odis in 2007-1300 runs 4th in the world

ipl 2008- 350 runs and 6 wickets at an economy of 6 which included three matchwinning performances and 2 man of the match awards.....

IPL MVP-12

Now if thats not performance what is??he fielded well too..took 6 catches and made to run outs...

now thats way better than yuvis or dhonis or sehwags performance..give me a valid reason as to ehy he is not in the team..

also..i forgot to add..the last test against SA in kanpur, DADA singlehandedly won the match for India when all the superstars failed..he also scoed an 87 in the last match when the batting failed yet again..Saurav has bee proving that by form..he has been the best player in the indian fraterty over the past two years..but hes still not in the team...

i say..what has dravid done to be not thrown out of the team??if ganguly can be thrown out for a lean patch..why is dravid still there in the test team??

When you chuck a player with the 4th highest runs in Odis you are not doing it for the interest of the game...

^^^+1 Very well said.
