What I wrote on this journal on 30 October 2008!

"If he doesn't score in the final Test, I'd say it's high time they dropped him for a youngster who deserves an opportunity and time to settle into Test cricket. Dravid's demise has been apparent for a while but I never realized just how bad it was. Even his strike rate, which was already among the slowest in world cricket, has taken a dip. Is this the end of the road for one of India's greatest batsman?" [LINK]

Ah well, at least that was 34 months ago... I was distinctly annoyed when Broad wasn't dropped for the start of this series, so that one came back to bite me a lot sooner!

It's easy to forget that the decision between Broad and Bresnan was touch-and-go on the eve of the 1st Test. However as things turned out, the result may not have been much different had they gone with the Yorkshireman.

It was brave of you to repost that.
