Purpose of this post? Well, you can judge from the title itself - because you (like me) too heard what Mr. Tony Greig said. One bad series and some people have already started to predict Rahul Dravid's retirement.
So the question is - is "The Wall" crumbling?
And the answer as usual is - NO.
Lets take a look at what the statistics say-
Check his scores in 2009 and 2010:
India vs NewZealand
66
8*
83
62
35
60
India vs Srilanka
177
38
144
74
India vs Bangaladesh
4
24
111*
(got injured and missed SA series)
India vs Srilanka
18

-In years 2009 and 2010, he has scored 981 runs in 18 innings at an average of 61.31
-He was the top scorer for Team India in calendar year 2009 with 787 runs at an average of 83
No doubt, this series was not good for him at all, but this is something every cricketer has to go through in his career. And players like Rahul Dravid can easily come out of it.
Just to share with you all- Rahul Dravid is now 4 catches away from whopping 200 mark.
