all i am saying is not because of his stat, but because of his condition. he's still got some juice to deliver for his team. consistently? -- i doubt. secondly, indian team is in a good enough position to play without him and perform well enough as a team. sometimes you've got to experiment. you have to risk in order to achieve. dravid, ganguly et al. are getting older as well. if i were an indian team supporter, i would want more yougsters playing and delivering before oldies disappear one by one from the team.
