Red signal for Rahul Dravid: will he step down from Cricket?

India has own the first test that was held in Chennai. That is very positive sign for the Indian players in test cricket against England. In the odi series India secured victory 5-0. Bowlers and batsmen moved jointly to acquire the white-wash victory. But, in the in first test, it was totally different. Most of the batsmen crumbled doing nothing. 

The most dependent batsman Rahul Dravid is in the top position in this line-up. Although he was he was ahead just adding 7 runs in the two innings in the first test in Chennai. This promotion has been sent him back in the batting order. He was the batman who used to come to bat in second down but in the second the he will bat in the 7^th position. 

What do you think about this change in the playing XI? I think this is red signal for him to step down from the international cricket. By analyzing his previous 11 tests, it will not satisfy any of the fans who loves cricket more. May be his average is just 22-plus. After Sourav Ganguly, this is the time of Rahul Dravid retires from the international cricket.

India vs England 1st ODI: Who will win at last?

The 5^th day of the first test between India and England is going to ground after within a few hours. Now, it is the burning question to all fans of both teams who re living both the countries India an England even all over the world. 

Batting: The batting started really well. The openers dominated Indian bowlers highly. The openers stable and balanced batting worried Indian blowers and added a milestone of century and a half century. AJ Strauss and AN Cook added 118 runs from 39.6 overs. AN Cook secured 52 runs and AJ Strauss added 123 runs by hitting 15 fours and without driving any sixes. The English wicket keeper MJ Prior also shared his 53 runs to build a stable score in the fist innings. The top-middle order batsmen completely failed of constructed any foundation.

In the second innings, similarity repled again in England tent. Just two batsmen AJ Strauss and PD Collingwood secured centuries and MJ Prior added 33 runs. 

I think all the fans who were watching the match live both area sitting on the gallery and with a TV or Online was annoyed much to watch the quick-downfall of the batting side. In the half-day they lost their most valuable 6 wicket just playing 45 overs in the second day. Only the new captain MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh and Sachin Tendulkar scored well. But in the second inning Indian batsmen are showing passions to overcome the faults of the first innings. 

Bowling: the bowlers of both teams did really great. I think the fans were enjoying the bowlers’ movements. We can see clearly that the spinners got huge success in that pitch. 

So, as a supporter of India, I will hope that India could do well and could take the series lead. But I am confused about the pitch of the fifth day and the batting of the first innings that can not assure me to take the lead. Anyway, the result of the fist test of India and England just times matter.
