Should Rahul Dravid given another chance to play in ODI?

Looking at it with a micro perspective I would say Yes. Thats considering the ability and talent Rahul has. He has been a very loyal servant to the country. Has done wonders for the team. Not only is he a formidable force in the test version but has also stamped his authority in the ODIs as well. One should not forget that he has the fastest 50 in the ODIs. He has improvised well to adapt himself to the shorter version of the regular game. Even in the recent IPL he was in good form whenever he stayed in the crease for long.

Now, Looking at it from a Macro perspective I don't see any chance for Dravid to get back into the team. Not only are there players in better form than Dravid but also the selection committee and the board seems to be interested in getting a young team ready for the next world cup. And when u are talking of a future team Rahul Dravid seems to be a misfit. That doesn't mean he is anyway lesser capable than the one's in the team. Its only that he is a clover among the spades.

All in all Rahul Dravid wont get another chance in the ODI's unless the team blunders like how Ganguly got back after the debacle in South Africa. But it seems highly unlikely.

yh sure why not. Rohit Sharma is not doing great, so give a guy like Dravid chance. He contributed a lot in his whole life as a batsman and i am sure he will do it again if he gets chance. Dravid is one of the most classic batsman of all time, he knows how to stay in the crease, he knows how to hit, he knows how to field. He is a legend. Give him a chance, he deserves it.

i do think so..he can be rock solid in middleorder...hes a very good finisher..but that position has been taken by dhoni now

I think it is not necessary.The team is well enough.And we have to find a substitution in his place in the team.Rohit sharma seems to be the one.
By 2011 we should have a good team full of youth.

well rahul dravid has the capabilities to win the match from whatever circumstances. well he can stay at the crease and build up a partnership or he can hit big shots too. he has one of the fastest fities to ghis name. people who say he is slow in the one dayers should look at his strike rate.

if you really have to see what is wrong look at the problems from the moment dravid became captain there were controversies and how is somebody supposed to play well when he has such a lot of tension. At last when he got fed up of all the board he quit and that hurt the board so now as long as the board continues there is slim chance of his coming back.

Rahul dravid should be given one more chance definitely.
he is a superb player.. being a mid order player, due to match situations, he carried much pressure and saved our country many times from destruction. everyone simply says that he is waste. but persons who talks wrong about dravid, its true that they knew nothing about cricket.
when sachin, sehwag, dinesh mongia are in out of form, they are given so many chances. but its too bad they neglect Dravid.
in my point of view, dravid not only "The Wall".. he is also "The height of Patience"
