> I never said Uthappa is a better player than Dhawan. I merely said Uthappa
> impressed Chappell and the selectors in challengers and got selected.

> Dravid is not like ganguly to pull his statemates or southern mates into the
> team like ganguly did with northies.

> If Dravid had any real power and bias he would have succeeded in persuading
> Chappell to include his buddy Kumble in the OD team.

> Dravid stood behind the mediocre and useless kaif despite less than 10
> average in the last 10 ODs is proof enough he doesnt have any regional
> considerations and biases.

> And he replaced SreeSanth with RP Singh and Munaf in the ODs when the
> situation warranted also proves he is above regional biases.
