before injury simon katich just didnt fail, i suppose they're always better when there not playing anymore but he had a great vein of form, i remember the team often falling around him after all the retirements, carried his bat too, thats not an easy thing to do.

None of them, they are nowhere near as hard as the hardmen decades ago, since Steve Waugh, really

If I must pick one it's Chanderpaul

Not sure I'd choose Hussey or Clarke. They both struggle against the new ball. Batting for your life they'd face it at some stage. Hussey has looked ordinary against pace bowling for a while now.

These call on Dravid are mind boggling.

Blimey. Dravid has been around a lot longer than last summer you know.

Plays with soft hands, beautiful driver of the ball, even when he was out of form he was bloody difficult to get out. Dravid is one of my favourite all time batsmen.
Like the entire Indian team - magnificently, superbly, stupidly over rated. The pure mental weakness and technique deficiencies of the entire side was exposed in Australia last year. And England.

Was great seeing their huge heads get pricked.
