"I was disappointed that I put down a few catches in the last year. Whenever you drop a catch it is disappointing. I can get over getting out, but dropping a catch really stays with me. It really hurts. As a slip fielder you are going to drop a few, that's part and parcel of the game. The fewer you drop the better it is."

Shows his class, DK and Parthiv should hang themselves after hearing or reading this...

Retirement is fine but the way he got retired hurts me.

It all started as he was leading the badly losing side @ WC 2007. If he planned to get retire after OZ tour he could have announced before the last match at least.

Q. Was there a temptation to stay for one more Test match at home?

Dravid: "If you make a decision during a series, then I think it is great. I have been part of nice farewellls. But I made my decision now. Just to keep playing for the sake of playing one more match was not right. That's not how I have played the game. The only reason I played a cricket match for India was to try and win a match for India."

It seems he was not thought abt retirement at that time. Australia la irunthu vantha piragu thaan decide pannirukaar pola.

"Irrespective of how the Australian series would have gone, I had decided to take a call after the series. I had confided in a few friends and discussed what was good for Indian cricket and what the future holds

N Srinivasan: "I have mixed feelings. All of us know what Rahul Dravid has achieved on the field. I guess every Indian cricket fan knows every statistic by heart. He has been a great ambassador for the Indian team. We all think that everybody is permanent. Deciding to retire has to be the toughest decision Rahul has had to made. We all know how he performed in England.

Adhenna mixed feelings? appo adhula sandhoshamum included-a?
