Why didn't we all ask this question to M/s More, Chappell & Dravid when Ganguly was dropped from the test team after two useful knocks in Karachi against Pakistan on a difficult wicket against a strong pace attack.

nice question.....\nit is our master blaster &disaster sachin ramesh tendulkar.\nSachin Tendulkar\n Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar (born April 24, 1973) is an outstanding Indian cricketer. He has been a member of the Indian cricket team since 1989. He made his international debut against Pakistan in 1989 at the age of 16. He is widely regarded as one of the best batsmen of all time and by many as the greatest of his era. His cricketing and batting abilities are widely regarded as genius by many stalwarts of the game. For instance, Sir Donald Bradman, the Australian great said of Sachin, "He reminds me of myself". He is affectionately known as 'The Little Master' by his adoring fans.Early Days\nBorn in Mumbai (formerly Bombay) into a middle class family, Tendulkar was named after his family's favorite music director Sachin Dev Burman. He went to Sharadashram Vidyamandir School where he started his cricketing career. He, when in school was involved in a mammoth 664 run partnership in a Harris Shield game with friend and International team mate Vinod Kambli, and in 1988/89 scored 100 not out in his first first-class match, for Bombay against Gujurat. Aged 15 years 232 days, he was then by some distance the youngest player ever to score a century on debut.He played his first international match against Pakistan in Karachi facing up to the likes of Wasim Akram and Waqar Younis. He scored just 15 runs and was bowled by Waqar Younis, who also made his debut in that match. It was an innings very different from how the rest of his career went. He followed it up with his maiden test fifty a few days later at Faisalabad. However he could not get a century in that series. His One-day International (ODI) debut on December 18 was equally disappointing where he was dismissed without scoring a run again by Waqar Younis. The series was followed by a non-descript tour of New Zealand in which he did not make remarkable contribution. In the tour of England in 1990 he scored his maiden test century but the other scores were not remarkable. It was in the 1991/1992 tour of Australia that he made his mark as a remarkable batsman. He has been man of the match 11 times in test matches and Man of the Series twice, both times in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.His maiden ODI century came on September 9, 1994 against Australia in Sri Lanka at Colombo.He was named by Wisden as one of the Cricketers of the Year 1997 which was the first calendar year in which he scored a 1000 test runs. He repeated the feat in 1999, 2001 and 2002.AchievementsSome remarkable achievements of his career are:\n 4th highest tally of runs in test cricket (10,134) at an outstanding average of 57.25 (highest among those who have scored over 8,500 test runs) as of March 2005\nMost runs (over 13642) and centuries (38) in one-day internationals\nOnly person to have scored over 11,000 ODI runs and over 25 ODI centuries as of April 28, 2005\nHighest ODI batting average among Indian batsmen and among all batsmen who have scored over 7,500 ODI runs (as of April 3, 2005)\nMost Number of Man of the Matches in one-day internationals\nOnly player to have over 100 innings of 50+ runs in ODIs as of April 2005\nMost Number of Runs in World Cup Cricket History\nFirst cricketer to cross 10,000-run mark in ODIs\nHas equalled Sunil Gavaskar's record of 34 test centuries.\nAmong those who have played over 100 test matches, he is the only one with a batting average above 55.\nOnly second Indian to cross 10,000 runs in Test matches.\nHe has the most centuries in ODI cricket against Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. \nHe is the fastest to score 10,000 runs in test cricket history. He holds this record along with Brian Lara. Both of them achieved this feat in 195 innings.\nTo go with this he has 34 hundreds in Test cricket at an average of 57. An average above 50 distinguishes a batsman as an all time great.\nHighest individual score in ODIs amon

The point given by the Team management and the Coach is India need 5 Bowlers, 3 spinners and 2 Fast Bowlers it not OKay.\n\nKaif Should be in the Team at any cost in the Test Team for the Reasons mentioned below :\n\n1.   He is a Excellent Fielder, and no one can just match him in that case.\n2.   He is a very intelligent sharp and a very quick learner.\n3.   He is a very good Athelet, and he is very quick in running between the wicket.\n4.   When the Indians lost too many wicketes in the 1st Innings at Nagpur, he was the one with the company of our Leader The wall Rahul Dravid who took the Initiative and took the Indian team out of trouble, Great knock and Great Attitude and character shown, well done Kaif.\n5.   It is not OK to include Piyush Chawla now straight away instead of the much experienced Mohammed Kaif, because already we have Kumble and Harbhajan as genuine Spinners and then we have the Tendulkar, Sehwag, Yuvraj who can also spin the ball and contribute to the Indian Team.\n6.   When things are going very well for the Indian Team, then Kaif forms a very good partner at the other end with any batsmen i.e. Tendulkar, Dravid, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sehwag or any body else.\n7.   If given more chances then Kaif would prove himself that he can win more and more matches for his Indian team.\n8.   It is the form that matters the most than any other factor in a particular series, and it is the right time that Kaif is playing well and he definetly deserves a right place in the Indian Team in the present Scenario.\n9.   I would ask everybody to think of the same Indian team which is playing in the 2nd Test at Mohali but for the one change which should be in the team is that instead of Piyush Chawla - Mohammed Kaif should be playing the Match, that is it! Simple.\n10.  Because Piyush Chawla is so young and he can get a chance whenever in the future or we can try him in the ODI's since we are having enough 7 ODI's after the Test Series.

I believe Dravid is a greater batsman because he has led india to many victories & has got india out of trouble a lot of times.Tendulkar hasn't won us that many games as he could have.Also Dravid is selfless,doesn't chase records & is a way better captain than Tendulkar was.
