Dravid needs to be the first to admit that it was his team which failed (carefully picked, choices like Bhajji over Powar, persisting with Veeru, deporting Sachin to the middle order). It was gutsy, but has no one to blame up himself and I think he should drop out as the Indian Skipper. He may have been a great skipper if India was Oz, but then that is not the case.
His biggest folly was pushing Sachin down the order. As Hayden, Jayasuriya, Smith and Gilchrist have shown the World Cup will be won by the top order. Dravid had the best weapon in his arsenal but he chose not to use it and this should be his biggest regret. I am sure we would have been in the World Cup had Sachin opened.
