Surprise resignation by Dravid
This really is a shock (to me at least, but I think everyone). India have just beaten England away and now have the Aussies coming - the biggest challenge of them all. What could have happened to make Dravid want to step down? The media pressure for the Indian cricket captain is probably more intense than any other role in world sport, but he would have known that when he took the job on. Perhaps it was his relative failings with the bat, but he's still an absolutely certain pick in the Indian team so it wasn't like his place was under pressure.
There must be some (not unusual) internal machinations going on within the Indian camp - Ganguly to reclaim the captaincy anyone?

It is a shame that he has resigned. Dravid should have been given the captaincy a lot earlier.
Hopefully, India will look forward and give Yuvraj Singh the captaincy. There is a need to break up the status quo of the middle order as India might find themselves playing without the big 4 (Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Laxman) fairly soon.
