Dravid's achievement
When Dravid was dismissed for 77 in the first innings of the Bulawayo test against Zimbabwe, his average reached 58. This is now the
A few other milestones so far during this test: Laxman reached 4000 test runs, Ganguly reached 5000 test runs.
I'd expect Harbhajan to reach 200 test wickets as well. With a lead of 275, if he cannot get even one wicket, he is free to jump from Napier Bridge. If he cannot wait until he gets back to India, he can just pick any bridge in Zimbabwe.

Rahul Dravid is one of the most dependable batsmen India has ever had. What was worrying was the bad patch he has been in before this test. And even here, getting out for 77 is quite uncharacteristic of him.
He used to get out in the 80's and 90's early in his career, but then he made it a habit to go for the big 100's.
I did not see the innings so I don't know how he got out and under what circumstances, but one way or the other, he needs to get back to his big centuries.

He is definitely our most valuable Test batsman, by a distance. He has repeated the feat of losing his wicket when in sight of a 100, very un-Dravid like in the recent past. By his lofty standards, he has been out of touch for a while. We can only hope he rediscovers it.
