Dravid reveals batting secrets

Rahul Dravid doesn't need to put on his pads when he comes out to bat. That is what the Pakistan camp feels.

"He is so straight and negotiates almost every delivery with his bat. Why does he need pads at all?" asked an admiring Danish Kaneria, shaking his head in frustration.

With two successive centuries and yet to be claimed by a bowler -- he was run out in the ongoing second Test -- in the series, Dravid's bat is getting broader and broader each time he sets out to take strike.
