Scapegoat returns for final rights!!!

Familiar faces were on view in the 30 man probables squad for champions trophy '09, save one. Rahul Dravid. The man has been in hibernation for almost 2 years now in ODIs and this sudden call must surprise each and everyone apart from the selectors.
On careful consideration, the reason for his inclusion becomes very obvious. The age old demon of short stuff has been rekindled from its grave to torment the indian middle order, and who better than The Wall to cope with nasty rip snorters. Oh you can keep showering accolades on Rohit and raina and gambhir...the young brigade which dismantles bowling attacks world over with consummate ease; but have they ever delivered in spicy conditions such as the one at lord's ? The notion that the trio has more than filled the shoes of dravid and ganguly is slowly coming a cropper, the simple reason being that both dravid and ganguly were quick to adapt to different conditions and pitches. Now with testing times for this indian middle order, it is imperative for them to adapt as quickly as possible.
The obvious long term solution for this resurfacing problem is to train the present bunch of batsmen with short stuff in similar conditions, but the selectors have opted for a short term solution...bring back the old war horse. oh.. you don't need dravid when the team is on a high, when everything they touch turns gold. Now, with a problem at hand, what do you do?? go back to the lamb which can be sacrificed again and again. The 2003 world cup memories come flooding back. That tournament saw dravid being used as a stop gap wicket keeper, he did an apreciable job...in fact it was very good as it came from a reluctant 'keeper. He showed then that he was a team man. the management knew that he was a scapegoat...so now, they have gone back to him. he will obviously be used till the young middle order comes to term with short pitched bowling. After that he is going to be unceremoniously dumped.
If suppose, the selectors do throw a second surprise by not including him in the final 15, then there is no plausible reason for his inclusion in th 30 list.
The only thing a cricket fan in me hopes for is the rebirth of dravid in such a way that he cannot be shown the door without credentials and respect. As for now, he remains a lamb ready with its neck bent on the altar.
