Question for readers: What does India need to do to stop England in this game?

A question popped up in my head after yesterday's play. Who has the most Test runs since Rahul Dravid's Test debut?A quick stat check revealed what I had suspected.Since his Test debut on June 20, 1996, nobody has more Test runs than Dravid. Not even Tendulkar.

You could readjust this table to December 8, 1995, the day Ponting made his Test debut against Sri Lanka. Amazingly, it still makes no difference.Dravid tops the list despite a prolonged lean spell since 2007.

Needless to say, this is a blinkered view of things. Tendulkar, with his 14,726 runs is miles ahead of Dravid, who overtook Ponting last night.
