Dravid ducks Azhar's bouncer on team lacking discipline

Mumbai, Nov 13: India captain Rahul Dravid today played with a straight bat when asked for his reaction to former captain Mohd Azharuddin's recent comments branding Indian team as lacking in discipline and calling for an end to the experiments which were going on in the team.

When asked by mediapersons on his reaction here, Dravid said '' we are a country of a billion people and every person is entitled to his or her opinion. I cannot and do not want to go and challenge each and every person's opinion.'' ''We are here to play our game to the best of our ability and we are doing that. We are not interested in what other people are saying, otherwise all our time would go into challenging the people's opinions,'' he observed.

''I do not want to react to Azharuddin's opinion and he is entitled to have one,'' the Indian captain signed off.
