I suppose... But anything can happen in cricket. Pietersen's proved he can dominate on a day 5 oval pitch & did you really expect South Africa to chase down 434 odd against Australia last year?
Just picture at the end of the day's play Pietersen down on one knee, clinching his fist to the dressing room, red steaming face; everyone in the ground rushing onto the field & Dravid walks off with his hands in his face.
Later that night on the news, shows hundreds of Indian Cricket Supporters running mad through the streets whilst surrounding a helpless goat that is being hung that has Rahul Dravid's name tagged on it. (I dunno, might do something else. That's just what they did to Damien Martyn after the Champs Trophy)
This begins an extended downfall in Indian Cricket after being eliminating in the Group Stages of the World Cup & then later on losing a series that they were pretty much guareented of winning after Dravid, Tendulkar, Ganguly & Kumble retire.
