How can you say Dravid is poor in twenty20s, he is defensive in tests, adequately paced in ODIs, what the hell makes you think that means he cannot bat agressively in twenty20? Fact is, he has not batted much in twenty20s with two innings and 1 fifty at a strike rate of 127.

Exactly, and Dravid can accelerate when he needs to. We've seen him slog in the end overs.

Quite frankly if Dravid was utterly useless in Twenty20s it'd not change my view of him one little bit. :)

dravid and kalies best in 20/20 games lol hah

they would make 15 runs in the whole 20 overs
The day that everyone starts using 20/20 (or ODI for that matter) as a judge of how good a batsman someone is, is the day that I'll kill myself (or switch my allegiance to football).

I already went in the opposite direction, TBH, and that was loooooooooong before Twenty20 was first seriously considered (it was actually at the time the idea was first loosely mooted).

There are three forms of international cricket you know, and Rahul Dravid and Jacques Kallis are leading batsman in all three forms. Just because they are defensively minded in Test match cricket does not mean they don't know how to step up the pace in limited overs games, they have demonstrated this ability in the past and will continue to do it.

Think it was in the longer game, TBH - though I refuse to term said game a Test because it was against Zimbabwe in 2004\05. 8-)
