Nottingham, July 31: Skipper Rahul Dravid believes India's victory in the second cricket Test against England was yet another ‘small step’ taken in the long march towards becoming a dominant team both at home and away."Every win that we have, we can take heart from that," Dravid said after India's seven-wicket win at Trent Bridge.
"We have played well abroad in the last four-five years. We have won everywhere we have toured, won series as well. It's been an improvement, even though not probably as quickly as we would have liked and not as emphatically as we would have liked. But these are small steps along the way. It's great especially for the younger players who haven't seen international success away from home. That's something that will spur them on and inspire them to do much better."
It was only India's fifth win in 47 Tests they had played in England. Avoding defeat in the third and final Test at The Oval from August 9 will give them their first series win in 'Old Blighty' in 21 years.
