Dravid aplied his common sense, I think.
The decision was to declare one hour before stumps.
He could have three options: to declare after a wicket fall or after Tendulkar 200 or as a programmed robot to declare just before one hour.
He did not have to be a programmed robot and could declare after the fall of a wicket. Why don't we find the lack of sense of Tendulkar? With 6 wickets in hand and the decison to field for an hour, why should he bat so carefully and slowly?
