ALL that talent, and he isnt in the team... anyways, forget about that, i probably shudnt have brought it up... this thread is about dravid, and his 10K runs in odi cricket. congrats skippa :hmph: Link to comment

kabira Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: 10K 1-day Runs for Rahul Dravid it means two things Dravid and Inzy bat in middle order and hence dont have to face new ball...they knock around for singles and twos.. whereas Jaya, SRT open the inning and greater chances for them to score hundred but also same probability to get out on low score trying to hit out for boundaries or due to seam/swing...

Predator_05 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: 10K 1-day Runs for Rahul Dravid hahaha, 10k. I remember when i was in India back in '97; me and all my buddies hated "tuk-tuk" Dravid and were glad after he was dropped from the ODI side. If someone would have told us that he would score 10k and play 300 ODI's, we would have told that person to take a hike. What a turnaround it's been, eh ? After top scoring at the 1999 WC, he's never looked back. Hats off to you, skipper ! Now I wouldn't trade the Wall for any other middle order batsman in the world. Link to comment
kabira Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: 10K 1-day Runs for Rahul Dravid same feelings Predator.. I remember very vividly in one of the semifinal games in Champions Trophy ( I thnk first one) we were playing West Indies..we won the toss and were batting first...Those days we relied heavily on SRT and Ganguly. Dravid comes 1 down after lose of Ganguly...He plays out two quiet overs and bowler was freaking Reon King..and that too he was very new to the cricket...this made SRT very impatient and he threw away his wicket and that was game set and match to windies... I was really really really pissed at Dravid...and thought him to be useless batter much like kaif.. Link to comment
head coach Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: 10K 1-day Runs for Rahul Dravid He is simply the best batsman now in Indian team. Period. Link to comment
King Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Re: 10K 1-day Runs for Rahul Dravid His upturn in ODIs started since the time he scored 2 back to back hundreds in test match in 1998 in NZ. Then he backed it up with a ODI 100 in the ODI series that followed the test series. Since then he has not had to look back. Excellent stuff 10K in ODIs @ 40 is a fantastic achievement.
