Gollum Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 In those conditions this team would have been 80 all out on day 1 and then bowlers would have been blamed for the ensuing fiasco. MOM Dravid 148(307) Bangar 68(236) Those 2 100s by Sachin and Dada were the softest ones you will find against a beaten opponent. Groundwork was laid down on day 1.

Sachinism Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Absolutely amazing test match. Day 1 of Bangar and Dravid digging in in extremely testing conditions and then the Tendulkar assault on Day 2. Then picking up 20 wickets. Switchblade and UrmiSinhaRay 2 Link to comment

Adi BB Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Those were tough conditions to face on day 1 ,overcast and wet conditions to face two good new ball bowlers in higgard and Caddik (both averaged under 28 at home iirc) .pretty sure these jokers would have bundled under 200 with only kohli making a mark Link to comment

I remember Sachin and Ganguly went after the bowlers and Sachin missed his double hundred by 8 runs. Adi BB and express bowling 2 Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 why go that far. Most recent tour when Dravid was on his last legs scored 3 centuries and put up an exhibition on how to play swing bowling. These frontfoot plonkers have no clue against swinging balls in the channel even if it comes at 78 mph. Clarke, Switchblade and Suhaan 3 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 220-2 on day 1 and 400-6 on day 2. Link to comment
Suhaan Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 True masterclass ,an epic Dravid innings ..any team could have folded under 150 on those conditions Switchblade and express bowling 2 Link to comment
Chandan Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Just before that Leeds test, how had they saved the Trent Bridge test was also one to remember. https://goo.gl/2t7nER Scorecard Dravid 115 Sachin 92 Ganguly 99 After Sehwag was dismissed for 0 and Jaffer had gone for 5 in the 2nd inning. They were 250+ runs behind then. And saved the match, to win the next one and square the series. Switchblade and Adi BB 1 1 Link to comment
div Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 This was Hoggard's 14th test match,the current English pace attack is far more experienced. Link to comment

Yup ,they showed great character and escaped with a hard earned draw .can we even think of something like this happening with this pathetic batting unit ,they'd get bundled out by lunch lol Gollum and Switchblade 1 1 Link to comment

Hoggard had decent county experience behind his back and knew the conditions well ,even a 20 year old Curran phacked us !forget that ,in 2011 Trent bridge test ,the conditions were very tough to bat and the pitch was responsive and still our over the hill marathas managed to score 288 against a strong English attack similar to this lords test .do you think our current batters would go past even 170 on that pitch against a rampaging Anderson and broad of 2011 ?

The Outsider Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Why is there such a contrast? And it wasn’t as if India’s batting wasn’t getting bundled out for atrocious totals back then. It was happening, but the frequency was much less. Even on a pitch with ambient conditions for bowling 175-200 is something that is not out of reach. That still might not be enough to win the test, but it shows basic application and courage to counter tough situations. Even in the 90s, when India failed to register a win, they fought a number of close tests. The ‘91-‘92 Australia tour or the ‘98 South Africa tour could easily have been 2-3 or 1-2. The difference from then to the the current scenario is the absolute demolition of the batting and bowling units to put up a fight. If one goes by skills, Prasad was very ordinary compared with the fast bowlers in the team today. But look up at the number of matches he kept the team in contention with a performance here or there.
