King Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Isn't it ironical Rahul has about 10 100 partnership with Laxman and Laxman is not even in the team right now :confused_smile: BTW the ever dependable Steve Waugh has 64 100 runs partnership of 168 test matches. Link to comment
Dhondy Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Rahul Dravid is India's MVP. Look at the records any which way you like- they'll all lead to the same conclusion. Link to comment

King Posted May 26, 2007 Author Share Posted May 26, 2007 SS Das 3 NS Sidhu 3 D Dasgupta 2 G Gambhir 2 KD Karthik 2 M Azharuddin 1 SB Bangar 1 A Jadeja 1 PA Patel 1 S Ramesh 1 M Kaif 1 Sarandeep Singh 1 J Srinath 1 How much variety can he tuck in in that list? He has had 100 runs partnerships with the likes of Sarandeep Singh, Srinath, Dasgupta, Patel, Bangar, Das and the rest. I remember a lot of Steve Waugh ones as he did so often use the tail to put that important runs. I kind of didn't know about Rahul Dravid's similar accomplishments. Amazing really Link to comment
