Dravid or VVS Laxman: Who should bat at #3 in the next Test (Ahmedabad)

[King]

U mean in the next test or for all the test.... if for all the up coming test then u r wasting SRT.

Tendulkar's not playing the next test. As for long term Laxman should definitely play at no.5

On current form, Laxman at 3. Dravid just destroys the momentum in his struggle to get into form.

Votes are split fairly evenly, RD marginally ahead RD:VVS :: 15:14 presently

On current form' date=' Laxman at 3. Dravid just destroys the momentum in his struggle to get into form.[/quote'] and if its sehwag who falls first, then jaffer-dravid combo is the most boring one. its like you are forced to watch the paint dry AND its cloudy.

Laxman is leading 16:15 ;)

I used to think that "ICF fans wanted VVS to bat at #3"...mere perception. The poll proves there are strong proponents of both RD @3 and VVS @3 equally.

On current form' date=' Laxman at 3. Dravid just destroys the momentum in his struggle to get into form.[/quote'] I expected a message to this effect to pervade this particular post. Dravid in his current form would be great at saving matches but we are looking to win and to do that out batsman need to score at a sensible rate. Whilst the position in Australia was different, there was no reason for Dravid to build a defensive innings on a dead flat pitch in Chennai. I'd much rather see Laxman get in and start scoring fluently, a weapon that Dravid's armoury seems to be lacking at the moment.
