Declaration-gate II, another Dravid Conspiracy?

[jalebi_bhai]

Axar needed 9 off 3 to go past Kapil Dev's record for fastest test 50 by an Indian. With plenty of time left in this game, why was Axar denied this opportunity?

 

We all know Dravid has form for this. He notoriously denied Sachin a 200 in 2004, infamously known as Declaration-gate. What is his issue against personal milestones?

 

This is like the Montreal Screwjob of Cricket. Discuss.

Nobody knew or cared about this so called "Record". Even Axar wouldnt have any idea about it.

Team comes above individual records

hats off to Virat

Kohli was calling the shots. Dravid was merely watching him.

It was an opportunity to give a youngster the chance to enter the record books. Axar was batting beautifully and one more over to break/equal the record wouldn't have made much difference.

 

This is a clear pattern with Dravid.

Don’t think Dravid calling the shots here. He’s always been a meek “Naram Tatti” guy. Kohli calling the shots and Dravid looking up to him.

 

Kohli declared the innings with Ajaz in mind and Axar got overlooked…

Kohli got jealous about being out-batted massively by a semi tail-ender. A record breaking 50 would have added more insult to injury.

Why didn't Dravid stop him then? Why didn't he lobby for Axar to get one more over? Isn't he the greatest backer of young talents in India? What good is he as coach if he can't stand up for them?

[jalebi_bhai]

I feel Jayant Yadav is also part of this conspiracy. He is the one who plays the role of Shawn Michaels.

Jalebi ... declaration is the prerogative of the captain. Just dont think coach  gave any input on this as we had nearly 2.5 days left

[diga]

Too many threads on Dravid... skilfully diverting the attention from our failing captain & seniors
