coffee_rules Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Dravid is useless in any other positionother than #3. At #5 down, he has to have a top order batsman to have a faster partnership. At #3, he already has a top order batsman for the team to score faster. Link to comment
matma Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I'm gueesing it may look like one of these two picks: 1. Sehwag 2. Dravid 3. Laxman 4. Tendulkar 5. Ganguly 6. Dhoni 7. Kumble 8. Harbajhan 9. Z. Khan 10. I. Sharma 11. M. Patel/RP Singh I think if the Indians take 5 bowlers in - 3 paceman, this is how I think the team will look. However, if they decide to take 4 specialist bowlers, then Gambhir will play and it would look more like this: 1. Sehwag 2. Gambhir 3. Laxman 4. Tendulkar 5. Dravid 6. Ganguly 7. Dhoni 8. Kumble 9. Harbajahn 10. Z. Khan 11. I. Sharma Ganguly offers medium-pace; Sehwag can turn his arm-over. My 2nd option, with Dravid and Ganguly offers Tendulkar some support in the middle order. My first option I think, leaves the Indian middle-order exposed. Link to comment
riya Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Very good thread .Laxman is very good in number 3 position ,so was Dravid .But Laxman is good at any position except opening ,but Dravid is only good at number 3 .And he seems to be too bothered about any change of position .So either we have to drop him or play him number 3 .
