The Outsider Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I was just thinking about it from a slighlty different perspective and Dravid would be the best batsman a country has produced over the last 30 years if he was not an Indian, Australian, or West Indian. Link to comment
Chandan Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 We will always have our mind-blowing talent. But Dravid is in a different category. In this age of cirketers, I can say very honestly, Dravid was one of a kind. This is so true! I wonder if we'll find another batsman like Dravid in the coming years of slam bang cricket! He has played magnificently in this series when invariably the opening wicket fell for not much on the score-board. Will we ever get such an efficient no 3 ever? But instead of worrying about the future, I'm really enjoying Dravid's batting!! Link to comment
suraj Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 Dravid has had kinda ok career- not bad Link to comment

But instead of worrying about the future, I'm really enjoying Dravid's batting!! By my reckoning, when he retires....a whole era will have passed. An era of which he was the last exponent. When he retires...test cricket as we know it....will fade into memory. He has the distinction of being the LAST REAL TEST BATSMAN!!! We will never see another like him. Link to comment
spectre Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 For me, Dravid is the one of best batsman India has ever produced and the best test batsman I really hope he continues to play this form of cricket for atleast a few more years. A real legend he is Link to comment
graphic23 Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 in b4 SR quoters. What do you mean? Surely, a test average of 20 with a S/R of 120 is far better than an average of 53 with hundreds in the most trying conditions with a S/R of 40. S/R is what you use judge a batsman - just like pace is what you use to judge a bowler. Tt doesn't matter if you go for 18 runs in an over after publicly claiming that you'd bowl the batsman for a duck - and ridiculing his team. Its the pace that matters. Not getting hit for a 6 off a 150kmph delivery, then flicked for 4 off a 152 kmph, and then defensively pushed for a 4 off a 154kmph. We can haz orgasms about pace, noe ? For me, Dravid is the one of best batsman India has ever produced and the best test batsman I really hope he continues to play this form for cricket for atleast a few more years. A real legend he is In b4 Sachin fans.. oh wait. Link to comment
spectre Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 In b4 Sachin fans.. oh wait. Why would you want to bring up Sachin here...did I compare both anywhere in my post If people think Sachin is best, its their opinion and respect to that This is my opinion and everyone is entitled for having one Link to comment

My apologies for the confusion. Link to comment
kirtan Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 The Wall has made another mile stone in the last test. Many people forgot to mention it. He scored 50s in both innings of a test match for the 7th time, which is more than any other Indian Batsmen. INDIA'S EVER BEST TEST CRICKETER Link to comment
