Sachinism Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Sehwag seems to be getting back at Dravid' date=' for his comments at the end of Day 4.[/quote'] :giggle::giggle:
amits Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 before this nz series, gambhir had never played a test outside the subcontinent & played only odis & 20/20 and happened to do well in each of them. he was the best player in the cb series in australia in 2008. and australia is not a part of the subcontinent
Deleted_User_1 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Gautam Gambhir’s marathon match-saving 137 in the second Test against New Zealand on Monday earned him rich accolades from stand-in skipper Virender Sehwag who likened the pugnacious left-hander to Rahul Dravid and dubbed him the “second wall” of Indian cricket. More... This is not fair. He should acknowledge Dravid's contribution. Without his time at the wicket we could have lost. What a faackhead this Sehwag is.
King Tendulkar Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 How quickly things can change... Less than 15 months ago' date=' [b']not many people backed Gambhir to be an international class performer. Now, he's probably the world's most valuable batsman. Opposition teams from here on will be really really weary of this man. . Don't make me bump the threads were I was demanding his inclusion in the team:--D
diegovegaz Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 it takes a lot to bat a marathon 11 hours credit to him for changing his natural game rahul dravid has had a very positive influence on him and, this is just the beginning of gambhir's test career
Holysmoke Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Don't make me bump the threads were I was demanding his inclusion in the team:--D :adore:
umpire Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 how can he be second wal. He should be first wall. After bowlers break him, they have to deal with Dravid.
msb1991 Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 It is a fantastic compliment to be compared to Dravid. What few realise is that Dravid strung together arguably the longest period of prolonged form that cricket has seen, averaging over 45 in each year from 1997 to 2006! It will be great for Indian cricket if Gambhir can achieve similar consistency.
suraj Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 how can he be second wal. He should be first wall. After bowlers break him, they have to deal with Dravid. :nice:
flamy Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Sehwag said. "I can say that because hardly any player plays for almost 11 hours nowadays. He is the one who saved the game for us. I think we can call him the second Wall of the Indian cricket team. This one comes from north." racist! :omg:
EnterTheVoid Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 When India were asked to follow on and with Sehwag back in the dressing room before the end of the third day, I was of the view that the match was over and the series would be 1 - 1 For a naturally agressive player, and nothing typifies this agression more than walking down the wicket, to sudbue his agressive instincts and bat for 1.5 days speaks volumes of his concentration Match saving innings. Well done :congrats:
spectre Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 racist! :omg: This one comes from north. well, he didnt say that in the presentation...i saw that in the higlights...maybe media masala

fineleg Posted April 10, 2009 Posted April 10, 2009 Huh!? in SMG's league? Gambhir has a long way to go before he can be compared to Gavaskar in Tests. GG can get there, but he has a long way to go before he can become a legendary opener like Sunny. And, Sunny in T20 or ODIs - he'll make the T20 into a Test :D In the limited format, GG is certainly well suited already.
