[Sachinism]

Some people need to stop watching cricket, never satisfied with anything. India are #1 enjoy it

[Malcolm Merlyn]

No bro am not talking any nonsense. If u look at Yuvraj, and Karthi'ks innings. Dravid hardly looked like getting out. Rather dan bashing Dravid. We must feel gud abt the fact dat where a batsman like Yuvraj was feeling uncomfortable.Dravid looked rock Solid. And u need a player like Dravid who will be the pivot of the Team. We have too many strokemakers if Dravid can stay at the crease and score around a SR of 75 i thnk we sud take dat. :)

we need rocks in TESTS in ODIs and T20 we need RIVERS,At least SRT look like a STREAM,It was okay today bt in a more scoring game he will be bashed in to oblivion,i will wait till he plays MENDIS BTW welcome to ICF dear friend

we need rocks in TESTS in ODIs and T20 we need RIVERS' date='At least SRT look like a STREAM,It was okay today bt in a more scoring game he will be bashed in to oblivion,[b'] Yup. That's something I am also waiting to watch. Hope he spent some time with Sachin. If Yuvi can play Mendis with help from Sachin, why not Rahul?

i'm praying he does play mendis well....everyone seems to be reading him better...........

[Shehezaada]

Exactly. Sachin was scoring amid some very good bowling in difficult conditions.

difficult conditions sure but very good bowling?? Bond bowled a terrible first spell, especially to Tendulkar...lots of short and wide, misdirected short ones. You could tell his slower ones from a mile away. Vettori bowled great as usual but at the start of the innings NZ was allowed to look good because Dravid stonewalled. On the topic, it's just one game and Dravid was playing his role. He wasn't looking to score boundaries, his job was to keep Tendulkar company and that's what he did in a 50 run partnership. When he needs to pick up the scoring, he will.

Dravid Knew that wickets and partnerships were the key and not SR. :hatsoff: What can I say, other than another

I'm going to bookmark this response till next match

[Gambit]

Difference between the two could not have been starker.

[Anakin]

I wonder what the front page would have been if it was SRT, btw, I really don't wonder, because I've already seen it.

[Aadhavzone]

pls dont compare Scahin with Dravid! Wall has so many crackks and weep holes! :hehe:

[Shane]

Wall has so many crackks and weep holes! :hehe:

20k International Runs with those.

I DONT KNOW WHY EVERYONE IS PANICKING SO EARLY?Dravid's true worth will be known in SA where the ball will be nose high.yesterday,we were chasing 155 n Bond was a main threat.i'm sure MSD would have instructed RD to see off Bond.if RD has gotten out looking to score,Bond could have caused havoc. n to those who think Virat Kohli or Badrinath would have done a better job,thats utter BS.Bond would eaten them up for dinner.RD 's presence also allowed Raina to play at 6 where the ball got soft n bouncers werent any problems even though Vettori brought back Bond

[Show_stopper]

I just can't help but feel Dravid will be holding back this team from achieving these things...and the sad part is its all because of some stupid T-20. And stop exaggerating SA pitches..if anything they are going to be spinner friendly or flat most of the time as CBF said..we saw that in IPL.

[gaurav92]

the ball was moving and i dont see any wrong behind dravid's innings....dravid stringed a partnership with srt where srt did the bulk of the scoring now its against lankans and i m sure he wont play such an innings today i ll back him up every time coz hes demi god

IPL was arranged at a short notice.the pitches werent prepared properly.n in September SA pitches are usually bouncy. n i'm sure if needed RD wont mind going for his shots.yesterday we chased a small score n we just needed to avoid early collapse n RD ensured that.he has a 50 off 22 balls,remember?

bloody statistics, ask him to prove his selection today :eyedance:

[coffee_rules]

Looks like Dravid will have to prove his selection every match throughout his 20k odd runs.

[Aadhavzone]

actually i am not against him, now he is not capable enough to stay in XI, he is blocking an youngster's opportunity! :\:blink:
