Why the hell are people blaming Dravid ?

[vvvslaxman]

Because Dhaka != Centurion' date=' as simple as that. How can you compare two different match conditions and pitches and complain that players didn't play the same way?[/quote'] You need good batting condition to take singles while chasing 300 plus? Both Gambhir and Raina proved pitch had nothing in it.

He didn't get Gambhir run out. He didn't get Tendulkar out He didn't get Raina out. Raina and Dravid would have steered India to victory had that pathetic decison was not given against Raina. Dravid was batting intelligently by rotating strikes and giving strike to Raina was going bezerk.

without dravid we would fold below 200 he kept the innings together brilliantly

[Gambit]

76(103) by any batsman chasing 300+ is criminal but given it's Dravid and given his obvious limitations, he can be excused.

Listen guys. I am not here witch hunting. Even when he came back i feared for this. The old school approach which just gets you nowhere. If we go back to Dravid recall announcement thread i had mentioned this. But i was okay because i thought he was going to retire after CT. I am not even sure he will do now with his scores.

You are witch hunting.

[Texy]

why do people believe we would have folded w/o dravid?? How do you know what the outcome would've been like? This argument could go on and on as there is no right or wrong answers.... let's just see what happens tomorrow

i thought dravid went blind on taking the third run which perhaps wasnt there at all u cant have a third run especially when the throw is delivered i think pressure mounted on him and he went nerveless in the end...but i wont blame him but i would say it wasnt there for him this day
