saneindian Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Given the struggles Dravid has had on this tour, should VVS be asked to bat at no. 3 in our 2nd innings?
Deleted_User_1 Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Let the SL inning end first. At this rate, they may be playing well into the 5th day.
saneindian Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 Why can't we be a little flexible with our batting lineup? Dravid had struggled for form on this tour, VVS has looked in better touch. I was expecting VVS to come at no 3 today, didn't happen. And then unfortunately, Dravid got out as well, ending a miserable tour for him!!
The Outsider Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I would have sent Mithun and Ishant to open after seeing how the pitch loses all zip once the ball starts to get older. Chasing 250+ was was never going to be easy, so it was worth a punt to hope they could get through the first 10-15 overs. Yes, the strategy would have been labeled cowardly by quite a few but no less a batsman than Bradman has successfully implemented it. I always get a feeling there is a lot of room for innovation in the batting order in test matches, which captains never embrace.
