No answer to Dravid's elegance

[Cricketics]

Freakin fantastic player he is.. what a class, what an elegant batsman.. there are tonz of players whom u might find elegent batsman.. but this class is bit different.. The Class of a Wall u curse him for being sick captain, u curse him for lacking leadership quality.. but here in elegancy and batting wayz he takes 100/100 Rahul Dravid, A class, A legend

Absolutely, he is one of the Absolutely, he is one of the best batsman of all ears but keeps a low profile. His batting is picture perfect. Anything full or short pretty much goes for four and anything good length he defends. He keeps it pretty simple and no wonder he is way more consistent than the likes of Lara or Tendulkar. I usually tell a kid to watch him and emulate him. His batting can be taught. Lara, Tendulkar or Ponting cannot be taught to young ones. :salute:

I thought it was a bit too I thought it was a bit too early to comment, but you're right. He does look exquisite today. :)

[DesiChap]

He need to make it count and He need to make it count and go for a big one today while keeping up the RR

[Cricketics]

hmm early to comment, arey hmm early to comment, arey yaar i am not saying him just that he is batting well today, doesn't he play those shots regularly?? today only difference is that he is playing with better strike rate..

I know, but I did not want I know, but I did not want to jinx him :loser:

And where did the big score And where did the big score go? Just down the drain, isn't it? If you look elegant fine. But I'd rather do with 110 ugly runs than just "elegant" 50 runs!!! When he had dropped one MO batsman, he should have taken the responsibility and gone on to score big, instead of playing that irresponsible shot!

That's very astute observation. This also answers the question why he doesn't get the kind of bidding his consistent batting deserves, along side lara tendu. Mankind is sucker for gifted individual a gift which is beyond their reach no matter how steadfast and disciplined they get. When one sees dravid at work there is sense of adulation but one ends up thinking this is achievable by religiously following the practice fitness discipline regimen whereas when one sees people like Tendu/lara at work in addition to the obvious adulation there is this feeling of "can't get there no matter what".
