rkt.india Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 His 84 in his debut series. Etched in my memory. Till date some of the best on drives ever played by any batsman in an innings. I am talking from Gavaskar days. Which 84 you are talking about. His debut series was against England where he scored 95 on debut. He maiden test 100 was against SA in the third test at Wanderers and in the same test in second innings he had scored 81. I think you are talking about 84 in ODIs but that was not his debut series.
kabira Posted March 10, 2012 Author Posted March 10, 2012 dravid follwed up 95 with 84 in next test match...where Ganguly again scored 100
the_indian_fan Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 22-ball 50 against new zealand in an odi back in 2003. was it really dravid batting that day. and if u look at that innings, it was all proper cricketing shots and no slogging
phaedrus Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 This is one of them xZAugEsfw-0 ha! was thinking about this one too when i saw the thread. his reaction says it all
Prakat Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 This is one of them xZAugEsfw-0 awesome. :hatsoff: those were the best of days, those were the worst of days. How we will miss them all.
The Outsider Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 Which 84 you are talking about. Probably this one: http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/63715.html Here would be my picks: 1. Headingly - one of the greatest test innings I've watched. 2. 70 odd at Wellington on a brutal wicket in 2002. 3. The obvious pick of 180 at Calcutta. 4. The twin half centuries at Jamaica. 5. The 80 odd in an ODI in South Africa in '97 where he had a confrontation with Donald. 6. The 90 odd not out in 60 odd deliveries he scored in an ODI against England in '07. 7. The three centuries in England in '11, specially the one in Nottingham. 8. The two hundreds in an innings at Hamilton. 9. The 233 and 72* at Adelaide. 10. His brilliant captaincy in the Bombay test of 2004.
Laaloo Posted March 10, 2012 Posted March 10, 2012 22-ball 50 against new zealand in an odi back in 2003. was it really dravid batting that day. and if u look at that innings' date=' it was all proper cricketing shots and no slogging[/quote'] There are some idiots who were *****ing up Saurabh Tiwary in place of RD :cantstop:
adi B Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 the jamaica innings in 2006 nd 2011 were the best i guess in very difficult tracks... his 82 from 60 odd balls in bristol in 2007 was top drawer 91 at perth was awesome 170 odd in ahmedabad vs srl, yes the pitch was flat, but india at 37/4 , he did really well
vvvslaxman Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 dravid follwed up 95 with 84 in next test match...where Ganguly again scored 100 yup that is the innings. Amazingly beautiful innings.
