King Tendulkar Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 so if a player averages 90 but for a few months averges 85, that means he is decline? You are nuts! Link to comment
CC1981 Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 so if a player averages 90 but for a few months averges 85' date=' that means he is decline? You are nuts![/quote'] No, but Dravid is not averaging 85 or 90. A 57 average dropping to below 50 for an 'alltime great' batsman for an extended period definitely qualifies for a 'decline'. He is no longer batting like an alltime great- instead just a good batsman. That is decline in my books. Link to comment

Superb is a superlative that can only be attached to the best of the best- Dravid clearly is no longer in that group. Link to comment
Bumper Posted July 29, 2007 Share Posted July 29, 2007 Dhondy, If you remember, all those scores were erected on pitches as flat as a pancake and bowling attack not being that great. When did our batsmen score big on a lively track? 2002, Headingley comes the closest imo. Why just our batsmen, name any batsman who kept on erecting such high scores on lively tracks? Dont u think BCCI has something to do with this ?:D Link to comment

The Outsider Posted July 30, 2007 Share Posted July 30, 2007 What are the odds of Tendulkar going in his 60s, 70s or 80s tomorrow? Very high, I'd say. Taufel almost fulfilled your prophecy.:D Link to comment
