vvvslaxman Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 This is the test we won in 2007. Let us see how Dravid distributed the bowling in the first 45 overs or so zaheer 4 sreesanth 4 zaheer 3 RP 2 RP 4 sreesanth 4 zaheer 2 Ganguly 1 Ganguly 1 Kumble 1 Zaheer 3 Ganguly 2 Sreesanth 4 Ganguly 4 Tendulkar 2 RP singh 3

zep1706 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 If it was Dhoni he would have kept bowling Zaheer for the first 20 overs. The guy has no idea how to handle his seam bowlers.
zep1706 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 At the end of the innings Zaheer still bowled 21 overs out of 65 but Dravid kept him fresh by giving him short spells.
maniac Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Yeah even in Odis he usually messes up the calculations ....likes of kohli,Raina end up bowling a lot more and one of the frontline bowlers end up missing out.....this is where I thought kohli did well in Asia cup.but he is back to bowling vijay,under bowling binny etc.
Gollum Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 TBH Dravid was one Indian captain who really knew how to manage the fast bowling resources. Got rewarded with 2 series wins outside SC(Eng,WI) and a fightling loss in RSA.
