zep1706 Posted August 22, 2014 Posted August 22, 2014 ^ didn't do that great in SA tbh but nonetheless great batsman Dravid is probably the best Indian batsmen that I have seen against the moving ball. His ability to play it late was exceptional. However he was not equally good against extra pace. His reaction time was not as great as Tendulkar's. Therefore Tendulkar did better in Aus and SA.
undisputed chap Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Dravid can atleast teach them a few things about hard work & test cricket.
CSK Fan Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Dravid thinks mid tour changes should not have been done http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2014/content/current/story/773205.html "You don't have problems if people want to make changes, it's part of professional sport. [but] there's still not a lot of clarity on whether this is a long term appointment or the changes we have seen are for this series, so there's a bit of confusion around that," Dravid said. "Sometimes from a players' perspective that can be quite hard. I hope that's something Ravi [shastri] will handle quite well. All these players also build relationships with support staff and as players you do recognise that at some level you are actually responsible for your own success and failure." On Fletcher Having worked extensively with Fletcher as a player, as well as team mentor recently, Dravid said he got along well with the players. "If you ask me, I think he's got a lot of knowledge and I know having been around the team that the team does respect him and a lot of them get along very well with him and do ask him for a lot of technical advice. There is a good rapport between him and Dhoni." Poor Fletcher, being made the scapegoat
undisputed chap Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 If Dravid is brought in we can see rajasthan royals style chopping & changing every other game
achilles Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 What a soft target! Agreed he is partially responsible. But so is Dhoni. Why isn't Dhoni being given feelers? Why aren't we being tough with him?
Switchblade Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 What a soft target! Agreed he is partially responsible. But so is Dhoni. Why isn't Dhoni being given feelers? Why aren't we being tough with him? That's because BCCI Babus feel that we have no option apart from MSD which is ridiculous.
achilles Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 That's because BCCI Babus feel that we have no option apart from MSD which is ridiculous. Ridiculous bro. We need to change the Team Management and the Captain. Else, even if we get any coach in the world, Dhoni will continue manipulating.
CSK Fan Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 That's because BCCI Babus feel that we have no option apart from MSD which is ridiculous. No, it is definitely much more than that. n fact, Shastri etc have come out openly in support and defense of him, definitely more than trying to prop someone as no one is there.
Switchblade Posted August 23, 2014 Posted August 23, 2014 Ridiculous bro. We need to change the Team Management and the Captain. Else' date=' even if we get any coach in the world, Dhoni will continue manipulating.[/quote'] We need a complete overhaul buddy also some of the BCCI babus need to go its just ridiculous that under Dhoni we have been humiliated series after series yet these guys think we have no other option why not try some one else at least give someone a chance hardly makes any difference as it is as we are losing match after match.

I agree. Why not try Virat in ODIs and Rohit in Tests? Graeme Smith was so young when he started.
gslv Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 If I was fletcher I would definitely write a book describing influence and manipulation of MSD.
jusarrived Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 What a soft target! Agreed he is partially responsible. But so is Dhoni. Why isn't Dhoni being given feelers? Why aren't we being tough with him? May be cos the Indian team did achive a lot in the past with MSD as captain , since Fletcher has taken over its all been downhill.

SLICKR392 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Dhoni just announced that Fletcha is going to be with the team until the WC. Yay!
Raghav_12 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 May be cos the Indian team did achive a lot in the past with MSD as captain ' date=' since Fletcher has taken over its all been downhill.[/quote'] For all uphill Kirsten was responsible, not Dhoni.
Raghav_12 Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Dhoni just announced that Fletcha is going to be with the team until the WC. Yay! Yes, It is just like if he owns the team. Who is he to declare that Fletcher going to be there until WC 2015 ?
Laaloo Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Dhoni just announced that Fletcha is going to be with the team until the WC. Yay! Well looks like Dhoni just dropped the World Cup Raina, Virat, Ashwin and Jadeja bowling from overs 10 to 40 :woot:
adi B Posted August 24, 2014 Posted August 24, 2014 Well looks like Dhoni just dropped the World Cup Raina, Virat, Ashwin and Jadeja bowling from overs 10 to 40 :woot: keep very very low hopes for the wc this time
