gator Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 man.... it is painful to watch dravid walk out at 3 and ruin all the momentum on a flat deck....
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. yeah? well then tell the openers to stick on for a while longer....
gator Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. Aqua... 47/1 is not bad at all in odis.... u jus cant waste powerplays in odis.... u dont get defensive until u r 3 down in the first 20...
King Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. That is the way he starts mate he will score quicker than most by the end of his knock. I can't believe you have discarded his knocks so far in this series just going by the 20 odd balls he has faced so far in this inning. :shrug:
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. how come ganguly keeps escaping the batting? 1 run and escape? instead he shd have been coming up smashing... which hes doing now, thankfully...
gator Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. Ravi.... agree, he makes up for it later.... then why waste powerplay... atleast give tht to someone who can start faster and make them count...

Ravi.... agree' date=' he makes up for it later.... then why waste powerplay... atleast give tht to someone who can start faster and make them count...[/quote'] Fair call, I think he is at his best when he bats at no.5

gator Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. AQua... Even if the opener gets out with the score on 0, the other batters are supposed to go hammer and tongs during the powerplay unless we lose 3 wkts in the first 20 overs.... it is a criminal waste.... dravid is 21 off 35 balls.... he can make it up later, but still powerplay balls are wasted...
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. 18.2 Emrit to Dravid, FOUR!!, short of length delivery wide outside the off stump, Dravid goes on the backfoot and cuts it square of the wicket, so the Indians mixing caution with aggression here
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. he knows what he is doing
King Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. Yup he is now getting there. Rahul always takes about 10-20 balls to get going. To be honest most batters take about that much time to settle down.
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. hes already got 4 4's... he will smash it up... also, indians seems to always lose wickets during powerplays... dont want a disaster do we?
King Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. Nice to see you posting on cricket these days Aqua :wtg: You were quite restrained to only posting in the "General Discussions" before.
