Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. no hes not... gator... thx for the compliment :hic:
gator Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. 38 of 63 balls.... WTF....
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. you are trying soo hard to make me defend Dravid... :lmao: well, not right now... I am off for lunch...
King Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. I won't say much now but am confident he will get his strike rate over 80-90 definitely.
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. exactly.....
gator Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. wat is the point, Ravi... if he is capable of that kind of acceleration, he should come in at 5.... yuvi can score run a ball in the middle and sachin could hve done better in the powerplay...
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. but coming in at no 5 and then being the tortoise we know he can be then when the game is arnd the 40th over....
King Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. Fair enough but I reckon these games are good for a reality check as to where one bats his best. I suppose I will pass this off as another experiement and hopefully they will realize Rahul is best suited at no.5 particularly when India have been off to a brisk start.
gator Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. no Aqua... he is a different man in the slog....all our success has come wen he has played at 5....
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. no Aqua... he is a different man in the slog....all our success has come wen he has played at 5.... ok, if u say so
Zap_Brannigan Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. would you blame him this time?Last game, we got 220 in 30 overs only to get another 70 odd in the next 20.. Anyway,Dravid always suffers from not knowing when to accelerate. Ideal situation would be to take that decision away from him. So 5 was a perfect slot for him.If he comes in before 30 overs, he knows tht with only 1 batsman after him, he needs to consolidate and if he comes in after 40, he can break lose.
King Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. 244/2 after 41 overs is a good score irespective. Ganguly, Tendulkar and Robin took care of the run rate. I have to say they are doing quite well now.
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. :duh: He is out... the wall..... and the idiot is in... yuvraj... :headache:
Aqua Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. oops wrong... just assumed tht yuvi would be coming cos thts the line up... ok dhoni is in... not that he is any better...
Bumper Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. Yuvraj should bat at no. 3 on flat decks. Dravid can come at no. 5, unless we get off to a very bad start
King Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. It doesn't matter to be honest, you can't fault a team for batting when they have just scored 341 runs off 50 overs.
Chaos Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. man, dravid laid the foundation, really useless comment this.
gator Posted January 31, 2007 Author Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. man' date=' dravid laid the foundation, really useless comment this.[/quote'] we could have crossed 400, if DRavid had come in at 5 and we managed to score 30 more runs in the powerplay... Sachin at 3 would have paralysed them.... atleast Yuvi should have been given a go....

Anakin Posted January 31, 2007 Posted January 31, 2007 Re: The tortoise Dravid of 90s is back. It was a good inning dude, may be a bit faster would've been great, but a fine enough knock as the anchor.
