Dravid urges batsmen to rotate strike better

[rkt.india]

When India collapsed against spin in Galle, they were suffocated by the in-and-out fields set by Sri Lanka. The fours were not available because of the boundary riders, and the batsmen played themselves into a shell by blocking for too long. This four-or-nothing tendency is not just India's problem; many international batsmen struggle against in-and-out fields these days. It also finds resonance in lower levels of cricket, as Rahul Dravid, who coached India A in series against Australia A and South Africa A, found out. India A lost one four-day match to Australia A on a dry Chennai pitch and against the spin of Steve O'Keefe before coming back with a victory over South Africa A in Wayanad.

If you don't have a defensive technique like Dravid, you can't block too many balls anyway. Dravid could afford to do it because he lasted 120 balls/innings on average and could easily last 200 balls if he wanted.

lol yeah not a better guy in the history of cricket than Dravid to talk about strike rate
