Congrats Dravid

[Rajiv]

It goes unnoticed, Dravid was holding one end to let Lax play his shots I say!, Bravo Dravid

[Cricketics]

I Say, Dravid, The Wall Of Indian Test Cricket..

[chunky_lafanga]

Yes if the other end was not plugged then we could have easily been 165 for 7 by now.

[Cricketics]

one can easily say that laxman enjoy to bat the most when dravid is batting on other end.....

[beetle]

The wall is slowly being rebuilt!...:two_thumbs_up:

[chunky_lafanga]

The wall is slowly being rebuilt!...:two_thumbs_up:

Needs to add some good quality cement in the mix instead of too much sand :giggle: Come on Dravid pathar walli wall laga de.

[Anakin]

With 4 lives so far, it'll be a shame if he can't get a 100 and get back in form.

[Sachinism]

he needs to get back into form, he has been the backbone of indian cricket for a long long time if this is the way he will get back into it, then so be it

[kabira]

well done Rahul.. Its so easy to throw the towel and give up..But he has been determine, you can look at his eyes....full of determination... Rahul job is only half done...keep going..

[Cricketics]

LEGEND reaches baby ton

[kabira]

I jinxed him.. he is out...poor shot..

[Sachinism]

all that hard work thrown away with a stupid shot

[sm332]

still gave us a very good start to this innings ... hopefully this will help him turn the tide on this tour and his form in general

[Chaos]

what stupid shot, could have easily left that alone...

[Anakin]

Not a convincing innings, but good to see he fought hard. Hopefully this will give him enough confidence for the next time.

[siddhu]

That was test cricket at its best... A batsman struggling to make runs... bowlers coming at him hard... and the way he replied gave a perfect example of his patience, perseverence and strength of character. Sad though, that he didn't get the century. He could have ground Aussies to dust by batting for two days. (Yes i am aware he got a couple of chances caught off a no ball, dropped catches etc but still....)

[Chandan]

I'm so relieved for Dravid. This innings would have reduced his dislike for the opening position, at least in this tour. He really fought hard even if he was unable to time or place the balls. At least one cover drive was vintage Dravid when he leaned into it and dispatched it to boundary perfectly. I hope he regains his form quickly. We'll need our old wall at Perth.

[Rajan]

Dravid is just one more knock away from regaining his form. even in Pak series, he was getting the starts before getting out to some good balls. at least the bounce is true in Australia. I am hopeful of the resurgence of Dravid, well and truly in the second innings to thwart Aussies winning streak. That will give enough confidence to face up to the Perth attack, where they might get in Tait. Somehow, I have a feeling that Dravid can score off Tait faster than he has been able to score off Clark. Tait bowls much more straight and also offers some over pitched deliveries every over which we can capitalise on.

[suraj]

I have full faith in Dravid

[SachDan]

Rahul has always been the back bone of Indian cricket and an unnoticed hero playing second fiddle to great partnerships. A great innings is just round the corner for Jammy.
