Rahul Dravid rejects honorary doctorate

[Sidhoni]

"By that logic" you mean the logic you just used to criticize sachin? Please tell me why is dhoni still playing meaningless t20I? 

Dhoni is our second best batsman after Kohli in last 3 years T20I. I don't know from where people have this myth about him being not good enough for this format.

Sachin on the other hand was clearly our worst those days.

lol do you really believe that? with a highest score of 48 and strike rate of 122. Anyways, that's not the point,even if he was the best t20 batsman he shouldn't be playing meaningless t20I, t20 is a place to try out and groom new players, meaningless t20s hold no value, did he forget that he got a chance to be captain cool because sachin, ganguly and gravid refused to play the t20 world cup, so why is he blocking the place of a youngster by playing these meaningless matches?

Last 3 years avg 40+ and SR 140+. I don't know what else he needs to do.

If T20 is a place to groom youngsters why do players like Dilshan Gayle Samuels etc play at 35+. Sachin Saurav etc didn't play then as it was a perception that this format is meant for youngsters only which is obviously proved otherwise through the years. We have Hogg and Hodge playing even at 40+.

lol @40 average yet he has just 1 40+ score in last 25 innings, you really are a blind dhoni fan.  So now dhoni is following cricketers like dilshan, gayle, samuels  lol not a great role model, you have no right to criticize sachin if you are this biased for dhoni

Btw misbah is also playing after being 40+, good thing sachin doesn't follow mediocre cricketers 

[msplash9]

Wow .. a thread created to appreciate Dravid and all the posts are regarding Sachin or Dhoni . Sad but pretty much sums up his career

[Sidhoni]

lol @40 average :hysterical:yet he has just 1 40+ score in last 25 innings, you really are a blind dhoni fan.  So now dhoni is following cricketers like dilshan, gayle:hysterical:, samuels  lol not a great role model, you have no right to criticize sachin if you are this biased for dhoni

Is he supposed to score 40+ in 10-12 balls? SR of 143 is HIGHEST in the team in last 3 years among batsmen having played more than 10 innings.

So if he's just facing 10-12 balls then he's not the 2nd best batsman now is he? 140 strike rate is very low for a finisher, you mean to say 14 of 10 balls is good batting by him? he should be striking above 200 if he's only facing 10-12 balls, do you really believe that's good batting by him?

Is it his fault if he faces 10-12 balls?

He is not our only finisher is he? Yuvraj has a massive SR of 101 while Raina has 125. Dhawan and Rahane as openers are in 110s. Yet somehow despite having highest SR Dhoni is percieved to be our worst

You don't make any sense, do you know the difference between strike rates of top order and lower order batsmen? 140 off 100 balls is not the same as 14 of 10 balls, you really need to accelerate at the end of innings,  whether it is his fault or not, he can't claim to be the 2nd best batsman if he only faces 10-12 balls per innings. It is a real shame such noob fans have the audacity to criticize sachin

Are Yuvraj and Raina top order? Is 110 good enough for top order anyway?

And obviously no one can say anything against the Gawd. He is above criticism.

Man you are all over the place, who's talking about yuvi and raina here? Did I mention yuvi or raina? Just cause you can't defend your beloved dhoni you keep changing goalposts. I've never seen a more blind fan of dhoni before, you can criticize GAWD if you have the capability to take the same criticism for dhoni, you are a blind fan of dhoni and yet you criticize sachin, it makes you a hypocrite

Obviously you didn't mention Raina and Yuvi because Dhoni has been better than them. You can question Dhoni's 140 SR but not Yuvi's 101 SR. If you call me blind in fanaticism you are the same in hatred. Unable to counter stats and so switching the topic conveniently via name calling.

Lol that legend did jack with rajya sabha seat. He couldn't attend even couple of days of the house. Why even accept if he can't attend ? Also zero use of the funds provided as well. Heck he couldn't even spend for a sports facility. Atleast someone like satyarathi could have put it to better use. My point is rajya sabha should be earned as well. Looks like sachin didn't in this case. I am still a fan of sachin every one is open to criticism.
