Great Show by Saurav.Back to back centuries. I remember that Dravid hit 4 or 5 consecutive centuries once. Keep it coming Saurav. We need another century in your next test too, the 100th. That would be just wonderful.

It is sad people like you put stars like Sachin , Dada and Dravid into silos. You forget when Laksman, Dada, Sachin, Dravid hit tons, no matter which stadium they play in they are appreciated by our crazy fans
Dravid is one of our best Test batsman and there is no doubt on it. Ramesh - trust me a lot of people outside Karantak like him , grow up !!!
btw what has Dada or Bongs to do with Dravid's bat form ? ..... talk sense dude

bewkoof eemlipani ramesh,tere niche se kyon dhuan nikal raha hai....murkh aadmi,bhul gaya kya,wo ganguly ka hi century tha adelaide test mein,jahan se India powerful hua tha aussie series mein.Murkh aadmi,ye kyon bhulta hai ki dravid ko to bahut pehle hi hakal diya gaya hota,wo to Ganguly tha jisne us se wicketkeeping karva karva ke usko bachaye rakha.Ganguly supported him,and many other players a lot during his tenure as captain....and not once did he promoted any player player from his homestate,...like some "....kars" and eemlipani's!

Please write constructive comments, rosogoolla , bengalis , etc.....what is this. and also this rosogoolla had levelled the series against australlians in australlia. I think ur ego has been eroded by a bengali therefore we are seeing thinking against bengalis in your comment. Sorry freind not a right place for u here.

I'm curious why you havent said this against your fellow rosogollas write comments like these. Is your moral science lesson only applicable when someone says something against your own community ? Shameless people. Everyone you people cant look beyond your own state,but you get it back when you abuse people from other states. After all Calcutta is a hell hole and Bengal is one of the poorest states in India. So beware when you say something against someone. I can say things about your clan which will make you feel ashamed about yourself for the rest of your life.

Dravid has not done anything meaningful for last one year, except for a century against Bangla (a really weak opposition). He had a free ride as the captain in SA and England. I think he should be shown the door. Even Mark Waugh was dropped when he did not perform. Time has come for Dravid to go.

If this continues, he will be dropped very soon. He is no exception from Saurav. Saurav had to stay out for almost 2 years.But, if Dravid goes out for a longer period, then he has very slim chance of making it back to the team.

I wish Vengsarkar will hang around for some more time. Only he can take tough decisions. He should tell Dravid - dude if u volunteer to open in Australia, u stay. Or else u leave! Call me by tomorrow to let me know ur decision. Only this kind of tough talk will work. No beating around the bush now!

Yeah, He defenitely will. He is all for the Youngsters. As long as he is around, all the seniors(incl Sachin) have to watch out.

Did you pray for Dravid's failure? Why'd you bring god into this? I have never seen someone so happy when his own countryman, failed.

Wait for a few weeks ..performance against a ranji grade attack does not show much.

Fikar naa karo boss, ab Dravid kaa ant nikat hai. Dravid is in the last leg of his cricketing life. He should just retire gracefully and spare the pain to the selectors of dropping him.
Right now Dravid is a burden on the Indian cricket team. Why didn't they rest him, instead of Sachin? Dravid is just getting a free ride in the team at the expense of Yuvraj.
Keeping Yuvraj out of the two previous tests was certainly foolishness. A talent wont become a star until that talent explodes on the ground. Come on Indian team..This series is certainly yours. It is the India vs Australia series that I am looking forward to! We need all the guns to fire in Australia!! Bowling department may need some repair work. RP Singh and Sreesanth should be brought back I think.

Right now Yuvraj should be in the team and Dravid should be out! But Dravid is getting a free ride in the team at the expense of Yuvraj because of good performances in distant past!
RE:Indian team success
by bluebie on Dec 08, 2007 10:40 PM
next you will say Jaffer should be dropped as his double century was one test ago...for fickle minds like no south, distant past = one or two tests...
RE:RE:Indian team success
by no south on Dec 08, 2007 10:44 PM
Three tests against SA (2006) and three tests against England (2007). And no meaningful contribution agains PAK. How long a rope does Dravid want? Why is he blocking the place for Yuvraj?
It is often said that Ganguly made centuries against weak teams and weak bowling attacks etc. Now all of those who know more than me, how do you explain the other players not making centuries in those same matches ? Or is it that greater players like Dravid and Sachin they have refused to score against poor opposition ?
Can we all keep aside our different cultures and languages????? After all every single one of us wants to see the Indian cricket team do well!!!! Fans....please keep your emotions in check and have consideration for a different point of view! CHAK DE.....INDIA!!!!!
I feel somebody somewhere has been terribly unfair and biased against Yuvi.By the same count I hope they do not gun for Karthik again.Remeber these two guys will do India proud in future too.
RE:Be fair to Yuvraj
by no south on Dec 08, 2007 10:28 PM
It is quite clear. Dravid should be kicked out. But the lungi lobby will not let that happen. I think they will get Vengsarkar kicked out of the selection panel before he kicks Dravid out of the test team. I think Lungis want Deve Gowda to be the chief selector.
We can have a team with dravid opening the batting bcos in every match he is coming in early five overs. so its better we ask rahul to bat open and find a place for yuvi in middle order. Friends what do u sayyyyyyyyyyyyy??????????
RE:Sure Dravid Can open
by no south on Dec 08, 2007 10:29 PM
If Dravid wants to be in the team he must open. Otherwise he is free to walk out of the Indian team.

Yes I agree. If Dravid agrees to open he can hang around. Otherwise anyone who volunteers to open (Karthik, Gambhir, Chopra) should come in place of Dravid. But Dravid blocking the place of Yuvraj is supreme injustice and will not be tolerated by ppl anymore.

by Brett on Dec 08, 2007 10:10 PM
Being a test match opener is tougher than being the captain of the team ( at least thats what I think) no one wants the responsibility!! but yuvi deserves a place in the middle order...how its up to ppl who pick the players= morons!
