Out of my curiosity and interest in cricket and statistics, i was wondering how much time would it take for the Wall (Mr. 10,000 Dravid, RD) to make a triple century. Here are some interesting projections :
Avg. Strike rate of RD in Tests = 42.01 Projected time for 300 for RD = 714 balls = 119 overs of only Dravid batting Considering RD comes on early in the innings and rotates strikes evenly,it would take a single indian innings to complete atleast 2* 119 = 238 overs. Now, with an avg of 85 overs bowled/day, it means an indian innings with a Dravid 300 will take precisely 2.8 days, that means if india bats first, the first innings of the match will complete at the end of the 3rd day !
Another projection,
Avg. time indian bowlers take to bowl out a side in tests = 1.8 days
Taking the probability of the above two cases, the chances of india winning a test match with dravid scoring a 300 = 0.01 %
Also considering the current form of RD, it may take him way longer to score 300 and the chances for india winning that test drops way further down.

dude, why are you bent upon RD making 300...he has played well in many occasions and the team has won! I guess winning's more important than getting a 300...Each player in the team has his own role to play and that's what everybody is doing...and you need to learn to appreciate every player for his talent. RD's form is really bad at the moment...maybe its just a phase, maybe not...anyway, its high time younger players be given more opportunities in tests to learn from the experienced players. But not for people like the his highness 'sher' who doesnt want to use his talent in the right way...

U now I was not trying to fool u and many girls like him a so as usual i said to try to u also and if u felt bad Iam sorry for that
I'm glad atleast Zaheer accepts the fact that he is not fully fit to play international cricket.
On the other hand there have been a lot of discussion on the forum about Shewag and how he is returning to form and how he should be made the captian... I donno what problem does everyone has with MSD.
Shewag has once in a year form. abhi khela hai. ab dekho aage kya karta hai? I really hope this is not as it usually happens and this form of his is here to stay because if Shewag is in this flow than nothing can stop him. But he and Mahi are both imp for Indian cricket. People accept it or not Dhoni has the leadership qualities and if supported well can be one of the best captains of India.
As for Dada, he is great ofcourse and he started the legacy of being a daredevil captain. But he does not have the age on his side and today the ODI games need that agility and flexibility. So i wish he really gracefully exits this format of the game
