I agree with Dravid and i am happy that India has got a captain at last who knows what he speaks.Moreover he knows where to be silent. I think any team could have forced a result in newzland's shoes but all credit goes to Laxman and newcomer chopra. Any way we will see kiwis in onday's never mind
Shut up Dravid. Just thank Laxman and Chopra. They saved you from disgrace and shame. You do not deserve to be captain. You were reponsible for the follow on. Because of your negative approach India failed to score 431. Had you been a good captain NZ would not have scored 630 in the 1st place. Mr. Dravid you may be a good batsman and a good human being but a shrewd captain you certainly are not. If you were not the captain you would have easily scored another double century on that kind of pitch. Being a captain was on your mind while you were batting and it botched your concentration. So just admit it and stop blaming Mr.Fleming for the draw.
one thing that clearly emerges out is our spinners do not have enough guile or fire power and variety to bowl on evenly bouncing tracks hence their poor record on foreign tours and also at mohali.The seamers need to make the batsmen play the ball especially balaji. our batsmen are good but require to seriously look into a great defeciency i.e. not able to score at a reasonably fast rate.Look at how the Australian batsmen score at a fast pace which takes fight into opponents camp and is very helpful in getting results and in keeping the spectators entertained. Are spinners are a overrated lot needing crumbling wickets with uneven bounce and are batsmen too require to brush them seleves up. Cricket is the media and public mover. It is time we go into healthy analysis of our plus and minus points.
what does he think he is. I am even feel disgusted that he lead us in this Test match. I dont know what is he saying. first of all because of his foolish decisiotns and bowling changes, india was not able to bowl out the NZ team in 2.5 days. then under his LEADERSHIP India scores 188 runs in a single day. A very good test batsman but a useless captain. Also would like to see how he fares in Australia where he terribly failed in 1999-2000.
I would agree with Dravid. Its true that last 5 sessions of the test, it was a condusive pitch to bowl on , which Newzees were lucky to be with.
But that doesnt mean our batsman except Akash and VVS couldnt batout well.
Wont like to be a critic for the slow run-rate. but Would have been better to be on offensive to some-extend instead of succumb to kiwi trap.
To be honest, our bowling is not to international standard also. feel very sad. That also means, we cant put balaji as a scape-goat and axe him.He needs atleast 2 more matches to prove in a competitive pitch.
