See guys, its kind-of team effort, you can't simply single-out performances. ROI as a team one. Of course Dravid played OK, but look at the number of balls he consumed ! But his stay at the wicket and 'tiring' of the bowlers were necessary for the batsmen who followed to be on top of the bowlers. At the same time the almost brisk scoring of Dhoni and his partnerships with others helped ROI to pile-up to 300 lead; which was vital as well. So guys, try to enjoy the game - stop grumbling like immature idiots and leave the players alone !

There is a difference between ODI, T20 and the longer version, Chandy Teena. On a wicket that is not made for strokeplay and in the longer version of the game, it is necessary to stay at the wicket and let runs come your way when a loose ball is received. Slam bang is ok only for T20 and at some stages of ODIs. Dravid played best in the circumstances. Had he decided to slog, he would have got out and ROI would have collapsed. So please understand the game better. Dravid is the best bet for a war of attrition.Number of balls consumed is only for ODIs and more so for T20.

PONTING MUST BE A WORRIED MAN NOW...WITH DHONI REJOICING A FORM LIKE THIS MAY BE GIVING HIN NIGHTMARES ..GOOSE BUMPS RATHER......

What about pitches in Aus responding to Speed bowling? Why blame ourselves.ROI could won the match not just because of Dhoni, Bowlers contribution is great, part from Dravid with bat.Dhoni is undoubtedly good man to lead, but why people get caried with few performances. Te4st cricket is something different, let Dhoni settle for sometime in ODI, once he takes over as Test Captain, he should never look back.
