Even Dravid in the side, we lost Melborne test which actually we should have won. The fact is that Indian batsmen are hero in own country but sadly a big zero in foreign soil.

The thing which did not done dont tell.If bret lee kretza,tiat bowled and play well in world cup quarter final then australia win quarter final and hope they win world cup 2011.But it did not happen.
Dravid is ZERO in Flmaboyance. He is like Saina Nehwal. Both having NO Colourfull life, No goosip , No candle Light Dinner, No Girl friend/ BoyGriend. Result...... Extremely Low Endorsement Rate, Inspite of 17 years in cricket, 13,000 Runs, his endorsement Rate is Mere 3 Crores per brand. Even Priyanka Chopra charges more than dravid !!!

At least he performs on the field when it matters. According to your logic, "HEROES" are those like GautamGambhir who command impresive fees, but are in the team only because they belong to the same region as our NorthieSupremacist capitano. GG has not scored a test hundred in 2 years and his last hundred came againstBongladesh. Tells me something about your knowledge of cricket by whom you choose as your HERO.

There are parallels in football. MiroslavKlose and LukasPodolski of Germany are flops for their respective clubs. But when they play for Germany, they become massive goalscorers, so much so that they almost won the 2010 WC for Germany. Whereas LionelMessi is a big HERO for his club and charges impressive fees, but is a ZERO for Argentina.I consider Klose and Podolski greater heroes than Messi any day.

Boyfrend.. yes,, I suspect our GayCapitano might have a BoyFrend.. who I suspect is SureshRaina in matter of fact. Which is why he is always in the team.

Dhoni is not agressive captail like Sourav Ganguly. India badly need a captain like Sourav immediately.He may be called back as Patudi was called back as captain against West Indies series way back in 1975.
Its about time Indian cricket management rescue Gambhir and sort out his technique he has been terrible at top of the order ,poking at anything and everything, get him out of there Will Ya!!
I have read many comments here from people who doesn't know about Test match cricket. I have been watching cricket for the last 20 years.. So gar I couldn't find any better batsman than Rahul Dravid to play the supporting role which in turn won many matches for India..whenever Sachin or ganguly or Laxman got the Man of the match award for their batting skills in tests or ODIs, there was one player most often than not to help them build partnerships..his name is Rahul Dravid... he may be dropping catches at this age of 39...So why put him in slips? replace with another guy...So wats the issue?? His batting has been outstanding to say the least (although i admit his batting in melbourne was less impressive but great compared to Gambhir, Kohli,Dhoni,Sehwag, laxman)

drawid is the most negative batsman and now his reflexes to defend are also gone. HE will not touch a ball even if there is a 0.005 % chance of getting out which puts pressure on the other batsmen to compensate for one dead end
Commentary when drawid is batting
Shade outside off stump ...drawid shoulders arms Short outside leg ...drawid wayches it into the keepers gloves Overpitched half volley ...drawid is immaculately forward in defense Short Rank Long Hop....drawid defends off the back foot No ball ! ...drawid plays it back to the bowler Free Hit after no ball .. drawid plays it to to forward short leg
His three centuries in England caused our 4- 0 defeat

Your 0.005% comment is getting old and older. Come up with some new criticism at least. I'll only say one thing- love them or hate them, the oldies of our team are all true greats and none is greater than the other, because each of them has brought some aspect that led to India's glory in years past. And that includes SauravGanguly as well, though he is not part of the team any more.

His 3 centuries caused our defeat?? What about the fact that the so called YoungGuns were all flopping in Eng and here in Aus. They were the first in the procession back to the pavilion. Starting with our dearCapitano, who cannot think anything wrong of any of his YoungNorthieGuns. SureshRaina, ViratKohli, GautamGambhir and MSDhoni are the biggest liabilities in our batting order who only perform on flatIndianTracks. Put them on a fast track and they run back to the pavilion.
Re: Re: Re: For Dravid haters...
by India Shining on Dec 31, 2011 12:07 PM
Naturally they can afford to run back. They have the full support of their Capitano after all. And trust me.. these are the folks who want to see test cricket dead, because they cannot perform in it.

First off all PRODO does not have any brains at all. There is no meaning replying his comments. He is use less in this world.
