Some facts ....
by Dire Straits on Apr 06, 2013 11:25 AM  | Hide replies

Australia and South Africa were the 2 strongest teams of Dravid's time ...


vs Aus - 38.67

vs S.A. - 33.83



Also, Australia and South Africa were the 2 toughest places to bat for players from the sub-continent ....


in Aus - 41.64

in S.A. - 29.71




Apart from that, let's see how well he did in Sri Lanka ....


in S.L. - 33.10



P.S. Before abusing me, remember that those are facts derived straight from Cricinfo. Those are not my opinions but rather cold hard facts.

By making merry against New Zealand, England, Pakistan, West Indies. He made merry against Pakistan after Akram and Waqar retired, and against West Indies after Walsh and Ambrose retired. New Zealand and England have never had any all time great bowler.

The figures are from Cricinfo and should be true. So no abusing you.

Just that even if we say that he got runs in more benovalent pitches, even others got the same opportunity to score and did not. Also he has rescued India countless number of times in difficult situations. Also No. 3 is an imp slot wherein you need to tame the hard ball so that the No 4's and 5's have it easier.

No point in calling me a loser. I never gave any opinions, just pointed out some facts. If you can't digest them, it's your problem.

No mam, No ..0000000,
A VERY BIG BIG NOOOOOOO.
Just see the stance of Pujara,(if you hav the tech knowledge- i cant underestimate you), his backfoot and the body movements at the time of delivery of ball.
A lot lot of difference between these two..Moreover, Pujara has done on Indian so called dead pitches, on which a player from Mohalla cricket team can do better against the club class of Austrialia team.
Hence, its tooo early to comment on pujara. The real test will be against full strength on foreign soil.
Hav a nice day !!!!!!!!!

Initially Dravid had also some problems with his batting / shots etc but over a period he rectified it , so Pujara might also follow the same . Why not ?? Now he's like raw talent & may shape properly after passing of sometime .
No one is perfect by birth & needs to be groomed .

Leaders (players) are born ...not made....
This is not me saying...
it's universal truth.
After reaching at this stage and level of cricket, No one can improve his guts...Take the case of legend Sachin..who is stll unable to face incoming ball at middle stump, with confidence....just look at him..whenever possible...
Thanks for support to Pujara..aft all,he is also a nice player..

Wrong! The only thing that it proves is that no one envies him. In other words fans of other cricketers don't envy him. This is unlike Dravid fans, who envy Sachin and post negative remarks whenever any article on Sachin comes up.

Yessss you are right.
Rahul's immense talent and silent but solid contribution to the team was overshadowed by Sachin who hails from Mumbai and also overpraised by former cricketers who are more in numbers than Delhi and other southern states.
RAHUL DRAVID is unsung hero of Indian Cricket!!!!!!!

"Immense talent" ...... HaHaHaHa ...... anyone with a brain knows that Dravid was never naturally talented. Even Dravid himself admitted it. His career was built on hard work and determination, two very important qualities.
