dravid is more defensive
by sreenivasan sreedharannair on Feb 21, 2014 01:12 AM

Well, Rahul dravid was a pillar for india but he also got a defensive mindset and thats why he can easily defend dhoni and say things like we need to give more time to ashwin when ashwin has been an utter failure in all overseas tours till now. a country of one billion with lots of talent loosing to small teams from tiny places is an embarrassment for cricket lovers but not for this captain and experts like dravid. Looking at the crucial tours india had, it was very easy to see that zaheer is tiring - need a replacement, ashwin is not at all suitable for overseas tour - need a replacement, need to find a new pacer or give opportunities for guys like umesh yadav in tests, rohit sharma lack the temperament for test - need replacement, murali vijay is not upto international standards - need a replacement. If these things are sorted out we could be a potent force. Bigger are the problems in oneday squad where dhoni don't even understand the importance of an all-rounder like binny!!

Zaheer khan

taking Zahir to NZ was a desperate move, since there was not adequate bowling stuff available. Now once again doing the same blunder would cost Zaheer his career. Better let him retire peacefully

Dont agree with Dravid on spinners
by kalyan karpurapu on Feb 20, 2014 02:25 PM

I have simple point to make all the sucussfull bowlers outside sub-continent like Swarne/Swann/Ajmal/Muralitharan are genuine spinners of ball but how can you support Ashwin and parttimer (jadeja) to get support from pitch outside sub-continent.

Bring who ever from INDIA first basic requiremetn is he should be GENUINE spinner not trickster(Ashwin) or length partimer(Jadeja)
They might do well in INDIA but no chance outside india.....this is pure commensense

Dravid Right abt Zaheer
by desi twist on Feb 20, 2014 02:04 PM

Very unlikely that he would be able to play 5 matches. Better to impose faith in ishwar, varun and umesh
