RE:RE:RE:Blaming Dravid
by Upadrasta PardhaSaradhi on Apr 21, 2007 06:21 PM

These senior players dont respect Dravid because he is a perfecionist and always pushes others to be the same. So called seniors are always in a comfort zone and dont want to come out of that Comfort Zone. If somebody like Greg or dravid or previous Coach John Wright wanted to change them and challenge their status-co, their ego gets hurt and thats why they dont like dravid.

Dravid is the most talented, humble and a storng team man We have even seen in the last 10 years. He took the pain of keeping wickets also when Saurav and John wright asked him to do because he thoguht thats good for Indian Team. Remmebr howmany times, he stood like a wall between indian defeat. The best way to llok at his compare the 4th innings scores and averages of Dravid, Lakshman, Sachin and Saurav in the test matches. Dravid has the highest 4th innings average of 35 among 4 of them, lakshman comes next, Sachin next and Saurav last. The greatness of a players is evidnt when he scores an match saving innings or atleast prevent humiliating defeats and Dravid is one of them. so called Greats like Sachin, saurav or even Sunil gavaskar doesnt have a good 4th innings score because they never played well under pressue and saved the team from the defeat.If a team collpase on a 5th day 4th innins sachin/Saurav will be the first wicket to go with Dravid at the wicket struggling to build an innings. Howmany times we have seen this? Be frank.
