I am seeing many comments here abusing the Greats of Cricket like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and to some extent Saurav Ganguly, and the basis of these abuses is their performance in this IPL T20.FYI in Cricket there are 3 formats now, Test Cricket(Real Cricket), ODI's and T20, and a Good Player will be good in any format.
Rahul Dravid is possibly one of the best batsman in Test Matches and great batsman in ODI's but he has not performed well in T20 Matches in short he is flop in T20 Matches, but that does not mean u degrade him and abuse him, learn to appreciate talent, Batsman like Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni and Robin Uthappa are nothing in front of him, what are the records of Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni and Robin Uthappa in ODI's forget about Test Matches, Yuvraj Singh is playing Test matches since 6-7 years yet he has not eastablished himself, just bcoz he flirts with Bollywood Actresses and is a superstar, ur comparing a batsman like Yuvraj Singh with a Great like Sachin Tendulkar, Wat a Joke.Who is this Robin Uthappa Waste of a Batsman, he has not even Scored a Hundred in International Cricket, and some jerks are suggesting him to make Captain of Banglore Team, Wat a Joke.
The Problem is U dont know to Appreciate new talent also, bcoz if u appreciate new talent u should be appreciating batsman like Gautham gambhir, Shikhar Dhawan and Abhishek Nayar, these are the real talented youngster's in India and not some nautankibaaz like Yuvraj Singh or Robin Uthappa.

1. Learn good English. What is "Wat a Joke"? 2. Practise what you preach. If you want others to appreciate talent, you also learn to appreciate the talents of Uthappa and Yuvraj. 3. By your own admission, players like Dravid and Tendulkar are class batsmen who play tests and ODIs well. Then what are they doing in T20 tamasha. Remember the saying that you have to bark when you play the part of a dog in a drama.

As per English Bald Head this is not an Oxford forum, so dont enter that zone, as per ur so-called-suggestions, u said learn to appreciate talent of Yuvraj and Uthappa, first i am asking u what is their talent, kindly tell me how many hundred's yuvraj singh has scored in Test Matches, what is his average, how many Test Matches he has won for India in India and Overseas.Now coming to Uthappa tell me what is his highest Score in ODI's, if ur Sweating for that tell me his highest score in T20 matches, and if u dont have answer's for this, then ur arguing for arguement sake.
Now coming to ur 3rd World class suggestion, What are Sachin, Rahul and Saurav doing in T20, the counter question would be that if u feel certain player's must play certain format, then Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni and Robin Uthappa must never ever play Test Matches and ODI's in their life, bcoz they are good at T20 and not good enough for Test matches and ODI's.
As per the saying ,Remember that every Dog feels that the other Dog is barking.

which good knocks Dravid has played??? 38 runs in 30 balls is nothing in T20 .. MSD scored 65 runs in 30 balls other day... Not only Dravid is useless is in this format, he is making it worse by being a poor captain..that's why Bangalore is at the bottom of the points table..
