Dravid
International Captain
Dravid and Ganguly our doing good to fight it out. Just bat out this session, get 150+..hopefully around 170, and then just go on an all out attack after tea.
About the time out thing, here is what I feel.
Even if the players were not informed, the team should have at least two batsman with their pads on at all times, and this kind of crap shouldn't be taken that Ganguly was putting on his pads all that time because Sachin come out. I'm an Indian supporter, and even I feel Ganguly got away with that one. Be it the umpires fault or not that they didn't tell you about the time, two guys should always have their pads on.
If saf were to appeal for this, I wouldn't have been surprised that they gave it not out, because the umpires are horrible. They already have 20 bad decisions, and if the batsman is timed out, they should give him out, not add another bad decision to their account.
