Dravid is already not in the best of touches and so I wouldn't want to tinker with his batting position given he doesn't like opening. Chopra is a natural opener and the safest bet. He is also from Delhi and so would be fine batting with Sehwag at the top.
I agree, but callingin a ringer from outside the squad when Badri is already there can't be good for the bloke's confidence?
It would be no loling matter tbh because if another wicket falls today then Aussies would be in big trouble, so therefore there is a serious need of a big partnership here between these two as the rest of the batting is pretty inexperienced, so these two would have to bat well.
I guess that means every batsman looks destined for a 100 until he gets out.
I don't consider someone set for a hundred if they're getting beaten multiple times. Being set for a hundred means that you don't even look like getting out, and how can that happen if you're getting beaten regularly?
I am a Badri supporter too. However, it won't do his confidence bad despite him being the squad as it is an opener who is wanted atm. There is a big difference between openers and middle order bats in tests.
Yup, when you are given out lbw by Bowden so close to a century then you surely aren't destined for a century that day...Which means he didn't look destined for a 100
This distinction I do understand, however with his history of being overlooked I'm not too sure how he'd take it if the chance was snatched from his grasp like that. Hoping he's above that though.
Any umpire would have given that. It was plumb.Yup, when you are given out lbw by Bowden so close to a century then you surely aren't destined for a century that day...
What he say? I've got a niece wathing Harry freaking Potter on the cable TV right now
To be fair, he had the chance to really press his case in the lead-up game to the tests and played dreadfully in both innings
True enough, but he's got a mountain of runs for TN which he can quite rightfully stake his claim for an opportunity on.
It was regarding the Bee attack earlier in the day and how everyone went down on the ground, and said some funny stuff about both Billy Bowden and Aleem Dar.What he say? I've got a niece wathing Harry freaking Potter on the cable TV right now
Sehwag was all over him a couple of overs ago. However he seems to have settled down a bit since then.
****ing hell, have you learnt nothing from SS's posts?
