It's generally thought that he falls away to the off side and can hence be an lbw candidate. I've only noticed him doing it a couple of times but it definitely does happen at times. Every batsman has a weakness though and I'm sure he's working on it. I agree with you that his technique looks very good, that aside. Good prospect.
lol, I should have known u wud spring to Bracken's defence. Tbh, I rate him just as highly as u do as an ODI bowler. But juz saying that POTENTIALLY that trio hold more promise as wicket takers... That's all. I have always rated Bracken, tbh. And I think his bowling in that crazy game at Jo'burg is one of the finest ever bowling performances seen in ODI cricket.
I'll try, I read it my newspaper today.
Haha, not bad.I doubt it, for a start Gilchrist will be 49 in 2020!
Dravid looked like a man who has lost everthing....very sad
In Baroda they said the crowd was saying "Ganpathi Bappa Maurya" which was misunderstood. That must be what they are refering to.
I will tell you this, mate. There are a couple of rather incharitable articles about Australia and racism in the Indian press as well. And the Indian press have all said that there has not been as much racist taunts as is being made out and that whatever the Baroda authorities have said is, in fact, true. The only confirmed thing is that some people were actually evicted from the Wankhede for racist taunts yesterday. Other than that, it is all a lot of "you said, he said" at the moment. My request to both sides would be to NOT believe what the respective countries' newspapers have to say on the matter, not a lot of it is likely to be true, either way.
Out for ~ 2 weeks it says.
In other news, zero is now living in fear of imminent harm.Out for ~ 2 weeks it says.
It also says that will harm his chance of a test call up
Karma. I would say. This is what you get for backing Greg Chappel. Dravid had an opportunity to speak up against Chappell, he didn't and look where he is now. Chappel did more harm to Indian Cricket than anyone in last 60 years, it was easy to get out of Match Fixing debacle, but this will haunt India for some time, at least till the time Dravid, Ganguly, tendulkar etc retire, and trust me it is going to come out in open.I know. It doesn't look good, does it? I just get the feeling, for whatever reason, that the old coterie of Sourav, Yuvraj, Zaheer, Harbhajan (perhaps) have reunited now and have taken Sachin in along with them as well. And maybe Dhoni. It just seems to me that not a lot of guys have time for Dravid in this team. I am not sure who was in the wrong here. Maybe it was some mistake on the part of Dravid, or maybe it is just a bit of attitude on the part of the others, maybe a bit of payback for being Chappell's yes man to Dravid. But things are not looking good for him.
Such a shame that he has to be in bad form at such a time too. Not many are gonna support him now, even from the public, when his adversaries (as it seems to me) within the side are all doing so well now. I fear the worst for Dravid.
Was reading something on Cricinfo and stumbled across this report from May 2007. Seems to make a lot more sense now.
