Duffer is an Indian in Australia and background has nothing to do with his arguement. I think he's just a bit annoyed by the fact that you tend to write off the champion Indian players if they are performing averagely. Dravid, being a player of such high stature deserves a lot more respect from cricketing fans and journalists and we need to cut him some slack. I believe that it's important to let Dravid go out on his own terms.i don't know what your background is but i don't think a reasonable person would be able
conclude from "not supporting Dravid for a while now" implies that I hate Dravid .... or may be you have developed a technology that can decipher what the other guy is thinking sitting far away from you on the internet
I can't speak for anyone else but at least, I don't hate Dravid like you are claiming .... and as I said this is getting hilarious and such comments shows lack of depth on your part
i don't need to understand what natural process of aging does in sports because a professional does not push himself when he is not at his best either physically or mentally .... you won't find 60 years old running 100 mts in Olympics, why? of that answer, you will need to understand what professionalism implies and when you do, you would probably realize how redundant your 'natural process of aging' comment is

Excellent tactic by Dhoni. Dried up the runs, lulled Katto to a deadly trap.

Yeah something like this, and also the fact that a bloke who I would wager hasn't achieved half as much as Dravid has in whatever field he's chosen, deciding to criticise him for his lack of professionalism is hilairty of the highest order.

As I mentioned in the other thread, the only way to stop the slow over rates is to punish in runs not match fees.

The tactics were reasonable in a general sense, but I do think it's pretty depressing from an Indian standpoint that they're approaching this game from a "saving it" standpoint already. While obviously winning the series is important, surely it's better to continue to play attacking cricket and try and win the series comprehensively than force a draw for a 1-0 win, at least at this point where the game is there to win.
Anyway, Katich is out now so we'll see if they change things up.

Poor was probably too strong a word, but it was certainly marginal. I can understand it being given, but I thought it was probably going down leg. Still, hardly matters now
