What makes you draw that conclusion? Although they batted brilliantly, they only scored at about 50 runs per hundred balls - hardly what I'd call 'little respect'.......in fact I thought Dravid in particular was very watchful, considering he was batting on such a great wicket.Choora said:GREAT fight back by the Indian team, Laxman and Dravid showed their class and treted Aussie bowlers with little respect.
Jamaica played in France 98. There's a difference.jamesryfler said:I watched them play last year against Jamaica in England and draw 0-0. Not bad given the Jamaicans played in France 98'.

It's entirely related to the predictions league. Ask Vishureddy..plotoder said:You!! :!(
*Hope Dravid outscores Ponting*
Cant wait to see Ponting shake Dravids hand once he goes past 242
PS: Hello everybody!
On the basis of Australia having a bad day on a flat track against Dravid (who is all class) and VVS "Australia, who's your daddy" Laxman? I'll need a bit more evidence to be convinced that you'll have the Ashes back anytime soon, Neil.Neil Pickup said:
I thought Australia were supposed to have strength in depth? This era's going to be over sooner than some people would like us to believe.

I agree with benny here......India's strengh was always going to be the batting, and Aus are most depleted in the bowling - India should score heavily on this track!!Neil Pickup said:[I thought Australia were supposed to have strength in depth?

Fact. :PPY said:Excuses excuses :saint:
Harsh when its going to be your first double hundred, not when you already have couple under your belt.PY said:Excuses excuses :saint:
How harsh is it to be stuck on 199* overnight :O, he's going to have a belter of a night's sleep.
Now, Now.. Had Ponting been dismissed earlier in the drop catch Australia might have been well below 300?after all, had Ponting held the chance from Laxman, India may have been dismissed for around 400.
A double ton is a double ton, whether you have 0, 2 or 10, it's still a monumental effort which would be well annoying if you holed out on 199*.plotoder said:Harsh when its going to be your first double hundred, not when you already have couple under your belt.
With pleasure. Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond my control I didn't see him bat, and didn't see this awful shot. It would be highly inappropriate for me to comment beyond asking what exactly did he do?bennyr said:And I also think it needs to be said that AA deserves a good flogging. That shot was awful.

Just to add, Dravid was asked the same question by Harsha and he replied saying that it didnt really worry him and all that he wanted was a good hot shower and some sleep. 8DPY said:A double ton is a double ton, whether you have 0, 2 or 10, it's still a monumental effort which would be well annoying if you holed out on 199*.
