Dravid denied himself and forIndia an easy cake walk win by not enforcing the follow on; Stupidity norammly also have limits; but Indian captain''s foolish act is all beyond any one''s logic; he does not deserve to lead India any more.

I feel like, Dravid has taken money from the English team since he knows, it''s the last series for him and he will not get any more chance to make money. So get the maximum out of his carrer. I''m sure there is something cooked up in the background.

Yeah,
I think you should be made to lead the Indian team next. Please for heavens sake could you show that you are a mature human being and not a box of skeleton with all muscles and no brains.

Greg Chappelle needed one pawn to play his game with Indian cricket because he knew as long as Dada was leading India Greg couldnt. So he choose a Vibhisan (old white philosophy of Divide and Rule) and that was a Shikhandi. Yes Rahul dravid is a shikhandi who back stabbed Saurav. How can one fathom to show bravery from a shiknadi. As long as Dravid is captaining India we will facve these kind of situation.

You guys disgust me with comments like this. The same bunch was on the moon in 2004 when Dravid won the Adileide test, in 2002 when he helped save the Oval test, in 2004 when he helped us win our first series ever in Pakistan, in 2006 when we had 16 consecutive wins chasing. You with that same unwashed mouth actually praised the guy that he is special for having a better average abroad than at home.
Chappel brought something different to India. He may have expected too much from the aging legs of the Indian cricketers and should have actually been put in charge of the under 15 and under 19 teams to drive some mental toughness into those kids. Mental toughness is far from what this bunch can be expected to have. And for you guys to be so disgusting and not be celebrating the win shows the INDIAN ETHOS CLEARLY. YOU ARE DISGUSTING.

Dravid is always selfish...he is not fit as a caption of india...because a army chief should fight when war come...rather he should tell that we are tired so we cannot fight now...
( Posted: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 at 22:45 )
Hi Prabha,
Thanks for your note..I feel you should get your facts corrected before you comment on me(Rahul Dravid) ..History and facts shows that I am not not a selfish player unlike sachin and Saurav..I would have defintely enforced england follow on provided I have full support of sachin and saurav ..They get out when india needs them most..They play when thier records needs to be set ..So ive little to trust on them ..Then comes on bowlers , you know Zaheer he is still Dada;s chamacha ..he hasnt learnt any lessons after we kicked him out earlier ...Sreesanth is still naive and brainless kid , RP singh I would rather not comment ...Then left kumble ..he is the only honest and trustful guys in the team and you know he scored huge century in the last game ..So i can understand his pain ...Then tell me what should I would have done if these brits set a target around 250..thats the reason I said its easy to comment sitting at living room .If I had the good support of Selfish sachin and sauarav then 2-0 would have been the writting on the wall ...mail me at rahul.dravid@gmail.com if you need something more....
Sincerely Rahul Dravid

Since Dravid is a very good batsman, he should not have depended on saurav or sachin. He has uthappa with him.
Please answer these facts.
1. what is score of the captain in this tour where the bowling attack is second rated
2. What is his capacity in fielding(dropping crucial catches at the crucial junctures)
3. Taking crazy decision of not forcing follow on and then shift the blame to the state of bowlers.
4. with 400 + in the board, Chandu borde and Dravid decide to hold one end so that the test will end up in draw.
5. Dravid single handedly converted a winning test match to Drawn test match.
6. By seeing all the above reasons, I come to conclusion that we won the series not because of Dravid but it is in spite of Dravid.
7. We were fortunate not to have Greg Chappel. Had he been there, we would have lost the series.

shashi
why there is so much hue and cry going over the margin of victory......for gods sake they are not computers programmed by fans...they are also humans beings ......Atleast for once try to cheer them up....why so much expections from them if we dont fulfill our own expections in life....i am not shoving a moral lecture but have been frustrated by the illogical comments and anguish shown by us on them ...and everytime ..... for me rahul&Co gave us a remarkably good moments to cherish in 20 years and i am greatful to them. As for zaheer..good going...Well in the match u still got as many overs u needed but u were not able to pull teh same performance of the previous test....see...thats what i am trying to tell...You cannot repeat something behavious all the time......
( Posted: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 at 22:19 )
You r right Shashi,instead of rolling the red carpet in their honor we r misinterpreting views; forget all interpretations & cheer whatever we have achieved. However, don’t u feel that our captain had foot over the throat of England; instead of pinning down lion in its own den, he allowed breathing space by not enforcing the follow on. Presently Dravid is busy in improving his rapport with some of his deciduous colleagues & allowed them batting stint; the concern is all about the timid approach, apprehension of loosing & playing negative game. Recall his attitude after the Lords test where he was horrified by the trauma as he was referring about being in jail; it is deplorable & unfortunate otherwise at least he should have contrition. Now he is showing obstinate resistance to his fearful&selfish decision of not bowling second time in succession. He had procrastinated the action of killing so long that he had missed an easy opportunity of beating England 2-0. Having said all this to appease ur anguish over the baleful comments from different corners & to support your sensible thoughts I extend my congratulations to team over an emphatic triumph.

The Fact remains Zahir could not get even a single wicket in the second innings, whereas Sreesanth who had failed all series could bowl with lot of verve and passion and get 3 wickets. Cricket is all about getting wickets and not bowling metronomically without purpose. You media guys are fishing and even creating troubled waters ! You people simply do not know how to enjoy a good thing when it happens once in a blue moon. After all in Test Cricket Dravid''s success rate is hard to match in the entire History of Indian cricket. Applaud that instead of trying to create fissures in the Team.

There is also one more fact to this series.
(Y)our captain has not scored runs against a english attack without flintoff, hoggard, harmison etc.
He is in the team as he is captain otherwise he does not deserve a place in the team

ASHOK
you could remember australia with langer and gilchrist chased 400+ on the last day with just 5 wic in hand...we were not like that,we were in such a comfortable position.1-0 lead,338 lead,and there is no point in avoiding follow on. approximately...assume england gets 450,maximum they can give 1 session for india.....that is 30 overs....or keep 40 overs....i hav a question ...a team which is not confident enough to bat for 40 overs{in a pitch which india got 500 in 1st innings and england got 450 in the second(by our assumption)},is that team elligible to play international cricket??????

As all of us know, it was a 100% lost test match for us and it was a narrow escape. So let us forget about giving away a 90% victory chance in the thrid test by not enforcing the follow-on. Had we lost the first test, we should have played for a win in the third test. So let England also take some pride for drawing thrid test since they were denied of a well deserved victory in the first test.

Probably what Dravid did was correct! Indian team hardly ever gets a chance to enforce follow on!!!! and our bowlers or not used to bowl continuously for 2 innings!!! Ne''ways Dravid is always a non aggressive player who can never take any chance. Look at his batting in second innings.. 12 runs from almost 100 balls (not exact figures) look at the strike rate. he will say wickets falling at other end. so were the batsman also tired???
( Posted: Wednesday, August 15, 2007 at 21:15 )
Shut up man; learn how to appreciate things. Looks like you are an useless person like the many millions in India who know how to criticise only.
Learn how to praise.
And I am sure Dravid is a mature man not to listen to all these bullshit stuff from buffoons

Why on earth did Zaheer say that? that attitude got him out of the team last year....stupse...i thought Zaheer had a sore?hmm...BTW why is Kiron More so eager to give interviews now that some little controversy is on the making? I HATE KIRON MORE....he said he was surprised that India won the series without a coach on tour...he''s an A--

The way dravid chose not to enforce a follow on and then the way he held the bat....12 runs for some 100 odd balls get a life,lil baby...go check his bank accounts,didnt he drop a simple catch too?
dravids needs to be sacked,when a kumble can score a century what is wrong with this eunich to score a few runs??

Don''t make too many stories now. As per the history we have won the third series. So, no need to panic. As we have already won the serious. These discussions should be our learning’s, but we must enjoy our series win first.
