He should take a leaf out of Matthew Hayden's book (cookbook?) and take a big stride in on even fairly short deliveries (he is known to pull off both front or back foot). As I often say, you can't cry about the umpire when the batsman plays like that.Poor shot, poor decision, Howell should be sacked and the fears I raised about Jaffer not knowing his stumps have come true once more.
This is the typical,usual,sorry state of India.[forgive me for not using the royal order of adjectives here]
This has happened too often with our country.Once again after they were in an excellent position they are eager to give it all away.
The pitch,I believe is quite flat now.I doubt many Indians will be disappointed if India lose here.
lol at your thinking "India deserve to lose this match really?" what make you think like that.Just becoz we lost 3 quick wickets?Or Dravid decided to bat again to give his bowlers some rest?Seriously mate try to support India not criticise them.
India losing? Some of the Indian fans are just ....
Man, I was stunned at Dravid's negativity. I'm still stunned. What's the use of getting 664 when you're not bold enough to enforce the follow-on sitting on top of a 300+ run lead???
My criticism is NOT[/B because we lost 3 quick wickets. Only because Dravid was so negative. I reserve my right to be critical... and this was a blunder as far as captaincy is concerned.
Dravid was the best-ever vice-captain India ever had,but sadly he could not carry on as a good leader himself.Yes.I had advocated for him as a captain,but this is outrageous.
Another thing hari,I think the bowlers are also very lazy.
They might have wanted rest,but ideally we should have enforced the follow on.
Unbelievable, that Rob Houghton fella on Club Life just then is my old PE teacher.
Really?, what a coincidence!![]()
So why exactly did Dravid not enforce the follow-on?
This is the difference between Ganguly and most of the other Indian captains. He had a spine.
