Re: India Tour of England 2011
Yet another brillant, classic and fighting 100 by the wall Dravid :)
There seems to Be a Bit of Anger in him but then who can Blame him with others around falling like 9 pins throughout the Series
Re: India Tour of England 2011
*93.2
Bresnan to Dravid, 1 run, 132.9 kph, It's taken 17 days and seven innings but finally India have reached 300. Rightly it's Dravid who gets them to that dubious landmark with a firm cut to deep point *
Re: India Tour of England 2011
**India 300 all out The crowd rises to Rahul Dravid, who carries his bat for 146. Incredible innings from a wonderful player. Shame about his team-mates
93.6
Bresnan to Sreesanth, OUT, 131.3 kph, that's it. Sreesanth drives this straight to short cover
S Sreesanth c Morgan b Bresnan 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00 **
What a fight from Dravid
Dravid almost always delivers when India need him the most. Bravo. Can't say the same for Tendulkar.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
And looks like Dravid can keep his pads on
England have enforced the follow on.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Excellent fielding by England. The Bell catch at short leg and Anderson catch at slips were excellent. Well Done Dravid. Nice support Mishra. Not bad RIP Singh

Re: India Tour of England 2011
Sehwag reaches non-striker's end for 1st time in this series
Re: India Tour of England 2011
3rd ump gives Dravid out - reverses decision - I could not see a nick even in slow motion.
2nd time 3rd ump has ruled against India in close decisions. the trend continues - this has been par for the course. each time India stages a comeback, decision goes against India. This decision was incorrect.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
In the last3 innings, Rahul Dravid remains unbeaten - dismissed by shoe lace, not out 146, dismissed by 3rd ump.
Ravi Sastri and Gavaskar said it best - there is no evidence ball has hit the bat - on what grounds has the 3rd ump given him out.
This was a sinking feeling - I was sure 3rd ump could not overturn umpires decision here. Losing confidence in the fairness.

Is this fing third umpire drinking during the day time? you can not take decisions on body language. All he have to do is to use the advanced technology.
Ravi was hilarious when Sachin's stump dismissal was referred to third umpire...

Now u know how Pakistani's felt when the 2 Daryl's were officiating
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Rahul Dravid carried bat today after his 146 not out against England. Interesting to know that the last batsman who carried bat in Test Cricket was Imran Farhat; 117* against New Zealand in Napier (2009).
Re: India Tour of England 2011
“They should have sent Raina as the nightwatchman in order to protect Mishra,” snipes Devang. 
Re: India Tour of England 2011
from Cricinfo:
Just showing replays of that first ball, Tendulkar's back foot was momentarily in the air when Prior took the bails off. So that might well have been out.
I am sure Shastri and gavaskar must have kept quiet this time.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
What a great knock by dravid and keeps the pads . Great man ready to serve his country any time
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Badly needed the laugh - who is Devang?
Re: India Tour of England 2011
:)
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Dravid is the man Respect for him 
Tendulkar may be a great batsman but he never took responsibility of coming top of the order and save the match for the team
