Ganguly
is known for pissing in when he is out of the tent! Kallis has the kind
of bowling to back the team even when there are poor scores by batsmen.
Let's see now. Australia was dismissed for 47 in SA. That gave a
platform for SA to win the test. Indian bowlers have been ineffective
for quite some time, with rare glimpses of brilliance. That's why we
lose when our batsmen fail.
The
big 3 headed mainly by Dravid have been carrying the show on their
capable shoulders. India had been able to bat the opposition out of the
game. So when we have a rare failure of all three, like in Australia,
the Indian team starts to look very ordinary. And in England, Dravid
stood tall. A little support from Tendulkar or Lax would have seen India
put up a better show. Okay, here's another tidbit. when was Kallis ever
asked to keep wickets, change his place in the order and generally get
kicked around like Dravid has been. Or for that matter, has Tendya ever
succeeded when he came down the order in ODIs? Did he ever come down
the order once he wrested the no. 4 position? Even when Dravid carried
his bat at the Oval and must have been dog tired, did Tendya volunteer
to open? This is what we are doing to the best no. 3 batsman we have
ever had! Given our circumstances,Dravid is any day superior to Kallis
or Ponting!
We
Indians have this knack of pulling down our best. to me Dravid is the
best batsman, in Tests at least, that we have had! And Ganguly has been a
waste of God given talent, who never worked to enhance his strengths or
reduce his weaknesses. Who is he to comment on Dravid anyway?
