In multan when sachin came close to 200 ,he started playing slow by wasting balls but dravid went for shot in 270 and got out. Sachin had many great knocks but also had tendency to play for records often. <br /><br />2) Btting under-pressure. Sachin is mostly a great first innings player. In 2nd innings in odis he was good in chasing small totals like 200-220 but rarely changed big targets. He felt pressure while batting then. Dravid did chase god number of huge totals-270,280,even 300 once. Even though sachin was more attacking bat ,he struggled to keep run-rate high while chasing but dravid did it easily. amazing isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277129531446299355.post-17027287205957262312013-05-07T17:15:46.416+05:302013-05-07T17:15:46.416+05:30Yes, we share similar sentiments when it comes to ...Yes, we share similar sentiments when it comes to Dravid.

If he were to read this, it would really please him to know that he has touched the lives of so many. This post also speaks about your dedication and passion for the game and the man himself. I can imagine how difficult it must have been to accept the fact that he wouldn't be a regular face on the cricket scene. When Saurav Ganguly retired, I was devastated too, so can completely understand your feelings.

I am so glad you thought my post was worth an hour of your valuable time. :)<br /><br />I deliberately avoided IPL, because Dravid was really insulted and humiliated when he was replaced as the captain. If I start talking about it then I will only find abuses to throw at Mallya and co. :D I am just glad Dravid will play in this years IPL one final time, I will at least get to see him bat a few times and he will captain RR as well. Only reason for me to watch the IPL. :)<br /><br />You have described Dravid so brilliantly, much better than I could have in my entire post. :) Thank you for your beautiful comment.

Beautiful...A very fitting tribute to a real genius. Beautifully written. I can clearly see your love for him and his cricket. I am another hard core Rahul Dravid fan and I just love everything about his cricket. I remember when I used to play cricket in college, I used to watch every move of his and will try to bat like him. I personally think he is the single biggest reason for India's Test success over the last 5-10 years. And though I like Sachin, I have always had the question in my mind that if Dravid had not batted before him in Test matches, would Sachin have scored the amount of runs he has. Anyways, that is not the point here. But truly, a great sportsman and a fitting tribute. Very well written. :)Rajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01138309630324239186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-277129531446299355.post-86561067679264599022012-03-12T12:23:08.234+05:302012-03-12T12:23:08.234+05:30Thank you Sonia.
