After the 99-01 phase, he didn't get too many centuries. Dravid on the other hand always seemed to have wanted more. Somehow, one got celebrated and the other never did.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-17386210341514429782008-09-12T02:01:00.000+05:302008-09-12T02:01:00.000+05:30Good to see you here, signor QGood to see you here, signor QGaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-84667899978908479002008-09-12T01:55:00.000+05:302008-09-12T01:55:00.000+05:30ankit - there was also a toi article that had saur...ankit - there was also a toi article that had saurav's pr firm rambling about his brand value. dismal stuff.<BR/><BR/>sp, vm, ab - the press hooks up with pr firms all the time - the main paper is no diff from the delhi times. <BR/><BR/>Ott - slant indeedGaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-51697846429490918892008-09-12T01:49:00.000+05:302008-09-12T01:49:00.000+05:30Homer - those numbers would be for a resurgent sau...Homer - those numbers would be for a resurgent saurav vs a dravid in decline, right?<BR/><BR/>often felt with saurav, even when on song, he rarely scores big - more a 50s, 60s man, like the Gambhir of old. Or a player content with half measures. Maybe it was all too easy for him. To give him credit, he does what comes naturally to him - and in the last two years there was incredible clarity to his batting. <BR/><BR/>He should've bowled more.Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-9339081070719219242008-09-11T22:22:00.000+05:302008-09-11T22:22:00.000+05:30On India's last tour Down Under, Rahul Dravid scor...On India's last tour Down Under, Rahul Dravid scored 237 runs in the 4 Tests.<BR/><BR/>Saurav Ganguly scored 235.<BR/><BR/>Infer what you want from that, but the numbers put to rest the canard that Rahul Dravid has played the Australians better ..<BR/><BR/>Cheers,Homerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949049044524078820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5134440631193335724.post-31477478000728613682008-09-11T21:39:00.000+05:302008-09-11T21:39:00.000+05:30Yeah, this is ridiculousness at its best.
