India vs Sri Lanka
« on: November 16, 2009, 09:59:59 PM »

At one point India were 4/32 within 10 overs.

Then Dravid steps in and notches up 177*, Dhoni(110) and Yuvraj(68) also chip in with strong scores to produce a healthy total.

Stumps on day one and the score is 6/385.

The anticipation of him emerging from the pavilion, and his walk from the boundary to the centre, is almost surreal. The sound of a passionate Indian crowd all chanting "Sachin, Sachin" as they wait in anticipation, followed by the enormous roar when he emerges onto the field, is electrifying.

I was up at 4am and when the score was 4-32, I was thinking it was a repeat of the India - South Africa match in 2008.

Dravid was awesome today, his innings reminded me of how he batted during his peak (2000-2005). Yuvraj looked soo good before he threw his wicket away. Dhoni added the impetus, like he usually does during ODI innings.

Dravid has changed his approach to batting, hes playing far more shots now which is good, however it is strange how in the past he has batted with india in strong positions and frustrated attacks yet at 4/32 he comes out and plays like this! hats off to him, a man adapting to the modern game!

Hats off to rahul! Top batsman, a real masterclass bearing in mind the position he, yuvraj and dhoni found themselves in.

Mate Dravid was awesome....killer strokes....he was positive; and to play like that when you are 3/42!!! Damn!

Dhoni's shots never ceases to amaze me what a class act he is! The way he bats is just awesome.

It was awesome to watch Dravid's elegance and then on the other end watch Dhoni murder the ball.

I wouldn't use Class to describe Dhoni's batting.. Its so much more raw power..

Great innings by Dravid.. He on the other hand is nothing but class..

I meant HE is a class act not his batting style. I described his batting style as murder! Lol its all he does murders the ball.


Damnnnnnn Dravid is out on 177 not adding to his score.....I hate when that happens.
