Rahul Dravid has won India many matches for India both as a captain and batsmen. But still do you think he sometimes struggle by wasting too many balls.

  1. yup ! he is the best one captain in odis after Ricky .. and he is the best batsman in form with ponting and hussay..
  2. Surely He is the best batsman in the world but as a captain he is good but not the best but he can become the best
  3. Yes u urself said that he won many many matches 4 india.its a fact that in ODIs hes a slow starter but at the end of most of his innings his strike rate would have risen to 80 and above.he paces his innings well.thats the greatness of the man.
  4. Yes best captain with agressive frame of mind
  5. http://www.hinduonnet.com/tss/tss2719/st...
  6. He is in the best nine captains in the world. He is a very good batsman.
  7. He is currently one of the three best batsmen in the world along with Ponting and Kallis. All three with career batting averages above 55. He is struggling as a captain, finding it difficult to win test series away from home and throwing away an easy victory against England when he opted to field in the third test. No Indian cricket captain in history has been stupid enough to field first on a spinning pitch.
  8. toooo premature to ask. we will know in an years time but so far he has made all the right moves
  9. he is a great batsman and a very positve captain. He is goos for India. Quite unlike Saurav.
    I hope the best for him
  10. yeah he is one of the greatest ever to play
  11. Yes Rahul Dravid is one of the best captain and batsmen in the world.
  12. Yeah Rahul Dravid is a good captain. But its too early to say if he's the best in the world or not. He hasn't yet played that many tests or ODIs as captain to rate him number one in the world.
  13. wel lets begin with the qualities of a captains I.e. wat we expect from a caption : -should be cool , supportive and have the courage to take some tough decisions also should set example to his team with his actions.
    Is he cool = no questions to this definately yes.
    supportive = he always supports his team mates.
    have the courage = wel again the answer is yes , took some real tough decisions while captaincy.
    setting an example = wel wat should I say here u may not be knowing this but let me tell you one thing that whenever india struggled for an opener in tests none of the captains may be ganguly sachin or azhar ever thought to open in test but this guy really did this and opened the innings in pakistan & also opened in onedayers against pak in DLF cup.

    as a batsman : -
    all that matters is wat ur team requires , not playing senselessly like afridi or other hitters. If his batting proves fruitfull for india, it hardly matters how he bats ,slowly or hits every ball to fence.
  14. Not just R.Dravid the whole team did so I don't think just him the whole team :)()(
  15. Aksar Rahul Dravid
  16. obviously. Rahul is definitely an excellent captain. There is no doubt about it. Though I have to agree that he is a slow player, he is a fantastic player who knows how to position his players in a difficult situtation when the team is going to loose.

    respectfully,

  17. Dravid is not one of the best captains but he is the Best Captain and Batsman in the world.
    Yea sometimes he struggles,but no one is Perfect.
  18. nop he is only a good captain in india not in whole world
  19. yes. I would not say it is ponting. he was having the best team when they won the world cup
  20. Hello Niks here,
    I just want to say u that they are playing their game. if India wining the game this the whole team effort which is lead by the captain. if u think he is wasting too many balls it is true but can see this that when ever he struggle for the team and play patiently ( u called it wasting of balls ) when India is in trouble India got good score in the end and many time India face the win. so I don't think he is wasting the balls but he is playing for his team.
    thanks
