manollu next 2 yrs ..lo konchem kurorllani groom chesukovali..
we should probably look for opens too shewag ni nammalem ..and gambhir is failing ..saha fits in the WK batsmen.
Sensation(About Bala):He can win in atleast half of the segments in Rayalaseema. Emi matladutunnavo neeku telusa. He can contest any where in coastal and rayalaseema districts.
I personally feel he should contest from Srikakulam dt.

Rahul Dravid seems like he lost his reflexes ...not sure if it is age....but I would like to forget his performance in this tour...it is only a small part of his record.....great player....execellent defensive player....an irony at the end...

Gambhir,Dravid,Lakshman,Tendu,slow gaa Zaheer,Sehwag,Dhoni lu anthaa poyesthe inka manak dhikkevarO




gautam ni drop cheyyali tappadu....also sehwag needs to control the way he plays...yesterday it was as if he was some suicide bomber ...hit or miss was his game...man we r loosing the series 4-0 and yet he doesn't want to change
dikku evaru ante chance isthe evado okadu shine avutharu...rahane, pujara, rohit, rains unnaru...only thing is they r in IPL mode...unless they change to test mode they will not shine

Simba:

Devudu safe aa?




Devudu always in team ya...also pointing is scoring runs again so test run record will be under pressure...everybody failed in australia but no comments against tendu...even those hyper active commentators/columnists don't want to take the NAME (lord voldermort) ....i think dropping lax, dravid is to buy some time for sachin for god's knows what reasons...

No brother...in my opinion...he should not take any indian assignment..English clubs ki coach gaa velladam better...those clubs commitment suits his personality..

I read somewhere in this DB..when he was playing for english county..they offered him car to drive to his hotel...But he rejected that offer and asked each player to pick him one day...so that he can know each one in team better...that much efforts he has put into game..


He do not belong to present league..where pathans..and uthapas are bought for crores of money to play for evening matches(IPLs) ... he is devotee of cricket...

10 yrs ago when i was working in bangalore...Indiranagar..his house was in behind our office..one morning I saw him..

Just came out..opened his gate...took car outside...took his practice bags...closed gate...went into car..and drive...offf...

The way he behaved for that 5 minutes was just amazing..true professionalism..in everything...let it be opening gate...getting into car...and driving off...I like dravid more as a complete perrson..he is very eloquent(ofcourse bangalore st joseph's college material) complete man...

and needless to say about his cricket grace...as Fed/sampras are to tennis Dravid is for cricket

if its true...miss u sir...

Good decision and nothing to regret for anyone. Failure in the last series does not blemish his career at all. India should thank itself for producing such a cricketer.

this is true..

i have never seen Dravid actually moving his rear leg after a defensive shot..he is doing that to cover any other gaps...which is not Dravidish..i never saw him do that previously


he does not have learn the nuances of the game all over again now..if it is not his natural instinct..he can retire gracefully

TOI LO VESAADANTE NIJAMAVVOCHU...

http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tou rnaments/india-in-australia/top-stories/Rahul-Dravid-likely- to-announce-retirement-shortly/articleshow/11652132.cms

ADELAIDE: Rahul Dravid's glorious international career may have come to an end on Friday, with the veteran batsman likely to announce his retirement shortly.

The 39-year-old Dravid, one of the game's greatest batsmen, is believed to have told some of his teammates after another failure against Australia in the final Test that he had decided to hang his boots.

He could not be reached for his comments. Dravid, like most other Indian batsmen, has had a poor run in the current four-Test series which will conclude on Saturday with India likely to suffer another defeat to give Australia a clean sweep.

He made 194 runs at an average of 24.25 in this series. Dravid has already announced his retirement from one-day cricket and Twenty20.

The elegant right hander, nicknamed 'The Wall' for his dour defence, is the second highest run getter in Test history with 13,288 runs, behind only Sachin Tendulkar who has 15,470 runs. He has 36 Test centuries with a highest score of 270 and an average of 52.31.

Dravid has also taken more catches (210) than anyone else in Test history during his 164 Test matches since he made his debut against England at Lord's in 1996. He captained India from December 2005 to August 2007. There is a question mark over another Indian veteran VVS Laxman who too had a miserable run against Australia in the current series. There was no word yet about his future plans.
