Ind-Aus Series:Whose fault is it,Selection committee or Dravid?

Question

To post such a painful opening in both the innings.Is it fair to the spectators?

Do they have any team meeting.This is where a coach is useful with proper strategy.

Sehwag should have been tested in Ind-Pak series itself.He was not played in the practice match too.

When you keep probing,it will ultimately end in our players lethargy in the field and running between the wickets.

I am an admirer of Dravid too.But just think of those spectators who had gathered expecting a keen match.Why they don't even attempt singles to keep moving.

There are many good answers making it difficult for me.

Answer 1

Why are people always blaming my darling Dravid, come on guys, it was his first international game as an opener after many months and this was in Australia, which made things even more difficult for him, It is definitely the committee's fault as you must play a specialist in that position and as every one knows RAHUL DRAVID IS THE BEST NO.3 BATSMAN IN THE WORLD, not only no.3 but he is the greatest batsman of all times, why can't people blame Jaffer but no they always go behind Rahul, that is not fair, it must have been a team effort, why can't people blame Yuvaraj, Dhoni, Jaffer, they are the specialist in their respective positions and they fell cheaply,

Answer 2

All this mess has been created only to accommodate Yuvi into the team. Jaffer and Karthik were playing extremely well. But our stupid team mgmt thought that Karthik should not play and Dravid, who is a MIDDLE-ORDER BATSMAN, should open.

I say, lets throw Dhoni out coz he's TERRIBLE at Test cricket. Bring Karthik in his place and let him open with Jaffer.

Then batting line up will be fine and strong.

Dravid is NOT AN OPENER and it is NOT HIS FAULT that India lost. Can you make a Chef work as a barber? NO. Ditto with Dravid

Answer 3

Dravid is not at fault. In this connection, I agree with the comments of "ATT". Throw Dhoni out, bring in Kaarthick and bring Sehwag in the middle order instead of Yuvaraj. When Yuvaraj could get out for poor scores, Sehwag could as well do that. Sehwag could be a better bowler. Worth the change, Bring in Pathan instead of RP Singh, this will strengthen the batting.

Answer 4

by their defeating Australia convincinglhy interior the twenty/20 journey hyesterday, India have proved that their winning the T20 international cup grew to become into not by fluke. It has returned proved that t20 is the sport of youngsters and previous gamers at the instant are not idally proper for this format. Indian batsmen, relatively Gautam Gambhir and Robin Uthappa have been dazzling of their working between the wicket and Yuvaraj Singh confirmed brilliance in fielding. although, because 50 over pastime is fullyyt a various format, I strongly experience that seniors have a necessary rold to play and as such Sachin, Gangully and Dravid must be persevered as long as they are able to accomplish nicely. it quite is going to be suicidal to play ODI fits against solid communities at the same time with australia, pakistan and Sri Lanka with in basic terms the toddlers who're yet to tutor their consistency in 50 overs journey.

Answer 5

i have a doubt whether sehwag has picked for the tour....
if yes why can't selection comitee bring sehwag to open the innings.....
my opinion is sehwag n ganguly shud open the innings...so that they wud keep on rotating the strike.....
jaffer lacks experience when playing against such a team....
coming to the point....
there's no point in blaming dravid.
first of all...... he'e not a opener
yet he open the innings,it is only for the team....
there's no reason to blame him......
not only dravid all our batsmen have'nt perform well......
all we need is a specialised openers to face aussie pacers...

Answer 6

I will blame the selectors for asking Rahul Dravid to open the innings for India . By asking rahul dravid to open the innings the selectors have put lots of pressure on him. We know Rahul dravid is a great batsmen on no.3. By asking Rahul to open Laxman also has to feel pressure by coming on to bat on no.3 instead of his favourite position that is no.6

Answer 7

The team selection is the main fault, I hope sehwag must be taken and jaffer to be dropped since at opening one must be their to play with fire. And also pathan must be taken because he is a good batsman too, he should be taken with respect to rp-sing. And questioning Rahul Dravid performance is pointless.

Answer 8

It was wrong to make Dravid to open, when Sehwag was included in the team as an opener.

Answer 9

75% fault is of Dravid.
He is a great player. Those two innings from Dravid are one of the worst i have ever seen from him.

25 % fault of team management. What's the point of asking an out of form batsman to open against the best team ion the world.

Answer 10

I think the blame should be more on the selection committtee. Why only Dravid, even Jaffer was also a flop in both innings.
