Since I started taking an active interest in cricket...the test match kind...which was after I came to the US....I keep listening to junta talk about how Dravid is slow when it comes to scoring...and how his game is best suited to test matches...and then there are those few who are ekdam fullto supporters of Mr. Dravid......However...as per the views of the Puneri....... without him our one day team is incomplete..just like we need SRT or Kaif or Yuvraj.......We need The Rock....and he has done pretty well to adapt his natural game (read technically perfect) to the one day verison....

I would still say that he is a relatively slow scorer though one few occasions we do end up seeing him score really fast.....which is something we have seen in recent times after the above mentioned adaptation to the shorter version of the game.......however the final verdict about whether his scoring is fast or slow....is given by 'The Wall' himself.....when asked ....."On whether he would contemplate going for Brian Lara's new world record"......Mr Dravid says...."For me to get 400, you would have to play six days [laughs]! "

Phani...Batulla....I can already hear Adi laughing out loud:)
