Ganguly finds a technical fault in Dravid's batting - Cricket News Update
Surprised by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rahul-c83321 Dravid’s run of failures in the ongoing Test series against Australia Down Under, the former India captain Sourav Ganguly has found a technical fault in his batting.
In his past seven innings, the middle-order batsman has been bowled six times, raising eyebrows back in India. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sourav-Chandidas-Ganguly-c90746 on the other hand, has noticed that his former teammate is lacking fluency in his footwork, and has urged Dravid to work hard to
regain his Midas touch.
"For Dravid, the problem of the ball rattling the stumps continues. I can't remember him getting bowled so many times in his career and it's becoming a worry for him and a lot of people connected with the game," said Ganguly.
"He just seems to get surprised by the deliveries coming into him and the bat face turns, which allows the ball to go through. That fluency of the footwork has gone completely missing and he will have to work very hard to get it back," the former http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750 skipper
added further.
The scathing remarks were made by Ganguly after the struggling number three batsman lost his wicket cheaply again in the first innings of fourth and final Test underway at Adelaide Oval since Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Dravid was bowled out for 1 by Ben
Hilfenhaus.
Dravid who is a veteran of 163 Tests, has been struggling with the bat right from the onset of the four-match Test series. He has scored 169 runs from seven innings so far, with an average of 24.14. India has lost the first three Test matches, and the visiting
team is struggling in the final match. Another whitewash cannot be ruled out.
Ganguly was also critical of the stand-in skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/V-Sehwag-c2739, as he feels that the batsman is on the decline.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 can reach the much awaited 100th international ton at Adelaide, the city of batting legend Don Bradman.
Tendulkar missed out on the elusive ton yet again as he was dismissed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PM-Siddle-c2197 for 25 in the first innings. The second innings of the fourth match would provide him the last chance to achieve the milestone in the longest format of the game against
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 in Australia.
