Australia’s speed star, Shaun Tait, holds Rahul Dravid in high regard, saying that India’s batting maestro is one of toughest batsmen to bowl against.
Dravid played his last limited-over game on Friday, September 16, 2011, when the World Champions suffered an embarrassing six-wicket defeat against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c749 in the final One Day International (ODI) at Cardiff.
Although, he kept performing well throughout the competition, his best innings of the series came in his last match, as he set a solid platform at the top-order by smashing a fantastic 69-run-knock.
Earlier in the tour, the seasoned campaigner emerged as India’s ‘Player of the Test Series’ following his 461 runs in four matches. At the twilight of his international career, Dravid has been performing outstandingly, setting a great example for the youngsters.
Tait, who shared http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rajasthan-c837 Royals’ dressing room with the veteran batsman in the fourth season of the Indian Premier League (IPL), learnt a lot about Dravid, and lauded his mental strength.
“It was really good to have him in the Rajasthan Royals squad. We have learnt a lot from him. He may be known as a Test specialist, but he showed that he can play the Twenty20 format as well,” said Tait who has bowled at over 100 mph.
The Australian pacer has already said good bye to Test and ODI cricket in order to focus on Twenty20. Despite the fact that Tait is not interested in the longest version of the sport anymore, he will follow the upcoming Test clash between India and Australia,
as it will be an exciting contest between the two great sides.
"It’s difficult to say who are the favourites as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. It’s going to be highly competitive,” added the 28-year-old speed merchant who played his last Test
against India in 2008.
