Is Dravid is bad runner between the wickets? What is his run out statistics?
154943
I think he is a bad but not too bad runner between the wicket.\n\nIn one days he has the 8th position from top.\n\n1st : Marvan attapattu (40 times).\n2nd : Injamam - ul - haq(38 times).\n3rd : wasim akram (38 times).\n4th : Mohammad ajharuddin (32)\n5th : Mark waugh (32)\n6th : Mohammad yousuf (32)\n7th : Arjun ranatunga (30)\n8th : Rahul dravid (30)

lol ponting is in the very top form of his life....every player in the world has gone through this phase....it usually ends around age 33...so i would say after next year....ponting will lose his form.....if u compare bradman with ponting....then u gotta compare dravid...tendulkar...lara...kallis...with bradman...and im sure those guys would be delighted with that!!!! AB was the one who got aussie cricket to the state they are now....he and the chappells were the start......honestly....if u ask me...any one could captain this aussie team....when the pressure is on....ponting doesnt know what to do!!!! so border was a much much better captain....batsmen...ponting is better!!! better techniqe!!! altough ponting hasnt done well in india!!! ur right WI attack was by far the greatest ever....only warne and mcgrath would fit into that windies team in the 1980's in terms of bowling....in my opinion....ponting is better than tendulkar at the moment...tendulkar has been outta the game and out of form.....but overall tendulkar is way better than ponting....in all aspects of cricket...ODI and tests!!! lara is also better than ponting.....ponting is in the dravid and kallis class!!!!

GANGULY\nHE PLAY FOR TEAM NOT FOR HIS OWN RECORDS\n\nLOOK AT HIS PERFORMANCE IN FINAL MATCHES.\n\nDRAVID PLAYS VERY SLOW. \nI REMEMBER THAT IN ONE MATCH, INDIA NEEDS 10 RUNS IN LAST OVER AND STRIKER IS DRAVID, BUT DRAVID FAIL TO MAKE 10 RUNS AND INDIA LOST THE MATCH.\nIF HE CAN'T MAKE RUN THEN HE SHOULD LEAVE THE CREASE.

Brian Lara (West Indies) who has scored a total of 11904 runs in 130 test matches at an average of 53.14.\n\nSee the attached link for the top batsmen.\n\n*********************************************************************\n\nThank you so much to whoever gave me a negative vote. Could you let me know what's wrong with my answer please? The answer is correct and has a reliable source - honestly you just can't please some people.

Dravid, the underrated. Dravid, the shadow of Tendulkar. Average: 55.22\nCenturies: 15 !\nI like this BBC article which serves justice to a batsman following in a great tradition of Indian batsmen.\n\n\nFor Dravid is also known as the Wall, an impregnable line of defence that can have some of the finest bowlers in world cricket exasperated\n\n\nHe is a wall because of technique, variety and choice of shots. All executed with a temperament suited for the longer version.

Yes he should be out. Let me tell you, it's not about 6-7 matches. He has scored just 3 fifties in last 35 innings. I can't imagine any player resting on past laurels for that long. Even Ganguly's recent record is better than him. The selectors need to be consistent. Sehwag is by far the most overrated cricketer ever.

could have been won... but it never looked like 'easy' for the indian side.. right from losing the toss!\n\nas far as dravid's captaincy is concerned.. he is stil very new. n there's a lot of pressure over him.. and he actually did a very good job in saving the match.. \nso i wud still rate him 3.5 on 5 for his captaincy!

Nehra appears to be a ODI specialist these days due to his economic bowling and occasional effectiveness in swinging night conditions.  Can't see him getting a test ahead of the new young bowlers.  Zaheer needs health and good form.  He was briefly India's best bowler so he can get back to that position.

The Dhoni era is definitely not coming to a close. All players go through temporary losses of form, even the best ones. He's still relatively new to international cricket, and I'm sure he'll get even better as he gets more experienced in playing different teams in different conditions. His style in unorthodox (like Afridi and Pietersen) but he is clearly a very talented player.

LOL! Not much point checking that wikipedia link when he 's just cut & pasted most of it!\n\n\nA briefer answer, based on the fact that you understand how limited overs cricket works:\n\n..Unlike one day cricket, both teams have TWO batting innings each. The only limit to when an ininings has to end is when the batting side lose their tenth wicket, although a captain can also call an early end to his side's innings if he believes his side has more than enough runs to place them in a very strong position (this is called "declaring") \n\n...The first objective of the team batting first is to score enough runs to make the match almost impossible for the fielding team to win. Remember, they can take as long as they wish to do this providing they have at least one wicket left. \n\n...The first objective of the team bowling first is to dismiss the batting side for as few runs as possible, as quickly as possibly.  \n\n..Once the bowling side have taken all 10 wickets, the batting side's first innings end, and the teams change over. Alternatively, if the batting side have such a big total that they think the bowling side will seriously struggle to match it, they can declare an end to their own innings.\n\n.. so, here's an example. Lets say Australia go on today to make 560 all out. England then bat and make 420 all out. This means Australia would have a lead of 140 runs on the first innings. Australia then have their second innings, and make 300 all out. They now have a lead of 440, so.. England must make 441 in their second innings to win the match OR avoid losing all their wickets to force a draw. \n\n...Bear in mind that although there is NO limit on the length of \na team's innings, there IS a time limit in the match..namely five days. So a team has to judge how to pace its two innings and the speed of its scoring.. too long, and it does not allow itself enough time to dismiss the opposition, making it easier for the opposition to play for a draw. Any team which finds itself in a position where a win becomes unlikely ( like England at the moment !) will always try to avoid defeat by playing defensively for a draw.\n\nThats as simple as I can make it!

I think dhoni must open the innings with his swash buckling shots.As at present in our team we dont have a good opening start and thatz the reason y we had failed in the recent odi series with west indies.If sent opens the innings along with Sehwag then noone can stop India from making huge scores.I think the Indian team is not utilizing his talent properly.

Marathon innings: Lara. \n\nTell me one marathon innings others in your list have played.\n\nTendulkar played one against Bangladesh. (248)\nHe scored 241 against Australia - his worst ever double century on a flat pitch where he refused to cover-drive. \n\nPonting: I haven't seen one longish innings yet.\n\nKallis who?\n\nPS: Rahul Dravid is one name missing from the list. He is one in recent times who has batted over 2 days a few times.

Rahul Dravid is known for his amazing consistency, the way he brings the best out of him match after match. Its so hard to point to just a single knock!\nIf I have to pick few of those, then here’s my list-\n1) Twin knocks in Adelaide test match, where he followed a brilliant double ton with a match winning 70, might stand at the top. That knock played a vital part in India winning a test match down under after such a long time.\n2) His fighting innings of 190 against the kiwis in conditions conducive for seam movement (Ah!  I didn’t get a chance to see that match)\n3) According to most experts & Dravid himself his 270 against Pakistan is also up there!\n4) The kolkata test match, double ton against England…the list goes on!\n\nODIs- he played finisher’s role to perfection in the last two years or so. Some memorable knocks-recent 100 against Windies, quick fire of 84* against Sri Lanka, half century against Pakistan in ’03 WC ……\n*Most of his knocks were overshadowed by heroic exploits of a quick-scoring partner in the other end. But in most of those instances his knocks were either as crucial or even more than that of his partner’s!!

You should get first prize in criticizing some one like Dravid who is so humble. He has given his entire life for Indian Cricket.No one is obsessed with him. Cricket lovers adore him.
