DRAVID is a BRILLIANT batsman!!

One of my all time favourites!

Looking forward to him getting a knock for the RC’s if JK ever gets out.

Hi Geoffrey

Am a big fan of your commentary.Its got the right mix of unbiased apt analysis and rumour.

Indians were superb at Eden.My question is do you feel Sehwag has redefined the way batting is done in test cricket.

Right On Sir G..seems like Indians heard you loud and clear..

Laxman did come and in and solidify the middle order in 2nd test. But with 4 centuries and all round bowling the whole team performed..Eden Garden played its unique role also!

Have patience buddy. Manish Pandey yet to get drafted to the national side. For me the bigger concern is the spinners slot in the Indian team. Anil Kumble was great, not in league of Warne but could win a match for India. Are there young spinners coming up in world cricket as a whole ?

Sir Boycott, I think you have a very good point and it is something for Indian cricket to think about. They are more focused on commercial events like the IPL T20, which is alright, but they need to produce players of the quality of the three great ones that you just mentioned or it would be a lot of trouble for their test side in the years to come.

By the way, I never thought Steyn was as impressive before reading your article. But he’s been doing well recently.

Clearly, you can hardly be impressed by the way Saha and Badrinath have looked. I think guys like Sachin and Laxman made a clear presence from the very start of their careers. Maybe Murali Vijay is a good find, bats like VVS Laxman too. But apart from that, drought.
