Just because a player 'models' himself on another doesn't mean he's as good.
Remember, Sehwag models himself on Sachin. 
The problem is nobody has seen him bowl i think. Only Vande Mataram is saying that he has seen him bowl. Such is the coverage of domestic cricket here. All i have seen of him is the interview which Ringua has said. But there are always good reports of him in the newspapers here. Maybe b'coz he is from Mumbai:rolleyes:lord_of_darkness said:
They were just tired and wanted a break but the board has said b'coz of injuries. It was long before the selection in the news that they will take rest. Also Dravid is getting married , so maybe he wanted a break and the rest said that they wanted to spend some time with the family.Top_Cat said:Just because a player 'models' himself on another doesn't mean he's as good.
As for the latest reports that Sachin and Dravid are out of the tournament with 'hand injuries', I'm suspicious. Either they're both soft, are frightened for their safety (understandable) or are just tired and want a break (REALLY understandable). I sure hope it's one of the last two options.
Let's not exagerate now.....let's just wait and see how he does first...vandemataram said:
Have you seen him bowl, Mx? I haven't seen him bowl. But i remember you saying that you watched the match in which Balaji and Salvi picked up about 8 wickets for 20 runs. How does he bowl? I hear that he bowls just line and length and mostly surprises batsman b'coz of his extra bounce which he gets b'coz of his height.Mr Mxyzptlk said:
Just saw a report which said that Sachin has a finger injury which will keep him out of all cricketing engagements for atleast 2 months. Sounds quite genuine. As for Dravid, I am not sure, but he must be exhausted after performing the dual roles of top batsman and wicket keeper in the WC. Plus, he is also getting engaged, so maybe he is looking for some quality time with his bride-to-be.....Top_Cat said:Just because a player 'models' himself on another doesn't mean he's as good.

Rather more appropriately one of the greatest readers ever:rolleyes: .I said that "IF" ever Salvi proves to be "HALF AS GOOD" as McGrath, then it would be fortunate for India. I never claimed that Salvi would be the next McGrath or so.McGrath is a legend and a rare breed.Salvi has potential, but whether he succeed in establishing himself at international level is yet to be seen!

Nothing wrong with modelling yourself on Tuffers, he has 1000+ FC Wickets...Ringua said:Don't model urself after those bowlers as you might end up in trouble! I had modelled myself after the legendary english pacer " Harmison" only to find out my own team mates deserting me at net practice
