The Best Team Man

who according to u is the best team man? for me, from whatever i have seen, rahul dravid...in case one wants to know about the definition...(i am trying) a team man is the guy who is ready to do anything for the side, who puts the interests of the team ahead, and won't mind sacrificing the personal ones, be it a century or anything else...
 

OMM!

U19 12th Man
Matt Prior 100%

The fact he averages 45 or so in Test cricket is remarkable given the way he bats and the amount of declaration batting he has to do!

I reckon if he batted top 6 and was allowed to properly construct all of his Test innings, he'd be pushing Gilchrist and Flower's batting records close!

Could say exactly the same about Gilchrist. Never played a selfish innings.
 

JBMAC

State Captain
Mike Hussey springs to mind straight away. Also Border, Colin Cowdrey,Wes Hall,Wally Grout to name a few more for consideration.

Nice article from 99.94. Featuring Dravid, Muralitharan and Andy Bichel.
thnx mate, a nice article u supplied...but i don't think what it said about dravid is perfect though...got to remember the number of things he did for the side...kept wicket, opened batting...and so on and so forth...and if the article is trying to suggest that laxman won more tests for india than dravid, than i am not the one who agrees...but it mentions some important names...and thnx for sharing that link...
