But they have more than made up today morning. :)

So I am not sure which match Ian Chappell was watching :-)

Dravid may or may not be carrying an injury. But he was certainly there at mid-on when the pacers were bowling and he was at slips when Kumble bowled.

His choice. He is captain…

Shastri claims that Dravid did stand in the slips in Bangladesh but porbably is carrying an injury again.

Also interestingly, the BBC Live guys indicated that, given the nature of the pitch — basically a batsman’s paradise — a packed offside field gave Dravid the best chance of an early breakthrough! Pity that his bowlers did not cooperate!

Gavaskar also indicated that ever since Dravid sustained his finger-injury in South Africa, he has made it a point to not stand in the slips when the pace bowlers are on. I saw much of the match on TV and don’t think I saw Dravid walking up to the bowlers to piss in their ear after every other ball…

Either way, it looks like Ian Chappell was seeing a different match to these guys :-)
