Wall Wall Wall never hits a Ball
ReplyDeleteYou are right. While his approach is good for test matches, he sometimes forgets what he is supposed to do. In the first innings of the third cricket test match against New Zealand, he almost forgot to score runs and put the pressure on others. Finally, those around him failed. Dravid also cannot do anything and finally failed after occupying the crease for a very long time. He needs to change his approach to suit the match situation. Thanks.
