I rather bowl to team 1 any day.  Atleast they will give me a greater chance of getting them out.

[size=12pt]"If you play bad shots you get out.

If you hit the ball in the air often you're going to get out.

If you can bat to 50, you can bat to a 100.

In T20 cricket, guys just give themselves room and fire.

They don't care if they get out.

This is why Test cricket will always be the ultimate.

It tests you as to whether you are a man or a boy."[/size]

Shiv is an accumulator styled player. It's hard to get out when you don't play shots, just block balls and only attack bad balls.

What's depressing is that our "flashy players" (Bravo, Samuels, Powell etc) strike just as slowly and still GET OUT.

Ricky Ponting once said that he learned how to bat in junior cricket by always striving to never getting out.  If it took the bowlers 3 days to get him out, so be it. 8)

[size=18pt]CHECK OUT THE NOT OUTS AND STRIKE RATES OF THESE 4 BATSMEN IN THE 10K CLUB[/size]



Batsman/Innings played/Not Out/Strike Rate

Dravid---286---32 Not Out---42 SR

Border---265---44 Not Out---41 SR

Waugh---260---46 Not Out---46 SR

SHIV-----267---47 Not Out---43 SR


OBSERVATION:

* Their strike rates are similar---low to mid 40s

* Border, Waugh and Chanderpaul batted mainly at #5 and had similar amounts of NOT OUTS.

* Dravid batted at #3 but still managed 32 Not Outs.


QUESTION:

* [size=14pt]Why do Shiv HATERS denigrate his NOT OUTS and not malign the NOT OUTS of Border, Waugh and Dravid ?[/size]

* It's pure prejudice, envy and jealousy on part of Shiv HATERS, right ?
