Your lack of knowledge about it shows how much you knew about cricket in the past 40 years.

And don't try to wriggle - you said plainly and clearly Strike Rate is only for Batsmen and they DON'T exist for bowlers. A claim that busted how much you know about cricket.

Why should I know about 'strike rate', when it doesn't influence the way the game is played?

 

[Bhairava]

Yes, when Dravid was the keeper for 5 years, he was the keeper.

You're essentially saying that when Dravid kept wickets for India for 5 years, he was not the keeper

He was a part-timer. Not a specialist keeper like Gilly or Sanga or Boucher. Just like Sanga is not a specialist opener.

Only specialists are selected for the spots, not part-timers.

Do I have to spoon feed you everything ?

Look you said there does not exist such a thing for bowlers - a clear case of ignorance before I proved you wrong.

All this hoopla about its effect was added by you later to divert the issue..

The primary thing is you DID not know about it half an hour before.Period.

Bilal, you didn't know that there is a strike rate for a bowler?

 

[Bhairava]

Bilal, you didn't know that there is a strike rate for a bowler?

hahaha..he did not.

It doesn't matter whether he was a specialist or not, he was a keeper for 5 years. Just like Sangakkara was an opener for sometime. Being a specialist is again, a personal opinion. The fact is that Dravid was a keeper for 5 years, & I can use his statistic to measure how he kept for 5 years, as a keeper.

You never mentioned the 'specialist' word, you said Dravid was not a keeper when he was a keeper.

Again a fail.

You are clearly hopeless. A specialist is a specialist.

You jsut cant ask a No.4 batsmen to open an innings and make him perform as well as a specialist opener would.

Their mentality,approach to the game, batting everything varies.

Like I said watch some cricket, preferably 5 day matches and you will get to know.

You never mentioned the 'specialist' word, you said Dravid was not a keeper when he was a keeper.

Semantics and clutching straws ..nothing else.

Those who actually know cricket will know what I spoke.

Is only the half bakes that have not watched cricket for decades will pester like you are doing

 

[53fd]

Again a fail.

But why did you say he was not a keeper when he was the keeper?

Any evidence to support that claim? Another Umar Gul interview type evidence coming up?

 

[Nelson]

If you allow me to comment, he did not say that Dravid was not a keeper, he's just saying that he was not a specialist.

He said before in his previous posts that Dravid was not a keeper.

 

[53fd]

Still waiting for an answer for Post # 144.

 

[Bhairava]

But why did you say he was not a keeper when he was the keeper?

Keeper means in itself a specialist keeper. Not Ball stoppers like Dravid.

I cant help you if don't know these things.

15 years of watching cricket is the evidence.

Try watching some and it may dawn on you.

Being a specialist anything is a matter of personal opinion. Afridi used to consider himself a specialist batsman, but now he considers himself a specialist bowler. It's not a fixed science. People think they specialize in different things from time to time.

15 years of watching cricket is the evidence.

15 years of cricket didn't tell you the 'strike rate' wasn't a rule of cricket?

Afridi even thought the cricket ball was a cherry from Peshawar and bit it. Don't mention him

Anything else, now that you know there exists a thing called Strike Rate in cricket ?
