Rahul Dravid: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“This might take half an hour.”
Rahul Dravid knows there are more than a few reasons for Team India’s debacle in the Test series against England.
What he really meant:
“It needs to be a report submitted to the BCCI which will then be put away in dust-covered file cabinets.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“It’ll take just 5 ODIs and a decent result to resolve the underlying issues.”
Mahendra Singh Dhoni: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“You won’t see a Sreesanth batting like a Don Bradman just because he wants to bat like one.”
Mahendra Singh Dhoni is realistic about his expectations from the tailenders in the Indian side in the Edgbaston post-match interview; tweaks in technique for English conditions can do just so much.
What he really meant:
“And you won’t see a Don Bradman bowl like Sreesanth because he wants to bowl like one. You get my point?”
What he definitely didn’t:
“I really don’t know what I’m saying. Why did I even drag Sree into this? Let’s just get the press conference over with.”
Tim Bresnan: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
"It’d help if the India fielders didn’t have their hands in their pockets. It’s not that cold. They need to look interested [in play] and show some desire. If you don’t want to be here, go home."
Tim Bresnan is not amused with the attitude of the Indian cricket team on the field in the third Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The Indians folded for 224 in their outing, the fifth consecutive innings where they have been bowled out for less than 300 runs.
What he really meant:
“We like winning but against competitive sides—not deadbeats.It devalues our efforts.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“If the Indians need extra sweaters, they can pick up some from our dressing room.”
Graeme Swann: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“We could be collecting bins or laying bricks on a cold morning in England.”
Graeme Swann believes that young cricketers are too soft and do not appreciate the benefits and perks of earning their living from playing the game.
What he really meant:
“Most cricketers would hate an alternative career—given a choice.How lucky are we?”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Cricket is a game played on cold winter mornings in England.”
Ravi Bopara: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“Yeah, it’s dead right now in my car.”
Ravi Bopara has his life organized with an IPad—only it’s not charged. Bopara takes Jonathan Trott’s place in the third nPower Test at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
What he really meant:
“That I’m a mere cricketer does not mean I’m not tech savvy. Sure, it’s charged.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“My car batteries are dead too.”
Sunil Gavaskar: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“It looked like a contest between a professional team and a schoolboys team.”
Sunil Gavaskar is scathing in his criticism of the Indian team’s performance against a superior English side.
What he really meant:
“It’s no wonder warm-up games feature second string players (Northamptonshire).”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Isn’t this remark pithier than Boycott’s ‘India played like Bangladesh’?”
Saurav Ganguly: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“Make the most when you get it, once it goes, you won’t get it back, even how much you want it."
Saurav Ganguly has no sympathy for the moaners and groaners in the Indian squad. He feels that the India cap is hard-earned and is not to be worn lightly.
"I’m too fed up hearing this "time to recover" [excuse] – don’t play for India then, you know this is what it is, you have to come back and play a Test series.” said the former captain.
What he really meant:
“Aches and pains come and go. The India cap comes along—rarely.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“The guys in this Indian side can approach me for tips on how to play short-pitched stuff.”
Geoffrey Boycott: What he said, really meant and definitely did not
What he said:
“India looked like Bangladesh in disguise.”
Geoffrey Boycott is scathing in his criticism of the Indian cricket team. “Their ground fielding was atrocious, their bowling was wayward and lacking thought.” says the Yorkshire great.
What he really meant:
“I’m sure Bangladesh would have put up a better fight. England beat Sri Lanka 1-0 in three Tests, and yet the No.1 side are down 0-2 in two. Yeah, I forget, they won’t be No.1 after this series.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Duncan, you can go home now. I’d like to coach this Indian side.”
