Rahul Dravid has been included in an Indian squad for tri series in Srilanka and champions trophy to strenghthen the Indian middle order but it seems that Dravid was out of this kind of cricket for quite long time and he will need some time to adjust. The current innings which he played against Newzealand shows less confidence and he missed lot of balls despite no pressure on batting.

The question arises

Will he back to his form in champions trophy?

The answer totally lies how quickly he adopt the ODI cricket as it is totally different than test and domestic cricket despite he played IPL. He is an experienced player and the selection committee must have something in  mind to include him. If we see the Indian batting line the one can see lot of T20 basmen who impressed previously but very less figures for ODI cricket.

The tri series may help Dravid to back to his norm and play a good cricket for Indians.

When Australian off-spinner Jason Krejza walked in to meet the press at the end of the second day’s play, he still seemed a little dazed by all that had transpired over the first three hours of play on Friday.

“It is still a blur to me. I just tried to keep doing what I was doing, it’s still unbelievable to me,” he said.

Having picked up three out of five wickets on the first day, captain Ricky Ponting had bowled the offie almost right through the first session without any luck, but the tale twisted dramatically after lunch as the Aussie picked up five wickets in the space of 26 deliveries to clean up the Indians and finish with an astonishing eight for the innings.

“Incredible. It’s still unbelievable, against the best players of spin in the world, to get returns like that,” he said.

Krejza, who sat out of the first three Tests after taking a hammering at the hands of the India A side in a warm-up game said he wasn’t frustrated at any point even as he watched his bowling colleagues struggling out in the middle.

“It was an honour for me to be here in the first place. Being one of the spinners to get selected to play against India was an honour. For me to play a Test was an even greater one. It never worried me. I knew that I was going to get a go at some stage.”

Having picked up eight for the innings, it ws surprising how quickly he answered the regular ‘which one was your favourite?’ query. “The first one definitely,” he said without hesitation.

“It’s the one that sticks in my mind, my first Test wicket. Getting Rahul Dravid out was great.” Especially, as he says, he had worked it out before. “It was one that I had worked out in my mind, how to get him out, so definitely one that will stick out in my mind.”

As for the match itself, Krejza believes the Australians have set up a platform from where they can win the game. “It’s swung back in our favour, we have got ourselves into a very good position where we have tow batsmen who are looking very good and have got us into a good position to win the game.”
