- With India in all sorts at 4/85 and some big guns back in the sheds, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman came together during the second Test of the 2003-2004 series. The two belted a partnership of 303 as the Australian bowlers had no answers to the dominant display.

Everyone's talking about Laxman and Dravid (hats off to them) but let us all take a moment and appreciate Cricket Australia's CZcams channel , I mean they always show us phenomenal stuffs and the presentation is on next level. Thank You CA for keeping the game alive.
Undoubtedly the best cricket channel
They know how to get views.
@@achiever6066That's the randi-rona way to look at it
@@sahtarwars8386 that's randi- rona you are doing he is telling truth they don't doing it for providing fun they are for views like other
@@rambhakt32176 appreciate others if they do good .... now how much money they make shouldnt be our business
Same thing Star has to learn in India. Show good cricket irrespective of nationality.
Star shows look like poor pr activity of some so called stars
Rahul Dravid and VVS batting whole day + Tony Grieg's commentary =Pure CLASS.
What happened with Sports yaari? Do you know?
@@Himanshu69686 Manoj Rohit Dheeraj Aakash Shuvendu have left SY...
And few of them have joined sports hour...
@@rohanyeole6520 U know the reason ?
Not batting whole day.1 session in 2nd day and two session in 3rd day.
@@fahimkhan-ll2ey That's 3 sessions in total which means 1 while day.
Those days when Dravid and Laxman were like a Dangerous Nightmare for the opposition. Two living legends!
They reserved their best against the sledges. Those two were a nightmare for the Aussies. Gem of cricketers. Gentlemen.
Especially for Australia 😂
Say right
Batting for such long periods shows their immense concentration levels
In 2023 virat and gill distroy Australia like them not think in partnership
The techniques of Dravid and Laxman were just so textbook and perfect!!!
everyone in that era had a stylish n unique technique , be it sehwag , Yuvraj , Ganguly , Sachin , Dravid or Lax. These days technique is less focussed upon and players go for power , maybe that is the only reason we keep choking in ICC K.O stages
z
@@siddharthbhatii I don't see how their technique can be a problem, why not something else? Rahul, Rohit and Virat are some of the most stylish players (atleast in today's era) when they are in good form
@@siddharthbhatii And it was Hardik, a power hitter, who saved our innings in last year's WC Semis
@@aadit1624 then why aren't they winning any icc tournaments ?
Dravid and Laxman were like rahu and ketu for Aussies in tests...😂😂😂😂
Laxman sachin sahi hai intl me lara sachin

😂
RAHU DRAVID 🔥😎
VVS EDEN ADELAIDE & ALL 4TH INNINGS KETU LAXMAN 🔥🗿😎
🇮🇳 Sachin, Ganguly, Dravid, VVS Laxman........WOW ! What an era ❤ Missing those golden days.......🎉
All come face bowlers who get hammered by a boss on top
Sehwag
An aggressor who takes quick runs at the top
Rest the fab 4 takes care of
Yes bro for sure 🤝
Dont miss shewag
Sahara too😊
Has Sachin ever played a crucial innings for India??
VVS shots are poetry in motion. Such class
I rate this partnership at par with the Kolkata stand. Trailing by almost 500 runs with 6 wkts remaining in a country you haven't won for 22 years - also the giants of that era. I know McGrath and Warne were missed in this series, but don't forget that these bowlers have bowled some amazing spells in cricket history as well.
True and well said.However Eden is just a little bit more special and only by a wee bit because we won after following on.
I think Adelaide is up there in terms of the challenges posed. 4 down for 85 in Australia, trailing by 470 odd runs! What are the chances of even beginning to believe that we can do it from there.
Yes Kolkata will be the greatest, but Adelaide is right there on top as well.
Definitely one of the greats but Kolkata remains the best. It came while following on as well.
Those early morning days.
2003 finished 10th standard and was relaxed in 11th standard and jr college use to be morning time hence I use to get up early and atleast watch an hour or two of these series.
This series will forever be in my memory.
Funny, how I remember so many of personal achievements from this series and when compared the same with recent series I hardly remember anything.
This partnership and then in Sydney Sachin innings of 241 was incredible.
I still remember in this Adelaide match, Australia didn't dismiss Dravid and hr played twice and scored 300+ combined.
Can so relaate to this.I was in my 2nd year Engineering and ws during our internals.Plan wss to to get up early and study but was glued on tv .Even now remember each and every thing about this series. Back then beating Australia in Australia was just unthinkable. Like u mentioned funny how we dont remember much abt recent series but remember everythinh so clearly abt series back then.The good ol days of pre social media life.
Same remember watching this series on ESPN. Waking up early to watch sehwag scoring brilliant hundred at mcg and this partnership those winning hit by dravid at adelaide. Time really flew very very fast.
I was in 4th standard, would get up at 4 am and switch on the TV to watch a match. Don’t see kids nowadays studying in 4th standard doing so. I remember every single series india played since NatWest 2002, ct 2002, West Indies tour of India in Diwali 2002, then India’s nz tour, memorable 2003 wc, tvs cup 2003, this series in Australia and VB series where Zimbabwe was third opponent. What a golden days❤❤❤
I was a kid then in my 6th Standard..All i could understand of this was that there is a match going on between india and Australia and india is batting..
Just wanted to watch..didn't know much about the intricacies of test match ..
But still watched..Just knew that when a team is winning and when it is not...
I am in 10th class in 2023 and one day I'll be talking same about 2023 Border Gavaskar Trophy series and Virat kohli's incredible knock. This hurts the most🥺. King is not gonna play for a long time😭😢.Time flies away. The loss of 2019 world cup is still in my ♥. I want to become a cricketer and to win a world cup for my country but my parents are not supporting me a very little in my carrer 😣.There is only one life and we have to try once what we want to do because failures don't hurt but regret does.
If we look at any important test victory outside India (some in India as well) , we will mostly have either Dravid or VVS, or both as signigicant contributor. Absolute legends.
Dravid's backfoot cut was a treat to watch. These two have had some legendary partnership.
Dravid and Laxman always been a nightmare for Aussies bowlers..
2003-04 .. Golden memories of childhood...
This test series always remembered for Indian cricket team exceptional performance..
303 runs pathnership stand by Dravid and VVS. Then 241 runs inning by Sachin Tendulkar at Sydney in the very next match.. 141 runs inning from the bat of Dada at Bribrane, Gaba..
Anil Kumble perfect replay of Shane Warne bowling...
All it means this series had been a milestone in the upliftment of Indian Cricket...
This is pure Cricket. An excitement for 1-2 days.
Way better than the 1000 other 20-20 being played today.
I don't even consider 20-20 as cricket it's just an alternative to movies maybe.
True...
True
If a captained failed 8n pure cricket then we can say he is not a good captain right? Yeah here cones l9rd dhobi never a best captain in test cricket
@@mahendargoud353what happened choker chokli panoti pan why barking your father job dhobi here
Lost my father in 2000...only joy for me was these cricket matches during those years
Same here..lost him in 2000 August 😔
RIP to both of your father
Rip to your father
& now a days ipl, bbl, psl etc has ended all triangular & quadrangular series ☹️☹️☹️☹️
@@truepatriot6657 u r right the are raping the game
It's quite shocking that dravid hitted a six to complete his 💯. Amazing
Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Ganguly 🔥🔥. What a middle order that was !! One of the greatest
Dravid - 49 test matches (00-05) averaged over 70. That's mental.
One of the ? Nah THE GREATEST
With akash Chopra opening 😂😂😂😂
@@abhijeet785vthat's why we needed them as middle orders 😂
The crispness of the shots off VVS' bat.. what a duo..
11:04 what a beautiful shot ❤️
One of the best Australia tour of India series.... This Australian team was a monster the best tour l must say. Under Sourav Ganguly that tour first showed the steel of lndia ❤❤❤❤
Not the best Ausies side without Monster Glen mcgrath
I didn't watched VVS much, but after this video, he is a genius & class player for me.
Best moments of Cricket those days... Ganguly , Sachin, Dravid, VVS... These players did not have any hate or rivalry between them.. it was pure team game...
Aj fav four 4 alag alag team me hi. That time in same team
Thanks CA for this GEM 💎 .Classy batting and a golden commentary team to boot.Golden Memories 🙏🏽👍🏽
from this knock you can realise why laxman was very very special ❤️
This Duo Dominated Australia when Australia dominated the whole world.
Perfectly commented on this duo and aus.
No they did not.
What a statement man
Top class comment
@@UmpireStrikesBack as an Australian you would say that
Dravid was such a treat to watch ❤
Those pure timing ground shots with cricket bats that were just cricket bats and not baseball. And that crowd that cheered for the home team in Australia, unlike now when Indians dominate in crowd at every Aussie ground too - this video is throwback to days which won't be in fashion ever again, and be almost like a folklore for future generation.
P.S.: It's a thrill to see Indian crowd in Australia the way it is these days, especially myself being an Indo-Aussie, but the purity of this video is something else.
How sad , bro india is literally ruining the sport. I am Indian, but I lost interest after 2019 ODI world cup. Since then I never watched a match on the TV. There's no enjoyment in the game when only Indians play and Indians watch. The sports is kind of dead in all commonwealth nations except India.
2015 ODI world cup was great ,but after that cricket is on decline.
Great to see placement of VVS and R Dravid. When top order failed these players really played well helped to win the test match. Present team must learn from it..
This is cricket and it’s pure class from Great Rahul Dravid and VVS
Rahul Dravid is pure gold
What a classy stroke play form Dravid and Laxman !!!!!! Elegance at its peak !!!!!! 💙💙❤💥
Indian test 5 superstars those days ,shewag, Sachin, laxman, dravid, ganguly great line up
Man those days test cricket is interesting to watch whole day this is not just a team it's an emotion for 90s kids dada's army
@Utsav Arora nowadays the test matches are really interesting
@Utsav Arora compared to then
@Utsav Arora the thing is these nostalgia merchants can never accept that today's generation can play better cricket than them
@@aryansingla7432this generation is all about t-20s they are losing ODIs bcoz of their t-20s mindset
The boundary @ 5:31 by VVS was just a flick & it raced to the boundary. He was on a midas touch that day.
Dravid Sir....! Beautiful childhood MEMORIES!
Rahul getting to century with a six is pure gold
These two gentlemen were a treat to watch. Especially Laxman.
Especially his effortless cover drives were just ❤️❤️
Was present at the Eden Gardens during the 2001 epic partnership. No wicket lost during a day. But this was on per. Only one country that stood up to Australia those days be it home or abroad and that was India.
Masters of cricket on both sides , awesome and simple days..
Those childhood days…when BRITANIA meant a bat manufacturing company for us. This video is 13 mins of pure nostalgia…!!❤️
Childhood memories..huge fan of rahul dravid💚
After the historic performance in crucial moment at Eden Garden(2001), this duo again showed their own class against the Aussie through their another classic exhibition of batting in another crucial situation at Adelaide Oval(2003).....
The best two test entertainers of their era watching them both together is a treat.
Those drives by Dravid.... Absolutely immaculate....
I think McGrath and Warne were not playing, but that doesn’t take the shine off of Dravid and Laxman’s superb batting. Some of the shots are just wow...And the commentary by Tony Greig, Ian Chappell and Bill Lawry...icing on the cake.
I remember the Aussie coach was cocky about winning the series 3-0, but in the end, they have to scramble for the draw😊
Mcgrath and Warne were both playing in the 2001 kolkata test and could do nothing
they played well but I think the Aussie bowlers didn't bowl particularly well overall other than Bichel. this series had excellent batting pitches in general too.
Those early morning days 5 am to watch this partnership with out disturbing our parents by keeping tv volume low.. Memories❤
So happy to see one of my favorite umpires
"Late Mr. David Shepherd" 🙌
Ya
Sehwag takes back to back wickets of Gilchrist, Brett Lee at Perth. Late the great Tony Greg “ How come he didn’t play a test prior to this” ( he was out in first two). Truly a difference maker.
After these Matches, Sachin controlled his cover drive and scored centuries 💯❤️
It's impossible to see again such brilliant, elegant, effortless and classic drives💥💥💥🔥🔥🔥 only Dravid, Laxman and Sachin can play such master strokes...
2 legends playing real test match. Dravid and laxman 🙌🏼 nowadays test match feel fade away
This series of 2003 will be remembered for Shewag 195 @ Melbourne
Dravid epic century @ Adelaide
Laxman & Dravid partnership @ Adelaide & most most importantly STEVE BUCKNOR
Laxman Sachin 300+ partnership at the SCG
And Sachin’s masterclass 241* in the same match when he didn’t hit a single cover drive!
@@anupbokil Don't forget, it all
started with the Captain's 144 at the Gabba!
@Utsav Arora
Agarkar got 6 fer and India won the game. So it was a critical partnership
I remember watching it when I was a kid. I turned off the TV after Ganguly got run out. Next morning I wake up and see Dravid has scored a century!
How did you not trust these 2 even after Kolkata 2001?
Timing for Australian Test cricket matches in 5:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m....So after 1:00 p.m. you didn't try to know the score?
@@MrNimesh1975 no. Woke up straight the next day and tuned in around 7 or 8 am. didn't even bother catching the highlights.
@@aniketsawant2240 on which channel did u watch it?
@@anweshchatterjee7595 In those days, 4 down under 100 was a death sentence. But since then I have seen Brendon Mccullum & BJ watling revive NZ from 94/5 to 600+ and Also Partnership between Laxman and Ishant Sharma in Mohali 2010. And now after seeing India score 48 in 3 overs, Mehidy Hassan taking Ban score from 60/6 to 270...anything is possible. I will never say anything is impossible. Which is why I kept watching the recent test despite flat track hoping that Jaddu/Ash will get them allout for 200 and India will chase 100 runs in 15 overs.
Best days of cricket... i wish this team could have played forever
Me also want this ❤
But cnt possible because nature is the rule of change😊
@@amitmalhotra9497 good thing doesnt last long bhai ... i wish chappel had never came n destroyed our fav cricket team n fav captain ...
OMG...Sachin , Sehwag , Ganguli , Dravid and Laxman......together......Legends...
Not sehwag
It's a legendary game from an Indian point of view. We started to believe that we could beat the best. Thank you CA Cricket.
VVS Laxman & dravid on fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 stand
I still remember someone saying that Laxman's timing is so perfect that hits so beautifully in the gaps that he doesn't let the fielder move an inch and the ball is gone
In this series, this partnership did set the tone for the Indian Team
Those days are gone when our players used to play sessions after sessions without failing any wickets and piling up big partnerships and dominating spinners
2:41 4:11 4:53 6:35 these shots are greater then various international cricketers career
1:37 ❤
I will never forget this Match.. I have seen this match Live and it was a match winning partnership followed by Agarkar's great spell.
Look at the placement of cover drive @11:8
Textbook of how to play in Australian conditions seriously
Both are legends of the game 🙏🏻
Dravid -patience technique solid defence
Laxman -wrist work elegant stylish
Fighting spirit in a pure way.. Its so satisfying to watch the whole day of test match 😊
cannot imagine this level of batting against such quality bowling attacks..with 4 wickets down against a mammoth 1st innings total.. and they did it many times.. 2001 kolkata is another example
VVS got the magic in wrists
VVS is like making look the world's most attacking bowling unit as gully cricket bowling. Absolutely toying. And Dravid like reading text book and implementing.
VVS was my favourite player at that time.
The flair & ease with which VVS played away from his body (both sides) is unmatched. India held the mighty Aussies. Sehwag 195, Ganguly 143, Ponting consecutive double tons wow
This is a classy show from the 2 classy batsmen of test cricket
My favorite test. It was a joy as a 10 year old to wake up at 5 AM and watch Dravid bat. Good ol' days of Dec 2003. They pull off an Eden gardens at the Oval.
The 2 legends... Dravid & Laxman
This is the series where India started turning into a good travelling Test side. Ganguly did the unimaginable and should take all the credit for turning India into a great Test side and also taking us to WC 2003 Final.
Post the match-fixing saga of 1999, Indians were leaving cricket and many I knew started hating it. From there, Ganguly built a team of honest and passionate cricketers who took us to several laurels. Thanks Dada.
I will see this all day, what wonderful shots from these legendary players
Rahul Dravid was simply outstanding in this test match.. 233 & 72* completely drained the Aussie bowlers...
After that Epic Test in Kolkata, 2001,
This is Laxman another Best innings. Vs Aus
And also that partnership with Sachin, Sydney 2004
Even after 20years, this Adelaide Test Match never gets old. ❤☺
Its been 21 years to this but it still feels like yesterday. The another Dravid-Laxman Partnership and the 4th innings chase to win that match, gives me goosebumps still. I was 15 years old back them.
Pure class of Laxman batting in tests especially vs Australia..Stylish batting and the balls were went in Rocket speed😊😊Most under-rated batsmen in Indian cricket 😢
After Eden Gardens clash,it was best partnership between Rahul Dravid & VVS Laxman 303 runs.They are legends of Indian test cricket team.🇮🇳
I think this was better given that we were playing the invincibles in their own backyard
That was some batting line up:
When the going gets tough, the TOUGH GET'S GOING
Calcutta to adelaide ...aussies nightmare laxman -dravid
Classy cricket. Pure simple bliss. No honking. Good old classic cricket
One is wall and other is passion. That is what our youngsters should take lessons from these stalwarts
Those cover drives from Dravid and effortless strokes from Laxman made my day again. May be it was from this match Laxman was called as very very special Laxman. Golden days of cricket against strong teams
Elegance and grace writeen on every shot played by Dravid and Laxman. Great batsmen
Nostalgic hits.
Wake up early in the morning and turn on the radio and listen to the commentry. Was not fortune enough have tv at home but extremely fortunate enough to listen to those Border Gavaskar series. Absolute jems. In recent times. I only follow test matches and short format world cups. Stopped watching ODI for a while now.
Vvs & Dravid legends 🎉❤
These two were nightmare for the bowlers 😂😂 legend 🙏
drives by both vvs and dravid 🔥🔥
After Seeing this I understood, Pujara is not another Dravid. Because is full of class and temperament
So much class..even the celebrations. The shake of the hand.
Pull at 1:32! Just to say in 2004 I was in a bad way, all of the bad feelings have disappeared and it is now a privilege to watch the game again with a happy mind. In 2004, I could not see the beauty!
Many Thanks for the upload.. If possible please upload Laxman's 178 scored at Sydney. There is no quality video of that inning on CZcams.
Thanks again !
Old days Good memories Two legends with Extraordinary Skills, Classy cricket
Seeing Rahul Dravid to get to a century with a six❤😮 6:34
Chilly winter time, waking up at 4am to see matches in winter vaccation....ah those where days .
All the beautiful commentaries about the duos. Beautiful beautiful cover drives, on drives!
Dravid and VVS All Class 💪
Man what a commentary team Bill Lawry, Ian Chappell, Richie Benaud, Tony Gregg
Now batting has become power game
These were the two dudes who demolish bowling with class strokeplay and dead defence
