Dravid & Laxman dominate Aussies in 303 run stand | From the Vault

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 YouTube 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

Those days when Dravid and Laxman were like a Dangerous Nightmare for the opposition. Two living legends!

[sakshambhati]

The techniques of Dravid and Laxman were just so textbook and perfect!!!

Rahul Dravid and VVS batting whole day + Tony Grieg's commentary =Pure CLASS.

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.

Dravid and Laxman were like rahu and ketu for Aussies in tests...😂😂😂😂

[LuciferMorningstar]

Lost my father in 2000...only joy for me was these cricket matches during those years

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.

VVS shots are poetry in motion. Such class

[MaverickMaratha]

This is pure Cricket. An excitement for 1-2 days.
Way better than the 1000 other 20-20 being played today.

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...

Dravid's backfoot cut was a treat to watch. These two have had some legendary partnership.

[amankalsi]

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.

[surajsrjal]

The crispness of the shots off VVS' bat.. what a duo..

[ashpal]

It's quite shocking that dravid hitted a six to complete his 💯. Amazing

[chinmaylenka]

Dravid, Tendulkar, Laxman, Ganguly 🔥🔥. What a middle order that was !! One of the greatest

[MrColossus]

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.

[divakarsingh]

I didn't watched VVS much, but after this video, he is a genius & class player for me.

[onkar]

What a classy stroke play form Dravid and Laxman Elegance at its peak 💙💙❤💥
