Our favourite cricketers. Episode 14: The Cricket Couch

There was always something endearing about Rahul Dravid, a batsman that had the look on his face as if he was trying to solve a differential equation while going back and across.  I had heard about his domestic exploits but the 95 runs on debut at Lord’s when he started his recurring role as the bridesmaid, made me a believer. He perfected the role in one of the greatest test matches in India’s history at Kolkata (2001). He has kept wickets, led the country, written foreword to Steve Waugh’s book, scored gazillion runs, and all that quietly. Take note Chris Gayle.

P.S. The word count is 99. very apt for a write up on Dravid. The case of "just short". Cheers!

I also quite like him. I don't like the 'take note Chris Gayle' bit though. Pfft! Don't you be hatin' on Gayle.

@Rahul - Thanks

@mspr1nt - I'm not hatin' on your boy Gayle. Just saying that Gayle's got a lot to learn.

"Gayle will never learn"... Ha. You could say that about the entire WI team I suppose. But the man's got get his shit together for his own as well as WI's good.
