Dravid the great
by Alok Sharma on Nov 16, 2007 01:35 AM

I feel very sorry for Dravid because there is no one to speak for him. Its a classic example of a good guy ending last.

When Dada was dropped all 10 crore bengalis were ready with their iron rods, and BCCI listened.

Dravid being a saintly person, never really had regional identifications. So for Kannadigas he is a marathi and for Marathis he is a Kannadiga! He has ended up in no man's land. This is sad because Dravid was the ultimate team man. Perhaps he would like that to be his legacy and will not want anyone to indulge in unruly behavior on his behalf. And certainly not because of any regional identifications.

I salute you Rahul. This UPwala will always remember you very fondly. I can't say the same about certain other members of the team.
