What is Haunting Rahul Dravid?

That Rahul Dravid is going through a bad patch no one is in doubt. But the way he is handling his game at the same time increases my already immense admiration for the man. Even in this patch of his career he can last enough balls that the players in the purple of their career would have been proud of lasting. And he scores a half century too to boot. That would have done his confidence a lot of good. And he is blunting tha attack, wearing them even...its another matter that the much vaunted middle order from where he has been shifted has not been able to take advantage of the situation.

For me, an unashamed Rahul Dravid fan, the sweetest moment of the tour irrespective of the result, will be Rahul acknowledging the cheers from the crowd on reaching his first run after facing 40 odd balls! That gesture summed up the man - his acknowledgement of his poor form, his humility and most of all his sense of subtle humour.

You are GOD Dravid! Cheerio.
