Etceteras...

If someone thought it was Sachin and Sehwag who busted the kiwis yesterday, well, I thought Dravid was the one who broke their confidence completely... Sachin was brilliant and Sehwag was responsible (a pleasant surprise)... But Dravid was demolishing (ever associated that adjective with him?)... Take this from me because I was in the ground yesterday, watching Dravid put that ball away with disdain... One six, over square leg, off Oram, will remain etched in my memory forever... Flat and hit with tremendous power, it did not even cross the height of the stands in the small LB stadium before hitting the roof of the square leg cameraman's elevated platform... what a shot... the speed with which that ball travelled was a sight to see... whoever called dravid a wall, please rechristen him as the "bouncing" wall... for whatever the kiwis threw at him came back with twice the speed... long live this unsung, underrated genius of indian cricket...
