Can this world produce just another Dravid, whichever country he may belong to, so that I can continue my romance with Test Cricket? I know, I'm asking for something near impossible. But it's a hope. Just a hope. Greed, may be.

stump. Leave. Dot ball. Late. Nudge. Two. Soft hands. Kill. Dot ball. Width. Cut. Tap. Single. Back again. Forward. Defend. Dot ball. Beaten. Dot ball. Forget. Off Four. Ball after ball, over after over.
The craftsmanship does not lie on the surface. Dravid's batting is not the stylish face of the clock, it's the moving parts inside.

And in England Dravid is th top scorer after Sir Don Bradman among overseas cricketers

Dravid is consistent as ever, Yuvi & yuvraj r trnding wit Asad Rauf & #trentbridge & as usual Dravid is missing.
@Sreesanth36
Quite simply a class apart from most. One of the greatest ever, fact
@Finn92
So.. Dravid has faced more balls than any other batsman in the world !! Speaks volumes for those balls... titanium balls ! #Dravid

Accenture should just hire Rahul Dravid. No one exemplifies HIGH PERFORMANCE, DELIVERED more than him

1999, Azhar to Rahul Dravid, "Sachin's not scoring runs off late. Will you do it ?"
-"Okay."
2003, Ganguly to Dravid, "We can't afford to play a keeper at the cost of a batsman.
Will you keep wickets ?"
-"Okay."
2005, Selectors to Dravid, "We don't want Dada in the side anymore. Will you
captain the team ?"
-"Okay."
2007, Kumble to Dravid, "India's on the verge of losing. Will you save the test ?"
-"Okay."
2008, Selectors to Dravid, "youngsters like Raina and Kohli need to be given a
chance. We can't have you in the ODI team anymore."
-"Uh.. Okay."
2011, Dhoni to Dravid, "I think I ought to have a bowl. Will you keep wickets again
?"
-"Okay."
"Gambhir has injured his elbow. Will you open the innings ?"
-"Okay."
Here's a man who has never been taught how to say "No".
And they call Mike Hussey "Mr.Cricket".
