Rahul's Century and SRT's 132 !!
Rahul Dravid's feat of 100 tests could have almost have been 100 conseutive tests but he did miss one - Kumble's 100th test. Kudos to Rahul and I hope that he does something special in the Mumbai test. How about a quickfire 200?
In Rahul Dravid, the average Indian sees a perfect role model - Average physical build (not those WWF kind of chiseled features), Middle class brought up, Honest and down to earth, Intense and competitive and eloquent but soft spoken. Perfect profile for the millions of aspiring middle class Indians. Rahul just mirrors them in all walks of life, meets all the above expectations but still has gone to be a high achiever and there in lies the story of grit, determination, hard work and an ability to grind it out, against the odds. Hats off Rahul and my best wishes. Bring back that World cup in 2007 and fill our cups with joy.
SRT becomes the most capped Indian player, playing his 132nd test (one more than Kapil's 131). I hope that this grand occasion in his home town will chase the cobwebs out his mind and bring up the old Sachin back in his mind and blade.
