Re: The Official Cricket Thread
Dravid has retired, I hope he continues to have a significant role in world cricket. In addition to his enormous cricketing abilities (which always seem to go under-appreciated by Australians who understandably preferred Sachin) he was without doubt the most dignified, respectable man in cricket for the better part of his career. A brilliantly intelligent man with a legendary work ethic, he ought have been their longtime captain but his ascendancy to the rule unfortunately came at a time where Indian cricket was in turmoil due to the squabbling between Ganguly, Chappell, Harbajhan and Sehwag.
