Rahul Dravid

Indians numbering over 1.21 Billion are obsessed with cricket and think that their heroes SRT, VS, MSD & Prince are Cricket and Cricket is these is players only, in that particular order. Our faith in Cricketing Gods is so unwavering; we continue to worship these national ZEROES and liabilities forever.

Other cricketing nations have different notions. They think Rahul Dravid is the invisible backbone and it is essential to deal with him in fair or foul manner to achieve complete white wash. Those who followed recent Test series, one off T20 and the just concluded first ODI against England cannot ignore the fact there is something very suspicious in the manner Dravid was given out repeatedly.

Recall what Ian Fleming said repeatedly in Goldfinger:

Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it's enemy action.

Whatever be the BCCI and individual perception on DRS system, the manner in which it is used or otherwise needs a thorough investigation.

The fact that our selectors inducted Dravid into ODI & T20 matches in the ongoing one sided matches in England, despite his retirement from these formats of the international games couple of years ago, is a testimony to Rahul Dravid.
