rkt.india Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Salute to My All time favorite cricketer, Rahul Dravid, the best #3 in test cricket after Sir Don Bradman. :bow: Dravid- 'I would like to announce my retirement from international and domestic cricket' Dravid: 'Wonderful journey for me, many people to thank for believing in me' Dravid thanking his coaches, physios, selectors, captain and says he 'respects media's craft'- will miss most being part of a team Dravid: Was part of wonderful era of indian cricket- leave the game with great memories, thanks family- parents, brother, wife Dravid- Look forward to spending time with my sons samit and anvay and taking them to school! Thanks the fans for support! Dravid- I have played with sadness and also with pride..I have tried my best always BCCI President N Srinivasan-we have all been 'proud & privileged'-dravid has been a great player & a great role model..he is irreplacable Mr srinivasan's voice choking- thank you rahul for what you have given to indian cricket- we wish you well in non cricketing world Anil Kumble- glorious career, many memorable wins- I congratulate rahul- we have enjoyed every moment with you- been an honour Kumble: Dravid, a perfect ambassador for the game and a complete team man! Kumble- rahul committed to excellence- records only capture his contribution partly- perfect ambassador and ideal team man Kumble- committee expects to see you doing more administration! Dravid finally smiles! Questions now- these decisions just come to you in some ways, felt the time was right, needed to move on Its all I have known my growing life- I knew deep down time was right- was comfortable in what I had achieved, let next gen take over Dravid: Highs and lows part of international sport. Satisfied I always gave my very best, no regrets, very satisfied Dravid: have to learn to deal with criticism and praise as an international career..media has been kind to me.. Dravid: irrespective of how australian series went, I was going to assess..would have probably come to same conclusion Rahul Dravid: I've failed a number of times, but I've never stopped trying Dravid: wanted to take the emotion out of it, look at things dispassionately- spoken to sachin and all other team-mates Dravid: some of the guys I played with, my sons will realise in time how great they were, honour to have shared dressing room with them Dravid: there was no eureka moment for me, I gave it thought- you know this moment is to come to everybody Dravid: to keep playing for the sake of one test match wasn't right- needed to play for right reasons- played to win, only reason Dravid: I never really took being called 'wall' seriously- its a nice line- felt media was setting me up to say another brick in the wall :) "I never walked around thinking I'm any wall" - Rahul Dravid. Dravid: can't pick one innings as my favourite- you can't choose between your sons! Says didn't consider playing a season of domestic cricket- felt he would be blocking a youngster's place Dravid- have lived in a surreal world, want to have time to think- want to spend time with family, they will determine my decisions Dravid- 'my wife says need to get you in routine, maybe I will buy groceries, pick up kids from school, clean!
SachDan Posted March 9, 2012 Author Posted March 9, 2012 Dravid: irrespective of what happened in Australia, I would've come to same conclusion
