Thank you Sir, its been a pleasure to be a witness to your career Goodbye and all the best with your future endeavours in life. :sniffle: :bye: PS: Mods, if Laaloo or any other Tendu bhakts decide to spam this thread with their usual nonsense, please delete.
prinzo Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Great batsmen in test, I still remember him hitting Allan Donald for 6 over the bowlers head long time ago in a test match at wandered JHB, SA
CG Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I will always remember dravid as being perfect rolemodel and true gentleman in the game of cricket and indias best captain.
G_B_ Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Even though i am a mumbai fan a big part of me wishes that RR win this to give Dravid the send off he deserves. Sachin has the world cup. It always bugged me how Dravid and Laxman retired. In the aftermath of a depression in Indian cricket. The bcci should have hosted Zimbabwe and given Dravid and Laxman the send of from the format that made them they deserved. Goodbye Dravid and it is my hope that he remains with cricket in an applied capacity. As coach mentor or something like that.

FischerTal Posted October 6, 2013 Author Posted October 6, 2013 this innings was ruined by Maninder Singh and Charu Sharma's commentary Nonetheless an epic knock by the great man of Indian cricket
Scarves Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 When I think of Dravid best mmeories are. 1. vs Aus in 2001 Kolkata 2. vs Aus in 2003/04 Adelaide 3. Batting on 18 for about 90 minutes before getting a run to get to 19. He was a class player that India could rely on. He would bat at 3 and just was a top player. Indian cricket will miss him but he will be still in cricket in some other form. Everyone around the world love him and Laxman.
Soorma_Bhopali Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 I remember watching him first in 1996 on tv playing singer cup odi series in Singapore.this was just after world cup . He got out for 0 in that ODI and quietly retreated to the tent like players area .how time flies ? I remember him most for hitting the winning runs while winning the Adelaide test in 2003 , epic partnership with lax man while winning 2001 Kolkata test and playing incredibly well as a batsman/wicketkeeper during the India's run to final of 2003 world cup in SA in pre-dhoni days.

JaFanatic Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Isn't it SRT's last match as well? for IPL :((
Laaloo Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Goodbye :sniffle: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . yeah right :finger:
Trichromatic Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 Why don't players continue playing FC cricket after retirement from international cricket? I guess Dravid is still good for that.
G_B_ Posted October 6, 2013 Posted October 6, 2013 and take up a promising youngsters spot? Dravid though needs to get into coaching
