sandman taking on 50 people in a debate is btw,not hard to imagine :P

i too liked dada for exactly the same reasons,the fluctuations in performance,the controversies,the comebacks only added more colour to his character.that way,i find sachin pretty dull

I am surprised that I actually feel this urge to write, on his last day in international cricket, to give an account of sorts, of what it meant to be his fan

I have tried to say it too - but words cannot describe the rollercoaster ride - that of being a fan of Dada.

I have fought his corner on the BBC Test Match Special board - I took on the scavengers of sites who proudly called themselves ihateganguly[dot]brigade - and thanks to Dada's legendary comeback - can still hold my head up high.

and that would make rahul dravid a jedi master i guess....
i have stopped following cricket almost completely but i did briefly start again when ganguly was called back to the team... remember that..
now for some reason that dravid and ganguly seem to have a lot of ppl baying for their blood and i hate them all... most of all i despise sachin fans, the guy never came through ppl, these two atleast always tried...
anyways to cut a long rant short, now that ganguly has retired and dravid soon will(if he hasn't) i see no reason to keep following cricket.
oh and one last thing i do not really remember the specifics, but there was some match in a world cup i think against england prolly, and ganguly made like 180 and dravid made a 160, that inning was like the best batting that i had ever seen, ganguly would come down the pitch and hit his lofty leg-side sixes and dravid would hit four after four thru the covers... that was and will always remain the best display of batting that i ever saw......
