as you grow up... your body slows you down... what you used to do in a flash even in a subconscious state... increasingly requires a conscious effort... your reflexes that stayed by you like a true lover... start to part with you in search of a young companion...
you start to look more and more ugly doing your job and youngsters around you only enhance the effect... of effort... the predicament... in the watchful, glaring eyes of camera... fans...
in that light one has to see rahul dravid's latest 100...
it is not a coincidence that of all the batsmen struggling to score on this pitch... there is just only one centurion... rahul dravid...
the problem with class not being uprooted with youth of today in team india is that even when class is not at the top of its game... its giving you a hundred in most precarious situation... and who knows... win you match too that is played over five days of intense scrutiny...
when dady bat... kids watch...

Don't quite agree with the "looking ugly doing what you're doing" part. The reflexes aren't what they used to be 10 years ago and some issues have creeped in, but, still looks class when playing shots. Nice to see Dravid getting a long overdue century. Hope many more follow! Cheers!
ah! this is called writer's liberty mam... :)
yeah... hope its just the start of second wind...
well if the daddy bats like this in england as well, then swanns and tremletts have a big reason to worry!!!
welcome vaibhav...
daddy is going to be joined by lots of uncles in england tour... so don't worry... :)
The pitch was challenging but too many batsman threw their wickets away.
There were lots of talented young batsman playing in this game - the concern is that none of them really seemed to have the hunger to tough it out and make a big score.
Dravi's temperament sets him apart.
