Obligatory obituary

It would be easy to attempt to contribute to the growing number of glowing good-byes.

Rahul Dravid, alone of all sportsmen/women I know, tells me I can play at the highest level if I work at it.

To this day, via the career of Dravid, I believe if I practiced my forward defensive and straight drive enough, I would play for India.
It is a most useful metaphor.
