Grey winter morning . Sun was feeling cozy in it's cloud cover but i was up early even though i didn't have college .Reason:Test cricket is back !! . It was nostalgic getting up early to read pre-match articles in the newspaper and then crawling back inside the quilt to watch the match. Indian batsmen helped consolidate that feeling by finding themselves in a very familiar situation of 27-2 and then even worse 32-4 . Stage set for a typical Dravid inning and boy did he deliver it in style. The whole nation has been going crazy over Sachin lately with him completing 17k runs in odis ,nearing 30k runs over all ,nearing 20 years in test cricket and probably any other record that you can think of . With Sachin assuming the position of God in Indian cricket people like Dravid are forgotten very easily and they still have to toil hard for any appreciation though criticism comes early targeting age and fitness. Today's inning was both typically crafty and strangely imperious from Dravid . Quintessential cover drives and aesthetically pleasing straight ones were accompanied by perfectly placed pulls ,cuts and aggresive footwork against the spinners . I dont know how many people enjoy it but his forward defense to the in swinging ball from left arm seamers is a treat to watch(The same delivery which was responsible for India tottering at 32-4). Had to miss a part of the inning due to some errands . Darn u CAT..but good news is that he is still not out and good for another double maybe....Keeping my fingers crossed .
