Dravid, the unsung hero

Such a pity that Dravid's magnificent rescue act in Ahmedabad got swept away by another Tendulkar tsunami.

India'sobsession with Sachin and statistics all but sidelined Dravid'sefforts, that in any case, were treated with typical disdain as if itwas just another routine innings from a man who most unfortunately hasbeen consigned to play the role of a bridesmaid in Indian cricket.
