Arrividerci, "Jammy"
Rahul Dravid will be dearly missed. Probably the last real test batsman has now retired from International Cricket
Never been a fan of the Indian Cricket team, but this guy was a true class act. His numbers speak volumes for him (13 thousand runs at an average of 52 in tests) - but it was more his incredibly proper batting techniques that will be missed. Batted in the middle, batted at the top, kept wickets, and when the supposedly "exciting talents - the future of Indian Cricket" were struggling in England last year, he batted with unmatched grace - and struck three hundreds. Add to that the world records of 210 catches in tests, and 19 century stands with Tendulkar, plus the nearly 11 thousand runs in ODI's.
My most recent fond memory of him was last year when he played his debut AND final T20 against England, and I was rooting for him to do something amazing. He didn't disappoint anyone. Struck 3 back to back sixes off a spinner (possible Samit Patel) before getting out.
Salutes to you, Rahul! You will be missed.
