When the going gets tough....

For a country obsessed with Sachin and his zillion centuries, let us not forget the great contributions of Laxman, Dravid and Kumble. For test cricket is the cricket which separates men from boys. They are the men who show us what it takes to stand in a pressure-cooker sitiuation. With nerves made of steel and heart full of grit, they show us the true meaning of determination,concentration and discipline. And owing to their low-profile behaviour, they never get the media attention, unlike Her Highness Rakhi Sawant or Her Highness Dolly Bindra.

But you guys have earned a place and a lot of respect in billions of hearts. And perhaps you know that it is bigger than anything. Carry on guys, in this era of Kalmadis and Rajas, you are our only hope.
