Change his real name as well as his nickname while you are about it. And instead of calling him Rahul call him David. David Dravid.

That way we could just call him Dave. Or Drave?

Or Dave Drave?

Motion carried.

Henceforth, Rahul Dravid will be somewhat confusingly known as ‘my older cousin, Kevin’.

On a different tack. Has there ever been a more inappropriately nicknamed cricketer? When I was a youngster I spent a great deal of time bowling at a wall. I do not ever recall it using sublime footwork to drive me through the covers. In fact the only real recollection I have is that any ball just short of a good length immediately resulted in a caught and bowled dismissal. I suspect my bowling would not produce the same result from Rahul Dravid. So could I suggest we give him the far more accurate moniker Rahul ‘my older cousin, Kevin’ Dravid.

To all the Sachin and Cricket fans-

Who can forget the 1999 World Cup, when he played even though his father passed away midway through the tournament? He took a break to attend the funeral and returned quickly to score a century, then looked up to the skies to seek his father’s blessings. It was a very touching and emotional moment for every Indian. The poignancy of that moment has stayed in the minds of all who watched that knock. I am no exception.

Stand up and cheer for the little master as World celebrates 20 years of his International career.

Dravid is such an amazingly correct batsman; when he couples that technique with aggressive intent, you get some of the most precise, powerful strokeplay possible. A joy to watch.

Clearly he’s sick of being a bridesmaid.

He looked so good today I wanted to weep. I have a horrible feeling that after this generation of players go so will the proper balance and exquisite grace of the cover and extra cover drive. I can’t think of any young players who can really do it the way Punter, Dravid, Sachin and co do.
