Dravid is the man

Well, I was going to write on India but this photo really did catch my attention. Such aggression on the face of a person considered to be a very calm and patient guy was surprising. However, a series win against Pakistan in such a convincing fashion and that too after a loss in Test series ... banta hai yaar.
India has displayed the best works of the game in the last three matches and the credit goes to everyone. The combination of youth and old is awesome and the way the batsmen (especially Yuvraj), the bowlers (on such flat pitches) and most importantly the fielders (wow, what catches!) have performed has left everyone in awe and wonder.
However, we are yet to prove our mettle against the likes of Australia and England, especially on their pitches which is not going to happen in the coming India-England series (when will India get out of subcontinent against these teams???). The coming series will be more of a confidence building activity and I am expecting a clean sweep in Test series and pretty good chances of winning the one-day series win as well.
I just wish that Rahul Dravid doesn't turn into another Sourav Ganguly (the aggression and self factor) and also that India doesn't become complacent with the recent success (hoping Chappell, Dravid and Tendulkar will keep a check). Amen!
