Dravid is the true gentleman cricketer and richly deserving speaker at the lecture series in the honour of another gentleman cricketer and leader.Sadly, they dont make them like them any more. while cricket may thrive, the indian cricket is no more a gentleman\'s game, nor is there any one in that league
Thanks Dravid for a nice &clear talk on the subject.Pataudi was a captain who developed the confidence in his team members that they can win games against England,Australia,West Indies.He was instrumental in the growth of spin Quartlet.Batted fearless against Real fast bowlers.An ideal oneday /T 20 player.Took fielding to new level in Indian Cricket.I have bowled against him in nets at Delhi.
Rahul might have been known as the wall but after todays lecture I for one would consider him as a sage. Very constructive thoughts caring and covering several aspects of a cricketers' lives - orientation, physical growth, psychological counseling, grooming ethics, harnessing the skills, grooming the talent ... You have covered it all quite comprehensively. Kudos, Rahul.
Thanks Rahul for the MAK Memorial Lecture. You have covered every aspect concerning the game and we are sure in the days ahead we will see Cricket being played by more youngsters .
If the present-day cricket administration has anything like development on its mind then a think-tank with people like Dravid, Kumble, Sreenath, Laxman, Ashok Mankad, Sanjay Bangarn, Harsha Bhogle compared to as its nucleus can contribute for formulation of an action-oriented plan. With only politician-businessmen administrators at the helm, IPL like tamashas will continue to enrich BCCIs coffers. The day China chooses to play cricket, with their superb training approach, it may take them not more than a decade to displace top nations.

CORRECTION Pls read : “Harsha Bhogle [as compared to record-holders] as its nucleus” in place of : “Harsha Bhogle compared to as its nucleus”
