The Wall’ of Indian cricket
here are a few men we hate to see fall - one such man is Rahul Sharad Dravid, ‘The Wall’ of Indian cricket for decades. Many dream to do what Dravid has done with the willow – with which he fought many a battle to bring glory to Indian cricket.
Dravid with his warrior spirit oozed confidence from the very beginning of his career and made an entire generation fall for his sturdy and no-nonsense approach to the game. Dravid may not be a Tendulkar or a Ganguly or may not be as swashbuckling as Sehwag, but he is and will go down as one of the batting greats to have ever graced the game of cricket.
Somewhere in all these years of grind, Dravid never got his due as a player but none can question his loyalty to the team, nor can one ever say that he flinched while facing hostile bowling that has been dished out to him all over the world.
Such is the prize on his wicket that legendary spinner Shane Warne wrote in his memoir:
“The fortress could also describe Rahul. Because once, Dravid was set, you needed the bowling equivalent of a dozen cannon firing all at once to blast him down.”
Statistics say that Dravid after Allan Border faced the maximum numbers of deliveries in Test cricket – this tells us how much Indian cricket is dependent on him.
Year after year, Dravid has been consistently scoring runs and winning matches for India at home and abroad. No other Indian batsman has saved or won more Test matches than Dravid, but he has never received the accolades that he so rightfully deserved. Lack of laurels has never been a deterrent to his motivation; such is his love for cricket that Dravid like a humble servant of the game continues to labour every single day to bring honour to Indian cricket.
After Sachin Tendulkar, he is the only Indian batsman to score more than 10,000 runs in both forms of the game. But Dravid has always been the man behind the curtains and our board too hasn’t been kind to him. From being forced to keep wickets when India missed an all-rounder to being given the captaincy when it had no takers, Dravid has done all that he could do for the country.
It’s bewildering that there was no media hype and fanfare when Dravid went past 11,000 Test runs to become the fourth highest run-getter in Test cricket. Maybe we have failed to see the perfectionist in Dravid or maybe we just have a penchant for imperfection.
Is Dravid destined to play the quintessential role of the supporting hero eternally? He does not seem to have a problem with donning this role as long as the team wins. But I do have a problem with this as a true player like Dravid deserves to be up there with the greats of the game.
Hopefully his lack of runs in the Sri Lankan series doesn’t force the selectors to overlook him for the Australia and New Zealand series.
It’s a pity that from now on we will get to see less and less of a legend called Rahul Dravid.

India invites Pakistan minister for Games
India's foreign minister has invited his Pakistani counterpart to watch the Commonwealth Games, which begins on Sunday, and said he hoped it could also give them a chance to carry forward their peace dialogue.
"Foreign Minister (Shah Mehmood) Qureshi is most welcome to witness some of the Games at least, and there again give us a chance ... to continue the dialogue," S.M. Krishna told NDTV news channel in comments aired on Wednesday.The two sides are trying to improve ties that plummetted after the 2008 Mumbai attacks which killed 166 people and derailed a sluggish four-year-old peace process with Pakistan.
Krishna and Qureshi's held peace talks in July and those ended in acrimony over the attacks, even though the dialogue itself is seen as a tentative step toward improving ties.

Sharing name on US watchlist, Patel is stopped at O'Hare
Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel was stopped and questioned by US authorities at the O'Hare International Airport in Chicago on Monday because of a peculiar mix-up � the US has on its watchlist a man with the same name and date of birth as Patel.
While the Ministry of External Affairs usually counters this situation by informing US counterparts of Patel's itinerary well in advance, a sudden change of travel plans of the minister caught the Chicago authorities unaware, resulting in this rather embarrassing situation.Patel was questioned at O'Hare. He was not carrying a diplomatic passport but a personal one. So when he did tell the authorities there that he was a minister in the Indian government, it did not work. The Indian consulate in Chicago had to intervene and phones had to be worked before he was allowed to proceed.
Patel was on his way to Montreal via Chicago for a conference of the International Civil Aviation Organisation. He later sought to play down the incident. "I am in Montreal, nothing serious has happened...There is a person with a similar name and birth date, that is why they double-checked," Patel told The Indian Express.
This is not the first such situation for the Minister � he landed in a similar spot earlier in New York. This time, the mix-up happened because Patel's original itinerary, involving travel from Europe to Montreal via New York, changed suddenly and he personally booked a ticket to fly via Chicago. With no prior information on the Indian minister, authorities at O'Hare stopped him.

Ayodhya ruling tomorrowAyodhya ruling tomorrow
Noting that the call for reconciliation had come 50 years too late, the Supreme Court today dismissed a plea to defer the verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title suits and cleared the way for the Allahabad High Court to pronounce its judgment.
The Lucknow Bench of the High Court is now free to deliver the verdict any time before or on October 1 when Justice D V Sharma, one of the three judges on the Bench which heard the case, retires.Just 24 hours before the High Court was to pronounce the judgment on September 24, petitioner Ramesh Chandra Tripathi got a divided Supreme Court Bench to stay the verdict to initiate last-minute settlement talks. He had cited apprehension of communal tension in the aftermath of the judgment.
It was at this juncture of indecision in the apex court that Chief Justice of India S H Kapadia decided to hear Tripathi's petition today at the head of a three-judge Bench comprising Justices Aftab Alam and K S Radhakrishnan.
At 2 pm, after a half-day-long hearing, the Bench dismissed Tripathi's petition without offering reasons. The order in a single paragraph put an end to the "uncertainty".
"Having considered detailed arguments, we are of the view that the special leave petition (of Tripathi) is to be dismissed. It stands dismissed," the court said.
The decision may be a result of submissions made by Attorney General G E Vahanvati, called forth to "assist" the court, that the government does not want the "uncertainty" to continue as the "law and order machinery cannot sustain this state of continued animation".
It may also be the outcome of the words of senior advocate Soli Sorabjee who said "judges have to deliver judgments according to facts, law and conscience, they shall not worry of the consequences". Then again, the arguments by various plaintiffs, including Sunni Central Board of Waqf and Hindu Mahasabha and with the exception of original plaintiff Nirmohi Akhara, who strongly supported the pronouncement of the judgment and considered Tripathi an "alarmist".
The day started with Tripathi's lawyer Mukul Rohatgi warding off criticism of his client being a "non-serious player who never attended court hearings". "He is 73 years old. An old man who lives near Ayodhya. He could not travel 120 km to attend court every day," he said.
Alleging that the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992 led to the Bombay serial blasts, Rohatgi said reconciliation was a better option but his client needed time to bring "hardened" litigants together.
A judgment, he said, would see one of the parties coming to the Supreme Court in appeal, only to "remain here for long years". "The High Court should have also tried (for settlement) rather than saying you (litigants) talk and then come to us," he argued.
He blamed the Centre for "meekly sitting through the prolonged litigation" despite its powers under the Acquisition of Certain Area at Ayodhya Act, 1993 in which land would be "vested" with the government to propose building a temple, a mosque, tourist amenities and other public utilities like a library.
"The government was on a secular path in 1993, providing for both communities to co-exist. Why has the Central government kept quiet all these years? A proactive stand was necessary from this government," he said.
Rohatgi argued it was "wrong" on the part of the Supreme Court's Constitution Bench, in a majority judgment in 1994 on a Special Reference from the President, to construe that the Act only gave the government powers of "limited vesting", that is, the authority of a Statutory Receiver to manage the disputed land until the High Court decided the title suits. "If the 1993 Act provided the government powers, why did it keep quiet?" he asked.
To this, Justice Alam said: "Why were you quiet all these years?"
Rohatgi responded by saying "how much can one man do? And now I am running against time."
"You are running against time because you woke up late, 50 years late," Justice Alam said.
"But My Lord, a stitch in time saves nine. Consider me now," Rohatgi answered.
He said Justice Sharma's retirement was hardly an impediment as under Order 20 Rule 2 of the Civil Procedure Code, a judge can pronounce a judgment written by his predecessor. He said if mediations are conducted under the government or the court, the present judgment can be placed in a sealed cover and read out once the talks fail. "In extraordinary situations, the courts have also innovated," he argued.
The Nirmohi Akhara said it was against indefinite continuation of the litigation but favoured a "time-bound deferment". It said Justice Sharma's tenure could be extended by six months or a year. It even agreed to start talks with the Waqf Board, the other title contender.
Senior advocate Anoop Chaudhary for the Waqf Board said Tripathi had got it wrong when he said the 1992 demolition was connected to the Bombay blasts.
Senior advocate Ravi Shanker Prasad, appearing for Dharam Dass, said let the court decide the suits and then the Centre will see that the order is followed. "The old man came to the Supreme Court, though at the last moment," he pitched in.
Sorabjee, appearing for All India Muslim Personal Law Board, said: "We are 100 per cent for settlement, we are 100 per cent against the delay of judgment. What is this settlement, what are the terms� there should be some degree of realism."
"The possibility of a lunatic fringe fomenting trouble does not mean that the judiciary should be held at ransom. It is the Games now, later it will be Obama's visit," Sorabjee said.
Vahanvati countered Rohatgi's version that the government was "meekly sitting" all these years. He said the government was bound by the Rule of Law, by the 1994 Supreme Court decision that it should don the role of a Receiver.
"In 2010, Mr Tripathi wakes up to say that the 1994 decision is wrong. The Central government did not sit 'meekly', I repeat, 'meekly', and appoint a Receiver. What else is the government supposed to do but respect the Rule of Law?" he said.
Calling Tripathi's suggestion for an extension in service of Justice Sharma as "incredible", he said it was not up to the government to decide this issue but the Chief Justice of the High Court concerned or later the Supreme Court Collegium.
"So far settlement has not taken place, but we do not want the uncertainty that is here today to continue. The law and order machinery cannot sustain this state of continued animation for so long," the AG spoke for the government.
