The Master Batsman’s Masterful speech


Rahul Dravid’s ‘The Bradman Oration 2011’ is something to be read by everyone.  It is not often we come across a speech so full of mastery, knowledge, skill, resource, understanding, humour, emotion, and humility.  I could go on and on.  But it is for everyone, even if you aren't a cricket lover or even if you can’t tell the difference between Jiminy Cricket and a cricket ball, to read, at least once.  Period!

My Admiring half admits, ‘This will go down as (one of?) my shortest posts, because there’s really nothing for me to add.’
