Bradman Oration

COMMENTS

'One of the things, Bradman said has stayed in my mind. That the finest of athletes had, along with skill, a few more essential qualities: to conduct their life with dignity, with integrity, with courage and modesty. All this he believed, were totally compatible with pride, ambition, determination and competitiveness'

But, there is one thing I firmly believe in: Indian cricket is yet to produce a bigger gentleman and a better mascot of the game than Rahul Dravid. Personally, I think Dravid is a better batsman than Sachin (no offences meant). So, it was great to see him getting the honor to deliver the oration.

This speech is a masterpiece, a few grammatical errors notwithstanding. It only shows how much of a thinking cricketeer Dravid is. The only other Indian cricketeer who could give a speech like this in my opinion, is Saurav Ganguly. Well done Rahul Dravid!

Our members of Parliament should be made to read this. Makes one proud to be an Indian -- and know that he is one too.
