Tribute to the Great Wall of India !!!!

Hello again, thanks again for dropping in here :-)..

 

Ever since, I read about Rahul Sharad Dravid or R S Dravid or Rahul Dravid or Jammy or the Wall (More Info::  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rahul_Dravid)  in 1993, I always knew that he had the perfect temperament & caliber to reach great heights.

Now, after 15 years of making his debut, I really feel he has done great justice to his talent with his sheer work ethics & dedication..

It was a childhood dream to see his name appear on the Honor’s board at Lord’s as in his debut match, he got out after scoring 95 on 22-June-1996 and after 15 years, 1 month & 1 day, finally, managed to see his name appear on the Honors board at Lord’s..

 

While scoring this century, he also became the 2nd highest run scorer in the Test Cricket history & surpassed Ricky Ponting 🙂

 

So, here’s a poem that I myself have written on the Great Wall of India 🙂

 

To bat with such amazing concentration Innings after Innings,

Is way Beyond anyone’s Imagining..

On Yet Another chilly Saturday, Jammy Made History,

As all of us in the cricketing world, saw him with Mystery..

 

On a Lively wicket, Dravid Does Sizzle,

& The Bowlers are in a Puzzle..

Bowl Short or full is the Dilemma,

As they Find his Batting Technique an Enigma.

Bowl short & he will duck to give the ball a Ticket,

Bowl full & he will spank you straight down the Wicket..

 

 

 

A Batsman of perfect Concentration, Subtle & Guile,

Combining Technique, Perfection, & Craft with Wile..

Soft Spoken, Humility is his Symbol,

When he bats, bowlers Tremble..

He is Cricketing history’s true Hero,

As he has made great Bowlers look like Zero..

 

His Defence (Defense) has tired many bowlers in to the Pavillion,

his heroism has sent whole team in to Obvilion.

His super & fantastic heroic achievement,

has made him man of the Moment..

 

Born in the Year of Nineteen Seventy Three,

his work ethics are for every one to see.

His love for the Great Tri-Colour (Indian Flag)

has always been proven in every rubber..

 

His motto to do the Unfinished job for others,

Makes him different from all others.

More Glory to himself & fresh laurels to the country,

May his Work Ethics inspire every one in the coming centuries…..

 

 

Rahul Dravid batted with a broken jaw at Jamaica on 15-April-2002 & went on to score his 10th 100 :-)… Man of steel !!
