Rahul Dravid & I.

Dravid 209*. Take it easy Jammie, you know what they do to Ranji high scorers in india #cricket

For RDX and me, that will always be 2 hours ago on TweetDeck. For that's when he declared the innings. He will always say, the humble lad that he is, he saw it on BoredCricket on TweetDeck, I'd like to think RDX is his own man.

Who declares Ranji innings, esp when you're batting with Sunil Joshi. But no, skipper wanted to go for an outright win, not one of those first innings lead qualifications.

Of course, there's a test series with Bangladesh. Dravid doesn't want to bat and bat, and miss that flight, does he?

But with a highest first class score of 270, didn't that cross his mind - when contacted, RDX said, he ideally wanted to declare the Karnataka innings when he was on 194, but he didn't want to upset a colleague.

Where is Sunil Joshi when you need him?

Sunil Joshi had his day some ten years back in Nairobi: He helped himself to five wickets in an ODI. Top that he bowled some six maidens. His figures 10-6-6-5.

Recall I wanted a six-for for Joshi, but that Nikhil Chopra took a few too. Anyway to hell with all that.

Sunil Joshi was part of the much loved Bangalore Royal Challengers test team of IPL1. We know what happened to CEO Charu Sharma, but what happened to Sunil Joshi?

Well, we’ll never know how he would’ve bowled in today’s game against the Bushrangers, will we? Then again, like VD Merwe, he’s a left arm spinner.

And Kumble would’ve only brought him on in the 17th over. Seeing as the game was won in 16, fat lot of good that would’ve done.

I reckon he would have been better off in IPL2. He's not much good out of Africa.
