VVS Laxman in a fancy dress.
Rahul Dravid Remix
Keeper captain close in slip
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
One down open middle order flip
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
Dropped declare resign blip
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
Rahul Jammy Dravid Skip
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
Shooter target trigger click
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
One day no way go away hick
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
T20 not empty scored plenty tick
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
Coach’s boy, very coy, one big kick
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
Whipping boy, favourite toy, very, very sick
You did it all
Coz you were the wall
Soft spoken, invisible, just another brick
You did it all
Coz you were the wall

One down
Can we take a leaf out of that “Maa Ki” tour and get the wall of a player in first?
Or will it be the wicketkeeper-captain-material rated very highly by Greg Chappell?
If we indeed get the wall of the player one down, where will the Fake One Down Player play ?
Oh, it could also be Harbhajan.. The position is also called one drop, he did get one to drop down… the cameraman in the airport. So will it be him?
Who the @#$% is One Down??
Will there be anybody batting One Down for India?
Will he be for Real?
Return tomorrow evening, post match, for a postmortem.
BCC! "Wall"paper
In keeping with the recent wall mania, might I present a BCC! "Wall"paper? You can get a 1024x640* desktop background here:
I've also got the original 1680 x 1050 if anyone is interested. I originally made a smaller version of to be the background image of my twitter account (am I stalking you? Why aren't you stalking me? online only, ok...)
I am releasing this under a GPL license, so feel free to copy, modify and redistribute it in whole or part, if you want. I got the original Concrete background at Gnome Look, so if you're an ubuntu/linux fan you might be more interested in first having a look at this.
Think its hideous? Think its awesome? Tell me in the comments, at the worst I'll flame you.
*my screen happens to be 16:10, if you'd like 4:3 (1024 x 768) or other resolutions, please drop a line in the comments and I'll see what I can do.
India's Windcheaters in Wellington.
A measure of Dravid.
What were they thinking? Ten thousand bricks? Next, one million clocks around Chinnaswamy Stadium? To salute The Wall's long vigil at the crease.
