Srinath and Manjrekar

At the end of today's match, Manjrekar and Srinath were discussing Dravid's captaincy and they concluded that even though India lost, he had done nothing wrong. Then, out of nowhere, Srinath says

Saurav, if you are listening to this, you are a good captain. But, Rahul is a good captain as well.


Obviously, that perked up Manjrekar and he asked Srinath

So, you think Dravid is a better captain?!!


That was followed by a moment of silence and then, Srinath (with his tail firmly in between his legs now!) says

Dravid is a good captain!


Got to love these guys! :))

Update:

Talking about ex-cricketers, here is an amazing story by another retired cricketer, Michael Slater, narrated in his soon to be released book Slats: The Michael Slater Story. For the benefit of those who did not know about the mental troubles he recently confessed to, here is a link about it. I don't know what his mental condition was when he wrote the above the story in his book!!

Cheers,
Harsha

Sandy, great to see you here! No dude, I'm in NJ. The power of the Internet ensures that the lovers of cricket are never kept away from the game :P
Anyway, I got to see only SL batting. Obviously no enthu to wake up at 4:30am to follow such a worthless series.
