Rahul Dravid, a true Test match special
Tanya Aldred pays tribute to Rahul Dravid in the Daily Telegraph, highlighting his battle with Shane Warne during a low-profile county match in 2000.
Warne, who had claimed supremacy over Dravid, pulled every one of his multiple tricks; Dravid, who had claimed he could read Warne from the hand, watched, waited and masterfully dispatched; the holiday crowd who had paid just £9 to get in sat in rapt concentration. The winner? Dravid, with 137, 73 not out and a Kent victory to his name. And as he walked off after his 137, every Hampshire player, every spectator and every journalist, stood and applauded.
