The third man

Sachin plays as he pleases, Saurav’s retired, and Rahul plays Ranji.

As I check the Ranji scores, many cricket worlds emerge – there’s clarity, beyond bias, more like a future truth, who will be the last man standing?

Good for Dravid, every now and then his sense of humour returns: asked about the dilapidated Delhi team that Karnataka plays, he reminds you of the Aussies.

There’s a test coming, it’s Rahul vs Sachin again.
