Bye Bye Dada

Wonders galore when a non-performing ass(et) is kicked off from a team can very well be gauged from the complete transformation undergone by the "Men In Blue" against the cricketers from Emerald Isle.Dada's exclusion, whether by fate or otherwise seems to have done a world of good to "Team India",the very team he painstakingly built (as claimed by his fanatical regional bhakts).

Considering that Indian team was reeling from the aftermaths of the betting scandal,Dada did a good job no doubt.But why is he given the credit when there were others involved.John (not John Abraham more popular as the muse of Bipasaha Basu), John Wright to be particular and his support team had large part to play.Definitely, India did well under gangu's captaincy,but it was also the period when Dravid,Sehwag and others were at their prime.He blooded youngsters Yuvi(he better move to acting with his dashing looks ..Maybe his starlet girlfriend Kim may help him land some roles),Kaif,Sehwag,Harbhajan..Thats ok..but what other options did he have?
I would not have become such a big Dada basher had his caustic row with Chappell not surfaced..he went public when there was no need to be so vocal..everybody knew he was down in the dumps(to hell with "for is temporary,Class is permanent")..his ass was to be kicked out of the team ..he made a valiant painstaking century against the most "lethal" gully bowling attack in the world.and lo he goes to town proclaiming his return to form..and attaking Chappell..That was the worst and most probably his last blunder in his cricketing career..No favoritsm,regional bias,no Dalmiya could save his ass then.

God I'm so relieved that Dravid has made good use of the limited opportunities he has got..Maybe now that the series has been clinched, dada can enter the team as a "Super-sub" in ODIs or better still as 12th man in tests, bringing drinks for the team he nurtured..that'll be retribution for the time when he rejected taking drinks for the team early in his career!!
