"On the off side there's God, then there's

They have nothing in common. Saurav Ganguly. Man from the
East. Silken, flamboyant, McEnroe-ish. Rahul Dravid. Man from the South. Steely, cautious,
Borg-like. They have everything in common. Starting 1997, they were just hopefuls, raw,
uncelebrated; by end 1997 they were on magazine covers, signed million rupee endorsements,
couldn't walk an Indian street unmolested. And can they bat. Through the year Dravid had a
Test average of 57.88; Saurav 56.33. Hopefuls no more. |
