I have alluded towards my reverence for Rahul before.
Fifteen years is a long time. Sometimes it takes that long to set things straight.
More fulsome adoration will be reserved for other posts. For now, there’s not much to say except that England had to find a way around him, because they couldn’t get through him. One mistake aside, he was un-outable.
He hit a beautiful boundary to get to fifty, and with it moved to second on the all time list. There was no big fuss. I don’t even think it was announced on the PA system. No gigabytes of space, no tones of ink had been wasted in anticipation, and few will be spent in celebration.
I know his joy is mine, not the property of a hysterical nation. Yet he lends his pride and humility to us all. He is just so special.
England are on top after today. It was a good display by their bowlers, especially the under-the-cosh Broad.
But I still think we will draw this.
After all, we do have Rahul in our ranks, batting for us.
