He was the best. I agree with Sachin that we can not found another Dravid in world cricket. Now Dravid should be indian batting coach as he is best in technique of batting and he can develop good atmosphere in dressing room.

Its tough when a legend retires, especially one as prolific and graceful as RSD. May he enjoy his 'retired life'.

Yes, I am feeling a tad sad today, and without wanting to sound corny, my eyes are also a little watery while I type the comment. This is perhaps because I read what Sambit and Harsha have to say on the man, and whatthe man himself has to say on his retirement. Connect all three pieces and you will find that what Dravid is saying is a perfect reflection of what Harsha and Sambit have written in their farewell piece to Dravid: modesty, humility, humbleness, normalcy and an ability to articulate himself profoundly on the important Cricketing issues of the day. Ergo, the game didn't just lose a great character, but also its great statesman and spokesman. Sangakkara may wax better lyrical prose, but he would never match all the qualities mentioned above.
