July 23, 2011

Praveen Kumar was asked after the day’s play whether he had worked on his wrist position, and he didn’t have a clue what was being talked about there.

Duncan Fletcher and Rahul Dravid

May 4, 2011

Rahul Dravid seems to be the happiest man upon hearing that Fletcher is to be the national coach. He was overheard saying: “He obviously comes with a great record, having coached international teams and a lot of great international players also.
