As he walked towards the dressing room, after guiding India to victory against SA in the crucial tie at Mumbai , Rahul Dravid stopped, turned around, and applauded the wonderful Mumbai crowd.
That, my friend, is the difference between an emotional guy like Chappell and a cool, calculating guy like Dravid. While Chappell got rammed for showing a finger to the morons, Dravid won a million hearts and made the morons of Kolkata feel like dirt, at once.
That reminds me of a story I read some where. A bull and his son were grazing on a hillock. The son spotted a bunch of cows grazing downhill. ‘Dad, shall I run down the hill and ***k a cow?’ the hot blooded calf asked the bull. The bull lifted his head from the grass, paused, shook his head slowly, and said, ‘No son. Walk down the hill. ***k them all.’
