maybe he was pissed off that he did not attend the function or maybe there is some deeper problem. or maybe it finally gets tiring when you've played your heart out winning and saving test matches, and the other guy sucks an unfair amount of oxygen out of the room while you go unheralded by an idiotic public.  we'll never know given dravid's gentlemanly reticence to air dirty laundry.

says the things you would expect him to say with some moving moments like his mention of laxman's calcutta magnum opus. also did not realize that ganguly and he actually like each other a lot. that much is evident.  however, the speech was jarring for the one name he did not mention. anyone else feel that way? wonder what the inside story is.

this is the retirement speech of one of the game's modern giants. save your malarkey if you can help yourself, for a different thread.

anil, dhoni, laxman and ganguly all spoke at this event and that's why rahul addressed them later in his speech. you can find their tributes to dravid on youtube.

Did he address only those who spoke before him ? Did he mention anybody else?

Since you already watched I will take your word and save some bandwidth.

let's not forget that dravid consulted SRT the night before this speech. let's not forget that dravid was talking to SRT through his own lean patch leading to ENG series. let's not forget SRT's advice to RSD on continuing to play when he was down. there is no bad blood between these two, multan or no multan.
