How would you scare a batsman who has over 13000 test runs, heard all
kind of sledges, faced all kinds of bowling in all conditions?

A: Make him speak in public.

And knowing Dravid, he would spend countless hours preparing for this
speech instead of mentally visualizing facing Aussie bowlers or
mentally preparing for test matches.

Dhoni: Yo Rahul, how come I don't see you at the nets these days?
Rahul: Hey MS I have got this speech thing that I'm working on. Just
read these couple of books on Aussie cricket history. Six more to go,
a couple on Bradman and then I can start working on the first of the
64 slides that I plan on creating.

LOL! And he's the conscientious type who might well do that much
preparation.

LOL @ the original humor and bonus points for the code, including
correct use of this pointer.

Well India is full of coding coolies. Can't see the humour though.

That's easy for you to say. You don't see much of anything.

Lots of people don't get topical jokes if they're not familiar with the
topic. Most prefer to look it up rather than advertise their ignorance.

It's a lot more devious than that.

Dravid is too conscientious to neglect his net preparations, so he'd
listen to the book-on-tape while he's practising. And that's when the
embedded subliminal messages would begin their evil work.

"Your left toe will point towards mid-wicket when you on-drive", "You
will increase your back-lift by a foot" etc. You just see, Dravid's
technique would be shot to pieces in this trip.

Regards,
Jayen
