head coach of team india Rahul Dravid His team’s bowling attack was praised by all before their match against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup Super 4. Addressing a press conference, Dravid was talking about how India’s bowling attack may not look that attractive, but they get the job done. Trying to explain this, he stuck to one word, but showed a quick wit to get the message across without uttering it.
Dravid was asked about Pakistan’s bowling lineup doing well against India, and when he admitted that they have a good lineup, he defended his bowlers as well.
“Yes, he bowled well, I won’t deny it. Of course he is bowling well. But we also bowled well to restrict him to 147,” Dravid said.
“Yes, sometimes in numbers, it will show that someone bowled at 145 kmph, someone at 147 kmph, but at the end of the day, bowling analysis is most important.”
“Whether you’re bowling at 135 or 145 or 125, whether you’re swinging the ball or not, you judge by the results,” Dravid said.
“And the bowling analysis of our fast bowlers was also very good. So I definitely respect their bowling, but I am sure we have a very good bowling attack as well,” he added.
Then he began his next sentence “may not be like…” and then stopped.
“I wanted to use the word, but I can’t use that word, the word in my mind is coming out of my mouth, but I can’t use it,” Dravid said to entertain the reporters present.
A reporter asked if the word he wanted to use was “spirited”.
“No, not ‘enthusiast.’
Dravid concluded his reply by saying, “We may not look glamorous, but we have some people who deliver results.”
