There is no doubt that Sourav was not the most solid batsmen in the Indian line up but when on song that cover drive sure was pretty to watch. He was also the one that showed his team mates how hard they needed to compete on the world stage. Oz has lost a handful of greats and now India will too.

Forget all the controversies, Sourav was (or is until the end of the series) one of the most eye-pleasing batsman of his generation. He was the strongest "inflection point" of Indian Cricket after Sunil Gavaskar. Thanks for all the memories, Sourav - Good luck for the series and life beyond.
