Martin Reveals Dravid Connection in Cricketing Rise


By Ashish Shukla

North Sound (Antigua), Jun 14 (PTI) West Indies leg-spinner Anthony Martin, who produced a career-best spell in his team's win over India in the fourth ODI, said bowling to Rahul Dravid five years ago led him to believe that he could have a career in international cricket.

"There was this practice game against India in 2006.

Dravid hit my first ball for a four and was gone off the second, caught in the slips," remembers the leg-spinner whose 4/36 led to India's 103-run loss in the fourth one-dayer here yesterday.

"I remember telling myself: 'Hey, here is this batsman who I watch thrash international bowlers all over the world on television. If I can pick him, I can play international cricket'."

"It was also a game where I took Virender Sehwag's catch.

The man just stood in the middle and didn't want to leave the pitch.
