One
word has attached itself to Dravid wherever he has gone: gentleman. The
word is often misunderstood. Gentlemanliness is not mere surface charm -
the easy lightness of confident sociability. Far from it: the real
gentleman doesn't run around flattering everyone in sight, he makes sure
he fulfils his duties and obligations without drawing attention to
himself or making a fuss. Gentlemanliness is as much about restraint as
it is about appearances. Above all, a gentleman is not only courteous,
he is also constant: always the same, whatever the circumstances or the
company.
