I dropped some of the catches which otherwise I would have banked taking on. People who played with me know how dropping catches disturb me. Nothing frustrates me more than dropping catches. If can get over with regard to my getting out easily. I can recover in 10-15 minutes but if I drop catches, it hangs on with me for long. It really hurts. But then I have to accept that as a slip fielder you do drop some,\u201d said Dravid, who has been an excellent catcher at the slip position.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about the sobriquet \u2018The Wall\u2019 attached to his name, Dravid said in a lighter vein that it was just a media creation in order to fill their headlines. \u201cI think they (journalists) set me up like let us put the Wall\u2026so that later we can put\u2026like The wall crumbles or weak foundation in the wall..incase he fails\u2026 for a good headline,\u201d said Dravid jokingly, adding that he never walked around thinking that he was \u2018The Wall\u2019. \u201cThey called up very fondly and I respect them,\u201d said Dravid.<\/p>\n<p>When asked about his best inning, Dravid said that there were many and that it would be difficult to choose favourite among the sons. \u201cThere are many. 183 in Kolkata against Australia with Laxman, 233 in Adelaide, couple of innings in Jamaica on a low scoring wicket, Headinly&#8230;innings Rawalpindi. But then choosing best among these is like choosing favourite among the sons,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Bangalore: <\/strong>Nothing frustrates me more than dropping a catch but then this wasn\u2019t the reason behind my decision on retirement, said Rahul Dravid to a question if dropping some easy catches in the recent times was a precursor to his decision on quitting international cricket.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[50],"tags":[225],"class_list":["post-3095","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-isn-front-stories","tag-rahul-dravid"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Nothing frustrates me more than dropping a catch, it hurts: Dravid - IndianSportsNews.com - Latest Updated Sports News &amp;
