Kesavan on Dhoni

Mukul Kesavan, in fine form as always, writes on MS Dhoni and a Lord's test he needs to put behind him, and quickly. More to the point, Dhoni can.

Later, in private conversation, on matters related to the subject of my post yesterday, Kesavan, speaking on the triumphalism on display after the first test, said:

I think Boycott, Brenkley and the happily hyperventilating tribe of English cricket writers are enjoying a moment of virility. Given that the English team has been a troop of earnest submissives for the longest time, who can blame them?

Who indeed?
