Honestly average book and stops in 2007!
I don't know how this managed to come to the audible colllection. No personal life mention, just the main matches and the main points like this or that record.

Good Book
A nice book but the narration at times becomes weird when the narrator is trying to imitate different people giving their views on Dravid. The narrator also struggles to properly pronounce the names of some Indian cricketers and some Indian (hindi) words.

The Greatest Wall in Cricket
If a person already didnt know than he would by this book why Rahul is called the wall or Mr reliable. Ofcourse you get a different kind of high when you get to see games in which batsman such as Sachin and Brian get going. But giving yourself to what your team needs, really shows the quality of this not so much sung hero.

Excellent compilation of Rahul's achievements!
The narration is fantastic.. Voice modulation (sometimes a bit unrealistic) gives variety into listening.. The chapters are organised nicely and it was definitely a gripping narrative!

Gemstone
Although the book is a biography of the legends playing days, it details a lot of events. I expected a little more on reflection or comments from Rahul Dravid himself

Excellent anecdotes, poor narration
Inside insights into the cricket side of things was good.Narration was really poor. The narrator couldn't pronounce names right and attempt to imitate accents while quoting others was poor.

No mention of personal life of the legend
Everything is fine. But as a fan of this great gentleman, I would have loved to know more about his personal life along with his career.

Good Recall of the Career Journey of Rahul Dravid.
Sounded more like an aggregated commentary of the matches that Rahul Dravid has played, more than a biography. Has a lot of potential to explore the mindset, and decisions that the cricketer took, but there is little deep dive.

To many statistics and less emotions.
the narrator was good, but the story was all about Rahul's career and not much on his personal life which would tell us his secret on how to be a gentleman that he is.
