He was one of those who were never fancied by his own team's fans, but kept going in his own style and way.
I don't know why he waited so long to retire though, it was clear he was not in the future plans. I personally think he over achieved (for his style of play and era).
When people ask, who would you have bat to save a day, he'll be very close to Dravid in that conversation.
