The Valient Men - Puzzle

Two armies of four meet at war,
the valient men split evenly by the star,
When Mathematics' queen swung her magic dome,
the aura reduced them to a palindrome.

"We count on Dada"

Thus spake Rahul Dravid emphatically about Ganguly after the victory over the Lankans in the final match. It was perhaps a year ago that Mr. Ganguly found himself in the woods of the cricketing world. With his skill letting him down, his coach writing him up, with English Literature giving him an infamous crown(the word "ganguly" made it to the Oxford dictonary meaning "to come and go immediately"), his personal life being put under the microscope...and the list goes on. It struck when Mr. Ganguly, shedding the fangs of remorse, sitting in an empty stadium addressed the Nation with a "have you forgotten me already".
And today, he is having one of the most successful come-backs a sportsman can dream of. Each visit to the crease has been a resurruction of sorts, of a persona, of a skill, and most importantly of a career. Probably Oxford should change the meaning or atleast add a pun to the word "ganguly" now meaning "to go and come back immediately"!!
The only song that plays on my lips today is:
"Toota toota ek parinda aise toota, ki phir ud na paaya....jo bhi ho kal phir aayega"

Hats off..wait..no hats off to Mr. Ganguly. For, neither was his fall in fame his crime, nor is his resurruction, his heroic! This is a game of an up and a down, a crest and a trough...so aptly mentioned in this song. The heroic is to live it.

I do know if it is pre-mature to write this..however, I better write it better it is too late to notice.
