Eoin Morgan is busy saving England from so called disgrace of loosing to Bangladesh. Bangladesh are a better team than what most of us think of them. As far as one dayers are concerned. Pietersen has been aweful for, quite a while actually.
India has beaten Pakistan in Hockey. Thats good news. If we win some more matches, Hockey is very much watchable game just because of its speed. Only problem is that, we loose too often.
One more thing, I was right. This Indian team has got a character. Trust me, its better days for cricket. Atleast 3 teams have very good players. Oz, India and SA.
Sachin made 200. he is sort of Lata Mangeshkar. Whatever he does appears so simple that it hides the whole complexity of the thing. You only come to know the difference once some other singer tries to do the same thing.
Its a rarity. We have 2 batters who are redefining the whole game. Completely. Sachin is a benchmark for technique, for attitude. He is the way it ought to be. The Ayn Rand phrase.
Sehwag is the anti-thesis of traditional(sic!) batsmanship. Hardly any footwork. But he has got eye as good as Sachin. Simple philisophy of batting. He plays to his strength. His effect is more than just the number of runs he scores. The ball stops swinging, spinning, bouncing. It just comes to his bat.
The assault he puts leaves deep scars for the bowlers. He is a warrior. His sword chops you if he gets his way. Its blood. Listen to what Murali spoke after the series. He kiiled Murali.
Sachin is different. He is the lover. The sheer beauty of his stroke making enthralls spectators, fielders as well as bowlers. Bowlers don't feel blood. There is still harmony between him and bowlers. While Sehwag makes the bowlers shiver.
