2 back to back ODIs, 2 back to back exciting ODIs. Only difference in the winners. Pakistan won on Sunday, Saffas won on Tuesday.
Pak won by 1 wkt, SA won by 2 wkts.
The results could have been alternate. Yet both this teams choked once.
Now the 4th ODI ownwards the story would be normal. Pak thrashing by big margin.
There is such a talk in the bookie circle that next 2 ODIs Pak are going to lose big. Also some bookies are believed to be betting on possible return of Shoaib Sania Mirza Malik in the ODI series for NZ.
One notorious lad for every series and then dump.
MoYo for England, Younis for Saffa, Malik for NZ. Who knows Butt junior might come up for World Cup had PCB imposed a ban on him, but its ICC.
SA have 7 ODIs to play before WC, India has got 10. NZ has got 10, Pak has got 7. Australia have got 8. England have got just 5. Sri Lanka have got 6.
Sri Lanka are quietly confident, Pakistan are loudly and quietly rowdy, Saffa are world known chokers, India are in league of its own, Kiwis are new Bangladesh, England is occupied with Ashes. Australia is caught up between Ponting and Clarke, with a desparation to win something.
Sri Lanka are expecting they would win 3-0 against Aussies and then every day we'd need to listen how good their players are coming up. I bet Thilina Masaraweera would play the world cup and none of Tharanga, Jayasurya, Chandimal, Lahiru Timmu(something), Maharoof would not be playing the world cup. Count Mendis Bow wow in that list too now that cheater Randi is the 2nd spinner who has grown leaps and bounds to become their main Test spinner since Chuck retired.
Ok enough of Sri Lanka bashing. Man I enjoy it.
Back home in Ranji trophy it was a battle of 2 losers. And biggest loser got the wicket of bigger loser.
Bigger loser, the fat man, the Borivli guy threw it away with a wild slog to the IPL cheat and ended up reprimanded from his captain who himself made yet another 100. Alas no Dilip Vengsarkar is watching you mian.
The biggest loser is strong contender for # 7 and bigger loser is contender for # 6 in ODI world cup team.
Biggest loser is next Gary Sobers, bigger loser is next Sachin Tendulkar.
Biggest loser took 4 for 189 runs in 56 overs. And he has got a double hundred too. 232*.
And he is also batting on 16 off 24. He would score big runs tomorrow and claim for # 7 spot in the upcoming Kiwi series.
He is Ravinder Useless Jadeja. Bigger loser is Rohit Sharma.
Ok so thats enough of bashing my 2 favorite cricketing entities:
1. Sri Lanka
2. Ravi Jadeja
Tomorrow its' Ijaz Butt's turn. His video blasting reporters on Lahore airport is ultimate one and my piece of entertaintment whenever I am deeply engrossed in work in the office. Thats good enough to make anyone laugh.
