Yawn….Boring stuff. That’s now what we want on the name of Test cricket. Please for God sake, no. We need an even contest between bat and ball. Not long scoring draws where every team would compete with each other how long wud it bat and how many records one would make. Great. Malik got a 50, his place secure for some time. Misbah cautious against M&M, Younis got a 100, perhaps 150 and even 5000 runs. But guys what about the result ? What about competitiveness ? What about level of cricket you play ? Karachi is one such venue which should be banned for international cricket. Flattest track in the world. In ODIs, in Tests. I think this Test series doesn’t even a post from me. But I wont say total no. When I get a juicy bit on my favorite Mahela Man I would write something.
By the way I am surprised to see charged up comments from few lads from SL on my previous posts. Perhaps they fail to understand that emotional comments arrive out of their end rather than from the Indian bloggers. I perfectly mentioned that I don’t dislike the individuals but dislike the brand of cricket SL play. Long batting just puts me off. Test matches aint meant for torture but for fun, they are for pure delight, test of character. Not meant for high scoring dull draws on a pitch where even I could score a 50. So I would request fiery SL supporters to kindly understand the pretext of the post and then think and then dish out the venom out here. Going back to 1996 or saying what Azhar did or 2007 WC debacle just doesn’t make any sense. World has turned upside down since then. So no point going there.
I am gonna write something next on India vs NZ series.
Alright the day 3 is over. M & M figures read : 79 – 16 – 170 – 2. Figures say it all.
