Indians missiled

When Sri Lanka loose, its fans pelt stones on Indian fielders. Not first instance but 2nd in last 3 ODIs. Sour eggs ? May be a few but they rot the entire basket. Poor umpiring, stale captaicy, few rotten eggs in the mostly cheerful crowd...Wats up SL? I understand their apathy, but why target Indian players?

9 in row.

9 in row. National record. Well done India.

No Sach, no Veeru, no Yuvi....Never mind

Dhoni and Gautam do it..........

Unfortunately for SL Kulasekara does the hitting much for putting MJ and KS to shame....What does he do ? May be he shud step down or take a break and think on whats going wrong. And for god sake stop speaking. I puke when I listen him saying same things. "Character", "wikat","guys","blah blah"..............

What now for SL ? Where do they go ?

And please take away torturous commentators barring Sunny. Give Sivramkrishna a citizenship of some lonely island with no cricket coverage. He tortures big time. 5-0 in cards. My prediction comes true. Somebody scoffed at me for this prediction.
McGrath didnt get his prediction right. I would get :) So am I new McGrath ?

Fixed pattern for LBW fails....

Kulasekara to Gambhir, no run, appeal for lbw, pitched outside leg stump and moved into Gambhir, was also a touch high as he tried to whip that away towards square leg

Unfortunately Kulasekara didn’t get that today. May be no Sachin there, may be no Gamzie there.

Pattern the same : pitch anywhere, ball hits the pads anywhere front of stump, scream large and large and huge, umpire frustrated would give out. Worked so far, did not this time, future not sure. Anything can happen in SL cricket.

If not Sach, then Sehwag. All for you Gamzi!!!

Mahi had enough of Gamini’s poor decisions.  So he dropped Sachin.  Now who would be the victim of the poor decision ? Mahela would wish its Sehwag.  He has been thorn in their flesh.  And the best Indian batsman in ODIs since long time. Yes Yuvraj and Gambhir too, but Sehwag is a class apart.

Gamini would love to give Sehwag out when he is not. If not the master, then his clone. 

"India isnt that superior"

“don't think India are far superior but they are playing really good, consistent cricket with bat and ball. They've got bowlers who are in form and at the same time 4-5 of their batters are in form as well and are actually taking control of things.”

Really Mahela ? India isn’t that superior ?  147 run loss is your worst at home.  Mendis and Murali have been pedestals and look like club bowlers. Still you feel they aint superior.  Positive talk and intent is always good, I owe to learn that from you. But acknowledging the problem and not denying it is always good. That’s the first step to being positive to bring about the change to the grey area you have in the team, be it cricket or  a project team.  You lead an international team well famed and I lead a small team in some part of India.  Our job is same. So some advice free of cost to you, hope you talk less and deliver more.

Priceless KP

Perhaps the captain coach row was blessing in disguise for peerless and expensive pricelesss Kevin Pieterson in the less followed England WI series. He blazes off to 97 and then throws wicket away. But that in a way proves his commitment lies with England.... More price now expected in IPL auction..

An Ashes year never got so chaotic with Poms caught in captain coach row and the Awesome Aussies caught in their own mess. You scoundrel Ponting, you are a cheat!! Accept it. Would make hell lot of souls happy at least in blogs world :)

SMS row and Yuvraj

Ponting says he got an sms from Dan Vettori for apology on Haddin gate. Vettori says he didn’t send any such sms. Vettori boy is furious. Why so much of hue and cry when Vettori won the first game ? Is he thinking that Aussies would be fired up and would win the rest of 4 ? Or is he thinking that he can cry sympathy and get more reeling for poor Punter who is forcibly rested.

I miss the usual sights of Awesome Aussies with sights of Gilly, Pidge, Warney, Langer, Tugga and Junior. Yes of course Punter pulling the ball through to the fence. I have enjoyed that every time except when they do it to India. But it’s a matter of time when Aussies do come back. The NZ side is getting wrong boost to their confidence. We are due to play them next. So we might not want them to get more confidence boost before the series gets underway end of the month.

Meanwhile it was double delight to watch Yuvi and Sehwag damage the Lankan confidence especially Mendis and Murali. It might well would have destroyed the aura of Mendis and he might turn to spinner next door. No Warne, no Kumble, we need talismanic spinners. Mendis was “assumed and supposed to be one”, but no more now. Even delicious aspect is Yuvraj shed his inhibitions against Mendis. 3 100s in 8 games we have won. Amazing. He is sure Dada’s successor in the Tests as well. Indian cricket just got richer with or without Shilpa Shetty ‘s “toned down” figure in Rajasthan Royals.

Bottomline....

I am simply an avid Indian supporter and even moreso a Tendulkar supporter. Thats the bottomline and reason for fiery posts ever since this one sided series began...

Lankans blown away......

Do whatever, claim Tendulkar when he is not. Talk crap in the media with "character" and "pride in the boys" or "dirty players", you are not gonna win even a single game. And then Sanga goes in cheapest of way possible. Is that a vice captain supposed to do ? Rather than fight a lone battle, leave the field and run away.

And now they send Chuckali up the order. Ridiculous? Insane stuff. And he is out. 8 gone. A big thumping win around the corner. 4 for Ojha. Not sure if he has arrived. 9 gone. Tendulkar takes it. Minnow hunters reduced to a minnow.

Mahela shoud step down now.

8 in row for India. Equal their own record of 2003 WC.....Bow Wow Ex splendid Mendis on the field :)

Unfortunately cheating doesnt help guys. Be it for so called Haddin or Mahela jaywardhena. Lets see what blabbering the idiot does today. Fuck u idiot!!

M&M no more a threat

Murali and Mendis, no more a threat. Of course they never were, but whatever aura they had, its all down the drains now after an amazing assault from Yuvraj and Sehwag. Though one of them should have carried on till the end. Splendid Mendis, ohooooo. 53 runs in 8 overs and a wkt. Chuck goes for 55 runs in 8.2 overs and just a wkt, though equalizes the record, but whats the use if leaking the runs ? I am happy. But the duo should have ripped apart the SL bowling like a butcher pair. Go get the revenge for poor umpiring for Tendulkar. ICC taking a note ? May be India should lodge a protest against the umpiring like they did in Sydney 08. Why do all cheats come India’s way ? Have lost the count of umpires who all have given Tendulkar out when he was not. Bucknor the most famous and crooked of them.

2 for 111 in 17 overs are the combined figures of M&M.

There are no words enough condemning the 3 in row dismissals of Tendulkar. Silva or Dharmsena, the poor insane individuals have no right with half baked cricketing knowledge to judge Tendulkar out. They should tender an unconditional apology from Tendulkar like Rudi did it for Sangakara. But then are they gracious enough to accept their mistake ?
