Crawling through dark Cricinfo recesses (actually, not so dark because this information is just over a week old), I came across some truly Bored news - a 349 run partnership for the second wicket in a Delhi under - 16 match.
In a cup that seems to be named after a gentleman who passed away in what later became the Uzbek capital. Whatever.
Look a little closer, and move beyond the obvious Sachin-Vinod parallels. Lucky oye?
It should definitely bring a smile to your ugly face. Forget ugly faces, whole ugly districts of Delhi light up when you drop this surname: yes, the boy is named Sehwag.
Don't stop there. Take a right under the Naraina flyover.
Sample what the boy had to say about the partnership:
We eat from the same plate … we understand each other enough," Sehwag, the Delhi Under-16 captain, told the Hindustan Times. “We like to bat together.”
Now where have you heard that one before?
I didn't catch the name of the cup, is it really tashkent?
ReplyDeleteNo, its the LB Shastri Cup.
