sp's moment: MI v RR

the organisers in their bid to make the game high scoring games (which they think will automatically make it interesting) have brought the boundary ropes so close that it has started to look like an extension of the 30 yards circle...

taking nothing away from pathan's blistering innings who played like a man on a mission contrary to his image... it was his first six that made me cringe...feeling for the bowler's role in t20...

the first six he attempted was clearly a miscued one... ball swirled in the air and so did his bat... the ball took an upper edge and on a normal ground would have been a straight catch down mid-on's throat...here it turned out to be a comfortable six... what followed was nothing but mayhem...

what could have been a prized wicket for murtaza turned up into a very expensive over... a cruel, cruel injustice...
