Bored Boy: Samaraweera the bullet
I can’t wait for Samara to smash his first ODI six, obviously, neither can he. If you saw the ugly, cross-batted mistimed heave aimed at mid-wicket that landed at third man, and then landed him in the dressing room, you know desperation.
That shot against SA was clearly against the grain. Samara had already done the laundry and dirty work – he had shown patience, stalled a collapse that the lower middle order Lankans are prone to, be it in T20 or ODIs.
But there is a time when a man runs out of patience. After being shot, there’s one thing Samara knows, life is short, enjoy. But being a test batsman he also knows how to bore the hell out of you.
At that point, Samara’s two worlds collided, as did his bat and brain, the urge to hit his first ODI six clearly won over. Here’s to an ugly slog today. May it go for six.
IPL Spy in Colombo.
Listen to Danny Morrison: he calls a six a Maximum.
And his t shirt says 'one day all T20s will be IPL.'
According to Danny, 'that tested the fielder and it's gone for four.'
That would be semi-maximum, Danny, you're slipping.
2 Sixes = 4 Wickets
So Rohit Sharma won the "DLF MAXIMUM sixes" for hitting an unfathomable 2, yes thats double 1, sixes. The prize was a check for Rs 1,00,000... or 1 lakh... or $2000... or Rs 50,000 per six... or half a lakh... or $1000 per six
RP Singh was "
Wickets are cheap in T20s, but surely not that cheap... or sixes are expensive... but two of them? What if everyone just hits one, is the six that went the furthest? What if... ah duck it, who cares... its not as if we're talking about anything other than the sponsors getting an extra mention.
