India to field weakened side for second game
After a second string side beat New Zealand in Guwahati, the selectors are determined to pick an even weaker team for the 2nd one-dayer. Virat Kohli continues to be a spoke in the wheels, staying the selection of India’s next great batsman, Rohit Sharma. A selector who claims to be from no zone in particular yet always in the zone, claims Sharma’s selection will have a long term impact on where India will be ten years on, whereas Kohli is scoring all these hundreds now, but lacks the staying power of a Sharma. He further added that Twenty20 will be the only format played in 2020, for which Sharma is a must-have.
Naturally the return of the two Ys, Yuvraj and Yusuf, is not entirely a cricketing one. The selector says, Yuvraj fills the stands faster than free passes to the girls while Yusuf’s monster hits into the stands make the spectators feel like they’re an integral part of the game. Can you imagine holding a freshly smoked ball, that too by Yusuf Pathan? The board is in talks with a chewing gum company to have the gum pasted on Yusuf’s 6s. Bubbles will be a bonus.
To make the next match far more competitive, Yuvraj will not bowl, will Yusuf will bowl his full quota of ten overs.
Game over
A few days back you had to see Jadeja, Praveen and Ashish Nehra not being able to score 3 runs.
Now here they are scoring over 100!
The noose is around the Indian team's neck. Praveen and Jadeja have decorated it to make it look a bit better.
Fancy that... Couldn't score 3 but can score a 100. Good effort boys. That's what you call a real slap and a giggle.
Australia have sent their entire cavalry to India. One more man down and you will have their school children playing and kicking our butts. The medical tourism department of India failed to cache in on the opportunities. They would have made a killing over these freaks instead they are happy harassing poor Sanjay Bangar.
Doug Bollinger takes a fiver. Very well deserved sir. He watched as Siddle jumped the line over him. I always felt he was the smarter bowler of the two and both are going about quite nicely. His number came and he said “five”.
As for India's defence of 170, I have a premonition.
Dhoni bowls and takes 7. He snarls like a beast and takes apart Marsh with a chopstick. Nehra takes the catch of the century... Upside down and between his legs with only six degrees of separation between.
Is the match over yet? Or should I still be dreaming.
Game and series over. Fancy playing 3 fast bowlers in the sub-continent. Dill-logical my sorry arse.
