WTF happened before the match was tied
The other day on the way to work (it's the same route every day) I passed Chinnaswamy and there were hundreds upon hundreds of chappals scattered along the street. At first I thought "whoa! chappals... but they're not even in any particular order..." then it occurred to me that something bad had just occurred here. It wasn't until I saw the papers the next morning that I realised people had been camping for tickets the whole night and had been lathi-charged when they woke up. Maybe they woke up when they were lathi-charged. It's immaterial.

A toast to the discards.
Supposed to be playing catch up with Sreesanth, instead both teams caught up with each other. One of those feel-good ties really. Sreesanth bowled 8 on the trot, 2 wickets, not too expensive either, 4.25 rpo.
A little lesson for Yuvi, his Punjab skipper, bowl Sree through, don’t bother about saving him for the slog. A shame he wasn’t needed with the bat, Warwickshire lost their 9th on the last ball, match tied. Sree too looked tied down. What with helmet, glasses, far from his exuberant self. Really thought he’d be happy not to be batting. Instead he was the team man, clued in like he was reading the Economist.

For Northamptonshire, Andrew Hall did everything, after supper he might even do the dishes. Scored a ton, bowled at the death, made me wonder, yet again, why do South Africa ignore him – and how did he land up in the ICL. The yorkers at the death were missing, but it’s only forty over cricket.
