1311...Don't think the n.o of tigers have reduced in Indian forests :) :)
It is the runs scored in 4 days of Ind vs Slanka 2nd Test match…..How the bowlers must be feeling?
Their legs must have gone in Hibernation state. In an era when T20 is synonymous to the word CRICKET, How can the srilankan grounds man give such a dead rubber?
Australian cricket board must have sacked such an official as they are trying hard to revive test cricket by introducing new formats in their domestic cricket.
A thing has to change with time to garner more followers. Cricket once had 8-ball an over. Not a single follower of the game must be missing an 8-ball over at this very moment when I am writing this blog. I am so confident because the game is bigger than these trivial changes which in a way have given life to the game.
But there are enough reasons for the fanatics in India to love this test. Sachin has again re-written records by etching a not so fluent 200. Prasanna the keeper must be cursing his own existence after missing that sitter of the legend. But as it’s rightly said “FORTUNE FAVOURS THE BRAVE”.
Raina survived for a good time and made a memorable debut century. The reason I am saying that he survived is because of his temperament which is pathetic to say the least. He has now developed this art to stay on crease and make a huge score which in turn would send strong signals to DRAVIDS AND LAXMANS who wants their kids to play along with them in INDIAN TEAM.
When T.Dilshan can take 3 wickets with his part-time stuffs, then how come our Punjab da puttar BHAJJI failed miserably?
Indian fans along with selectors are so mesmerized by his funny past antics after winning tests and taking 5-wicket hauls, that we tend to give a miss to his dead performances. Rest of our bowlers doesn’t even fall under the category of a bowler. Sehwag is actually leading the attack in the recent times.
How can we forget the maestro MURALIDHARAN while talking about the bowlers?
The way he reached 800 wickets was worth a watch because it was not that easy. He had to toil for a long time against our tailenders who never perform when required but surprisingly stood like a wall between MURALI and his WORLD RECORD. One just can’t ignore him who held the number one spot for 1,711 days spanning 214 Test matches.
To end on a positive note, let’s hope that the Third test would be a treat to watch and both Batsmen and Bowlers have a tough time tackling each other. ADIOS...
