We like a run feast. We enjoy a run feast. But, low scoring games makes us feel warm and fuzzy.The first ODI, while entertaining was not quite satisfying. Saurav looked good. But, the WI did not test him enough. We still have our doubts about his comeback. Dravid was fantastic. We felt that the bowlers were shortchanged. And we don't like that.
The second ODI was our kind of game. Batting was hard. You could not hit through the line, technique actually mattered. All the wickets that fell were due to poor shots and lack of patience. Gambhir, Saurav, Dhoni to name a few. Dinesh Kaarthick played well. This should cement his spot for the World Cup.
We like chubby players as much as the next man - David Boon and Shane Warne being our favorite chubby players. We detest that bastard Merv Hughes. But Ramesh Powar is pushing the boundary of being chubby. Ordinarily, that wouldn't matter. As long as he plays well, we don't care if he is weight lifting beer bottles. But couple his physique with an atrocious fashion sense and very soon he is an eye sore.
Powar - We know you are reading this. Listen to us. We implore you. Get rid of the ear stud. There are people who can carry it off. You are not one of them. Remember, when it comes to fashion accessories, less is good. Also, get rid of those shades. Red is not the new black. Other than that, we don't want to change a thing about you. Your bowling was very good and though you might not make it to the World Cup squad, you will keep Harbhajan honest. Bide your time, get rid of those shades and the ear stud. Listen to us. We know things.
