It all began in an all too familiar fashion. A feeling of déjà vu, you might say. As Dropmal was dropped, skip Malik decided to end his ruefully bad form by opening the innings and batting even more ruefully till the time he saw Ishant Sharma’s face. 26/0 in 10 overs sure tells a tale. They managed to get 299 eventually as Malik finally got a century (you can always trust India’s bowling).

In walked GG and Viru. Out walked Umar Gul, soon to be followed by GG. What was Dhoni thinking, to send Raina at 3? Whatever it was, it worked. He scored 84 at a SR of 120. And yeah, Sehwag got a ton. And India won in 42 overs. Duh, this is repetitive.

P.S. The new guy is worse. Bring Dropmal back

Asia Cup 2008 : India thrash Pakistan….again

We’ve called him cool, and we truly believed it. But that coolness has failed to show itself in Test  cricket. Everybody pardoned Dhoni’s less than stellar performance against Pakistan. Too early, we echoed. But nothing has changed in Australia so far. Just 105 runs in 6 innings. Sehwag came into his own. Pathan bounced back (Interesting, he always gets Man of the Match on bouncing back), but Dhoni has kept everyone waiting. Karthik for Adelaide, anyone?
