as you grow up... your body slows you down... what you used to do in a flash even in a subconscious state... increasingly requires a conscious effort... your reflexes that stayed by you like a true lover... start to part with you in search of a young companion...
you start to look more and more ugly doing your job and youngsters around you only enhance the effect... of effort... the predicament... in the watchful, glaring eyes of camera... fans...
in that light one has to see rahul dravid's latest 100...
it is not a coincidence that of all the batsmen struggling to score on this pitch... there is just only one centurion... rahul dravid...
the problem with class not being uprooted with youth of today in team india is that even when class is not at the top of its game... its giving you a hundred in most precarious situation... and who knows... win you match too that is played over five days of intense scrutiny...
when dady bat... kids watch...

stuart broad makes century at lord's...
shared by straight point on Saturday, August 28, 2010
obviously pakistan bowlers were not passionate and frustrated enough... coz i am yet to hear any ball throwing incident at broad or trott to show their competitiveness and passion to play for country...
although all the ingredients to make them feel like one were there for them to explore... like...
top order folding like nine pins... and suddenly when you are expecting to relax at dressing room after folding england for next to nothing... here comes the epic partnership which could have annoyed even the lousiest ones...
but not pak bowlers... they just bowled to create opportunities... and even if they would have felt frustrated about it... didn't let emotions reflect it with their demeanor on field...
crap!
what will they do...?

if these centuries will come in testing conditions... circumstances...?

...than the centuries on these roads that is prepared in the name of test cricket these days... on which any tom dick and harry can come with a bat in his hand and sleep walk to a test century...
test centuries can not come cheaper than this... so pardon me... but these days i value 100s in odis more coz though the pitches remain same... at least there is some added pressure to score/chase runs unlike tests...
so congratulation paul collingwood... you made my day yesterday...
though i would still settle for a three test series in which first two tests are played on batathons and then for the last test match they prepare a green mine field or a dust ball (according to 'home' advantage) to balance out things in favour of bowlers...
like batsmen... bowlers too have rights to be given tracks where they can run thru oppositions like hot knife in butter... specially after toiling endlessly on these roads... to boost their egos... and averages...
