sehwag is the real god...

shared by straight point on Thursday, February 09, 2012

one can question the failing eyes of rahul dravid... baying for the blood of vvs and his failing knees... one can even question sachin whom we fondly call cricket god...

but no one can question sehwag...

the moment you see him looking like a tool by playing one of the most daftly manufactured shots... you will, without fail, see someone saying "well... this is the way he plays..."

we want everybody to come out of their comfort zone be it gambhir, dravid, vvs or even 'god' sachin... but we will always be ready to resign with "well this is how sehwag plays..."

whenever some question is asked of a batsmen in international cricket... the very batsmen is expected to come-up with answers to show his mettle... to show his acumen... but with sehwag you keep laying an open bait with the knowledge that he will keep falling to that trap like a religious ritual...

this reminds me of a famous joke (without hurting the sentiment of anybody...)

there was this sardar who whenever saw a kela lying on the road exclaimed... "o yaar... aaj phir isspay phisalna padega..."

viru praa ji... tussi real god ho ji...

seven batsmen irony...

shared by straight point on Friday, January 21, 2011

during the wonderful debate on my last post - first thoughts on team india world cup squad selection - and even elsewhere one point that stands out is that almost everybody considers it given that only way to go out in this world cup or even in general is... pick seven batsmen... that, naturally, i find bit baffling...

the first thing that crosses captain's mind whenever he sees tinge of grass on pitch is how to beef up the batting to cover for the exaggerated movement of ball swinging or seaming or both...

going by the same count... why not then the same captain should not trust his batsmen on patta wickets to come good and aid his bowling instead where the bowlers will be reduced to the level of just being there to make up for the numbers...?

i think not only the cricket but fans too in general are getting more and more defensive and don't demand positive or attacking cricket from their respective teams...

so next time when you see a captain deploying a fielder at the rope after just one hit to the fence... think again before calling him a defensive captain...
