Class, as always! Agree with you on many a...Late,<br /><br />Class, as always! Agree with you on many aspects:<br /><br />1. Bhajji : He should trust his bowling more and brain less. If he just bowls the right line, and gives the air and drift, he can thrive. He needn't depend so much on variations, the doosras and teesras. Just get the first one right man!<br /><br />2. Ishant: I liked the fact that he dug out inspiration from the depths to conjure up those 2 much needed breakthroughs with Zak out.<br /><br />3. Bhajji: Like it's been said over and over again, just keep your mouth shut man! Why does he feel the need to be so obnoxious after every single performance is more flummoxing than his bowling itself.<br /><br />4. Murali Vijay totally blew it. <br /><br />Disagree/wait-and-see approach with:<br /><br />1. Badri: Shorter leash with him because he needed to make it count and just didn't. For some reason, he didn't look extremely convincing. You have to make it count as a batsman. I hope he gets another chance. He does deserve it. <br /><br />2. Mishra: He needs to be a little faster through the air so that the batsmen don't have so much time to adjust and still play. He definitely has the spin and length right. <br /><br />morethanjustagame.wordpress.comUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09555725558826258666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4694422900151746614.post-92040966381115754562010-02-28T23:49:05.160+08:002010-02-28T23:49:05.160+08:00The Statesman sure is letting it rip, about time t...The Statesman sure is letting it rip, about time too.

I read somewhere that an autorickshaw ride from Nagpur town to Jamtha would cost about Rs 300 one way. It is too high a price for the spectator, to come all the way and sit on concrete benches and roast under the sun.

As somebody commented when Gambhir missed a test for his sister's wedding - Durby probably cannot afford to miss a test to attend his own wedding - forget his sisters'.<br /><br />What I find galling is that a person like Sachin continues to tolerate him. I find it tough to believe that anyone can stay in this Indian team without Sachin's stamp of approval.

Rather than acknowledge that his bowling has fallen off in the last few years, he "takes comfort" in the team management having faith in him as the only thing that matters.
