Tendulkar and Ganguly total failure in Lanka series

The two test matches has shown bowlers winning matches unlike Twenty-20. In the first test India failed miserably due to top order collapse and an innings defeat. In both the matches Tendulkar and Ganguly are miserable failures.

Ganguly nowadays only talks bad of other successful players. He has developed a complex. With Dalmia coming back and the contract with sponsors and Advertising companies, both Tendulkar and Ganguly will bore us for more matches. If they prove themselves it will be a half century and the mad crowd will forget their inconsistency.

In the first match the pitch helped Murali and Mendis. Though Murali’s comment that Mendis will become the World’s best spinner is OK, it will take years to see that happen.

But Our Bhajji proved once again that he can be a match winner, with India leveling the series. This time pitch did not help, but Ishant Sharma and Harbhajan combo was deadly.

Dada Ganguly comments on Dhoni

When Dhoni announced that he was exhausted and needs rest, ahead of the Srilanka-India series, Ganguly said that during his days he did not take rest.

Dada Ganguly has the fame of not attending even regular physical fitness during Chappel’s time as a coach. He has the record of making maximum number of run outs because of his laziness to run a single. Compared to Dhoni playing one day, Twenty-20 and test matches, the number of matches and schedule is several times more for Dhoni.

Dada Ganguly’s comments on Dhoni are immature, unwanted and a comedy like the Left in Bengal who always threaten and comment but fail to do anything of their own.

The Asia Cup was lost by careless partying by Yuvraj, Sureash Raina and Sharma.
All the three were out for duck and singles. They had come very tired and with a hangover due to the late night party hosted by a Karachi businessman.

Yuvaraj would have been dropped for his recent record if it had been any other country. He does not like Dhoni and he purposely took Suresh Raina and Sharma. Just as Dada would behave against Tendulkar and Lakshman.

‘Sin-bin’ sledging

‘Sin-bin’ sledging

Umpires will warn a fielding side about their conduct if they indulge in sledging. This happens in England School Cricket. Schools are to introduce ’sin-bins’ in cricket matches in an attempt to stamp out sledging.

With mutual consent and two cautions the Captain of the team will be removed for 10 minutes. Yes Captain because, he should control and bring discipline in his team. The team must play with 10 players only.

Many matches are cancelled due to unsporting behaviour on the field.

M Gony, Chennai Super Kings has taken 13 wickets
L Balaji, Chennai Super Kings has taken 9 wickets from 5 matches and a hatrick! His best is 5/24. All those out were best players.
Morkel is doing very well and there is Joginder Sharma.
P.Amarnath has taken 7 wickets from 6 matches.

And SK Raina has taken maximum catches of 7. Of course Chennai misses Hayden and Hussey for fielding and explosive batting. But Chennai now has young stars in finest form.

Chennai has enough batting strength. The bowling is also good by Morkel, Balaji, Gony and Murali, Amarnath and lucky Joginder Sharma. So Chennai wins tomorrow against Rajasthan.

Watching the match live at Stadium

We Indians are mad and do not have a crowd discipline at any ceremony. Be it a marriage, temple visit, buffet dinner or watching a Cricket match live at Stadium.

Everyone wants to watch the proceedings and wants to control others. The result is chaos, shouting and anger moments.

But all of us take this on a lighter side of Life and enjoy the match and shouting. The players around the world too enjoy all this.

One of the visitors to Chepauk had an opportunity to take a video of the match between Delhi Daredevils and Chennai Super Kings. Watch the shouting “Utkaru” (Sit Down), “Aye” and the other tamil words.. Thank God I am old and enjoy the match on TV.
