Ruthless Aussies
In my first stint as blogger I just wanted to started writing something on cricket which is a game I always followed after watching prince of Trinidad brain Lara scoring a cliff hanger innings of 153 not out against his old time arch rivals Australian…
Let’s start with the ongoing series between India and Australia. Australian as usual stamping their authority over the Indian’s poor performance in all departments of cricket. Indian looked lacklustre in fielding, bating and blowing. The men in blue were really fortunate in the first game of future cup at chinnaswamy stadium in Bangalore due to rain god…Australian posted a imposing target of 307 for 7 after overcoming initial jitters. This time Michael Clarke came to the party. He struck blistering innings of 130. Sree bowled well in patches or early over’s of the innings but lost is cool at the end of 40th over of the match.
What Sree really lacks is the cool temperament. As a fast blower you should have a mix of both aggression and cool temper. The kind of gesture he shows in the outfield don’t look too impressive to me. He should first concentrate on his consistency and that will only increase his chances of being in team…..otherwise it will always be in & out stuff for him….
Moving on to Kochi I always thought that rain is going make a spoilsport for 2nd match too…but, great the rain stayed away and match started in time. India were brought down to earth after the euphoria of the T20 world cup….Australia won the lop sided match against the India by 84 runs…in this match much of talk was regarding the on field behaviour of players of both the team. India blowers were trying to get to the skin of Australian batsmen. Instead the host found themselves in big mess.Sachin was subdued in his innings.Sachin should now consider his career in shorter version of the game. I just think of a jarkhandi guy who told me that sachin woh gai (cow) hai jo 10 lite dodh deti hai par pani wala…..opponent no longer think of sachin as threat.
Once again meek surrender in 3rd ODI at Hyderabad. In no uncertain Aussies won the match by 47 runs. But good on India’s perspective that they lost the match by 47 runs. Yuvi, continued, the good work , it was his solidity that whittled the target to 74 runs.He scored magnificent 121 runs off 115 balls.
As usual Indian media were dump and down mainly because they were not getting the masala for prime time news. It has been really sorry affair for our media people that they do not highlight the weakness of Indian team in comparison to the mere number of wins for team India, may be because the foolish sentiments of Indian people towards the team india.
Dhoni has his own style of supporting his young team mate…ye sab to chalta hai…. Some times we win some times loss.
With Indian team trailing by 2-0 it looks ominous that Australian will once again stamp their authority over the depleted Indian side…Indian finally managed to sneak a narrow win by 8 runs. In fact aussies out played Indian’s in all department but at the end of day jo jeeta wohi sikandhar.
This week also show the retirement of one of the great player of Pakistan Inzy…the big men is going to have his final swansong in the 2nd test against SA…..i really loved his game and the number of great innings he has played over the years.
Now it’s down to three matches and I am sure aussies will rule over the men in blue and will come out triumphant…….
