Gone are the days when I can come back home , switch on the TV and be entertained by a mindless exhibition of slogging called T20. The end of IPL-3 has left a vacuum in my life, one that I am trying to fill with the new season of Indian Idol :-)
Yesterday’s final was the true demonstration of why Tendulkar (who no doubt of the greatest batsman India has ever produced) is no more than a very average captain. A very average captain, whose stock has been considerably inflated by two of his long time admirers in commentary box – Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar.
Baffling choices in batting order. MI lost because of those choices and also in no small measure due to fairly pedestrian batting by Tendulkar and Abhishek Nayar. Harbhajan and Nayar are better players than Duminy and Pollard ?? Which book of cricket says that ?
Anyway it is wonderfully easy to be an arm-chair critic , is it not ? :)
