The wait for the India – South Australia series to start seem interminable. After the acrimonious India –Australia series there is nothing interesting happening. Even though the South African Cricket Board President briefly got my goat by making ‘thumping’ statement, I let it pass. It is much better to retort to this ‘chest thumping’ after the series is ours.
On the domestic cricketing front, undoubtedly, the ICL tournament is going on. However, the lack of star power and the meaningless of the games has deflated my interest. On the international front, barring the first Test, the ‘bleaters’ England and the ‘over achievers’ New Zealand are playing unimaginative cricket.
To make matters worst, my dear friend Niranjan Shah has either been gagged or suddenly seen light and started talking sense. Most probably he too is tired off coming up with rib-ticklers and taken a sabbatical.
Meanwhile, this wait has become so bad that I am reduced to blogging about ‘swinger’ Charlz and 250 year old cricket club’s. Sorry, this ICL, England-New Zealnd series bakwas won't do.
Simply put, I need India to play cricket every day of the year. I need my daily fix of Sachin and his gang. Player’s burnout be damned, lets have more cricket.
