Saurav vs. Shane @ I.P.L.

Nice Duel !! No ??

Regardless of who won, THIS is not the way it
was expected to happen.
One is reminded of the story of fight between
two cats over a piece of bread and the monkey
[B.C.C.I] who resolved the dispute by taking
[the 10%] bites from the bread !!

If you have not heard the story, you are sure
to find it in MY BLOGOSPHERE.

What's Happening to CRICKET ? (in Sydney)

With the umpires hell bent upon AWARDING the current test-match
at Sydney to the home team, is there any point in playing on ?

Honestly, the Indian captain should have considered conceding
the match just as soon as Saurav Ganguly was given out after(!)
consultation with the fielder - Mr. Gavaskar is rightly fuming
from his position as a commentator, but does that help ?

And pray, with the ICC now headquartered in Dubai, why should the
spectators not demand an immediate and "impartial" enquiry into
the BETTING ANGLE with a focus on the betting syndicate-umpires'
nexus or even the involvement of a few C-A and ICC officials with
the betting mafia ?

Certainly, there must be a whole lot of Betting Moolah that would
be currently riding on "Australia creating a New Record for Most
Consecutive Test Victories".

Why, oh! why must only the Asians and Africans be always forced to
come under the scanner ?
Racial overtones ? Sorry! I forgot momentarily that such accusations
also are the sole prerogative of the likes of Ponting, Symonds and
Clarkes.

Please forgive me for my outburst - after all, it is ONLY a Game !!
