And when it goes on like that, it eats at players like Gayle and they too regress. And what happens when Gayle, Cha'pal, Sarwan don't come off collectively? Or when Sanath- Sanga don't? The teams waste away. And it's painful to watch, game after game, the same plot. <BR/><BR/>Ottayan: little futile battles that up avgs. look at ashraful, how he's wasted away. you just can't do it alone. a weak team takes even a strong player down. <BR/>and that's a shame abt most teams today.Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-62598665648334479642008-07-08T19:59:00.000+05:302008-07-08T19:59:00.000+05:30NC,I am with Q, when he says that it is the little...NC,<BR/><BR/>I am with Q, when he says that it is the little battles that is engrossing.<BR/><BR/>Possible that they have turned their hobbies into a profession.Viswanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511419586643916500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-87227894267613171322008-07-08T19:44:00.000+05:302008-07-08T19:44:00.000+05:30ottayan - "the tamasha in the name of cricket" - t...ottayan - "the tamasha in the name of cricket" - that's like a mission statement man!<BR/>yeah, soulberry's gone off the radar, so have cricket guru, long hop, smart cricket. who else?<BR/>like msd, too much cricket. or have they inked some contracts tooGaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-37626819323703200942008-07-08T19:38:00.000+05:302008-07-08T19:38:00.000+05:30Saw that NC :-)I just can't understand how one can...Saw that NC :-)<BR/><BR/>I just can't understand how one can get bored with cricket. Any form, any teams, anywhere...<BR/><BR/>SP - I agree that WI and Pak have regressed but u will always find that 1 unpredictable performance from them or that 1 special innings or a bowling spell from some bowler that will keep u hooked to their matches.<BR/><BR/>Like Gayle's 92 the other day against Australia. Or their fights in the test matches against the Aussies.<BR/><BR/>Pakistan lost twice to India in the last month, but thye also beat them twice - so they remain the unpredictabl side they were before as well.<BR/><BR/>Even for the Kiwis, their ODI comeback and that last ball win over England - it was magical!<BR/><BR/>Even in the UAE vs SL game, Amjad Ali's 77 against the Asian champions - this is the beauty of cricket. <BR/><BR/>If the entire contest doesn't excite you, the little battles within is what u watch it for.Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-23621312559661900732008-07-08T19:32:00.001+05:302008-07-08T19:32:00.001+05:30Sachin and Ganguly will definitely target him NC.....Sachin and Ganguly will definitely target him NC..Qhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947332468863567271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-23931933261316470272008-07-08T19:32:00.000+05:302008-07-08T19:32:00.000+05:30Q - boy, yr bustling with positive energy. wrote s...Q - boy, yr bustling with positive energy. wrote something earlier today, right up yr street.Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-28726399634115496202008-07-08T19:30:00.000+05:302008-07-08T19:30:00.000+05:30m - spongebob is the nick toon u told me abt?m - spongebob is the nick toon u told me abt?Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-57444699716271324572008-07-08T19:24:00.000+05:302008-07-08T19:24:00.000+05:30SP,what's keeping jayasuriya to come out of test r...SP,<BR/>what's keeping jayasuriya to come out of test retirement -one last hurrah against india. <BR/>About Mendis, I'm curious, sehwag and Gambhir aside, who else will target him?Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-68969593800316237142008-07-08T18:32:00.000+05:302008-07-08T18:32:00.000+05:30NC,The tamasha that takes place in the name of cri...NC,<BR/>The tamasha that takes place in the name of cricket keeps me engaged.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, I see that interest in cricket has flagged after the Aussie series and more so after IPL.<BR/><BR/>I base this observation on how a lot of bloggers have dropped off.<BR/><BR/>As to why I do not know.Viswanathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03511419586643916500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-44341125521195647232008-07-08T18:15:00.000+05:302008-07-08T18:15:00.000+05:30ottayan: how are you coping with the cricket?ottayan: how are you coping with the cricket?Gaurav Sethi https://www.blogger.com/profile/04330224127597873431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16829733.post-48087483430580153662008-07-08T15:59:00.000+05:302008-07-08T15:59:00.000+05:30Im still not bored.Loved the IPL, loved the End v ...Im still not bored.<BR/><BR/>Loved the IPL, loved the End v NZ series, loved the Kitply, loved the Asia Cup, loved the Aussie-Windies ODIs, loved it all.<BR/><BR/>And if wasnt watching them, i was following them on cricinfo or on my mobile.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, its never enough for me.
