Cricket Cricket Cricket !!

Its been close to two months since i first created this blog and lots of topics have made their way in and out of my restless brain...still no clarity as to what to write!!

Cricket has been an integral part of my life, and will remain so for the rest of my life..
Naturally, the first thing that came to my mind was of course, yours truly !
Something i wanted to write about, was Gilchrist's barrage of accusations on Sachin Tendulkar, the GOD of Cricket, in his book Walking to Victory. I have always felt that aussies have been bad losers and big mouths on the field, regardless of their clinical preciscion in winning matches..though they have had the good fortune of having some of the greatest cricket players as their countrymen, there has been an inkling of bad behaviour hidded under their baggy greens for a while...all is well when they are winning game after game, but when the going gets tough, now as it has for them, the simple equation of winning gets complex !!

Another topic, was concern over the dismal form of Rahul Dravid..this man holds a special place in my heart and i have always felt that things have gone woefully wrong with Dravid after he decided to step away from captaincy...he's never looked like the wall he was....he just looks a shadow of himself...can he do a Ganguly and bounce back to form in the time to come? Can he regain his lost touch ? Does the adage, "Form is temporary class is permanent" hold good for him ? Not sure...sincerely hope and wish him well, want him to prove himself...my best wishes to the best batsman that Karnataka has seen in the last two decades !!
MSD's midas touch might just bring Dravid back to life, watch out for MSD people he is the next GOD that cricket will be praising for some time to come...!!
Thats it for today, will have to sign off for now....the real world awaits me !!
Cheers!
