First ODI India Australia
The weather gods helped save India from another embaressment. You can always argue that India would have made a contest out of it, but given the original target of 195, and also Indias bowling lineup it was always a tough ask.
Indias batting as expected collapsed. The only silver lining was Rohit Sharmas knock though he didnt go on to make a big score, not even a 50 for that matter, he was lovely to watch. A casual laid back approach which reminds of one my favourite players Mark Waugh . Gambhir failed to capitalize on his two lives. Manoj Tiwary seem to be at odds with Brett
Lee' s pace, but the poor kid deserves another chance. You dont expect him to score on his debut against an in form Brett Lee. But his selection seems baffling. Dhoni seems to go by some random theory wherein he drops Karthik a well established player for a debutant. Ulterior motives? You never know.
Looking forward to the superbowl today. 6pm ET on Fox.

Laugh of the day
Actually its from yesterday, after India lost the Twent20 match against Australia.
Let me quote our beloved skipper Dhoni:
"The batsmen forgot their roles
We ended up [in a situation where] players who should have played their strokes were [forced to] play some other game, and guys who should have stayed there and given the strokeplayers a base played their shots and got out,"
What the hell does Dhoni mean? Does he end up blaming the top order for his pathetic score of 9 in 27 balls?
Its high time our ODI captain learnt a few things from Kumble.

This week
After a long hiatus from blogging, Im back. (Sorry if its sounds like Ajith in Billa)
Lot of things to look forward to this week. First thingthat comes to my mind is the Super Bowl XLII. (watever that stands for roman numerals, never been good at roman numerals and puzzles me why it cant be just called as Super Bowl 37 or something.)
Two teams from the N.E. US of A and as it is for most people, my heart says Giants but my brian says Patriots. Lets hope its an even contest and not some runaway victory for the Patriots.
Lots of talk in the air about how the younger Manning has matured. But in my opinion he can never match Peyton, he lacks the flamboyance and flair of his elder sibling.
Another thing thats coming up is Super Tuesday, where the candidates try garner as many of the states as possible. With respect to the democrats, its a standoff between Clinton and Obama, and Im not too sure if this Tuesday will reveal who the frontrunner is. Its a tight contest and definitely is turning out to be an ugly one.
In the Republican field, McCain seems have a taken a lead and I guess Super Tuesday will cement his place as the nominee from the Republicans.
The tri-series in Australia starts off today, with India taking on Australia and despite the drubbing India received in the Twenty20 game, I think we will see a more closely fought match today.
Lots more to write on, especially with a slew of Tamil movies releasing this Pongal.
