INDIA -Vs- CHENNAI SUPER KINGS

The State Associations in cricket in the country! are you listening ? Do you want your player or players in the Indian team ? All you gotta do is to copy the T N C A. They purchased Mr. M S D for a whopping ____ crores to captain CSK and see the result. Last three years saw more TN players in Team India than in the last three decades. MSD will see to it that the players are given chance after chance till they finally perform on a flat track to justify their inclusion.

MSD is a proven leader of CSK, but has to grow up a little more to marshall his resources in team india. How else could he explain his teams' tie with England, Scrape with Ireland and loss to S. Africa in the ongoing World Cup. His good work behind the stumps and in the media room deserve applause. But his bat has not done any talking for some time now. He has to explain why he sent Gambir ahead of Yuvraj or Pathan in the S.Africa match. He must also explain his love for Piyush Chawla and the wicket-less Harbhajan. Plummeting from 261/1 to 296 all out can be explained in non-cricketing terms only.

Colin Cowdrey, Clive Rice and Bob Simpson played till past their early forties, and I guess that must be Mr. tendulkar's next real target, not an Indian win. India had already lost the match when Sachin- Gambhir frittered away valuable balls, leaving nothing for the remaining batsmen. M S D seemed concerned more on Gambhir's return to form than a certain India win.

I hope to frequently post my opinions now that the WC is on. See ya soon.
