I am back and for good measure, I must say! How can I miss out on the 'India lashing' that seems to be cropping up everywhere our eyes rove? There are some die-hard fans of the Indian national cricket team who do not refuse to 'die', but does refuse to go 'easy' on their death. Well, the players aren't die-hard fans of the team, I guess, for they haven't died hard, because they chose the easy path against the 'fiery' Steyn, the 'steeple-bounce guy' Morkel and the 'accurate' Tsotsobe. Looks like the tamizh tradition of names before names impacted South Africa too. The journos term them as adjectives, but then.
"Rohit hit a double-hundred barely 2 weeks back"- This is not at all a valid argument remotely even. Firstly, the opposition hardly knew cricket. Else, they would have begged Lara or even Viv to retire their 'retirement', not unlike how the Australians did to try and bring back the 'ever-dependable' Hussey and the erstwhile-captain Ponting. Secondly, the pitches were not made to play competitive cricket at all! Indian weather is supposed to be blamed for that I guess! What can curators do for the Indian weather not supporting pitch-making that competition will thrive on? Thirdly, well there is nothing third, Rohit was just abominable!
The entire team played out of its skin in this tour, while they should have been playing inside its skin! Maybe they got carried away by the SA playing out of its skin (in a pink attire)! What happened to "You are unique"?? Indian cricketers really need the only one thing that will make them win at home and even when not at home, and that is hiring the services of a well-known but not-so-famous die-hard psychologist. At least, he will live longer, considering Indian overseas cricket isn't.
