Lighten up

friend of mine commented that my writing has become a bit too broody!!

so what better to lighten things up than cricket....
as oscars have already become a passe
and the hindi movie scene is bleak.. as nothing brighter than "black" has shown up...

so what about cricket...
how about smiling assassin losing his killer instincts .. right when he was supposed to deliver the last nails in the coffin....
how about another houdini discovered by pakistan..
over the years they have had delivered many of these pain in the ... characters to us ...

remember... Miandad in sharjah, Salim Malik...just to quote 2

and what about slip between cup and the lip...
fits sachin and indian team both...
for one it was closer than the other...
off late Sachin seems to be on some kinda autopilot .. which gives up in crisis....
hope he comes into his own and we and him get what we duly deserve...

on Sehwag... he seems to be riding some kinda lucky horse...
now they will say luck favours the brave...
but between some of those scintillating shots lies the chink which is wide open all the time...
if he just learns to make sure that he wont keep edging those balls to close in fielders every once in a while...
he will, i think, send lots of the bowlers to their therapists....
