Scraps Stuffs - Random musings from apun ka desh

So, yet another spineless performance by the Indian team in Sri Lanka yesterday! First they gifted enough runs to Sri Lanka to enable them to put up a very competitive total. They then squandered away a decent start and made a hash of chasing that total. So nothing changes. All talk, hype and hyperbole and not much action. As usual.

Its a good thing I don't waste much time nowadays watching India play on TV.

Sanath Jayasurya became the fourth man to cross the 10000 run mark in limited overs international cricket. Joining Sachin, Inzamam and Saurav who reached there earlier. The thing that struck me was that all four are players from the subcontinent. Makes you wonder about the pitches we have here. Batsman's paradise, bowler's hell. Since these four players are from the subcontinent, they would naturally have made the bulk of their runs on these dead pitches. So although the achievement for each of the four bastmen is stupendous, I wonder how much the pitches helped.
