T20 World Cup - first round of the game is over, pictures got clearer by now. We know now who all are going to play in super eight or who all are packing up and going back home. Australian team looked as if they are bit confused to play a ball or leave the ball. Apparently the coach of Australian Cricket team had asked their top order batsmen to hate the cricket ball as if it secretly had sex with their loved ones, poor fellow was hoping at least by convincing the team members this way; batsmen would hit from their view whenever they sight a cricket ball, but coach had mysterious problem here to solve which he ignored conveniently or missed it completely, when opposition team had fast bowlers operating from both ends, Aussies boys are not even seeing a ball to hit, they see a red round object with white stitches around only when they get bowled out! Sigh…, well; they are not quite prepared for this. So blame the lack of preparation.
While all these bizarre things are happening with
“There is little I can do. At the moment I would leave for
Will you blame someone who thinks "then why the hell Sehwag has been picked up for Indian squad for T20 World Cup!?" This is exactly what a journalist friend of mine asked the coach Gary Kirsten. The answer was very convincing for Gary himself and was constantly shaking his head as if he himself is making it sure first. According to Gary Kirsten the injury what Sehwag had developed is very strange and it can happen one in a 1,00,000,00 sports persons!!! So unfortunately our Virendar Sehwag simply happened to be that one in last 1,00,000,00 sports persons!!!! It is not over here folks, listen to Gary’s further explanation “A Grade 1 injury is less than five per cent damage to individual muscle fibers. It's a mild strain however, if the patient continues to play, the condition will worsen. If ignored, a Grade 1 strain has the potential to become a Grade 2 strain or even a complete rupture.”
My question here is then how Sehwag’s so called A Grade 1 injury became Grade 2 when he didn’t play a single match in T20 WC? He was not doing anything with his shoulder after IPL other than lifting his son. If every one knows that the injury can worsen up if he play further cricket then why has he been included in Indian T20 WC squad?
There is smoke, thick white smoke, yes, you can be dead sure about the fire underneath somewhere! Indian Captain MS Dhoni got a task in his hand, he need to explain to media why Viru has been ruled out, look after the team’s performance, improve his own batting form and fight with internal politics. Captain cool dude became a hot tandoori in last press meet, where Dhoni literally lost his temperament and had a verbal fight with a jurno! Yeah, right. You know these journalists don’t you? As I mentioned in my previous posts; they simply don’t know what to ask and whom to ask. Instead of asking a question to physio of Sehwag they asked Dhoni! What do they expect him to reply?
Right after the fight and heated discussions in the meeting room the whole Indian team came to the press meet to show their unity. Captain Dhoni said “we are as united as ever” and left the press hall leaving all the journalists open mouthed with stun. They were waiting for so long with “N” number of questions that they wrote in a white paper to ask Dhoni. Obviously the press people got pissed off by Dhoni’s act, and that is exactly what Dhoni was wishing and expecting!
Dhoni should have asked Viru to attend the press meet and clear the cloud if there is no bad blood between them, which would have been much better idea than bringing the whole team members to the press meet and keep them behind like zombies to show the solidarity!
Thanks for all your encouraging comments; they are the water and minerals for this blog.
