Stumped?

Wednesday, August 3, 2011

all sorts of things are happening in the cricketing world right now. as much as i would like to it isn't humanly possible for me to report each and everything especially alongside engineering which i am currently pursuing right now. I know for sure that i will have to discontinue someday..but till then i'll try to make this work
    alrite then, here's a glimpse of the things that took place
  • India lose the second test by 319 runs after losing the first test by 196 runs
  • The VASEliNE GATE                                                                                                              Vaughan tweeted that Laxman had applied vaseline to his bat and hence his edge went unnoticed by Hot Spot thus starting the vaseline gate which led to angry mob of Indians abusing him on twitter. I read some of the abuses. I swear if he knew what they meant he would confine himself to his home and live in hiding for eternity. He didn't make things easier for himself when he retweeted a couple of these abusive tweets adding  "Nasty..i guess?". Seeing that their abuses were being retweeted many more abused him further hoping for a retweet. Soon many Indians who didn't even know he was, came to know of his existance. I tell you he is one big DUMBASS. nothing else. Seeing the attention and the fame Vaughan got, a lesser know Hoggard followed suit. You can't help but think about the senselessness of the people living in this world.
  • The IAN BELL runout controversy                                                                                             Ian bell, the pig faced guy with decent cricketing skills was runout because of his carelessness as he strayed away from the crease thinking that play time was over. Clearly the one at fault he even argued with the umps as they gave him out. The crowd booed as team India claimed the wicket. Then during the break Stauss like a beggar came upto 'The Dhoni' asking to withdraw the appeal. A nagging beggar that he was, team India let Bell back on the field stating that what they did was not by the rules but in the spirit of the game. And GUESS WHAT? NOBODY CARES. What this step did although was deny the British Media of some breaking news. Bell went on to score 150 and was out shortly after. These English, i tell you such hypocrites! there was a similar incident a few years ago and this is what the English did then:

  • UDRS                                                                                                                                          Then ofcourse we had Nasser Hussain and Ravi Shastri battle it out in the commentary box over India saying no to UDRS. Nasser went on to say that India's decision to not use UDRS was *disgraceful* which angered Ravi Shastri and both of them were soon caught in a war of words. It went on for sometime before they realised that they had to cover the match too and that they had argued through one whole session without any idea of the time. These Commentators, such boring people i tell you. they just sit there and talk and talk and talk and then there's some more talk! aaahhh give me a break!!
