The Maanga

Apparently, selling oneself isn’t a crime. So, the man writes,

The man looks like a fast bowler. With all due respect to Ajit Agarkar and RP Singh, when you start sprinting in to bowl, you want to be imposing. You don’t want a batsman, dashing for a quick single, to even contemplate the option of crashing into you. Indeed, if Harbhjan Singh ever slaps you, you want him to bounce off and miss ten matches because of a broken hand.

Besides looking the part, Gony bowls the part: he has pace and accuracy, he generates good bounce, and he seems to put a bit of thought into his bowling. He is a big find from the IPL, and c Dhoni b Gony may well be a feature of international scorecards soon.

Gony’s fastest ball in the tournament so far has been 136 Kmph and his average pace typical delivery is around 130 Kmph. No one reads NDTV Convergence, but no one reads The Hindu either.

Steve Waugh, according to Cricinfo.com, claims that Test cricket is like a classical chess game. 

Waugh must have played some pretty poor chess games, I think. When all the tactics that matter, i.e., pitch tampering, scheduling are decided even before the series starts, it doesn’t qualify even as a chess blitz game as far as the quality of tactics on the field goes. 

I support the ICL, especially after the chennai team’s superb ad.
