Huh?

The problem with being in 4 different time zones in a span of 10-15 days is that you are totally disoriented.

Now I am not sure if I was hallucinating or I really did see Anderson and Panesar save the first Ashes test... Did I?? I could have.

Or did the Deshis win a test? For sure? Who were they playing? I did not see the Windies team on the field so I am not sure who they won against.

Hmm.

The only thing I am sure of is that all the cricket I have watched, thus far, has been free.
As in FREE. F-R-E-E.
Or was I dreaming?
Quite possible.

But this next one takes the cake; I think I heard on news that Kambli felt Sachin did not help him in his career and that he was discriminated against by the BCCI because of his caste and color.

!!! Hain??!!!

If that wasn't my imagination on drugs, the only thing I'll say is that it's a pity they don't sell Kambli effigies anymore. Tch tch.
Idiot. As in I-D-I-O-T.

17 Maidens bowled!!:

Na you are not dreaming, everything happened. BTW, Kambli said all he had to say during a polygraph test, so obviously he was in his senses.

Turned out to be a polygaffe test.

A-ha! You rise again. Good to see you back.

By the way, the telecast may be F-R-E-E, but don't you now have to put up with the inane commercials?

Good to see you back to some blogging !

Yeah yeah, Monty of all blokes with Andy saved Eng. Sheesh what's next - Eng winning back the Ashes .... :-)

Hope all's well and you enjoying time back home.

Cheers !

JQ,

I have thus far only watched test cricket... that too in snatches; thankfully haven't seen anyone trying to sell me anything.

TG,

While I was cheering for Anderson and Monty, I do hope the Aussies take the Ashes.

Tifosi Guy said...

Leela,

Explain pls ' While I was cheering for Anderson and Monty, I do hope the Aussies take the Ashes '

Seems to me you supporting Eng :-) and Aus winning the Ashes bit is an ' afterthought' bit :-)

Leela said...

TG,

C'mon now admit it, isn't it fun watching 10 and 11 fight it out when the more accomplished batsmen have failed?

:-)

I know its a bit convoluted, but I do support the Aussies, really I do.
Must have something to do with Mitchell Johnson, Mike Hussey, and Brad Haddin (I know!)....
:D

Thomas Rooney said...

Monty and Jimmy did have to be seen to be believed, so can understand your thoughts!

Top site you have here by the way. Could you email me when you get the chance?

There is something I would like to run by you.

THanks

Thomas

Would you have really enjoyed it and thought it was fun, if instead of Aus, it was India on the receiving end ?? :-)

I agree having 10/11 battling it out is good tension - esp if the team you supporting manages to save it.

Not so pleasant if it's the other way around.

To top it - it was the Poms, and the gloating afterwards made it too much to digest :-)

Leela said...

TG,

You shouldn't be asking such tough questions!
