Motera

I have been witness to two separate events in the worlds of cricket in the last week. As he described as a test match between India and New Zealand. The match ended in a draw thanks to superior performance by beating the man who was supposed to win us a game of bowling by the spin-off. For me, he gave the impression that Indians were involved reluctantly because in this competition. Virender Sehwag slammed his way to 170 in the first rounds and came out to play, Äúfrench, cricket and the African Union. And walked off like a man who lost his wicket to his best friend, a child support administrative and operational in the game between Club of Greater Kailash and Janakpuri.
Then everyone went to sleep for three days only to be woken from Chris Martin, administrative and operational support incisive spell. India ended day 4 in 82 for 6. Despite this critical situation, and Pragyan Ojha confident that he and his colleagues would have saved the game. While I did not get to see the last day, and all reports indicate that India is keeping the game without much sweat. Blame on the pitch, and the quality of the opposition, umpiring, scheduling, etc. etc. Whatever the reason, what surprised me the most was the India is not present on the bulk of the 5 days. They seem to go through the motions of Day 1, and yes, hundreds of points Virender can even when he said he was going through the motions. I would like to play instead of a second degree from the Indian team to view this squad treat this like a game of the club. This New Zealand team is only slightly better than the club. Don, Osman believes anyone who thinks otherwise. It is my hope that Hyderabad is a different story, and the farce of Motera could become a thing of the past.
Not far away, and South Africa participated in a series against the Pakistani team which provides more drama and entertainment offers from most of the Bollywood. Wine, women and heroes, villians, and crime, fraud, kidnapping, disappearances, and gang warfare, jealousy, and stabbed again, exciting chases, they seem to have it all. Therefore, administrative and operational support only the credibility of the games take a beating. I simply can not see the Pakistani game without thinking about the possibility that the game is fixed. That thought is even more pronounced when it occurs in the Mecca of match-fixing. Country, team, players look at the end of the day to seek refuge in Mecca of the game. The irony of it all. I think that it might not be a bad idea to keep Pakistan from the International Cricket Council until after her. There are a lot of talent in this team which is to get the waste arising is not responsible for the actions of the Council.
