Massacre continues and Dada drives in a knife !!

The Massacre of the Indian bowling continued on the expected lines and Afridi was planning for 6X6 over, when it ended in only 27 runs. I have seen India buckle so many times but this kind of utter helplessness was seen for the 1st time – especially when Pak was able to declare by Tea on 2nd day with a near 700 score. I am not going into the details of the clobbering but suffice to say that it was not totally unexpected for all the readers of this blog. I have been preparing them for several days, warning the pitfalls ahead. All one has to do is to look at my past posts and appreciate how I had pointed out that Afridi will be the ‘big’ killer of Indian bowling.

Mumbai Mirror carried had story that Dada had backed out of the opening role, after the spat with Dravid and pointing the main reason for the pull out – he was not informed in advance. http://www.mumbaimirror.com/
Go to the Sports section and then click on the heading ' Did Sourav back out'

Again, not entirely unxpected because Ganguly and his backers live in their own world, where they can not see what they do not want to see. This is going to cast a long shadow on Indian cricket and by the time this is over – Indian cricket will end in pile of trash for sure, where all that will be left will be bitterness in tons.

ram..my 'bitterness', ruins comment is not based on the Pak score of this match but because of the whole Saurav Saga and its negative vibe with the team.
