Game of uncertainty - Kick starts

Its been a year n half since the last post in this blog and now its time i kick start it again as World T20 kick started in grand style y'day.

As i'm typing this, Chris Gayle has murdered Bingo for 27 runs in an over at The Oval. Man, he is a real terror in this format of the game. Score card reads 71 for none in 5 overs chasing 170.

Back y'day how many gave chance for the dutch men? Is England complacent or over-rated? Yeah... Over-rated.. Most definitely. I still think English team without Freddie & KP is no better than a minnow. That said, a minnow beating another in a thriller.

And today kiwis were made to sweat by the scotish and boy Ryan Watson smashed Iain'o Brien for 18 in the first over. After setting a challenging target, they made a mess of it with their bowling & sloppy fielding. Fielding coach needs a kick on his back?

Its 11.47 pm in Singapore and i can't wait for the clock to tick 12.30 am. So, whats up in the stores for the Men in Blue? I enjoyed a video posted in cricinfo - No-Hopers to Show-stealers. its amazing to see how world cricket has changed in 2 years since then.

Two years down, the core group of that triumphant young brigade remains same, this time well oiled having the experience of IPL under their belt, they really fancy their chances of defending the crown on June 21st. Well, i'm a certainty at Trent Bridge for India Vs SA super 8 game having booked the tickets, i'm hunting the web for the final tickets at Lords. Hopefully i get it.

So who to watch out for today? For bangladesh - It has to be Shakib Al Hasan - Number 1 allrounder in the world (???) as per ICC ratings. He may not be a star as number stated but he is an impressive and impact player. For Men in Blue? Guess who? Raina - My bet.

Get set guys.. Jaya Ho !!!

P.S : Windies almost closed out on aussies score. Need 19 of 37 balls with gayle on 84*. Hope they dont collapse.

P.P.S : Gayle's gone for 88 now. Chanderpaul comes in and announces his nickname - "Tiger" (???)

P.P.P.S : I've learned this from FIP (Fake IPL Player). nah, i'm not him but a fan of him :)
