Hmmm....Dinesh Karthik's more 'specialist' as a wicketkeeper, maybe? Should have batted below Pathan, but that does not excuse him for getting out having hardly scored 40. He's taken 5 wickets against a flimsy batting lineup, but does that give him a permit to throw his wicket away the way he did? Talk about blaming wicketkeepers for not scoring runs- why leave him off the hook? And Ian Blackwell lost his place in the England side...both have a lot of potential as batsmen, and neither practise much.
Ganguly seems to lift his game against Bangladesh, definitely puts him in a unique group, with Chaminda Vaas, Irfan Pathan, Mark Richardson and maybe even Marvan Atapattu and a few others, called the Minnow Blaster group, doesn't it?
And congrats to Sachin anyway- we knew it was coming. Number 35 is not too far.
And a big thumbs down to the cable-ops and the cable channels- many areas of the city, including my own, can't watch the match. If you call it a match.....hopefully it isn't.
