Scoring runs is the Will of God

At moments like these, it's best to quote Sehwag

Hahaha yeah I remember that quote. Sehwag

I wish he was still in the team so that we could have got his opinion on the Bangla team before the last test.

From the same Sehwag interview:

Did Greg Chappell give you any sort of valuable tips?
No.

There are stories of Greg Chappell being so far into some sort of "zone" when batting that when he came off for lunch and tea breaks he'd just sit in a chair and stare and his teammates knew not to interact with him.

Stories like this only confirm my suspicion that batting can be an actual spiritual practice in the Taoist tradition.

Dravid always looked too nervous and sweat too much to be in this esteemed XI imo

Shiv is a good candidate. CBF.

Loved Murali batting too. So joyful. So fun.

"look at all the ****s i give"

then he'll randomly care once every three years and score a 50 at a sedate rate of 75 runs per ball

ffs guys get better examples

Looks to be acting very God-like in that photo to me. Maybe I am reading this wrong but isn't God the guy who goes around kicking the **** out of all his enemies?

I am an atheist; and I find this thread offensive.

But still....

The fast bowler you are looking for your team is Brian Statham.

Statham a decent call though. More gentlemanly than 'in the zone', per se.

Alec Bedser, perhaps, as someone thoroughly unperturbed by anything?

I don't really think I have much to contribute, but I just wanted to point out that this is such a gun thread. Not often does someone bring up a general cricket topic that we haven't already discussed to death.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not as good as my fifties thread though. It actually compels people to sign up to CW.

 

[Adders]

Everything is God's Will - even this thread.

Indeed. So I cant help wondering why god is ****ing with kiwiviktor81 in this way.

Because Kane Williamson is the Chosen One who will lead us to the Promised Land (of No. 1 Test and ODI rankings and winning the CWC in 2019).
