Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown

I have been watching this India Australia series very keenly(to put itmildly), even if it means staying up the whole night for anrain-interrupted ODI or for 5 days of Test match cricket. But eversince the Sydney test, matters have gotten even more interesting.Never ever were we done in Big time as we were in the Sydney test.Hence, it was only sweet revenge that we won the Perth test. The 2-1Test series result, in my eyes, clearly belongs to India & neverAustralia. The big desi cricketing community here that I have beenexposed to over this period also seems to agree to this school ofthought primarily.
The subject of my email is something which Bhajji said, just a fewdays ago.They feel the crown is slipping & hence r getting moreaggressive @ it. It's however clear that the Aussies aren't what theyused to be and that's what worrying them. They lost a match each toIndia & SL & they almost lost 2 matches again to India. I , as acricket fan would have really liked the 1st match to continue whichwas rain-abandoned & our last one with them did give the aussies a"Goti-Galey-Mein" situation.
Yet, it's interesting the way the sledging has been handled. Cantunderstand it. The match referee admits that Ishant Sharma wasprovoked by Hayden & Symonds, yet fines him. Bhajji is probablyprovoked everytime he breathes out there, yet in the meeting, Symondswho has incited him time and again, is left clean in the hearing postthe test-series.
Big-Fat-Arse Hayden is let-off with a reprimand after publicly denuding Bhajji.Hayden haters, please go here :http://kingcricket.blogspot.com/search/label/Matthew%20Hayden
In any troubled environment, rarely have I ever seen the instigator goscot-free.In crime, one can always claim "killed the burglar/thief/mugger inself-defence" and walk out of the court being hailed as a brave man.
A cricket field is different. No lives are at stake, although you dooccasionally see the odd column @ some individual killing himself orsomeone else over a close cricket match. Per se, it's mostly someAsian country bumpkin.
But that doesn't mean you can say or do anything. I am honestly tiredof the gutter-mouthedness of the aussies. They call it their Aussiecode of conduct. F#ck their code of conduct.I m also tired of how lamethe ICC is, as an organization. If Ganguly or even Rashid Latif .whenthey were captain, claim a false catch , the goras hand themsuspensions while Ponting goes scott-free when he claims false catches& asks Indian reporters to take a hike in a press conference for notbelieving …err his integrity… huh ! Does he have any ???
It's such a shame everything India or the Indian board does & will do,in retaliation is taken as a case of a cash-rich board's arm twistingtactics. Aussies reporters are spending realms of pages on theinternet on writing "But he did it first, miss" syndrome thatapparently Indian cricketrs are suffering from… Can anyone tell mewhat are we supposed to do, tehn ? When, on a cricket field, someoneabuses your family , we are expected to…. Err….Just sit there and takeit on the chin? In the stomach? On the groin? Well, if it's a sport,is it the Aussie code of conduct to slam your family? As Ranatungasaid it once " We know what culture the Australian culture is derivedfrom". Oh , so true..
Again, it shows how the rules are lame when goras do it. Yes, I msaying it's a surely a racial thing going on there. Take into accountthis. Why else wud the Indian High commission issue a statement toIndians in Australia to avoid staying in Aussie-strong localities inAustralia, following increased attacks on Indians there?
You know, after we lost the Sydney test, I felt there was no God.Damage control was quick to follow in Perth.
Hence, it will only be poetic justice if we defeat them in the finals& take only the 1st 2 matches for it.
If we lose, then we haven't done too bad, in the old Indian mentalityoutlook !!! But if we win, then, in my eyes, then, we would have donethe impossible, Winning the test series 2-1(yes, we did win) and thelast of the CB series.. beating the aussies there. And I know who willbe the happiest members in the Indian team
Sure, that would make the Aussies feel like they have stuck up 5fingers with TIGER balm up their dirty asses! But , by then, who caresa f#ck !
Is the Divine Power above reading this ???
