And Sanga goes...to Harbajan. Yes Sanga, you should be mad at yourself. Whoever gives their wicket to Harbajan when they are not playing in India should be forced to shoot a commercial with Dhoni. The commercial will be about shoe laces. Dhoni will make a cricket ball out of shoe laces only and bowl to Sanga. Sanga will hit it for a six. This commercial will soon become a movie.
Dharmasena, a former Sri Lankan cricketer and now umpire gave Sanath a wrong LBW decision. If SL lose this, Sanath can go loco on his former team-mate. The public can burn effigies and throw cow dung at Dharma's house.
Sorry...when Bhajji got that wicket, I thought we had moved to India.
True story!Over at the other game, once again the South African born Strauss is the only English batsman capable of making runs. Yes, it is important that he was born in South Africa. Don't try to tell yourself otherwise.
The wonderful Canadian cricket channel that I have is not even showing that game. So I have nothing to say about it till I see the highlights...or the rerun. Yes, cricket is so scarce here that we actually have a slot for reruns..ball by ball.

What is it with Soufricans and playing over here then wanting to be English?
Sanga has changed. He is no longer the gentleman I thought he was. "Whoever gives their wicket to Harbajan when they are not playing in India should be forced to shoot [themselves]".
Canadians? Do you have a national sport?
CT, you can't have Rudolph or Hall. They will never play in the same team as KP.
Stani, British Saffers just aren't good enough to be in the SA team. That gene mix is bad for cricket.
Our national sport is hockey.
Sanga actually wasn't a gentleman, we just deluded ourselves into thinkin as such cos he spoke english well! :(
Purn,
Ice hockey? Where guys dress up and beat each other up? Nice
Tragic,
You may be right. I knew he was a qualified lawyer, I should have guessed.
Sanga is a lawyer? Cool.
CT, what do you have against Sanga? I think he is a lovely person.
Stani, yes I should have said Ice Hockey. We just call it Hockey. And the violence is appealing. It's why I moved to Canada.
Actually, our national sport is LaCrosse. I overlooked the national part of your question. Hockey is the most popular.
Purna, I have nothin personal against Sanga, just that he's becoming the next Ponting, having had a really ugly confrontation with Younus Khan during the ODIs and then shouting at most of his own troops, including Malinga, when things weren't going wrong. I don't mind aggressiveness, but do it in the spirit of the game, like Mahela.
How 'bout the way he was pissed off at the decision by Dharmasena to give him out off Harbhajan? That was just so unbecomely of a national captain...take a cue from Sachin, who can be called the most emotionless man when given out, even if it's the momma of bad decisions!
CT, Ponting doesn't yell at his players anymore...because they are so shit that even he can't believe they are Australian players! hehe.
I didn't see the confrontation but I did see the Harbajan incident. He used to be cool and calm but I think the captaincy is getting to him. He isn't getting a lot of runs as well.
Tendulkar lacks passion. I'm sorry. He is a brilliant batsman but sometimes I feel like the game doesn't mean that much to him. Maybe that's the secret to his batting.
Check out this post on Sanga's confrontation with Younis Khan.
It was seriously ugly. Yes, Ponting has undergone a marked change and it really is pleasing to see a more pleasant side of him!
I think it would be wrong to think he lacks passion. Perhaps he knows that cricket is just a game and not a matter of life or death! He takes it easy, which I really appreciate and which is precisely the reason why he has been in int. cricket for more than 20 years without anyone questioning his place in the side! :)
Nice post. I like cricket fights though...makes some people look like such fools!
I'm blogrolling you :).
I feel that one day Punter's head is going to explode with all the swearing that he must do in there!
Are you Indian? You must not be. Otherwise you would never have said that cricket is not a game of life and death!
Purn,
Yes, you always overlook what I say.
Yes, you always overlook what I say. (Just in case you missed it the first time. What first time? hmm)
Tragic,
Thats exactly the incident I was thinking off. He's also turned miserable in the after match ceremonies. See the t20 World Cup and his comments after Pak beat Sri. At least Punter gives credit where it is due.
NO NO NO! I'm a Lankan and, frankly, there is no way i could be an indian if I said cricket is not a matter of life and death!
Like they say in India: Cricket is my religion and Sachin is my God! =D
