Alrightey then.
Not much to say other than the fact that I loved the way the Bangaldeshis took the game away from us. I had never heard of Tamim Iqbal, Mushfiqur Rahim, Saqibul Hassan and Mashrage Mortaza before but now I will follow the rest of their careers with great interest. Especially young Tamim Iqbal - what a blithe spirit!
It’s a bit galling that a 17 yr old, an 18 yr old and a 19 yr old has beaten a team that had 3 players who have scored more than 10000 ODI runs. Anyways, life goes on and so do those horrible TV ads that star our cricketers.
Blue, is truly the color. Nahi Ladega toh Nahi Jeetega.
Now, if blue ruled one channel, it was green all the day the other channel. It was St. Paddy’s Day and the Irish were in awesome form on and off the field against Pakistan. If you thought India Vs Bangladesh was a bit weird, this match was completely ridiculous. The Barmy Army finally has competition from The Blarney Army and the stands were a sea of green in clover. I also Brian Jerling give Andre Bota out - the worst decision I had ever seen since my bad decision to get married. Incredible, even Stevie Wonder would have given that as not out. The Bangladeshis were very muted with their celebrations, just a few hi-fives and handshakes all around which was very much in contrast to what those mad Micks did when they finally beat the Pakis. Incredible. The largest World Cup ever has now become the most open World Cup ever. Good stuff.
And finally, Scarlet was the color in Australia as F1 2007 got underway. Kimi in his new Ferrari clockied up their first wins of the season. Perfect, I say.

kimi in a red suit, in a red car, on the podium is excellent therapy for cricket hearbreak
