Scribbling # 1

Well, My first ever blog. Seriously dunno what to write here. I used to write a lot and keep it to myself and make sure no one can see that. Of course, there are few things that can be shared. So like everyone I also thought this is the best place to write and also share with others.

And now, What am i going to write about? I am very sorry that this is not a happy beginning. There is nothing else in my mind than the incident that happened last night. I realize it is not that easy to write about it very next morning. Still, I have decided to start today and I should write about the same. Yeah, I am also in the same mood of what many other millions of Indian Cricket fans are in now. But I don't like to bash our cricket team by sending stupid SMSs to the so called news channels. Though few are really funny. It was like this " Send Sehwag back home, I would pay the flight ticket " Actually that SMS brought some laughs from me and few other friends who watched the match last night. All these SMSs are seriously of no use to the viewers. Someone is making money of it. Well well, I don't want to deviate from the subject. Of course you can forgive me for deviating, after all this is my first blog. :P.

The main reason for the loss is the decision to bat first after winning toss. Yeah yeah I agree. Many of us knew the reason. But its not that Dravid did not know about the pitch. The mistake was under estimating the opponents and thinking of having a good match practice by batting first. Taking such a hasty decision, the team had to suffer. The best thing is we lost to a test playing nation. We can at least argue and convince ourselves by that. The bitter truth is we lost to a bunch of players whose summed up runs in all the matches they have played will not even be 50% of what sachin has scored. And I always had this soft corner for Sehwag. I always had faith in him. I always argue with my friends and peers that He would be the best on his day. I dunno when that day gonna come for him. Will he be picked for the playing 11 again in this series? Good thing happened was Sehwag picked 2 wickets, both involving Dhoni. You guys must be wondering what good in that. Yeah man, They both were in my yesterday's super selector team. Lol. Dhoni having scored a duck, he would have yielded a negative score for me. Good Sehwag picked 2 wickets and 2 stumpings by Dhoni. Again, I am deviating from the subject. U know why?????? after all I am a debutant.

And after the match, I did not switch of and go to sleep, I waited for the other match to get over, Made sure that Pakistan had lost the match. Ha ha. How silly i am? Its there within every one of us you know? right from our school days. If we flunk in a test, we will convince ourselves by saying " even the next seat guy failed. No Issues. " The funnier part is, the next guy failed in an easier paper. Yeah, They lost against Ireland. Very funny huh? Okay, Serious message to end this first ever blog of mine. Decision to bat first or not has to be taken looking at the pitch and not at the opponents. Bubye.
