Weekend!

Last two days, I was at home, mainly watching the third test between India and England. Seeing the match, some weird thoughts ran into my mind..

Why don't we change the batting order of Indian batting, reversing it totally, with Sreesanth and Munaf Patel opening the innings. I think India will score more...

Why not remove some of the non-performers, and put the commentators instead, who knows exactly at what angle the bat should have moved, which direction your feet should be, what degree your head should have tilt for each shot?

Also, I would like to know whether the so-called experts would exactly know whether batting first is better or bowling before even a single ball is bowled. It is pretty easy to say something after one session of the match.

Irfan Pathan played a shot (the shot which he got out). Unfortunately, he was caught and had to leave the field. Every commentator said it was an unnecessary shot, and that Irfan was irresponsible. This to a player who had contributed (may be more than Tendulkar) in every match. I agree, it might have been an immature shot. Now, had that ball cleared the ropes, what would have been the commentator's reaction? Should have been "Wow that's a shot only Irfan can play at this juncture of the innings."

Also I pretty well know how these so-called experts reacted to such situations when they were in the field (Long Long Ago).

EASY TO PREACH EH?
