Arrogant Aussies..

Unfortunately, the first test between India and Australia ended in a draw. As an ardent Indian cricket lover, I expected the match to go India's way after the great recovery produced by Zaheer and Bajji, who had been burdened with the extra responsibility to prove their worth with the bat. Zaheer stole the show from the Australians who seemed venomous and strong but proved that they are a bunch of 11 clowns who lost their course after the Turbanator and Zaheer took charge of the bat. When top order batsmen like Sachin and Laxman couldn't hold on to their crease for long, these two boys who are on the side just to take care of the bowling department did more than what was actually expected from them and proved the world Australians aren't as hard as they used to describe themselves. Had Bajji not been affected by the first degree cramp on his left leg, he would have stayed for a much longer time at the crease and would have even made efforts to reach his first test match century. To avoid making him feel lonely, Zaheer would have jumped in the party to put up another 3 figure individual score on the scorecard. Australian bowling lacked the vigor that was found in it when bowlers like McGrath occupied a spot in the team. Also, the side lacked basic courtesy and respect for the game and the opponent players as well. Even after ICC warned players to stay away from on-field sledging, Shane Watson tried to play dirty tricks on Zaheer who was in a great touch with his bat. Watson was totally unlucky because all his efforts went up with the flames and Zaheer moved steadily towards a half century. Australians were totally lost and Ponting would have started weeping right in front of the Bengaluru crowd for being such an ineffective captain and failing to capitalize on the initial breakthroughs in the form of Sachin's and Laxman's wickets. His frustration burst out at the end of the game and he took it on Zaheer for a general press statement released by the latter. Now, the entire Australian nation is frustrated by the way Indians stole the limelight and the Australian media found this as a better one than a good reason to drag the Indian team over the coal. The media came up with whatever issue was available which can rightly be defined by few words like senseless, stupid, absurd, insane and everything more close to these. Allegations are totally against Dada, who, according to Australian media, forced the umpires to consider stopping the play temporarily due to bad light. I never knew Australian media are so stupid and I thought Indian version is the worst in the world. A batsman can request the umpires to consider dropping the play for few minutes in case the quality of light becomes too low. They proceed by saying that Ganguly took 5 minutes to enter the field back again after all the Australian team members came out to the field. Hey, what were the Australians doing the whole day? Were they waiting for these 5 minutes to bag the 6 wickets that were left at that time? 6 wickets in 5 minutes? Are they trying to tell us Australians made it a part of a big plan to make a world record by capturing 6 wickets in 5 minutes after giving up all the time they were left with on that day? This forces me to conclude with only one statement.

'We've been watching our Indian players play against a team of 11 jesters for the past 5 days who were trained by a master jester in the name of a coach'

Bengal reckons bad time..

West Bengal is having a really tough time. The bad has now transformed into the worst for the state. It's not a surprise though, because such unprecedented incidents are quite common in states ruled by the Communists in India. In such states, people should be held responsible for their misery. Believing in the capabilities of Communist Party of India is a blunder and the bigger mess up was brought down by the people of these states by giving the Communists of India the privilege to govern the regions. Now, they are paying through their noses to compensate for the unforgivable gaffe which resulted in the slow economic progress in the states that come under the Red umbrella. As a result, the country's overall economic progress would have been hampered at least to a small extent. First, it was Tata's Nano project which was literally thrown away by the Government of West Bengal just because it failed to control the so called raging opposition in the state. Mamata Banerjee should be considered here for playing the role of a screw driver extremely well. She drafted the entire plan to screw the state, knowing pretty well that the ruling communist party is totally incapable of handling such pressures. She very well knew communists are here only to print blood red posters and wear a red dress during protests against privatization, start giving lectures to a huge mass against whatever the Central Government sometimes plans for the welfare of the nation which is quite unusual. What can you expect more from a state ruled by such an inefficient group of political anomalies? If Nano had been rolled out from West Bengal, the state would have enjoyed so many advantages. Now, successfully communists spoiled the supper by being too hesitant to take a clear decision. Meanwhile, Tata, who considers time precious unlike politicians, made decisions briskly and decided to move to Gujarat which accepted to provide 1000 acres of land for the installation of an auxiliary plant. The voice of the communists in Gujarat was as low as my kitten's mew. That was where Gujarat rose above West Bengal. Another inauspicious blow for West Bengal was Ganguly's announcement regarding his retirement after the on going Test series against Australia. With days becoming more gloomy and uncertain for Bengal, nobody can tell for sure what would take the state through another twist.
