I'm an Indian, now in the USA. I still long for the days I used to sit on my couch back in India and watch a gritty test match or a tantalizing ODI. But the RSA vs AUS match made me forget that India won!<br><br>Though one thing struck me... India won in little over three days... and both sides actually had to play 2 innings, in a test that was won only in the penultimate session. And then there's the ODI in question. Isn't batting getting a bit too fast nowadays? We need something to even the odds in favor of the bowlers i guess. Maybe load the cricket ball, so that it dips throughout the match. Or make the ball so that one side has a natural propensity to wear out compared to the other. More chance of reverse swing. I have a few words on my blog about this.<br><br>Well, whatever happens, kudos to the Springboks for the best run chase ever!Rahul IyerTue, 14 Mar 2006 06:06:00 -0000http://paulmwatson.com/journal/2006/03/13/homesick-cricket/#comment-1280200Pretty insane game so I hear.<br><br>I had a half hour chat with Sed back in SA all about it (I couldn't stop him actually).<br><br>How you doin' man?<br><br>Happened accross your blog by complete accident.<br><br>Check mine out if you like (its mostly pictures), but gives you an idea.Ross GraterMon, 13 Mar 2006 10:06:00 -0000
