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!</p><p>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.</p><p>Well, whatever happens, kudos to the Springboks for the best run chase ever!</p>Rahul IyerTue, 14 Mar 2006 06:06:00 -0000http://paulmwatson.com/journal/2006/03/13/homesick-cricket/#comment-1280200<p>Pretty insane game so I hear.</p><p>I had a half hour chat with Sed back in SA all about it (I couldn't stop him actually).</p><p>How you doin' man?</p><p>Happened accross your blog by complete accident.</p><p>Check mine out if you like (its mostly pictures), but gives you an idea.</p>Ross GraterMon, 13 Mar 2006 10:06:00 -0000
