The Zing Thing

Just couldnt watch India take on Pakistan. Too weak hearted for that, instead watched Sri Lanka take on Australia. And wow the lions were playing like one. And this is a side which has been thrashed resoundingly by India and New Zealand recently. Talent was always there, why they slumped I dont know. With Murali and Vaas, I think they have a better attack than India. And Murali was right when he said batsmen are not performing and they have to get their act together. And it was a joy to watch the old Jayasuriya. Reminded me of the glory days. The child in him was back as he portrayed the same joy in his shots as a child would as he hops from one dinky car to another . I love this kind of Kiss approach. The keep it simple stupid, types. And when the shishyas Veeru & Afridi were reaping windfalls based on this strategy, how can the master stay behind.
