Uneventful

1000

Nothing eventful happened this week, when i was down with fever and cold. But yeah, one definatly noteworthy thing was that my Flickr Photostream got viewed 1000 times :)

Also, India bounced back quite convincingly in the second match of the 5 match series to level the series at 1-1. It was a treat to the eyes to watch Sehwag bat effortlessly. Poor fellow, he had a real horribly unlucky dismissal with the ball coming straight down on the stumps when it was thrown from the thirdman boundary, and that too after the wicket keeper missed to hold the ball in his hands !!! Now, thats called "destined to be out" :)

Apart from watching DDLJ [ yeah again !!! ... not sure if this was the 43rd or the 44th time i watched :p .. come on .. i dont even count it now :) ], and "Two Week's Notice", I also watched the great Muralidharan [ i hope he spelt it numerologically right here :p ] innings :) in the second of the best fo three finals between Sri Lanka and Australia. Sri Lanka undoubtedly had no answer to Australia's 368. Sadly, i didnt watch the Aussie innings when Symonds and Ponting butchered their attack. But watching Murali bat was some fun. He hit 2 huge sixes of Brad Hogg. Then i heard the commentators say that Murali had created a new world record of conceeding the highest number of runs in a limited over match. 99 - 0 for the record. He did salvage some pride by scoring 22 later on, with 2 sixes and a boundary. Mind you, all these were good cricketing shots, not just the swing of the bat, in Srinath style :)

  1. It's really surprising for a person with Murali's stature to have that kind of record.

  2. I guess that's what a Symonds in pure butchering mood can do :)
