Big 3 nahin to Little 3 hi sahi…

Overheard…
VVS to SRT/Dravid: Bas Sri Lanka tour nikaal lo bhai logon… next foreign pitch tour is at the very end of 2013. We can easily play till then!
Yuvi-Raina-Rohit: Looks like we will be the “Allegedly Next Big 3” to retire from Tests and not them!
Sehwag: And I actually thought I could bat up the order!
BCCI: The only constant is (we will not) change.

∙ History first repeats itself as a tragedy (England tour) and then as a farce (Australia tour).

∙ Happy Republic Day!
However, no Independence Day from the farce of Indian batting on foreign pitches.

∙ Theme song of the Indian batting is Hum Saath Saath Hai
They hit form together and collapse together.

I love my pitches of India…

Indian batsmen are tigers on Indian Test pitches and lambs abroad. Their theme song…

Please sing to the tune of I love my India from the movie Pardes

London dekha, Melbourne dekha,
London dekha, Melbourne dekha,
Aur dekha Birmingham,
Oval dekha, Sydney dekha,
Sab dekha meri jaan,
Saare jag main kahin nahin hai doosra Pitch-e-Hindustan,
Doosra Pitch-e-Hindustan,
Doosra Pitch-e-Hindustan.

Ye duniya ek uljhan,
Ye duniya ek uljhan,
Ulhano ke uljhan main Team India,
Ye mera Team India,
Ye mera Team India,
I love my pitches of India,
I love my pitches of India.

Jab chheda stumps ko kisi ne,
Jhoom ke doosra wicket bhi gira,
Aag lagi jaise pitch main ab,
Deepak raag sunaaya pacers ne,
Saare wicket-o ka sangam bane opposition ki mala,
Hum apne Bhagwaan ko bhi kehate hain beshatak wala,
Beshatak wala,
Beshatak wala.

Ye mera Team India,
I love my pitches of India,
Ye mera Team India,
I love my pitches of India.

(Original song: I love my India.
Film: Pardes.
Year: 1997.)
