Colombo Test musings…

The contradiction…
Every time someone says “Test cricket is not dead”, it moves one more inch towards the grave.
Every time someone says “IPL is dead”, it moves one more inch towards revival.

Kohli probably said: I shan’t sledge.
Sharma probably heard: Ishant sledge.

Foreign Tests…
First 5 wickets—Indian bowlers keep doing high fives.
Next 5—The tail-enders keeps doing high fives.

Indian bowlers aren’t scared of the best batsmen in the world.
But tail-enders come in their nightmares.

Yesterday…
When Sachin gets out, the Indian fan puts off the TV set.
Today…
In foreign Tests when the opposition’s 5th wicket falls, the Indian fan puts off the TV set.
