Galle annihilation musings…

Yesterday…
We can snatch draw from the jaws of innings victory.
Today…
We can snatch defeat from the jaws of innings victory.

At every emigration counter…
Official—Do you have anything you want to leave behind?
Indian cricketers—Yes, our Test playing abilities!

If the opposition is 99-9 chasing 300 in Tests, then you still can’t put your money on India.

How did you celebrate independence and freedom today?
Indian batsmen—By playing free and independent shots and getting out!
‪#‎IndependenceDay‬ ‪#‎IndVsSL‬ ‪#‎Galle‬

From 2011-15, India has 2 ICC tournament victories and 2 foreign Test victories.

Foreign Tests…
Sachin-Dravid-VVS failed in 2011.
Dhoni failed in 2013-14.
Kohli failed in 2015.
‪#‎NoHope‬

BCCI logic…
Rohit is 28.
He will score a couple of Test triples one day.
That’s why we have to play him for 10 years till he does that!

BCCI’s top priorities…
1. Cash.
2. IPL.
3. ODIs.
4. T20s.
5. Home Tests.
6. Away Tests.
Don’t expect a change—it is doing spectacularly by its own standards!

If Srini is watching the Galle Test now, he’ll be saying…
Mere Dhoni main kya burai thi?

Rohit Sharma in Tests…
1. Struggles at home.
2. Struggles away.
3. Struggles against spin.
4. Struggles against pace.
5. Struggles while defending.
6. Struggles while attacking.
Talent quotient 10/10, expect a Test triple in 2017.

No matter how many chances you give Rohit Sharma in an innings or in a career, he will still throw them away.

Three spinners in the Playing XI and no Sir Jadeja even in the squad.
The times they are a changing!
