Last nights IPL game came down to three key elements.
Gotham Gambhir is a hell of a batsman.
He made a pretty fair attack look quite inadequate. And that wasn’t a joke about Kallis in the sack.
Glenn McGrath is still a miserly old bastard. Then again I suppose he;s a pensioner now, so he has to count the pennies. And still no one can play him.
And Dravid and Kallis are not made for this form of cricket.
Dravid is the wall.
Kallis is Bon Jovi.
Neither of them have what it takes to score at 2 runs a ball anymore.
Last night they saved their team with an 80odd run partnership.
Problem was by the time it got to winning the game they had eaten up all the balls and they let Boucher do the heavy lifting.
Why you would pay Kallis a kabillion dollars to play IPL is beyond me.
Yes he can play cricket, but this is not cricket, its 2020, a hybrid of soft core porn, a kiddies show and one day cricket.
Let us not forget, Bon Jovi never made it out of the suburbs.
Dravid is a superstar, arguably the most dependable batsman India have ever had.
But this is not the 4th day at Karachi with Younis bowling reverse swing, this is slogorama, and Dravid can’t slog.
Delhi on a bit....
