Sehwag knows where the heart is

I said India would win this test in 3 and a half days.

It only took them the best part of 3 days.

This curator should be the national hero of India tonight.

That pitch was so heavily stacked in India’s favour that them winning in a short period of time was inevitable.

Before the test, Jacques Kallis said South Africa aren’t afraid of spinners.

He was right, but this wasn’t a normal pitch, it was made to fall apart by day 3.

It was the pitch you’d expect to see in Mad Max 8, the Bollywood version, where Harbhajan drives around knocking over South Africans and laughing manically.

Hahahahahahhaaaahaaaahaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa.

You know what I mean.

Harbhajan got sent in to use the first over of the new ball, let’s not even wait for it to scuff up from 6 balls, lets just give it to Bhaji and wait for his home town magic.

He only ended up with 4 wickets, which was less than the 11 I thought he might get this innings.

Virender even popped in with a treble of his own.

Interesting how this series will be seen by the masses.

Essentially South Africa won when the pitch suited them, and India won when the pitch suited them.

A draw in India is great for a touring side, but when your one nil up going into the deciding game, to end up losing on the third day is nasty.

A draw when you’re one nil down is great, but now India have just beaten Pakistan at home, lost to Australia away and drawn with South Africa at home, it’s not a great recent history.

This series will be forgotten very soon.

All except for the great Sehwag.

His innings stands out like a great inning s in a dull series.

Like a brilliantly terrific triple century amongst boring hundreds.

Like a sh1t hot innings in a match so boring even the spectators were snoozing.

Like Natalie Portman in Where the Heart is.

Yeah, that good in a film that bad.www.cricketwithballs.com "Practice Sehwagology and kill the Probots"
