the Dennis Quaid experience

The last test of the ‘duller than a dead bastard monkey’ series is upon us.

Gambhir is out.

White may be as well.

Two debutantes are likely to come in.

Will they make this the most exciting test in this series.

Doubtful.

Although it doesn’t need much for it to be exciting.

40 wickets would be a start.

Both teams having a chance to win deep into the test would be cool.

And a pitch where something happens, bounce, spin, or the the ball rolling, anything.

The last series didn’t have one really close test, but it had charisma.

It was the Burt Reynolds series.

This is the Dennis Quaid series.

On paper it could have been something, but from the time it hit the screens it has been bland.

Blame the pitches, or the fact that only once has either team looked like bowling the other out.

But either way, this series has had not much going for it.

All that could change with this one test though.

I doubt it, but it could.

This series may go down as the retirement series, and very rarely is watching old men shuffle off exciting.

I would like to see Australia chasing 250 on the last day to keep the trophy, and Mishra and Bhaji trying to stop them would be nice.

Can I order one of those please?www.cricketwithballs.com... We constantly get sodomized down the legside
