A Nice Trend ....!

I am happy with this.

Yeah , the bowlers are calling the shots atleast for the first few matches of the ICC Champions Trophy.Its a nice trend since 300 plus scores has become almost inevitable during ODI matches and like many others I felt that the fair contest between the bat and the ball was missing.

I am very critical of the people who say that these kind of pitches are substandard.I beg to differ simply because a good pitch must provide something for both the batsmen & the bowlers and these pitches are doing the same unlike others.

In my opinion, the tracks which provide 300 plus scores easily are the culprits for spoiling the game and is guilty of taking away the charm from an cricket match.These are the pitches that must be termed as substandard.

The Batsmen who licked their lips coming to India cannot tolerate this disappointment because their batting techniques would come under the scanner.
We would come to know the difference between 'boys' and 'men' during this tournament because of the fact that those players whom we think are great may not be so and viceversa.

The bowlers are back in action in an ODI game and such pitches would surely inspire some of them to actually perform to their best .I hope this trend will continue and I am only to say 'Touchwood'.


P.s. This is for all those who said that a blog for sport was missing.
