Vacation, Christmas gifts and Poll Results
Vacation was lazy...
I am back from vacation! Got some great Christmas gifts too. Seeing how my life revolves around cricket, it was no surprise that my friends bought me the appropriate gifts. I still pretended to be surprised though!
The booty...
The girlfriend bought Cricket and the Law for me! Thanks S! This is a bit of a heavier read but it discusses cricket's evolution, the rules, how they came to be broken, the fine line between sportsmanship and the law. Quite cool. Pakistan is featured quite a bit! Hmm...I wonder why!?
Another friend bought Cricket's Strangest Matches for me. I had been eyeing this book for a while now. But ofcourse its always less fun when one has to buy it himself. Been through a few pages so far and It's quite cool. It goes way back to crickets first games. Though not certain, I believe it includes games up till the early 90's.
Poll predicts South African victory
So the omarlovescricket poll of the fortnight has revealed that 63 percent of the world* thinks South Africa will win the test series against India. More on this later
*19 people to be precise

Cheers Omar and welcome back.
Thanks for your comments on my blog. I think India can actually win the series from this point on. The Proteas will need to get 8 Indian wickets in the time between the start of the days play and till weather/light intervenes.
Now, if India show positive intent right from the outset, a few boundaries here and there, and the Proteas will be on the backfoot, with the pressure squarely on them. However, if the Indians go defensive, you an bet your bottom dolar that we will see 2 guys under the helmet, 5 slips and the Proteas going for all out atack. But methinks India will opt for option 1 :)
Looking forward to your comments on the Pakistan team selection for SA.
And Have a WONDERFUL NEW YEAR !!!

Well - India lost that test match. The middle order and tail folded pretty badly....
But atleast Ind holds the upper hand in the 3rd game. They need to get early wickets....
