Thriller

Seeing the heart stopping  thriller between Ind-Sri yesterday, it becomes plain that  Jayasurya- the  Matara Mauler  is back to his best. There was hardly a ball he mistimed.  Nevertheless,  it was an exciting match.  Following are a few interesting observations about the match which  could be shared.

This was the match

 - Which was played between India vs Jayasurya.

 - Which was played between India vs Srilanka A  as both Murli and Vaas were out.

 - Where Sehwag and Zaheer have finally begun to redeem themselves. Still a  long way to go.

 - Where one saw John Wright both curse and smile  - as a rare sight as is Hailey's Comet.

 - Where one witnessed astonishing show of running between the wickets by Srilankans.

 - Where it's finally proven that Jayasurya's runs better on one leg than what Sehwag and Ganguly do on both.

 - Where Umpires forgot to give LBWs and Wides. As much as 3 wides were denied in last two overs of the match.  There was a definite reason.  The reason was Chandana's decision to run even after ball got deflected of the bat.  Nothing illegal in it, but then, nothing illegal in Umpires refusing marginal wides, either.

 - Where Jayawardhane lost his cool for no reason.  After hitting Sehwag for a six straight down the ground, he actually went and ran a whole run,  despite Jayasurya had hardly moved.

 - Where Ganguly tried his best that Zaheer Khan gets players contract at any cost. Despite  Zaheer being a doubtful starter,  Nehra being in a reasonably good form - former is included and latter is chucked out.

 - Where it's officially proven that Kumble and Harbhajan never bowl good together. Either of them buckle - not sure if this is peer pressure.  It has happened  umpteenth number of times.

 - Where Pakistan must have choked at the end of the match and Shoaib Akhtar would have learned about the pathetic point system the hard way.

 - Finally, where commentators made most despicable mistake  not awarding man of  the match to Jayasurya. Indian bias clearly showed.
