Excuse me… ?

Everyone’s seen Sachin’s knock of 200 not out. The man is in the form of his life. All those numbers everyone is writing about are simply marvellous and astounding. And all those numbers came because he played.

So when the team decided to rest him for the final ODI… one has to wonder why. For the IPL?

So this is the final squad:

Squad: M Vijay, Dinesh Karthik, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Yusuf Pathan, Ravindra Jadeja, Sudeep Tyagi, S Sreesanth, R Ashwin, Amit Mishra, Abhimanyu Mithun, Ashish Nehra

Let’s hope a clean sweep happens.

Poor taste or just witty?

Websites have a way of being funny unintentionally. Two recent spottings:

Indiatimes would take the cake, of course and this, we are sure is unintentional. Something to do with automated systems… Of course, we don’t know why Kashmira did have a bikini bath. Or what YSR’s family photos are doing in the same box as “other wife” and “dog rapist”…

Kashmira and YSR... bad taste!

And then there’s Cricinfo.com who do make it a bit witty… Mills and Broom (heh, like Mills and Boon… get it? aah). Not sure if intentional, but I’ll give them the benefit of doubt. (Headline 1 below… if you haven’t spotted it yet and if RD’s pic is overpowering the image!).

Romantic coupling!
