We do not see dead straight roads nor do we see the railtracks without curves.
Cricket too witnesses some games that can hardly be called straightforward.
The Champions Trophy encounter between WI and Aus at the Brabourne was one such. Needing just about 30 odd runs at run a ball with 5 wickets in hand, and then ending your quota of overs with 9 pins down and eleven strokes in deficit does not go down well with what the team is known for. But Australia did just that. Strange but true.
And in the meelee, was lost a rather poignant moment. Jerome Taylor became the First ever Windies bowler to pick a trio-on-trot in the shorter version of the game.
What bearing this result has in store in terms of the Championship has to be seen in the days to come. Just that India’s chances of breaking into the Semis will get a tad sqeezy if it all goes down to the wire.
