In praise of mediocrity

Yesterday’s cricket in Dunedin was a day of tempered disappointments and achievements. Early wickets tempered by a strong comeback tempered by Taylor’s failure to get a hundred. A middle order collapse tempered by a lower-middle order recovery. Rather a frustrating day. New Zealand did barely enough to stay in the match, but at least the match is alive.

In Kanpur things were about as different as they could get. India, scoring 417/2 in one day, have taken a stranglehold on the match. In fact, they have probably already choked the match to death.

    Well…you can’t blame India for killing of the game. It is just due to some ineffective bowling from SL. In fact, there is still a chance for an outcome. The spinners seem to have started doing better now. Well bowled Rangana Herath!
