Part 1: Written well before the start of the WI-Eng match
An inconsequential match between two teams that have played utterly uninspiring (to be charitable) cricket over the past month or so, would hardly have been expected to send the TRPs soaring. But all that will probably change as a result of attaining the status of being 'Lara`s last'. I`m sure there are many - like myself - who would be keen on watching this batting genius walk off the field for one final time.
My earliest memory of Lara, was probably just hearing his name in late 1991 and thinking to myself what an unusual last name it was. I remember for 3 things related to the 1992 World Cup:
1.I felt sorry for him since he had to retire hurt on 88 in a thumping 10 wicket win
over Pakistan.
2.He along with Phil Simmons thumped Kapil Dev and Manoj Prabhakar all over the park.
3.His was the least impressive of the 6 catches featured in the Classic catches contest run during the tournament – and ended up being ranked No.6 as expected.
His 277 against Australia created quite a buzz, but I saw only bits of that innings and remember it more for the fact that he was run out. A magnificent 153 against Pakistan at Sharjah stands out in memory. Those were days when West Indies was actually a powerhouse, and at one time in 1993 topped both the Test and ODI team rankings by PwC(hard to believe but true). Then of course, 375 and 501 happened. There was also a 169 against Sri Lanka at Sharjah in 1995 and a very good 111 against SA in the 1996 World Cup. But even after all this I felt that Lara was an overrated batsman(today I can`t imagine why) and that the numbers do not tell the actual story.
Following this there was a huge slump, during which he hardly made any impact at all. I remember consciously looking out for good Lara innings just to see what the fuss was all about. On digging through articles I found that this slump lasted from November 1996 to March 1999 – period during which he averaged just 36.00 in Tests. This was the period in which Sachin Tendulkar had clearly established himself as the Number 1 batsman in the world. I remember the following words spoken by Ian Chappel while commentating during the 1998 Australian tour of India – “There was a time when I used to debate in my mind as to who was the better batsman – Lara or Tendulkar, and I put Lara slightly ahead. But Lara really seems to have lost the plot over the last couple of years, and there is NO DOUBT in my mind about who is the better player now.”
But then, the 1999 Australian tour of West Indies arrived – and everything changed. West Indies were at an all time low after getting bowled out for 51 in the 4th innings of the First Test. Lara first came up with a scintillating 213 – during the course of which he dismantled Stuart MacGill- to win the second Test. Then came the greatest test innings I`ve ever seen, as part of the greatest Test match I`ve ever seen. I`m glad that his 153* is almost universally agreed upon as a masterpiece of unmatched quality – apart from being rated by Wisden as the 2nd best test innings ever played. From this point on, I never dared to question Lara`s credentials. A memorable sequence of events during that innings went as follows. McGrath bowls a short ball that hits Lara on the helmet – Lara comes down for a single and gives a piece of his mind to McGrath, to which McGrath responds equally in kind – the umpire intervenes - Lara is back on strike a ball later – McGrath bowls one short of a length – Lara smashes it through mid-wicket for four – the crowd goes wild. The late David Hookes said during commentary “If that doesn`t make the hair stand up on the back of your neck, nothing else will”.
Part 2: Written halfway through the England innings
Sadly for him, several of his stellar performances in later matches came in hopeless losing causes – redefining the term ‘lone ranger’. His mind-boggling exploits in Sri Lanka, the 28 run over off Robben Peterson, the 2006 tour of Pakistan, and the tours of Australia stand out as examples. Of course one cannot forget the superhuman 400* -breaking the world record on the same ground against the same opposition almost exactly 10 years after he had broken it first.
In his last test match in Australia(against whom came most of his memorable innings) he scored a double hundred(yet another Man of the Match award in a losing cause). Richie Benaud said the following words during the presentation ceremony in tribute to Lara: “The yardstick I use to identify a great player is whether or not I would pay money and come to the ground just to watch him bat. Lara is one player who has always passed that test ”.
I wanted to watch LIVE, Lara`s final innings in international cricket. Unfortunately a personal commitment kept me out of the house at that time. I will however stay up and watch him walk off the field for one final time. He is not ending on a high whether from his team`s perspective or his own. But he has done more than enough over the past decade and a half to make this a sweet rather than bitter moment – a moment of reflection, with a tinge of sadness, and quite possibly a tear or two welling up in the eyes.
Thanks for the memories Brian…you will be missed!!
Part 3: Written after the end of the match
Great match .. more importantly, the tears did well up though they managed to stay inside(unlike in the case of a pretty lady at the ground) …. felt a big lump in the throat as well |

[Mar. 24th, 2007|12:05 pm] |
The one thing that has been more disappointing than India`s loss to Sri Lanka is the badgering of a man of Greg Chappel`s stature by a bunch of immature media persons trying to vent their anger somewhere........the transcript below of the post-match press conference shows that there is practically no difference between those idiots who burn players` effigies, and 'responsible' members of the press - when it comes to putting things in perspective and thinking rationally:
( The Badgering )
He sure must be ruing the day he decided to take up this job...and this press conference would surely scare the pants off anyone considering taking it up in the future.
The pressmen were definitely kinder to Rahul Dravid, but even he had to face some crap like "Do you realise the enormity of this defeat?","Have some players overstayed their welcome?","Shouldn't some one stand up and take responsibility?" and the likes...
Rahul`s best rebuttal came for the following question..
The captain and coach keep saying 'everything is fine, we are going to win.' Why doesn't it happen?
I haven't come across a single captain or coach as yet, who starts before a match saying we are going to lose it. Nobody will come to a press conference and say that we are going to lose the match. That's not what you do. Definitely, we expect our batsmen and our bowlers and everyone to do well.
Tough times for Indian cricket ... though not as diabolical as they are for Pakistan cricket! |

| An Insane amount of Pressure!! |
[Mar. 22nd, 2007|10:34 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  anxious | ] |
The mood of pretty much an entire nation, would be determined by events that transpire in the wee hours of the morning(IST)of Saturday, the 26th of March 2007. It`s hard to predict whether the cricket-crazy millions will experience ecstacy or absolute dejection. But one thing that is certain, is that the 11 who take the field on Friday wearing the India colours would feel pressure - the likes of which they would never have experienced.
The format of this World Cup has a lot to do with this. In 1999 or 2003, if a team failed to make it to the super six they would only miss out on being part of the tournament for an additional 12 matches(with a potential to play in 3-5 out of those 12), having already played 5 or 6 matches. But this time around, a team would be out for a period which sees 27 matches being played, out of which it could have played 6-8 -- having played ONLY 3 already.
It is that fear/apprehension of 'missing out on the action' that has heightened the feeling of desperation among cricket followers in the country. It would be easy to shrug off the disappointment of not making it to the semis - but missing out on the Super 8`s would be pretty much impossible to digest. If this match was against a team like Australia, maybe(just maybe) many of us would have been able to relax by resigning ourselves to the near certainty of elimination. But the opponent happens to be Sri Lanka, whom in spite of doing brilliantly in ODIs recently in places like NZ and England, would be considered by most of us as being eminently beatable - a classic 50-50 case.
All these factors contribute to the sheer enormity of the pressure on the Indian team`s shoulders. They know they will be reviled(unjustifiably so) by large sections of the not so knowledgeable/sensible/reasonable/empathetic cricket-watching public in India. They know their families could be harassed, and their property(even ones under construction, it seems) could be defiled/damaged. Heads would roll...they would hear the usual crap on shows like 'Cricket Controversies' about how they spend all their time with endorsements and don`t care about their performance.... Navjot Singh Sidhu will indulge in vulgar buffoonery at the top of his voice...Bishen Singh Bedi would speak again like he was the only honourable cricketer ever born in this country.This is of course in addition to the immense disappointment that they themselves would feel on missing out progressing in such a hugely anticipated tournament - with a lacklustre performance against Bangladesh to blame.
So, my heart goes out to the 11 who will be part of this match - one of the most anticipated in recent times in this country. The batsman especially would keep hearing a voice in their heads urging them to play it safe even when the ball is there to be hit. It sure is gonna be terribly hard for any of the Indian batsman to play their natural game. And, fielders who drop catches should expect to hear their names being mentioned in only that context for a while to come. Good luck to anyone who gets under one of those skiers.
I guess there aren`t gonna be too many people staying late in office tomorrow. I`m signing now off with my fingers crossed...hope to be able to make a 2-3 line entry in absolute joy roughly 28 hours from now.
ALL THE BEST FELLAS!! |

For the past 3 1/2 months I`ve prided myself on the immaculate scratch-free maintenance of my car. I`ve kept telling people that a sensible approach to driving(like mine) was necessary to be scratch-free in the midst of Chennai`s maddening and unruly traffic. I used to sneer and snicker at the cars around me - most of which had very noticeable scratches.
And today ... for no fault of mine ... my car`s right back door sports a big ugly '4-lane' scratch plus a long streak of red paint - all because some brainless impatient bus driver tried to act too smart...what exactly he was trying to do, i still don`t know!!! Aaaah...I might as well drive rash and get some scratches! This is soo unfair.
This is just the kind of thing Nelson Muntz(from the Simpsons) would point at and say Haa-ha. |

I was watching Seinfeld the other day, which airs during the highly inconvenient 00:00-00:30 slot. This is the episode where Jerry`s car gets stolen along with a set of golf clubs that once belonged to JFK.
Kramer is driving around with Newman in a truck, when somewhere in Ohio, he spots a car that looks exactly like the one that got stolen from Jerry. He also notices that it had an NY registration. He verbalizes both these observations, and then goes on to say 'My God, that must be Jerry`s car'. Newman asks 'Are you sure'? Kramer replies 'Well, it has an NY registration , and we are in Ohio. So I`d say the odds are pretty good!'
Kramer`s reply to Newman not only exhibits sound logic, but is also laced with subtle humour! Now, doesn`t that go against the basic philosophy of KRAMER? Isn`t Kramer-logic usually at loggerheads with conventional logic? And isn`t any humour emanating from Kramer always a result of the weirdness of his actions/words rather than any deliberate attempts on his part?
There is another similar example from F.R.I.E.N.D.S ...In the Season 1 Finale wherein Rachel finds out that Ross has a crush on her, she asks joey "what else did he say? I mean, does he, like, want to go out with me?" to which Joey replies "Well, given that he's desperately in love with you, he probably
wouldn't mind getting a cup of coffee or something." ...There again isn`t that something an anti-Joey would say, rather than the real Joey? |

India (likely): 1 Virender Sehwag (capt), Wasim Jaffer, 3 Mohammad Kaif, 4 Sachin Tendulkar, 5 Dinesh Karthik, 6 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (wk), 7 Irfan Pathan, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Zaheer Khan, 10 Anil Kumble, 11 Sreesanth.
Hmmm...that certainly isn`t a sight that inspires too much confidence in a keen follower of Indian cricket. In an ideal world, only 5 of the above would be able to enter the Indian ODI team. But the severe resource crunch - caused by a combination baffling dips in form, unfortunate injuries and weird selection policies - means that this is the eleven that is entrusted with the task of saving the series, against a powerful South African team. I would be delighted - though terribly surprised if they manage to pull it off!
And...can someone please tell me why these sports journalists keep saying Sreesanth possesses extra 'pace' and 'nip'?? I haven`t seen anything of that sort so far!! |

"This is very much correct thing to do. Anyways, the pupil of this great county must start realizing the respect for law and order, else we should forget the dream of becoming a asian superpower."
In addition to pathetic verbal skills, this dude who posted this on rediff.com exhibits a complete lack of understanding of the situation at hand!!
Common people cannot be expected to know the umpteen procedures/rules/checks/licenses involved in the registration of a residential/commercial property. Government officials who handle such issues certainly CAN and SHOULD. It`s a no-brainer that such an official`s negligence or incompetence can easily lead to the construction of "illegal" property without the concerned party being aware of the same.
That being the case, how can the courts be justified in ordering the sealing and/or demolition of such properties - in some cases decades after construction? When the fault lies with those corrupt officials who have lived happily with their SECURE jobs, aren`t THEY the ones who should be punished?
Instead, thousands of traders are being bereaved of their only source of income, with NO alternatives being offered - all in the name of 'upholding the law'! In that case shouldn`t these traders be returned all the taxes they paid the Government while carrying out their "illegal" trade?
There are plenty of humane and sensitive routes the supreme court could have taken to handle this issue - but it sadly chose not to take even one of them! |

[Oct. 25th, 2006|05:51 am] |
Newspapers,television newsreaders and commentators tend to use the phrase 'must-win game' in too much of a hurry. On most occasions, the team playing the so-called must-win game would still have a chance of progressing in the competition even if it loses.
Now yesterday, after Sri Lanka lost to SA, Tony Greig emphatically asserted that Sri Lanka CANNOT go through to the semis as a result of their current Net run rate situation. He actually said they can "pack their bags and go home". I kept thinking about it really wondered whether I was missing something.
1. Sri Lanka`s NRR won`t change from here. It is a constant.
2. Both NZ and SA can lose to Pak, as a result of which Pak will have 3 wins
and go through. Further, each of the 3 remaining teams would have one win
each in the matches involving them. So it comes down to NRR. Until here,
even Tony Greig is in agreement with me.
3. I just can`t understand how SL can have NO CHANCE of going through. It is
quite possible that NZ and SA get beaten by a 100 runs each against Pak -
stranger things have happened in cricket. So it is very much possible
that the NRRs of both SA and NZ slip below that of SL. In fact on doing the
right calculations, it can be seen the the results of these 2 matches don`t
even need to be THAT drastic for SL to go through.
I`m not making a prediction or anything, but just for the sake of Tony Greig feeling stupid about himself, I hope things turn out exactly as described above. For the sake of some attractive cricket though, I hope it is Pak and SA that go through. |

Hmm...it`s been a fairly eventful month and a bit since I posted my last entry. I`ve finally found a 15-20 minute stretch of time in which I can conveniently write the next one..
I joined the new job of course on the 18th of September ... hmm...the painful 'process' of getting my employee ID, email ID etc. took ages to chug along across each level of 'license raj'-type bureaucracy .... and the delays were big enough to ensure that I didn`t get my salary for the period from 18th-30th of September( I hear that PROCESSES dictate that, that amount will get credited only on the 7th working day of November....aren`t PROCESSES supposed to make life better??)...other than that work has been just SMASHING:-)
More importantly though, yours truly became an Uncle on the 1st of October. Yes...my big bully of a brother, my childhood tormentor has now stepped into the responsible role of a Father:-) I really adore the kid, and he`s great fun to be around, notwithstanding his capacity to rattle the building with his high-pitched cries... He is extremely expressive and thoughtful- you would think he`s solving Fermat`s theorem, from the look on his face.
I`ve always considered it a bit of a feminine thing to get excited about babies...but it`s hard NOT to get excited when one arrives under your own roof..but I do maintain that it`s very important to focus on the fact that he is not just a..well..BABY!! He is a person in the making....and he`s going to have face the big bad world soon! It is important for people around him(including me)to prepare him for the umpteen emotional turmoils that life has to offer....
I would be a great source of advice for him... as I`ve made more mistakes in life than anyone I know....and really lost out so many good things. It`s too late to rectify all that...but I would be happy if I can play a part in ensuring that he doesn`t miss out anythin he shouldn`t.
Here are my initial words of wisdom for my nephew...
1.Never compromise on how good you can be at something
2.Never seek out 'friends' who are not really your friends ...
3.Chocolates are poison....ice-cream causes brain-damage ... the Gym is
your temple!!
4.Have a talk with ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) kshah if you ever considering smoking
5.Your parents are right most of the time...but your paternal uncle is
ALWAYS right!
Many more will follow...
Here`s a great life ahead for you,kid! |

I`m gonna miss my boss - the best anyone can hope to get - truly a gem of a person....at the risk of sounding cliched he truly was a friend, philosopher and guide.
I`m gonna miss many more people...my cabin, the building, the parking lot, the canteen which serves terrible food, a couple of the HR women who stand out among the rest....
Hmmm... enough of the sentiments.... I should look forward to a new chapter in the new company... of course all that will change if I`m in a sucky team with a sucky boss... I could get panic attacks...I know I`m capable of that... So that could well be the subject of my next post...hmm...let`s hope not...

| French Open -Men vs Women |
[Sep. 7th, 2006|03:36 pm] |
| [ | mood |
| |  curious | ] |
If we consider the 18 calendar years between 1989 and 2006, there are a total of NINE French Open Men`s singles winners who have never won any of the other Grand Slams:
Michael Chang, Andres Gomez, Sergi Bruguera , Thomas Muster, Gustavo Kuerten, Carlos Moya, Alberto Costa, Juan Carlos Ferrero, Gaston Gaudio and Rafael Nadal.
For the same period, among the women there are only TWO such players:
Iva Majoli and Anastasia Myskina
Even if you discount Michael Chang and Rafael Nadal from the earlier list considering how good the former got, and the latter is getting, at the other Slams, the gender-contrast is striking!
So…what explains this?
Is it just that that some of the most dominant male players in this period (Becker, Sampras, Federer) haven`t adapted well enough to clay (even Agassi won just one French Open out of a total of 8 slams), while their female counterparts such as Seles, Graf, Serena and Henin haven`t had such problems? One might counter that by saying that both Davenport and Hingis have won all the Slams other than the French Open.
Is it just a case of there being an abundance of claycourt specialists around in the men`s circuit? If yes, is there a logical explanation why the same phenomenon does not occur in the women’s circuit? |

I was wondering if this day would ever come...but here it is at last. I put in my papers this morning. The original plan was to do the deed yesterday morning... but it turned out my boss had some personal matters to take care off and didn`t come in at all yesterday.
This morning wasn`t without its moments of frustration either. I came(once again) all mentally prepared for the big talk with my boss. To my consternation he wasn`t in his seat and it was way past his usual swipe-in time. It got even more frustrating when he wasn`t replying to my SMSes and calls. At around 11:30 I was pretty much resigned to the prospect of waiting till Monday to set things in motion. That was when I got an IM from him indicating he was in.
As luck would have it he started telling me how he had been hearing only bad news for the last couple of days mainly involving physical mishaps/ailments for members of his family...not the most ideal moment to say 'I quit'...but I went ahead and broke the news anyway. He was phlegmatic as always, and absorbed the news calmly, just asking the obligatory questions about whether he could do anything to change the decision. Things are rolling now and I expected to be relieved by around September 11.
About the new job...itz the post of Senior Business Analyst in Cognizant`s Healthcare division. It is in many ways my dream job:
1. From the beginning, I was very keen on being in the Healthcare
vertical - more specifically a thriving Healthcare practice which
focused mainly on the US Market ...a perfect fit there!
2. It involves frequent and short trips onsite(at least that`s what
the interviewer said)... that`s just the way i prefer it.
3. The posting is in good old Chennai ... I was in no frame of mind to
move out after spending a year at home.
This offer really is a big relief, since the quality of work was sinking to new depths here, and I was really feeling lost over the past couple of months.

Though I`ve had my fair share of noteworthy successes in quizzes ever since I started in 1990, I must confess that I`m not quite in the ‘big league’ - defined as that group of people who regularly make it past the written round of ‘Open Quizzes’. These open quizzes tend to have between 200 and 1000 teams participating, of whom 8 make it to the on-stage final. So for someone like me, it is a challenge each time to assemble the best team possible and give a shot at qualifying. Occasionally I`ve come very close – of course, that conclusion is based primarily on hearsay and logical deduction, since most organizers choose not to announce the cut-off score.
But this Sunday it was practically given to us in writing. Myself (IIM-K ‘05), Krishna Pillai (IIM-K ‘04) and Pavithra Poonacha (IIM-K ‘06) teamed up for the QFI Open quiz, and called ourselves the 'K Kwiz Klan'. We got 28 answers right out of 40, with 5 of them being tie-breaker answers. The cut-off turned out to be 28 with 6 tie-breakers. What made things worse, was the fact that for 3 of the questions, we had strongly considered the actual correct answers, before scratching them out at the last minute. Suraj, ggollerkeri - does that ring a bell from IIT-Delhi, March 2005?
They called us on stage for a special mention, and to give us a few Landmark gift vouchers. I must say it was the first time I felt so deflated while going onto a stage to receive a prize. |

There is a certain sleazy(and hence highly entertaining) newspaper called 'Deccan Chronicle' which circulates in Chennai among other places. Among their regular items are little pictures of celebrities along with quirky quotes made by them.
Today`s edition had a picture of Angelina Jolie with the quote "I know it sounds crazy, but I once hired someone to kill me". Since she`s still alive (and kicking!), I presume either she had a last minute change of mind, or some rookie hitman botched the job.
More significantly, this item brought back memories of a similar ‘attempt’ by me back in July 2001.

What a Sad end...
...to a superbly organized tournament that offered so
many great moments.
...to a match that was on its way to being the best WC
Final since 1986.
...to the glittering career of one of the true magicians of
the game - the best player I`ve seen since I started
watching Football in 1990.
Ever since their splendid victory against Spain in the second round, I`ve been dreaming of the sight of Zidane waving to the crowd for one last time and getting a standing ovation, after having lifted the World Cup. While that would have been the PERFECT ending, ANY ending would have been better than what transpired about 90 minutes ago. Nothing less than a barrage of insults to his family honour can adequately explain/justify that moment of indiscretion. It should be interesting to see if the world gets to know from the horse`s mouth, what actually happened. Now that he`s out of competetive football, there shouldn`t be any governing body with the power to shut him up.
It was really sad that he couldn`t even come up to collect the runners-up medal. There was a really nice fairy tale building up, with France being written off as a bunch of sluggish old men after a lacklustre start, and then proceeding to knock out heavyweights like Spain, Brazil and Portugal with some splendid football. Unfortunately there was no 'happily ever after' in this case. 'Italy- World Champions'- it just doesn`t feel right....
Anyway, life goes on. At the very least my sleep-cycle will get back on track. I envisioned my first serious blog entry to be more introductory in nature, talking about me, my blog, and what I expected to be its general flavour. As it turns out it`s a reaction to a bizarre set of events in the world of sports.
I`m sure ggollerkeri and ronaldphilip would write pieces of their own on the events at the Olympiastadion tonight.I look forward to reading them.
