For those of you, who saw the Twenty20 last nite which had the Audacious Aussies against the 'nothing to lose' Zimbabweans, it must have been a historical moment. A night to remember for all cricketing fans except the Aussies. The Minnows ruled and how. They contained a normally belligerent Aussie batting line-up to a minuscule 138 (well, Twenty20 is going to rewrite history in one day cricket for overall & individual scores) & went on to win the match with great skill & panache.
Unfortunately I retired to bed, rather mournfully, when Zimbabwe was 74/4 and rain had played a spoil sport. Duckworth-Lewis and rain, seemed to be in favor of Aussies at that moment. But the rain gods were with the Minnows yesterday and play resumed. And what happened thereafter is history.
I wish i can catch up on the last two overs (Brett Lee & Bracken) sometime. It would be a treat to watch two of the world's great bowlers epitomizing Speed & Perfection, having to fight a determined duo in Taylor & Chigumbara besides the Gods of course.
Waiting for tomorrow to see Dhoni's eleven against Malik's boys.
