This one is on a totally unrelated subject vis-a-vis my blog title of 'Rusty Forks and Silver spoons' .
The latest addition to major gang, which has been on its all time high in the year 2005, is the chairman of selection committe of the Indian Cricket team, Mr. Kiran More. The gang, all though had few hiccups and turbulence in the form of Bachi's wedding, is still having a stiff tail.
Munaf Patel who had England bite their dust on the opening day of the 3 day match played between Board President's XI & England, swung and swept off 5 wickets (3 crucial ones) for 59 runs and brought a demoralising start to England's tour of India , was not selected for the first Test. With sheer pace, Munaf set the tone for the rest of the tour, putting England on the back foot , rocking the stumps 4 times in his 5 wicket haul.
But major gang, stayed undeterred with this fellow's performance and the new member Kiran More has gone ahead and selected VRV 'Singh', who went wicketless on the opening day. Not just that, he was thulped for 4 boundaries and a six in an over by Kevin peterson, who is likely to do the same in the first test match if he faces VRV again. His confidence must be high when he faces VRV, whereas Freddy Flintoff, Strauss, Jones etc must be still thinking how they lost thier stumps to Munaf.
'Poor guy' Munaf, as usual lost it to the Major gang.:-)
Please note:-
1. this blog needs to be read and taken lightly, keeping in mind the core subject of Cricket :-)
2. If you search for Major gang in Google, you are very likely to get results from this page, putting Major gang in the global map. So thats the positive to be taken from this bloglet.
3. No offences meant to anyone except Kiran More (probably others invovled in the selection).
4. Due respects to VRV and his potential and I wish him success in the upcoming series against England.
