The World XI.. Really?

Huhh....The world xi.. a team made up of the 'best' players in the world.. lost, no were humiliated by the australians.. understood that aussies are the best team in the world.. but this 'world xi' didnt even put up a fight!! it was embarrasing to watch... which brings me to another thing... thank you ten sports for not giving me the pleasure of watching this humiliation live.. but 2 days after the matches took place... the anticipation of waiting and knowing exactly wat happens made the cricket all the more exciting..

Not being partial or anything... but a world xi without jayasuriya? come on guys! the only batsman that performed decently through the odi matches was sangakarra (for those who dnt know, he is sri lankan) and what was up with him being replaced by... of all people boucher, for the test?? :S well judging by the number of catches dropped and runs scored by boutcher, i think they made a great choice! this whole tournament was a joke.. and a stupid one at that...next time they think of having something like this.. either choose a world xi that includes the 'world xi' or set the same team against someone they have a chance of beating.. like bangladesh! lol

While were still hovering on the topic of cricket.. i would like to note that the indian captaincy has been handed over to the uber boring.. rahul dravid.. true he is a better choice than ganguly, but in all honestly so is a chicken.. the indian team just doesnt have anyone who can really bite the bullet and take over the captaincy.. they havent had one since azharuddin.. ganguly did a good job at first.. but i think duckin outta the way of shoaib akthars bouncers like a little girl took its toll on his respectability.. :P well sachin would have been an interesting option.. but he messed up the last two times.. and hes got that tennis elbow.. which ganguly strangely seems to have caught.. interesting..

Anyways my disciples... i must be off... until next time.. may the force be with you...
