Dravid Vs Mendis

"Indians are very good at playing spinners..." - It is a comment passed by one of the commentator during the Asia Cup 2008 final between India and Srilanka. I was laughing because he was referring to the current Indian ODI team. I don't think any of the players, including Yuvaraj, is capable of handling good spin bowling.

I am so curious to see how our OLD people are going to play the Srilankan spinners, especially the new magic Mendis. It could be a wonderful fight as we are meeting the lions in their homeland.

Dhoni has taken rest (Of course, it has nothing to do with the fact that he couldn't read Mendis bowling). Can Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman and Sachin, Shewag - on his day, do it for India? Or Will Murali and Mendis prove that they are the best spin combination?

Though I love to see Sangakkara scoring few centuries (if not double) I should admit that the Indian bowling attack is also not bad. This should be a good series to watch.

P.S.:
Sachin's quote:
I don't believe in making right decisions, I take decisions and make right.

Stop & Listen

Source: Email forward A man sat at a metro station in Washington DC and started to play the violin; it was a cold January morning. He played six Bach pieces for about 45 minutes. During that time, since it was rush hour, it was calculated that thousand of people went through the station, most of them on their way to work. Three minutes went by and a middle aged man noticed there was musician playing. He slowed his pace and stopped for a few seconds and then hurried up to meet his schedule. A minute later, the violinist received his first dollar tip: a woman threw the money in the till and without stopping continued to walk. A few minutes later, someone leaned against the wall to listen to him, but the man looked at his watch and started to walk again. Clearly he was late for work. The one who paid the most attention was a 3 year old boy. His mother tagged him along, hurried but the kid stopped to look at the violinist. Finally the mother pushed hard and the child continued to walk tur...
