After going up 2-1 in the one day cricket series against Australia, captain M.S. Dhoni hinted at a 5-2 trampling of the Aussies at the hands of the marauding Indians. I just hope the rain lets up in Navi Mumbai for us to have the final match and see the final scoreline at 5-2....5 Aussies- 2 India. I am as much a patriot as the next Indian but these Foot-In-the-mouth gaffes are too priceless! Wish we had a mud pie slinging competition with the entire Indian cricket team as the targets. Guess the only guy who'll come out as clean as he went in is the little master- Sachin R. Tendulkar. The rest of them deserve mud pies and perhaps a few cow dung pies too- right in the face! An old saying goes- He who laughs last, laughs loudest. Ricky Ponting, especially after the Guwahati one dayer must not have stopped laughing. To quote another saying, even at the peril of seeming cliched, "Cometh the moment, cometh the man". To lead a badly depleted, injury plagued team to a great triumph in the sub continent(against a *Supposedly* strong team) is the stuff that legends are made of.. Mahinder Singh Dhoni still has a lot of options open, he can start a hairstyling academy with himself as the model! or he can start a circus act with his BIG foot in the mouth routine...of course he and his boys are very welcome to offer their services as mud and cow dung pie targets to the cricket lovers of the nation.
