Case File # 2
After the Mysterious case of missing life I have decided to write about an even stranger case which has just happened .
All of you who must have watched the 2nd ODI between India and Sri-lanka today (1-1-2009) must have been witnesses to a thrilling One Day International. India defending a meager total of 256 runs against Sri-lanka thanks to some excellent bowling by the Indian bowlers.
One screamer from Zaheer Khan hit the stumps and went for four and the Bails seem to just stick on top of the stumps as if some industrial strength adhesive was used to bind them. They usually do come off at the slightest gust of wind when the Indian batsmen come out with their wooden stick . We aren’t accustomed to see something like that.
On the other occasion it was the last over and Pravin Kumar was bowling his usual stuff and due to some misunderstanding between the Sri-lankan batsmen, Dhoni got his hands on the bowl and hit the stumps with the it from an arm’s length. And at this instance as previously the bails didnt flitch an inch !! They seemed to show quantum characteristics of strangeness as if all the gravity was concentrated on those two pieces of wood. Eventually Dhoni got frustrated and did some gig-a-little with the stumps – a comic moment and people get something to cheer about. It reminded me of Shane Warne getting his hair all messed up at the hands (gloves) of Adam Gilchrist on taking a wicket.
Now when I’ll be getting home and get my dirty hands on the BSNL broadband connection, I will get onto youtube and do some video analysis of the recordings of those strange events. Maybe I will need some close angle views and 3 Dimensional panning and rotation around those 3 logs of wood . Now off to some serious work !!
