It Stumps me that.....

How can someone be as badly named as Misbah. First a 'guy' can’t be a Miss and then, when he never misses a single thing except when makeshift bowlers are in view, it sounds so strange. May be the media can slightly change it after his laudable performance, and name him MrWah!

How can bad light deny India in a match where they could have easily declared at Lunch even if they had gone on at the rate of five per over and made around 340. They just needed 120 in 25 overs. And how could Pakistan have achieved 170 per session in the final two sessions on a pitch where cracks were connected by the soil!

How could Younis get dismissed when he DID NOT (RPT DID NOT!) not play a reverse sweep! Probably he would have survived had he tried reverse sweep on that Kumble’s ball. That fatal drive into the bowler's hand was a foolish shot!

A sense of history should have served us better. At Mumbai in 2004, somewhat similar pitch, left arm slow bowlers were very effective. Remember Michael Clarke taking six wickets and Murali Kartik following it up with three. Someone like Yuvraj, a leftarmer, was underutilised as bowler.
