Sights and sounds WC 2007

My dream list

  • Sachin going on the back foot to punch a perfectly pitched ball outside the off stump ball through covers with minimal effort followed by an exaggerated holding of his follow through
  • Shane Bond bowling Ponting through with a yorker as he shapes to flick a ball past mid wicket
  • Saurav coming down the track to launch Murali over long off for an effortless six
  • Lara pulling cutting and driving fast bowlers all around the park in way only he can
  • Dhoni whacking Afridi for one of his trademark helicopter swivel sixes over long on
  • Jayasuriya square cutting Ntini over the boundary ropes with a minimal backlift effortlessly
  • Sehwag uppercutting Malinga over third man for a huge six
  • Flintoff getting Gilchrist caught behind from around the wicket with some nifty away swing
  • Kumble knocking back Afridi's middle stump with his faster ball pushed through past another wild swing
  • Ponting hooking XYZ (read wannabe Pakistani fast bowler/ drug peddler) for a sweet six off the front foot
  • Srresanth pingin Nel smack on his helmet with a jaffa and then following it up with a lil jig

And of course last but not the least a champagne soaked Dravid holding aloft the trophy flanked by God and the God of off side. Cmon guys this is our time, lets get out there and make the dreams of millions fellow Indians come true

Ditto batman. Although, that back foot cover drive is something to die for!

Rohan Kumar said...

@ad Fingers crossed on the former and we sure will on the latter :)

@wagla Amen to that thought :)

@subhash Yes it sure is for the lucky few privelaged enuff to have seen it and for the uninitiated all I can see is 'You have no friggin idea coz you havent seen nothin yet' ;)

totti said...

@subash - you mean you wouldn't be able to do it even without a ball to drive at.

Dude...i think you should have a collage of images smacked down to go with this post. That will be like totally awesome. Anyway, what is the expansion for LMTWGR?

Subash said...

@totti - please refrain from making any cricket-related comments. please.

Rohan Kumar said...

@totti Neat idea but too much effort man (read give up) :)
LMTWGR Oh someone woke up to a month old post, well explanation can be found on Aditi's comment on the comment section of the same post

@Subash Well thats the least he can do :)
