A Tale of Two Hearts: Keep at it, Colly...

'He is also a cricketer from the top of his helmet to the studs in his boots. When we met, I mentioned I once lived not far from his home. "I know that place," he said, "lovely pitch." Nothing about the port, parks or the statue of Queen Victoria; everything about the cricket ground. I like that in a man.'

This Stout Heart was battling away for some pride against the Aussies while Sachin was walking the streets. He had made 206 in the first innings at Adelaide and was last man standing on 20* when the Poms did a Team India-esque collapsing act in the second innings. Well, we Indians can totally empathise with the Englishmen in this regard. But look at the silver lining fellas... we at least have some lion-hearts to cheer about :)

PS: I am not forgetting Kumble or Flintoff or Dravid. It's just that I'm very, very depressed ..sigh..
