My points for Ponting

       A column composer needs something to stimulate him to produce a piece. This something in metamorphic terms must be like a decaying wood for termite, expresses his views with much relish where he unbinds his skein creativity about an already known issue. One such issue which caught the eye’s of this column composer was “Ponting suggests having best-of-three finals for T20 tournaments” published at rediff.com. Result, following column!!!!



Wow, best of three finals for T20 means 3 more T20 matches, more cheerleaders, more advertisements, more theoretical commentaries and pompous post match analysis and still many more becomes more and more. In this list of more, we should also not forget to include mores of player injuries, loss of uncertainty of T20 which made it popular, loss of patience of ebullient cricketing mob, etc. We too like to write our final exams for three times and get our best score recorded in progress card out of three. But does it mean it is a final exam score? Anyhow evaluator of our answers will oppose such moves, since he would be driven to nuts to see unique mistake made each time by us for the same question. T20 is like competitive exam where knowledge alone doesn’t matter; time management and smart work make it more competitive and attractive. T20 too have its difference when compared to Test match. Test match is where you need to show your skill of cricket for cricket lovers, whereas T20, expose your smartness for cricket mobs. Every time aussies cannot be taming all others just like ‘scoring centum in all subject’ dream of a young Indian student. Well, I hope the aussie legend would have understood the nuance in these two formats of the game. When an ant slips, it doesn’t catch our attention, but when an elephant slips it never misses our attention. Even if our beloved education minister and some fanatics of our state propose radical ideas in lines with this format for writing 3 exams,
We are ready, is our examiner ready for it?
