To perceive the standard as nothing but an accretion of lopsided advantages, crystallized from the power-equations of an earlier era, and the reprimanding of aberrations as something motivated by vested interests to suppress, oppress and depress.... indha fattern romba familiarA irukkE :-|
Yeah, adhuvum oru thiRamai dhaan as Lax/Sach showed in 2004/Mumbai. As a student who only topped the class(with marks like 9/25 being the topper) when the prof laid difficult pitches (I.e) out of syllabus questions, I have a strong affinity to such performances. nAngallAm epdi enga theRamaiya kAttradhu - standardAvE maindain paNNingannA genius-ai epdi appreciate paNNuvInga?
Familiarity doesn't mean it is not true no? Perhaps familiarity is indicative of the commonplaceness of such vested interests

I meant changes to the game.

indha 400+ scores, two new balls. Practically 25 overs of swing-happy ODIs. manasu valikkudhu.

Oh I don't watch ODIs anymore(Sehwag or not)** it has changed way beyond my appreciation range(hence my calls for killing the format). ** - except when SRT is playing, whence. I am in a dilemma between watching it vs jinxing the man :(
Saw the Aus wickets this morning H/L. It wasn't wild swing or anything. It was like, they weren't even trying to concentrate.

The one that got Clarke was good, the rest were pretty regular. People looked impatient.

Then they showed the NZ wickets - mark my words - Siddle will be a handful in our series.

One hope is Aus dropping Siddle for Johnson when picking the XI :lol2:
^ with our predominant right handed toporder and their shortcomings against left armers wouldn't be suprised if Bollinger gets to play the boxing day test.
So if they weren't trying to concentrate - a basic requirement of a test batsman - how is this a better test match? Even on flat pitches, a proper test batsman with concentration is needed to score big. It is just your prejudice that places ordinary matches on green wickets blanketly above #all# matches on flat wickets. I have no such pre-judice.
