Lankan-Indian poor Cricketism

An innocently looking Indian paid premier Manmohan Singh in enjoying the red carpet cushioning in Washington and money bags are being exchanged between hands in White House and on Washington streets as the Indian pre-paid lobbyists are also impressed by the latest twist in US policy. (It seems there was a shortage of red carpets in USA on account of Manmohan reception). While the enjoying life comforts in White House as a special guest, Indian premier accuser said Indians would not rest unless the Mumbai attackers are punished. Indian media outfits still spread false information about one  Kasab, presumably an Indo-US-Israeli agent,  coming from Pakistan via sea, by  pouring oil into the wide eyes of Indian navy remote systems, went right up to Kovalam tourist spot and then went to Mumbai to do the job there. Of course it is the usual strategy of US-Indo-Israeli tactic to terrorize commoners using the media. It is now becoming clear Mumbai, like the Parliament attack drama, was engineered by US-Indo-Israeli agne3ices to terrorize and torture Muslims. Over 50 Muslims were killed in the state terrorist attacks. Whether Pakistan is also incorporated into Indo-US-Israeli terror scheme in both India and Pakistan by the USA is a moot question. The Lahore attack on Lankan cricketers, as all of us know, was an Indian attack to punish the Lankan players for ignoring the dictates of the regional bully terror power India. But truth is what the state agencies tell through their media outfits owned by capitalist lords.

However, the poor Indians indoors are happy for another reason: their batsmen were offered 100 plus each by the visiting Lankan cricketers even in Test-2 as a gift from a weak neighbor, until the most pampered Sachin was kicked out of the crease with just 40 runs.  On the whole, India, which believes in supplying to teams playing with India a “package course” of specific runs to select batsmen,  is proud of its prowess making the “unruly” Lankans come to senses and restrain their bowlers and fielders to play some positive, pro-India game in offering good runs to Indian batsmen who were rattled badly by the guests from Colombo, considering the view the unilateral Indian greatness in South Asia that has forced nuclearism deal with all powerful unilateral power USA.

With Jayawedenes at the crease in the first test in Gujarat, the base of Hindutva  state terrorism in Western India,  the Indian patience to maximum possible extent, rather beyond that, a much troubled India perhaps was making strenuous efforts to do the patch work and all out to contact all global cricket mafias, mediators and even Lankan regime to contain the ongoing Lankan onslaught on Indian soil - crushing the major Indian souls instantly-  where poor Indian batsmen, some of them were honoured by Indian regimes with national awards and cash prizes,  for “absolute mastery” in cricketism, as if the huge sums they make in cricket is not sufficient and the extras that come automatically fall into their deep pockets for playing according the mafia-cum-sponsors’ whims.

In the second Test in Kanpur, Indians as usual managed the toss, as usual, and batted first. In anticipation of return gestures from Indians, Sri Lankans were generous to offer them 600 plus, which according to Indian opinion short of 100 plus runs. But Lankans were perhaps expected 600 plus or more form Indians  as a return gestures., but Indians threw them all out for paltry 300 plus and pushed them for follow-on only lose quick wickets. Jayewardene and Sankakara threw away their bates twice on 25 Nov in two innings and, it looks, they would have repeated the show if there were another innings.

One does not know what exactly has been happening in the hotels where they stay between them and why the Sri Lankans behave like this. One does not know if there is real pressure from Indo-Lankan authorities or cricket mafia is directing the show as usual. It looks, the Lankan president Rajapaksha, who thinks he could be shielded only by Indian terror military against his own military outfits conspiring to oust him from power, has also joined the Indian paksha (side) and pro-Indian in asking the Singhalese bowlers to be nice to hosts by appeasing them in ways that are pleasant to New Delhi fanatics, and let them also break some records, if not their legs. In the first test Indian almost lost the match, but for rescue operations undertaken by Lankan cricketers in the second innings by refusing to win the match and allowing the only other option of draw, Indian fanatic outfits could not have at last said Sachin saved India when the terror military failed.

Indians are also unhappy with Lankans for not letting Sachin make some hundreds. For India, the Sri Lankan team has, like the Australians did before them, have committed unpardonable crime of removing sachin unceremoniously on 24 Nov in the Test-2, without giving him his share of 100 plus when Shewag, Dravid, Gambhir have been given special attention in run feeding. In the second Test Indians indeed deceived the hosts by securing 600 plus runs and kicking them when they came to the crease. Or, is it Lankan plan to throw away the bats in an extra hurry in both innings. This gives the impression that Sri Lanka is one of the weakest teams around. Or they paper tigers?

In future packages, perhaps India should insist other countries on making sachin a mandatory 100 plus hero each time he plays - and if not him a person India suggests should be rewarded magnificently. Indian batsmen should have the privilege of expansive shots and exclusive luxury of “fabulous shots”. After all India is great, you know! Don’t tell me Indian media fanaticism is worse than state terrorism. Obviously, the discussions of the Lankan players are being monitored by Indian intelligence and other outfits to control the matches in favor of India. While wishing the Lankan team well, it should be cautioned if they kill cricket themselves by unnecessary interceptions – for money or anything else- none can save the Lankan team. The Test-3  should show the intent of Lankans.
