CROWD AT KOCHI

Let me start with congragulating sourav and his boys for such a splendid win over our arch-rivals.First of all let me single out certain individual perfomances,1.SEHWAG-seems like he can do nothing wrong .2.RAHUL DRAVID-not the best one-day batsman to come out of indai but still ,one of the best .3.ZAHEER KHAN-many so -called guru's failed to take notice of this quickie's perfomance,but form my point of view it was his stunning return catch to see of youhana(often dangerous against india),that turned the match on its heels.4MOHAMMED HAFEEZ- a talent to watch out,looked technically correct till the moment he played that rash shot,a decent partime offie and a decent fielder to say the least.Now let me get to the point.With the sun shining right above their heads for major part of 10 hours without any roof,the cricket fans of kerala"god's own country got a treat indeed,And in return for the treat they got their conduct at the post match cermony was in all sense praise worthy.SCENE THIS,Sourav ganguly name being called out by ravi shastri(india's sensible cricketing voice),Sourav at the recieving end of booos and jeers form the bangalore crowd (who i cant understand why they do this ,coz these guys who come to watch cricket at chinnaswamy stadium such an unlucky lot ,that india has failed to win a test there since 1995,and yet are lucky enough to get test matches played tehre,and in the end boos the captain of one of the most succesful indain test captain,) get a big round of applause that the captain who was looking lost and worried about his form till dat moment appeared to be charged up and motivated,.And dont be surprised if sourav comes up with a couple of big ones in this series.AS the people at kochi showed "OH CAPTAIN ,MY CAPTAIN,WE ARE WITH YOU.
PROUD TO BE A KERALITE.
