I am a big fan of Tamil Superstar Rajni. (The credits to his films start - literally - with these words "S U P E R S T A R followed R A J N I in the biggest font size possible").
The ludicrous audacity with which Rajnikanth pulls off one ridiculous stunt after the other in his movies is something only he can do. Not many can cut a bullet in two in midair, or create a tornado with bare feet on the screen quite like Rajni does.
Yesterday I saw cricket's version of Rajnikanth.
Brendon McCullum did on the cricket field the exact equivalent of what a wild director of an insane Tamil movie would make the incorrigible Rajnikanth do in a cricketer's role.... Hit cricket shots that have never been performed, nay, seen, nay, even imagined before.
RIDICULOUS is the only way to describe how McCullum handled the fastest bowler on earth, to send him repeatedly into orbit. Point in case, look at McCullum's sixers #7 and #8 to Shaun Tait at a full 155 kmph! It was heady stuff. Unbelievable bat speed. Deviously innovative handling of some of the the fastest bowlers around - Tait, Nannes.
It succeeded and it rocked. On another day it would have been the stupidest move of all, but it worked. Thats what the tamaam Rajnikanths and the Quick Gun Murugans of the world do ....they don't hesitate once they decide, no matter how insane their idea may be. (You blinkkk before I shoootttt, I say...) :)
