As I wait for that next big inspiration to write something of matter on this blog (not to say anything so far has been material), I think for the time I am better off marveling at other's works.
I wish I could think and write like Gideon Haigh, one of my very favorite cricket writers....in Cricketing parlance, if I were to compile my all-time Cricket Writers XI, Gideon Haigh will probably open with Peter Roebuck :)
On the eve of the 1997th Test match (the first match of the West Indies v/s India series at Sabina Park - Kingston Jamaica), Gideon Haigh wrote: "Cricket owes the Test match everything. The one-day international was born into the global estate Test cricket created, like an heir with all the advantages; Twenty20 has come along in the last five years like the proverbial third-generation thick-head with a silver-spoon sense of entitlement, good for nothing but money". So true.
