Well, I'm back after quite a long break, considering the rush of articles at the beginning of my blog!! For those who didnt read Part One of Cricket's Most Consistent Impact, I think better stop right here, go back and read that and come back. For it wont make sense to read this without the previous one.
As I said, Change has been cricket's most consistent impact. I did receive a few negative comments about the first part being tediously philosophical. So Let me take this one in a bit different track. The original and the sequel are a part of a series which you might be able to guess what it is all about. If you haven't guessed yet, Try.
Yet again, Change thrust itself upon the game. Creates more impact when it is so visible in a series of a very big legacy as the Ashes. When New England won at Cardiff, Nobody expected Old England to turn up at Lord's. Old England didnt turn up, but New England made Old Mistakes. Australia played the perfect match, and England also played the perfect match. Visitors played in perfectly well, Hosts demonstrated perfectly how not to play a test. A 405 run drubbing "Changed" the series scoreline to 1-1. Change again.
Bangladesh were a minnow who could cause upsets. Not regular ones though. But their fortunes "Changed" drastically once Mortaza took over. Then they knocked out England from the WC. A failure which "Changed" England into New England. They swept Zimbabwe at home. Well that was expected.
Then They swept Pakistan. Rather Banglawashed them. For a "Change", India sent a full strength side to face them. And for a "Change", the hosts went 2-0 up before losing the last one. Steyn didnt want to waste few of his last deliveries in International Cricket in a bilateral at Dhaka or Chittagong. But this time, for a "Change", Mustafizur and company showed he could have wasted a lot of the last.
So many things happen in cricket for a "Change". Even in Life. Even in this blog. For a "Change", I will keep this article short. And For a "Change", I will dwell into more intriguing topics in upcoming articles. Hope you didn't feel bored. Bye!!
