Once upon a time there was a strong kingdom which had a powerful King, warrior soldiers, intellectual well wishers who were ably guided and protected by wise men.
With no onslaught expected the king was advised to get rid of unutilised species whoever they were from the kingdom and ultimately it zeroed down to spiders who were identified as having a least worth.
Out of nowhere, a war erupted and the king
had to flee, only to find shelter in an unprotected cave in faraway mountains. As the night progressed, king heard whispers from the enemy soldiers near the cave but surprisingly, they walked away. As the sun rose, king came out of the cave to find out that the spiders had built a web in the night outside the cave and the opponents just walked away assuming no one could reside there.
The king realised his mistake, dropped his plan to get rid of spiders and went on to defeat the enemy at next opportunity.
That’s what exactly happened in India Australia Test match at Sydney yesterday. The guns were blazing everywhere to get rid of Pujaras, Viharis and Pants from the team. Fortunately we had a wise king in Rahane who stood by his spiders and the web they built (supported by ‘Always under the lens’ Ashwin) not only saved the kingdom from ignominy of defeat but(also) the platoon is now ready for the final battle at Brisbane.
Amazing turnaround by the Indian Cricket Team at Sydney and though a lot of homework is needed for Gabba, interesting times lie ahead.
Mentally strong team will take the series and accolades. May the game of cricket win rather than off the ground nuisance.
