Ishant's comeback!
July 21st 2011 04:54
Yours truly is pleased by no small margin at seeing Ishant come back with venom, pace and purpose. The signs were there in the IPL but they loomed large in the series against the West Indies. Granted that there were not enough quality batsmen and Ishant seemed to run out of steam in the last Test, his comeback was still very exciting. More so because he was not trying to bowl too many variations. The potent in-dipper was back and it was backed up by pace and awkward bounce.
But the icing on the cake was Ishant's own interview:
Really Long Link
Just going down memory lane, here is a post I made last year:
Really Long Link
No, no, it is not what you are thinking
. More than feeling smug, I am happy that this youngster has, apparently of his own accord, realized and corrected his error. And it is not an easy thing to do when you are so close to the game and playing it day in and day out. After all distance promotes perspective. It is sometimes the one thing that even provides perspective!
