That thing called urgency (how to take two wickets)

Pop quiz: a South African cricket player’s house is on fire. What does he take?

a) wickets
b) his time
c) Why does he have a home? He should sleep under the bowling machine.

Not particularly funny, but you get the message.

We’re here again. South Africa on are on the brink of becoming the nearly men, again. After a solid start to the first Test match against India (thank you Highveld weather) and Jacques Kallis and Hashim Amla, and, and….

We’re here again. That so close but yet so far feeling is starting to rear its fat ugly head while making snarling noises.

The weatherman tells me that it might rain tomorrow afternoon again which means South Africa have got about one and a half sessions to bag two scalps. It should be easy, but cricket is never easy and behind every dark cloud there is a saved Test match.

I’ve gone over the scenario and I’ve come up with a sneaky plan.

1. Getting Sachin Tendulkar out will be the hardest part. They should rather not try get Sachin out because, not only is it a sin, it’s also pretty tricky.

Now all the South Africans need to do is tell Sreesanth abut the dance competition happening around the corner from Centurion. A dance competition AND a battle of the band competition. They organizers of the battle of the band are looking for a band that’s unique.

Simple. Sorted.

Next, Unadkat. Also very simple.

Tell him home phoned. Don’t understand?
