Dravid - Man of the match??

With all due regards to Rahul Dravid, it clearly baffles me on what account did the commentators awarded him the "Man of the Match".

The return of Sachin Tendulkar couldn't have been better - a classy knock of 93, though I was a tad upset that he couldn't reach the ton.

During the post match interview, Rahul Dravid admitted that the "out of the box" thinking of sending Irfan Pathan as No. 3 was Sachin's idea and it worked out really well as Pathan amassed 83 runs.

According to Ravi Shastri, Dravid was awarded Man of the Match for a quick 83 off 63 balls and "inspirational captaincy".

If you look at the bowling department, clearly the spinners had an edge and if it was not for them (read Harbajhan and MuraliKarthick), Lankans wouldn't have scored so little.

Anway, as long as India wins like this, I don't have any complaints :-)

Also saw the two new rules in play yesterday, that of "powerplay" and "super sub"!

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!!
