 What's The Siraj Effect?

                The match against England was, it seems, a lopsided match. The main Indian batsmen just scooped up catches to go and relax in the pavilion while the Captain himself along with his bowlers, matched the English side. There was, it seems, a display of the bowling strength of the Indian team, after giving them a mild target to defend.

                        But then, there too, there was something different with the performance of Siraj and the Captain was clearly dissatisfied with it. It appeared the hero of the Asia Cup Finals was nowhere to be found. He bowled a lean, outside the off-stump, spell without any kind of success in it. Had he bowled a few deliveries onto the stumps then maybe he too could have got a wicket. But bowling was not all that he missed. He missed and messed up in the fielding too. Could it be he messed it up purposefully to signify that he was not required to perform. Or is it that some external effects are forcing him not to perform on the field?

                        From my own experiences in life, I have seen good people and good friends turn away only to find that 'sam, dam, dand, bhed, etc. were the cause of it. The team management should take note of all these effects and work out to remove the cause of it instead of directly taking a disciplinary action against the star players. Surely we would like the third pacer to be top performer too but resolving the issue is the need of the occurrence.

                        Hope the matters are resolved well in time because the team will have harder tasks to face in the coming up matches.   IPYadav
