The Mumbai Saint
Sometime back I had mentioned that Dixie and I watched a movie called "Boondock Saints". The movie goes moves around a bit before settling in a pattern: The Two brothers, main guys, nicknamed Boondock Saints by the media, take a job to kill a bunch of bad guys. They arrive fully armed to do their job, we don't see them do anything, next thing we see is a crime scene full of dead bodies and this detective, played by William Dafoe, finds clues and recreates the crime. Lather, rinse, repeat.
The last time that he recreates the scene, he sings. By that time he is convinced that these guys are doing some good work and it is a nicely choreographed sequences where he sings and dances, almost praising them, and the Boondock Saints annihilate their enemies in the background as he narrates.
If you haven't seen Sachin bat in the last two ODIs against SL, you would not know why I remembered this. After watching his innings, it was difficult to put that experience in words. But then there is always Harsha and his art of writing.
I could not have put it better than this. Enjoy the Article! For added effect, imagine that straight defensive push racing to the boundary or that paddle shot off Vaas or the way he greeted Murali today with two consecutive boundaries, stepping out and hitting the first one over the bowler's head.
Hey I got some pictures:
The Sweet Sweep (notice, no Wk ..this was to Vaas)
Hello Mr. Muralitharan, remember me?
Dravid as a captain is just what the doctor ordered and he and the rest of the team are going to rock. I watched live cricket after a long time and I kid you not, it was better than winning a 50-49 Team Slayer Halo game.
