Gambhir caught Shah bowled Patel.

Hang on… it’s not a Ranji score card nor is it a Delhi Vs Gujarat match.
It was India Vs England. An English team that had 3 PIO’s (People of Indian Origin) Owais Shah, Samit Patel & Ravi Bopara playing for them at Rajkot, was akin to the English team of yesteryears during the pre independence times, when names like Ranjitsinghji, Duleepsinghji, Ifthikar Ali Khan Pataudi figured in the English playing eleven.
India might today be the financial power house of cricket but a scorecard in an India / England match that reads Gambhir caught Shah bowled Patel is definitely a testimony to the Indian contribution to this great game of the colonial era. By annihilating England, India has sent a message that the cricketing world is currently witnessing a power shift not only in the financial prowess but also in talent.
Finally I see no harm in India playing bully these days when I see the likes of Mathew Hayden once back home in Australia call India a third world country. It is to this same third world country to which he will head again in a couple of months to receive an oversized wallet from Chennai Super Kings. If Hayden wants to remind us of our third world status I guess we ought to remind him of Australia’s 18th and 19th century penal colony past too.
