Knight & Day.. and other things..

Ah well, I saw Knight and Day, the Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz starrer sometime back, on one of the TV channels.. the movie is a breeze.. hilarious and you actually like cruise in it.. the last movie I liked Cruise in was Last Samurai, where he actually had a decent role to play.. In Knight & Day he is kinda spoofing his MI roles of a super spy.. the movie is quite whacky and quite entertaining, though I think critical reviews were that it wasnt the best of movies.. there was enough action, cameron diaz and well, more action and people getting blown up.. some random plot of a self sustaining eternal battery provided the wire frame for this..

In other things, the Indian cricket team spectacularly combusted in Australia, completing the second 0-4 whitewash of the last 12 months. And unlike in England, where there was atleast the Wall, here the Wall well had a hole the size which even the dike saving boy from Holland couldnt plug. 6 clean bowleds in 8 innings - the Wall is crumbling. the Sehwag was grumbling after getting out without even getting starts. His equivalent in Australia, David Warner, atleast fizzed in one innings and we didnt get any from Sehwag, other than a few loose mouthed statements about how we beat the Aussies 2-0 at home. SRT seems to be digging himself deeper in the search for a century of centuries and his closest competitor got a career revival with 2 double hundreds against us.. and the pup became a dog and f&*%ked the shit out of us with a triple.. Our only bright spot was the maturing of Virat Kohli, who looks set to take over the no. 5 spot from VVS, while Rohit Sharma's star rose because he didnt play, as did Cheteshwar Pujara's. The bright spot for us was the fact that England were being made to look like an amateur school side by pakistan, the fact that none of the English players seemed to know how to play spin, seemed quite funny indeed. Lets hope the Pakis do a clean sweep, atleast, it will keep those insufferable commentary from the Eng/Aus commentary about how sub continent sides cant win outside of home, it looks like neither can England :).

Rajasthan played like the Chanderpaul of Ranji Trophy to pile up 604 from 240 odd overs and bore the shit out of TN, who then lost the match on first innings lead. heheh!
