Rest in peace Phil!

It was a shocker to hear about the sudden end to Hugsey's life. I was heartbroken when my manager told about it in middle of our critical meeting. Nothing else was going into my mind ever since I heard this! Damn! Why God? A 25 year old young kid has to exit from this world in such painful way?

My thoughts and prayers are with Phil's family and friends. David Warner and haddin were severely affected by his loss. Saw David spending the whole time since Hughes got hit in the ground till now with him. Stay strong warnie, this is what humankind is. Earning people shows the importance of one's loss.

Also, it wasn't your fault Sean Abott. It was merely an accident and you are not responsible for this. Stay strong man.

I'm not gonna watch cricket for somedays. 

We miss you Hugsey! May your soul rest in peace...

Steven Smith the future!

In recent times of Australian Cricket history, they couldn't find the proper replacement for Punter at one down position, as he was exceptionally driving that place with steady runs.

After Ponting's retirement, there were so-many options and initially it was working fine with Watto. But due to his injury concerns, he couldn't be the replacement for that spot for long time. In times it was occupied by Clarke, Mc Hussey, Hughes, Marsh, etc. But nothing clicked, yet so far.

But with the last 2 ODI performances (including today's) added to the Pakistan series in UAE, I tend to feel it will be SPD Smith!

Smithy has an Asian type of batting technique and Australian type of thinking power; which allows him to play according to the situation anywhere in the world, doesn't matter whether that's in Asia or Australia.

moreover, he applies the street cricket techniques when the opponent team tries with all the field setup against to him, so that they will be clueless where he's gonna hit the ball!

As world's best batsman currently, A B Devilliers stated, "Smithy will be a nightmare for the other team's captains", and said rightly so...

Australia finally found the best replacement to Punter, and probably for Clarke too, if he is not gonna make it for WC2015. 

Here's a soul from Srilanka wishing you good luck Smithy! Way to go!!!
