Murali Kartik has a good day

India beat Australia in a dead match at the end of an overlong one-day series about as far away from a World Cup as it’s possible to be. Could we have some Test cricket now, please?

It's Murali Kartik - less hair than we rememberMurali Kartik took 6-27, which are pretty astonishing one-day figures. He then hit 21 not out after the run chase was left in his and Zaheer Khan’s hands, India’s top-order once again looking fragile.

One-day cricket can be good. It’s good when the result matters. It’s good in the knock-out stages of a World Cup and it’s good in a short series when you don’t need to win four matches to win overall. This was not good one-day cricket. This was clog.

That’s ‘clog’ derived from the verb ‘to clog’ not ‘clog’ the wooden shoe, you understand.

DON'T BE LIKE GATT!

Mike Gatting wasn't receiving the King Cricket email when he dropped that ludicrously easy chance against India in 1993.

Coincidence?

Why risk it when it's so easy to sign up?
