of cats and dags

Never have I felt so good, after having gotten something so horribly wrong.

So I will attempt to take my chances once again:

• Ponting is due a big score. He will come good in Adelaide.
• Brad Hogg — who, in the light of Shaun Tait’s inept showing, seems like a much better bowler — will return and do a good job.
• Hayden’s return would ensure a hundred plus opening stand, denting India’s hopes for bowling Australia out cheaply.
• Australia, after having had a long hard look at themselves, will bounce back and thump India to win the series 3-1.
• Bonus Prediction: An irate fan would somehow enter the ESPN-Star studio in Adelaide and give a nice little whack on Gavaskar’s mouth. Seriously, I haven’t seen more shit flow so freely from the mouth of a legend than I have seen from the supposed little master, over the past few weeks. Someone, quick, bite his head off.

Mark my words.

That is all.
