Politics has not blunted Navjot Singh Sidhu's edge. Rather, it seems to have set his brain on fire! The latest backlash by the Amritsar babu against Pakistan's Moin Khan proves it:
"Mad dogs keep barking at the elephant, but the king elephant does not bother about them at all."
The context was, obviously, one of several mind-games played by brainless former players who cannot let go of the limelight. Moin asserted in his recent Rediff column, that Tendulkar is fading into history. When the latter smashed a pretty quick century in the last one-day game against Pakistan, Sidhu's fire was stoked to the full.
Of course, we lost the match inspite of a 300+ total, thanks to some brainless middle- and lower-order batting that saw the loss of 5 wickets for next to nothing in return (the dreaded Duckworth-Lewis method intervened to thwart India this time). So let the Tendulkar-bashing begin. Wasn't this century again in a "losing cause"? Frankly, the media seems to be adept at creating the worst cliches. What exactly is a "losing cause"?! Does anyone work towards losing? Is it really a cause?
