6 things that we could expect from the All-Star game at Houston
The Cricket All-Stars action moves to Houston as the second match gets underway later tonight We haven’t yet moved on from the nostalgia provided by the first game and the second match is already knocking the door as the All-Stars take the field later tonight. Another scintillating encounter is on the cards as the players from the golden era attempt to roll back the years.And just like the first game, another insane turnout is expected at Houston, the venue for the second match as the United States of America is set to prove once again that cricket indeed has a presence in the country. It isn’t every day that the legends of the game will go against each other. In fact, perhaps, this might be the very last time we see some of them play.So, as we approach the game, here is a rundown of the 6 things we could expect from the 2nd match.
#1 Virender Sehwag fury....yet again
My mother always tells me one thing when she enters my room and sees the mess around: “No matter how many years a dog keeps his tail under pressure, it will still be curved once it is out of it.”
While the analogy might sound insulting, I am clearly not being impertinent to Virender Sehwag. The man knows only one way to play; that is to attack and attack. In the last game, he showed us that he is never going to change as he rocketed his way to 55 in just 22 balls.
Tonight, it won’t be any different as he will once again come, see and smack his way to whatever runs he ends up scoring. One can only hope that he lasts long enough to entertain the crowd as much as they hope for.
