Pigeon Hole....


I was just sitting on the dinning table when this title struck me.I regret not to have posted this earlier but nevertheless I am here paying tributes to this legend .He was lethal cuz he was simple .Yes ,accuracy was the only weapon he had and he used it to the best .He could bowl at one spot throughout the day and still come out with the best economy rate at the end of the day .I remember during WC finals earlier this year when he was little wayward with his line and length Prateek Khurana commented that "Yaar ,lagta hai Pointing ne sikka(coin) guma diya " and not long after that we had Pointing jumping all around (Mc.Grath was back in rhythm).Not may sportsmen have fate to say final good-bye at the pinacle point of their career but he definitely was a exception .To leave international arena with bag full of wickets,having snatched Man of the Tournament award in your farewell tournament and too a WC and more importantly to be a part of team tagged as World Champions, well you can't ask for anymore .It will take great endeavour and patience for anyone to fill in his vacated place on international stage.
