I once asked how India will ruin Ishant Sharma.
He may not be ruined yet, but he has been slowed down by bling.
Sharma, and his adam’s apple, were obviously allergic to attention, gold, cocaine or Ganguly’s captaincy.
In 13 games he managed 7 wickets, and never once took more than one.
For those who believe wickets mean nothing and economy rate is king in t20, he couldn’t slip himself into the top 30 list for that.
This was the same man who bowled in Australia like he was some unco Indian zombie version of demon fred spofforth.
But in the IPL, while he bowled some good spells, he was mostly just another bowler.
A guy like Gony, who was until recent time a nobody, is now a somebody, because as Flemmo puts it, he bowls a heavy ball.
He may not jumped ahead of Sharma, but he has certainly put his name on someones clip board.
Sharma is not done with yet.
He has just been initiated in the world of sports, ie: cocaine.
With Ahktar and Bollywood all over him I’m sure he was exposed to things he had only heard friends talk about before.
Like orgies and other fun stuff.
White powder never slowed down the great Pakistani quicks.
Well since it was coke, it probably didn’t hurt with their confidence
So in conclusion, Sharma needs less golden helmets, and more or less coke.
the boy has been having it large! I imagine he’s been sticking his adams apple all over the place, the deviant!
Maybe T20 is not his playing field.
I think I’m missing gossip here. Last time I saw Ishant was at the MCG at the time (Feb) when he was being called Instant Karma.On a hot day at the G, he was divine. A bowling miracle and we loved him.And he was truly cool with the fans.
India seem to ruin a lot of fast bowlers. Thery have a canny knack.Pathan when he first came in they partly ruined him since but then he is only 22 and has already reached 100 Test wickets.RP Singh has got worse in recent times, Sreesanth more mediocre than previously.Zaheer Khan injured ever since MCG Test despite being in a fine run of form for a year.And now Sharma looks average apaprently in the IPL.
