Dravid's mother's painting exhibit
Vinay
week had an exhibit of her paintings in Kerala (in Cochin I think, not
sure). A Zee TV news clip. It was innaugurated by the governor of Kerala.

One question, Vinay.
Are you aspiring to be, what may be called in somewhat charitable terms, a
cricket paparazzi ?
One might have overlooked your questions on the India Pakistan as being OT
but still being of some intrinsic value. What does this (and your myriad
other limo chaser style posts in recent days) have to do with cricket or
even anything that matters ?

Basically, you want to know why he is posting OT stuff on topics
you don't enjoy.

That's all very nice, but she won't truly make the grade until and unless
Channel 9 commission her to produce a limited edition canvas of Shane Warne
picking his nose.

That reminds me: you haven't explained what is now on offer as naff
memorabilia in your neck of the woods. I'm thinking perhaps a series
of statuettes of New Zealand cricketers in characteristic poses which
you can place in the special display case - a model of a hospital
casualty department.
Cheers,
Mike

A good idea, especially given the proximity of Wellington's main hospital to
the Basin Reserve.
The current offering is an oil painting of Messrs Fleming and Crowe (MD),
apparently grouped together because they are NZ's two highest Test run
scorers. Despite Mark Richardson on telly urging us to get in quick because
supposedly the summer is nearly over, I think a reasonable gauge of the
popularity of such items is that the same company's limited edition print
(only 222 copies) commemorating Nathan Astle's innings against England at
Christchurch is still available for sale on their web site more than three
years after the event.
My preference would be to take the Wagon Wheel concept - long-established
as a pictorial representation of a batsman's innings - a stage further in
producing a chart of Chris Martin's career runs. This would be cheap to
produce and leave plenty of space available for all living NZ Test
cricketers past and present to add their autograph in the area in front of
the wicket.
Speaking of which, the stage is all set and thus I hereby predict that
Martin will score at least ten runs today.

And as usual, he was left high and dry by a partner playing an irresponsible
shot.
Mind you, Martin should have been run out off the final ball of the previous
over, when he and Franklin indulged in one of those kamikaze quick singles
which only seem to happen when Martin is at the crease (think Headingley
2004). On this occasion Franklin played the final ball of the over at his
feet and called Martin through. Bowler and non-striking batsman charged
down the pitch, bowler winning the race comfortably. Picking up the ball
cleanly, all he had to do was carry it to the stumps to effect a simple run
out, but instead he opted to throw from two yards and missed the target.
