Refreshing is the word...

In these days of "protocol" defence, Cheeka offers a refreshing change. When asked about not picking enough reserve batsmen, he admitted that it was a mistake and added like only he can - "Generally we have an opener, a middle order batsman, a spinner and a seamer in the reserves. But in this Test match alone we thought we would encourage two more fast bowlers. But to our bad luck, you had one batsman walking out." No stupid justification of settled batting line up, conviction on the selected replacements' ability, providing greater flexibility in choosing the bowling line up to the captain - none of that non-sense, just a casual bad luck. Man, he simply speaks like he bats...Come to think of it, that's all that it was - bad luck.

Sehwag seems to be just a far superior version of Cheeka both on and off the field!
