From Kejriwal to Aussie Smith, March 2018 is a Month of Surprising Apologies, Some Look Genuine, Others Outright Conceited!!

Inhaler Hero. Muffler Man. Weirdly Common. Confused

When March 2018 started rolling, we had Arvind Kejriwal apologizing to a handful of politicians whom he had intentionally and very loudly defamed as a part of his imaging exercise. To say that the guy didn’t mean to offend so many people is an absolutely ridiculous explanation. Similarly, Kejriwal’s office saying that the seemingly honest guy had to tender the apology as he did not have sufficient time to attend the court summons, is just trash. This guy used individualized vendetta, profile targeting and party-bashing as an inherent part to build-up his clout. His followers were genuinely attracted by the upfront and deliberately rude persona that Kejriwal acquired. When the Muffler Man has sufficient time to spend days in a health or wellness center, it becomes very hard to accept that he cannot find the time or hire a small team of lawyers to take care of this legal muggers.

Great to have a combo of Mitchell, Bollinger and Bracken

Ricky Ponting might not make it very obvious in his post-match speeches but it is no secret that the Aussie bowling resources are reaching a remarkable level. I am particularly impressed by their left-arm riches. Just consider the fact that they have three different bowlers of this bowling style and each one bowls very differently and in fact, all of them can play together in a match though the probability of something like that happening in the near future is minimal. Bollinger comes across as a hit-the-deck sort of left-armer who seems to enjoy a bit of zest in the pitch. Bracken on the other hand is more suited to the dry surfaces since he bowls so many of those off-cutters. Now look at Mitchell Johnson, he is somewhat of a combo of these two bowlers and probably the fastest of the lot and can bat pretty well too. What is even more remarkable is the fact that just about 10 months back, the Australian bowling cupboard looked bare or that is what everyone thought and now the newest of additions like Siddle, McKay and Harris are taking wickets by the heap and Ponting must be perplexed who to leave out in a match.
