Twenty-Twenty cricket has taken the cricketing fraternity by storm. The short form is not my favorite, but my special cricketing moment is from a twenty-twenty match. It was way back in 1989 and the little master announced his entry to international cricket in a memorable fashion. Though India lost that match it gave hope to so many cricket fanatics like me. During those days, one of the thoughts that came into my mind was that who will carry Indian cricket forward once Kapil and Srikanth retired. Kapil was my hero because of 83 and Srikanth because of the way he opens the innings. But that evening I had new hope and the master has lived upto my expectation and is still going strong.
Suresh Menon has written a nice article on this innings in cricinfo. Please catch that in http://content.cricinfo.com/magazine/content/current/story/399162.html
Another article which talks about this exemplary start is in http://content.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/145713.html
I tried to get a video of that special over but couldnt find till now. :(

For sometime sadmakan has been saying to add the "recent viewing" mail details in the blog. The mails get lost and we usually miss those recommendations. So finally I decided to dig my mail and post some recommendations.
Sreekanth's Recommendation
Europa Europa (German - 1990) - About a jewish boy acting as a Nazi to Live in Germany - Nice movie. real story
Ran ( Japanese - 1985 ) - Akira Kurasova's take on King Lear. Not so slow pakshe idakkide ashan thante thani niram kanikkum. - patience required, nothing great.
A Very Long Engagement ( French - 2006 )- Really good. Needs full concentration to understand the story though. a feel good film.
