With Dhoni suspended for two games due to slow over-rate, here's a funny take on what you could see in the next India-Sri Lanka ODI
>>Stand-in captain Virender Sehwag will not spend time advising/encouraging/cajoling his bowlers. Probably, that's a good thing. You don't need much gyaan from your captain anyway.
>>Tendulkar is not known to stay away from providing inputs to the bowlers. Fear of suspension for Sehwag will keep Tendulkar away from the action. He doesn't want to miss batting with Viru.
>>The bowlers may get so panicky about the over-rate that they won't even bother tightening their boot laces. At times, bowlers will continue bowling with their bootlaces untied. The flying laces could distract the batsman and result in a wicket. After all, everything has a positive side.
>>Nehra and Zaheer will bowl off a shorter run
>>The ban on Dhoni will help the Indian team in their fielding woes. They will run faster to keep the over-rate in good shape.
>>No refreshments for fielders and bowlers, the captain will declare before play.
>>And what happens if a fielder has to return to the dressing room for a pee? Hold it, the skip will yell.
