Destroy ,aesthetically

Scene : Marcel flicks a lit cigarette towards the pile of nitrate reel and the cigarette swirls achingly and lights up the pile.The screen bursts into flames and pandemonium ensues .Donny and Ulmer, dressed as slick Italians , let loose a string of bullets on the Nazi top brass.With Donny's eyes lit up there is absolute carnage.Shosanna , lady in red , metaphorically and literally dressed to kil,l completes her retribution .Amidst all this , smoke is billowing and Shosanna , laughs hysterically in the smoke.No one can create a scene of violence so poetic and stylish other than Tarantino.
Scene cut to, humid and hot cauldron ,people are pouring into watch the divine.But one man has other ideas.There is anticipation in the air , silence is built up , the spectators are composed and Then there is a WHIPLASH!A tracer bullet smacks the hoarding.The crowd erupts and appreciates the delightful boundary.And from then on there was no looking back, barrage of cuts , drives, pulls punishing the bowlers.Sehwag plays them all, with disdain.His shots reek of audacity , decimating any semblance of pride in the bowler.He sees a ball , he hits the ball.Simple yet effective.Yet his domination of bowlers doesnt seem brutal , his shots are laced with elegance and served with panache.I can picture Sehwag playing to the tunes of Ennio Marricone or the eye of the tiger.Class.
He pounds a bowler into total submission and despair.There is a deluge of runs.Even Muralitharan , the magician tweaker , had no answers .He bowls short , he is cut to the boundary.If he provides some flight , a step or two down the track and the cherry is sent soaring over the ropes.You bowl into him , he drives nonchalantly through the covers.The timing and power of his cover drives are so balanced , he hits sixes off inside out drives!Simply exhilarating and exquisite.Murali was literally left , finger licking good.
Sometimes i wonder ,am i watching street cricket?He is so fearless in his execution that he seems to be hitting a tennis ball.It might look like im extolling his virtues endlessly but such is the reputation and sheer talent of the man.He hits boundaries at will , i thought that happens only in EA Cricket.I am left gasping as i follow his breaking of records .But yes , he still has to cover some distance to reach the divinity of his teammate.
Its not like he is the perfect batsman.There was a period of self doubt and he was shunned by the national team.But he came back a better and mature person , cutting out some wild streaks.His 293 is forever etched in my mind .During the innings , at the end of day 2 , he look tired.Dravid on the other end advises him to defend and save it for tomorrow, the next ball there is a half hearted defense ,He looks up sheepishly and grins at Dravid.There was something serene about him.These are ominous signs.I hope he keeps riding this surf.
Tarantino signs off through Aldo raine making his "masterpiece" on Col.Landa,Sehwag , with his usual candour, says "I just hit the bad balls".
