Two pack

While waiting for the third Test match to start, I found two contrasting articles by good cricket writers.

Peter Roebuck profiles Harbhajan Singh. This is vintage Roebuck, writing in a style all his own and engaging from first word to last.

Mukul Kesavan writes about MS Dhoni, focusing on his demeanor and contemplates what makes MS such a good fit for captaincy. However, this is not one of Kesavan's better efforts. He meanders around and ends on a note that rings a little too hyperbolic for my liking.
