This is what Sachin Tendulkar asked Dinesh Karthik with less than 15 runs required to win and SRT in his nineties.

Now Dinesh Karthik (DK) on the field reminds one of a cat on a hot tin roof. Not like a cat which has 8 lives safely stacked away in the kitty and can still dance on the roof with a feline grace, caring two hoots about the impending disaster. Nor like Stuart Broad's cat which doesn't need any extra lives.

DK resembles more like a normal cat on a mildly hot tin roof with 3 lives under his belt. But at Cuttack he looked more like a cat with a nervous twitching disorder and only one life left to play on a sizzling tin roof. A cat which suddenly realised that on one side of the hot tin roof was a boiling water filled bath tub and on the other was the top chef of a Guangdong restaurant. This scenario is supposed to be the most horrible in cat nightmares and fate seemed to have added Chris Broad somehow to it for DK.

An exhibition of breathtaking passage of cricket by DK throughout the Lankan innings was surpassed only by his extremely brainy little batting display near the closing phase of the Indian chase. The Cuttack ODI rightfully belonged to DK but the short sighted adjudicators upheld Jadeja's claims to that title. The extremely hilarious moments provided by DK were too many to be counted and too blatant to be forgotten in one's life time.

He started with his piece de resistance - the Dilshan run out that was never to be. With his back facing the stumps and the ball in his hands DK was looking at Dillu some distance in front of him. Dilshan's super handsome face was a mesmerising sight and he couldn't take his eyes away. All those lovely matey moments spent with his DDD mate flashed in front of his eyes at that instant. The resultant back fllick; or was it a back loop?, flying harmlessly over the stumps. The India captain and the DDD captain both came to him and asked, "Boss DK why didn't you turn back and throw the ball?" DK was too busy thinking about MSD's impending return to the team.

Later Sangakkara jumped down the pitch, confident that he could afford to miss the ball and yet run, shake hands with the non striker and come back again, secure in the knowledge that all would be well. DK had no intentions of proving Sanga wrong, but for those damned pads of his. Even DK with his immense talent was unable to stop the inevitable. Viru, the bowler came down the pitch and asked, "Boss DK, why didn't you collect the ball cleanly?" DK was too busythinking about MSD's impending return to the team.

The ball went to square leg when DK ran like a terrier trying to collect SRT's pants first and then the ball if possible. That could have been the first instance when a match ref penalised a player for physically assaulting his own team mate. It was not to be. SRT's modesty was saved. He asked, "Boss DK why did you lunge at my legs rather than at the cricket ball?" DK was too busy thinking about MSD's impending return to the team.

Not letting SRT get to his ton at Cuttack was DK's moment of crowning glory in the match. As Sfx mentioned later, DK scored more runs than his IQ. SRT came down the pitch and asked him, "Boss DK why did you hit the boundary when we needed 2 to win and I could still go for my century?" DK was too busy thinking about MSD's impending return to the team.

To the hindi knowing public 'BossDK' conveys the feelings perfectly. The non hindi speaking people will ask me, "Boss DK, what the hell are you talking about?"
