Yes, you read it right. No, its not Lakshmi Rai. I have known this truth for a few months now, but have refrained from revealing it on the blog, as I have nothing against Dhoni wanting to keep a few things private. His publicist would of course have helped in this matter. All was going well till a certain Ms. Lakshmi Rai just stands up from her seat and shouts that she is the love [...]

While the mighty (LOL) Aussies were busy wiping their sins clean against Sussex, the good old this-time-not-the-underdogs English had a little soul-searching trip of their own. It seems that the England Cricket Team paid a two day visit to Flanders Field in Belgium, a place famous for its mythical leadership stories when the British Army went to war very early in the past century. Here is a video to know more about the field: The [...]

Former India captain Sourav Ganguly, who made his television commentary debut at the T20 World Cup, in a rather boring avatar, has been invited to give a lecture at the University of Oxford in England as part of ICC centenary celebrations. There are a lot of ideas on what he would lecture about? It can’t be on the resurgence of cricketing competence in India, as he was not involved in it and that will be [...]

India played Bangladesh in the group stages of the last ICC World Cup in 2007. India lost. On that day, I had promised myself that I would not watch any India-Bangladesh world cup fixture in the future until India won.

While Dhoni and his UNITED men were on the field scoring those runs and then defending them, [...]

Before I begin, a few words about the new cricinfo. I have a pretty slow internet connection here in Delhi, and I find that a lot of sites take a very long time to load. One thing I was certain of was that cricinfo would not fall in that category. The cricinfo bosses thought otherwise, and totally sold out to ESPN. Now the people at ESPN believe, and always believed that WiMax is overrated, and [...]

by Jandler aka Ankit Mishra First of all, I would apologise to the BCC! members about not turning up for the live event as I promised. I have had the pleasure, rather experience of meeting a certain Rohit Sharma in person. It was at an event organised to facilitate achievers in the field of movies. What Rohit was doing there, I did not ask him. What I asked him can not be published as I [...]

by Ankit Mishra Yes, it has been a long break for both me and this blog. A lot of things have happened since. A lot of things very bizarre. Take this for example: “Bangalore and Deccan reached the finals of the IPL.” The team placed last in the previous edition has won the tournament this year. Freaks me out. This would give relegated EPL clubs a chance to protest, if nothing else. In totally unrelated [...]
