January 30, 2010

We are almost on the brink of the so called World Championshitp of cricket. A 2 Test series between India and South Africa. A Series which would also mean the first face off between Paddle and Ms. Print. If you don’t know who they are, look here. A Series which would leave the Aussies wondering [...]

There is something they say about premonitions. You don’t realize them as strongly as an intuition. Why do I say that? Well, about a week ago, I was participating in a draft selection game in which you had to forge an all time ODI XI. It was the later rounds, and by that time all [...]

I have a brain, therefore he is sexy

January 29, 2010

Yeah, yeah. This is taking way longer than first anticipated. Have you noticed that I have not picked a single Saffa for the AP XI? Let me reveal the wicketkeeper, ladies and gentleman: Kumar Sangakkara . He’s best known for that time he taunted and tortured the Saffas with that 624 run partnership with Mahela [...]

Australia have made the final of the U-19 world cup – we should probably care.

Taking the Mickey…

January 27, 2010

….out of the Proteas. We all saw that pun coming. Was left wide open. While it’s a damn good thing that Mickey Arthur is gone (five years is about right for life as an international cricket coach, this is not the premier league for goodness’ sake!) the way this whole thing was handled is just [...]

back in action, and something new

January 27, 2010

The reason why there were lesser posts the past week was a technical issue with my laptop. Its all fixed now, and great things can again be expected. Though this post is not about any of that. It is about something I initiated during my carefree phone-tweeting yesterday. What right now might just be in [...]

Oh no, not again?

January 26, 2010

[houdini] India is almost set to tour Sri Lanka this year in July-August. Why? Yes, WHY? Most fans are asking the same question to whoever they might ask a question to. The Sri Lankan Cricket Board, now called Sri Lanka Cricket, has its sights set on another tour from India, supposedly to fill the gap [...]

Random IPL Player – Anureet Singh

January 24, 2010

Anureet Singh is not someone who you will recognise on your next visit to the supermarket. Or anywhere else. He is just the turbaned player next door.
