First take a look at these pictures: When Virender Sehwag stepped in to bat today, little did he know that inspite of it being a belter of a track, it was not his day. When a person is blessed with a miracle, he seldom gets to share the accolades with others. That actually did not [...]

The two teams face off again. On another belter at Gwalior. I reckon I need to find the origins of the word belter as soon as I churn out this post. Both teams have already arrived, and the game begins in about 200 minutes from now. Gwalior has been a great hunting ground for the [...]

What a great year to have a Twat

February 23, 2010

It’s not often that I compliment Australian cricketers, unless they are good looking of course. And it’s definitely not often that I compliment arrogant little pricks but Shane Watson has made it hard to help myself. If there were cricket fairytales scripted, Watson would play the hero, the villain and the ugly step mother. Originally [...]

it is that time of the year again…the laziness creeps in. Blogging is not for the lazy though. Yes, this is about the India vs South Africa game at Jaipur, which was supposedly stolen from South Africa because they were too busy looking after their security to claim a win. However, that did not dampen [...]

Was I right…maybe

February 17, 2010

I should be upset. I should, but I am not. In fact, I have a smug grin on my say and I don’t hate to say it but I told you so. South Africa are quite average. They lack killer instinct and, they’ve tied the noose…all they need to do is choke now. Good friend [...]

Cricket’s very own Valentines Day

February 14, 2010

Today is Valentines Day, you know that already. If cricketers were to celebrate the day with colleagues, forget past differences and proverbially kiss and make up, who would they pick? I have a few ideas, I am sure you do two. The aim is to find the top 5 cricketing individual rivalries which got ugly [...]

February 13, 2010

With Michael Clarke being stripped of the captaincy gig and the Cute XI left in disarray, the latest Hottie Elect – Daniel Vettori was more than welcome to step up to the plate. Paddlesweep came under fire recently for selecting Daniel Luca Vettori as its new captain but there are more than enough reasons why [...]
