Blue turned mellow?

September 30, 2010

The first test between India and Australia starts tomorrow. First of all, where the hell is the buzz? Ricky Ponting was today asked whether this was the most peaceful Ind-OZ test series in recent memory. Mellow. VeryMellow. It is another thing that Ponting replied saying that “The series has not started yet” – a reply [...]

Will the real WICB please wake up?

September 29, 2010

Chris Gayle has become the latest West Indies cricketer so snub his central contract and ‘keep his options open’. IE: host parties with rappers called Cash Money (was that his name?)  and play in ‘smaller’ leagues where he earns more money in a couple of weeks than what he would earn playing for his country [...]

Freelance cricketers? Why the hell not

September 28, 2010

Last week Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard snubbed the WICB by turning down contracts to play for the West Indies. Initially, I lost my $h!t. How dare they! Treason! Bastards! Traitors! Burn them at the stake! Not that I have any affiliation to the West Indies aside from a childhood romance, but you get the [...]

The “whistle podu” takes over the world

September 27, 2010

© Chennai Super Kings Yesterday, in front of a full house at the New Wanderers in Johannesburg, Mahendra Singh Dhoni lifted the Airtel Champions League T20 2010 and the team pocketed a miserly sum of $2.5 million US. It was not about the money, of course. There were a lot of speculators mouthing that Indian [...]

Why test cricket should die

September 23, 2010

Because there are no legs left in the old boy. Because Test Cricket cannot compete in either attention or revenues with ODI and T20 cricket. Because the town ain’t big enough for all three. Because it is a self fulfilling prophecy. Too much is being said about the primacy of Test cricket and how much [...]

Who’s in, who’s out? SA announce the squads to face Zim

September 22, 2010

Oh, and of course, Pakistan a tour I don’t think should go ahead. Pakistan cricket is in the sticky brown stuff at the moment and, if the ICC truly care about sorting out the issues, they need to take a stand and stop cricket being played against them, at least for a couple of months. [...]

Aaaand, fight! England and Pakistan get physical

September 21, 2010

But what would happened if  a full-on fist fight had to break out in the middle of the pitch? Who would win? I [...]
