What the Ashes mean to a Saffa

November 23, 2010

It’s not often that Saffas get to watch two teams we completely loathe lock horns and fight to the death for the smallest trophy in sporting history. Well, it’s only every two years, really. Everything about this tournament is fantastic. It’s everything you got taught cricket would be and everything our great, great, great grandkids [...]

Watch out, the Ashes are here

November 22, 2010

If you have read our bio, you would know that I am an England supporter when India are not playing. Hence, I get very excited when the ashes are around, cos it gives me a great chance to bag the aussies. Somehow, I do not like them at all. It could be because they were [...]

Australia are worse than Bangladesh

November 17, 2010

Thanks to simple math I have come to the conclusion that Australia are worse than Bangladesh at the moment. It works like this: Australia got mauled by India in India (again, as usual) New Zealand got mauled by Bangladesh (ouch, remember that?) Now India can’t beat New Zealand and Twatajhan is still in the squad. [...]

Why Australia deserved to lose to Sri Lanka

November 4, 2010

Michael Clarke. Yes, that is the end of this post. The Aussie skipper was the sole reason they lost. His body language, speech and captaincy makes one wonder if there is something wrong with Life, the Universe and Everything. Or is it just him? Picture this: Sri Lanka had one run to get. Two wickets [...]

How Australia can win the Ashes

November 4, 2010

21 Days. That’s how much time is left before the first Ashes Test kicks off in Brisbane and Australia begin their quest not to be completely humilated on their own turf and, of course, to not lose the Ashes. It feels like just yesterday when it was a year away, doesn’t it? I must say, [...]

India vs Australia 2nd ODI at Vishakhapatnam

October 20, 2010

This First ODI got washed out of course, and hence the remaining two of this vastly important series are vastly important. Important because Munaf Patel needs mentioning. Important because Test Match Sofa are covering it Important because we need to get rid of Ravindra Jadeja. How much importance is important anyways? Yes, there is going [...]

India vs Australia 1st ODI at Kochi

October 16, 2010

This is a three ODI series, which makes it nothing more than a practice session for both the teams against tough opposition before Aussies await the Ashes and India get ready to rape New Zealand. In such circumstances, a build-up is considered irrelevant and any attempt to hype is considered naive. Not by us. This [...]

Aussie Cricketers: Hot Or Not

October 2, 2010

Whenever I tell girls that there are hot men who play cricket they look at me in the same way they do when I tell them I don’t know how to do my own make up. We run a Cute XI series on here but I got distracted by the choice and we only got [...]

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 [...]
