Alcohol and being underage

February 2, 2012

What does alcohol have to do with cricket? The answer to this question is ‘a lot’! Loads in fact. When was the last time a major series win wasn’t celebrated with the uncorking of the bubbly? Of course people drink after games. Hell, for most of the commentators, thats all they do after a game. [...]

The Pace Twins

November 30, 2011

Varun Aaron & Umesh Yadav can bowl quick. They can bat as well. Both are going to Australia. Wouldn’t it be nice if India played 4 fast bowlers in a game? Of course, Rashwin would mind, but I would really not mind if Rashwin could further improve his batting (and his running) and maybe even [...]

India thrash England at Hyderabad

October 14, 2011

The new season thus begins. India had never won a game at this stadium, though a sample space of 3 isn’t flattering at all. Something was surely going to give. Aren’t we the world champions, after all? India won the toss and batted first. Oh wait! At first, there was no telecast at all. The [...]

The idea was mooted in [...]

lords day 2

July 23, 2011

Praveen Kumar was asked after the day’s play whether he had worked on his wrist position, and he didn’t have a clue what was being talked about there. I bet he doesn’t know what the ‘mace’ stands for.  Praveen Kumar’s name will now be on the honors boards at the Lords Cricket Ground. He bowled [...]

5 things leading to 6

July 1, 2011

Ishant Sharma took 6/55 at Barbados today. His last spell went like this: 4.4-2-6-3. That is 28 balls, 6 runs, 3 wickets. Good stuff by a bowler who had been all but written off by the writing fraternity, cajoled for his no-ball problems and also gravely accused of being the IPL’s bitch. The Indian Premier [...]

India tour West Indies

June 4, 2011

First of all, what is with Sachin Tendulkar and the Caribbean? Like seriously, what? The last time India toured there in 2006, he missed out. This time too, he has decided to take a ‘break’. Is the place too boring for the master, or are we talking of a few skeletons in the closet? Speculations [...]
