This post is a combination of an apology and an admission. I have been blogging about cricket since 2005, this is the 6th year running, and I might have written more than 500 posts or so. Hell, Paddle Sweep is more than two years old now. It’s been a long time in this arena. What [...]

After/Before reading this, do vote on the left You know it’s been a good day when you are arguing with a random bloke you have never met about which Bollywood star is hotter. While we would all love to oil these ladies up and put them in the cage so that they can battle it [...]
