South Africa

It’s not that I’m upset about SA playing crap…

December 27, 2010

…I’m just so upset about Twatajhan doing well. Today was an emotional day full of commentary clichés. South Africa proved that, on any given day, anybody can take 10 wickets. Harbajhan Singh proved that I cannot possible despise any other player more than I despise him. There’s a demon in the Kingsmead pitch. South Africa [...]

If you don’t have your SA v Ind Test tickets yet…

December 23, 2010

…get them today. There is a new ticketing system for the South Africa – India series. It’s called Ticketpros and it’s crap. I think a loftof things are crap, including most ticketing systems, but this takes things to a new level of crap and it has a very high f%*!@ up factor. When it took [...]

December 20, 2010

After we’d all made peace with the fact that it’ll probably never happen, Jacques Kallis score that ever-elusive 200. Did it have anything to do with his brand-spanking new hair implants?

That thing called urgency (how to take two wickets)

December 20, 2010

Pop quiz: a South African cricket player’s house is on fire. What does he take? a) wickets b) his time c) Why does he have a home? He should sleep under the bowling machine. Not particularly funny, but you get the message. We’re here again. South Africa on are on the brink of becoming the [...]

divine intervention

December 19, 2010

I am not talking about the Rain, Thunderstorm and Bad Light. I am talking about Sachin Tendulkar. I know there will be a lot of other blogs talking this up, the 50th Century and all and I won’t indulge a lot. There is something which I want to bring up. It happened during the first [...]

Centurion Day 2 – From an Indian Fan

December 18, 2010

During the first test of the Ashes, I had suggested that England do something in order to save the test. The suggestion was for them to bat till the fat lady sings. India need to do just that from the third day onward. That is, if South Africa declare today. On day 2, India lost [...]

Centurion Day 1 – From an Indian Fan

December 17, 2010

by Ankit Mishra (Paddle) This is very frustrating. Building up a series so emphatically and then seeing your team collapse on the first day itself can only suck. But there were 8 emotions which defined my day: Here they are, in order of occurrence Go Sehwag. Kill these guys. Flash, flash hard. Why are you [...]

On first day at Centurion, cricket gave to me….

December 16, 2010

….rain that makes you so bored. ….super soppers to clear the rain that poured ….and humble pie as the crowd roared. The day went a little something like this. It’s raining, we won’t have play today. Oh no wait, some sunshine, about 2cm of blue sky. Ah, shit, more rain. Definitely no play today. Drizzle [...]

SA vs India – 1st Test Preview

December 15, 2010

Apparently there is a Test series of sorts about to start. In all honesty, I’d forgotten about it. Not because I don’t care, more because I have a bad memory. I was lucky enough to spend some time watching Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid and all those other guys practice at the Claremont Cricket [...]
