West Indies

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 [...]

The PaddleShopper: It was no Thriller, it was just bad…

March 24, 2011

After a crushing 10-wicket defeat at the hands of Pakistan, the West Indies limped out of the World Cup looking like they’d had the life sucked out them. I’m sure this time they were getting stoned on the bus home, and singing “Who’s Bad?”.

Friday’s Fine Leg: Shiv Chanderpaul

March 4, 2011

Most girls will pull their noses up at the mere thought of this. But not me. Shiv is just lovely. His accent. His cute little face twitching like he has a fly sitting on his nose or he has done too much cocaine. His odd, crab like stance. The fact that his psychotic father used [...]

I got love for you if your name is Sulieman Benn

March 1, 2011

I’ve always been a fan of Sulieman Benn. I mean, how can you not? But yesterday was special. While Chris Gayle was playing a chizzled innings instead of a sledgehammer slogging innings, Benn was planning his attack. If Benn were an animal, he’d be  a honey badger. Honey badgers like to fight with snakes, poisonous [...]

dear WI, you and me could write a bad romance

February 24, 2011

I’ve never made my love for the West Indies a secret. I’ve always shouted it from the rooftops and displayed it in Twitter avatars. But this is a sick, masochistic sort of love. Like pining over that really hot girl when you’re the acne-faced teenage boy who spends his whole weekend talking to girls in [...]

Chris Gayle is better than you

November 16, 2010

He might no longer be captain and I might have lost a little bit of respect for him after he snubbed his contract but that doesn’t change the fact that Chris Gayle is still one of the most entertaining cricketers around. Scoring 333 in about two days takes some doing. Having a heart condition and [...]

Logical Follower Conclusion

November 4, 2010

Take a look at the image below. All we did was to follow Kieron Pollard on twitter, and suddenly a suggestion popped up. Mere co-incidence? I don’t think so. You be the judge….

Chris Gayle’s Tweets translated

October 27, 2010

Being a West Indies cricketer is a hard job. Not only do you have to have a couldn’t care less attitude but you also need  to lose series on a constant basis. Then, once in a while, you have to achieve something like the 51-all-out Test against an under par England side. People have to [...]

10 Sulieman Benn Facts

October 8, 2010

Sulieman Benn doesn’t need to search the internet, he just stares a computer down until it gives him the information he needs. If Sulieman Benn was Spartan, the movie would be called 1 God had to give Sulieman Benn immunity on the sixth commandment "Thou shalt not kill". If he hadn’t, Benn would’ve considered God [...]
