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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Something different about the Aussie players

September 13, 2010

I was looking at some of the comments left by visitors to this blog and chanced upon this one. Seems like more than a few Aussie players (present and past) are of unique origins. By unique I mean non-South-African of course. Moises Henriques is of Portuguese descent. Theo Doropoulos is of Greek descent. Michael Kasprowicz [...]

Old wine in new bottle

May 16, 2010

This is not the best day for clichés, but I couldn’t resist this one. Australia take on England in the final of the World T20 today and everyone is hyping the much-hyped Ashes rivalry. Cricket’s oldest rivals are taking each other on in the newest format. The men who played in suits are locking horns [...]

Kane Williamson gets a call up

March 25, 2010

On a personal front, I love young teens who make it to the national side. The early exposure puts them under performance pressure without the excess need to perform. They always have the time to re-prove themselves lest they fail. If they fail. Most of them grab the opportunity with both hands gleefully. I sincerely [...]

Australia have made the final of the U-19 world cup – we should probably care.

January 28, 2010

This is a Guest Post by Sid, who can be found at Thoughts from the Dustbin If we discount the inaugural U19 world cup, which was really just Bicentenary celebrations for Australia anyway, there have been 7 competitions in total (current one inclusive). Australia have made only 1 final – in the 01/02 tournament – [...]

Murder

December 7, 2009

There has been a murder in cricket. I am not talking about some test series where some team beat some other team and the former became World’s Number 1 team. I am talking about the Adelaide Test. Here are the details of the crime: Victim: Mark Benson Prime Suspect: Umpiring Decision Review System or UDRS [...]
