India’s forthcoming tour of Australia later this year will take place without any test matches, after the Board for Control of Cricket in India (christened as #bleddyBCCI by our friends on Twitter) officially informed whoever willing to listen that they do not believe in the longest and the most pious form of cricket.

John Howard is brooding in vain

July 4, 2010

This is a post by Paddle, and not Mspr1nt. I wish I could write as well as she does! Cheers… I haven’t been blogging for about a month now, because nothing interesting seemed to be happening.

Of Bangladesh, Tait and poor Pakistan

September 16, 2008
