Everything was going great till the point the dreaded phone call came. Haydos was chilling with his mates down under [...]

Mumbai Indians win by a whisker and a few

March 13, 2010

I know that this blog supports Deccan Chargers but since I live in Mumbai, a feeble loyalty calls out. In spite of heroics by Yusuf Pathan who raced to a 37 ball 100 and then unfortunately went out, Mumbai had some sensible bowling at the death by Malinga and Zaheer to thank which led them [...]

Ganguly as skipper?

March 8, 2010

Paddle Sweep Wrong’un #1 As mentioned in the post in which I requested you to don the role of KKR Coach, this is the first in a set of questions for the Kolkata Knight Riders.
