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 [...]

a lot of water…

August 22, 2010

This post is a combination of an apology and an admission. I have been blogging about cricket since 2005, this is the 6th year running, and I might have written more than 500 posts or so. Hell, Paddle Sweep is more than two years old now. It’s been a long time in this arena. What [...]

The Future of Test Cricket

July 31, 2010

There have been a lot of questions over whether the dwindling attention span of the average cricket fan can afford to take in another test of over 1300 runs in the first innings. Questions about the future of test cricket are being raised. People who bet on sports regularly are also considering quitting citing the [...]

why india is playing like this

June 5, 2010

Indian cricket is going through a funny phase lately. After the dismal non-caring performance in the second half of the World T20, seven of the team’s top players were dropped so that they could be done with their endorsements and twitter commitments. This was done to ensure that they have nothing to complain about the [...]

Oh no, not again?

January 26, 2010

[houdini] India is almost set to tour Sri Lanka this year in July-August. Why? Yes, WHY? Most fans are asking the same question to whoever they might ask a question to. The Sri Lankan Cricket Board, now called Sri Lanka Cricket, has its sights set on another tour from India, supposedly to fill the gap [...]

the story of 5 overs

January 6, 2010

I have so much to write about this game. I am so depressed right now, more depressed that the amount Rahul Dravid used to be when he was captain. Even more depressed than George W Bush on 9/11. It would be fair to say that India lost the match in the last 5 overs. There [...]

at Rajkot

December 15, 2009

Kumar Sangakkara can sometimes be a total nutjob. Before the tour began, he claimed that his team had the balls to beat India in India. He lost the test series 0-2, because he let the Indian batting get away. The biggest threat to any opposition against India is India’s Batting prowess. Sehwag. Sachin. Gambhir Yuvraj [...]

Amends to make, I have

December 14, 2009

This is the preview for INDIA for the 5 Game ODI Series India’s fielding in the T20s was not fishy, as MSD described. It was shithouse, to say the least. The word ‘fishy’ might be used to describe things out of place, but not here. The Indian approach to fielding was skewed far more towards [...]

of Regrets, God and Redemption

December 4, 2009

Yes, I am talking about Virender Sehwag. Not because everyone else is. I have been an astute follower of Sehwagology, for over an year now. I would like to thank JRod and the God Himself for that. This post is not about Sehwagology. It is about the swagger associated with it. I watched when Sehwag [...]
