Sri Lanka

..and thus the prodigal returneth. So?

November 27, 2009

Shantakumaran Sreesanth. When he took the 5-40 against the Saffas at Johannesburg, people cheered, bats were swung, minstrels performed for an extra 15 minutes, and transitional meditation prices soared above 18k a day. Dollars. cut to yesterday Sreesanth, or Freesanth took 5-75 on a spinner friendly wicket (who makes these proclamations?) and every person worth [...]

Kanpur Tried and Tested. Again.

November 24, 2009

The second test between India and Sri Lanka kicks off today. As I type this, Sehwag has already hit three consecutive fours off Muralidharan. He is batting on 115 off 110, and Gambhir is on 89 off 120 odd. What more can I say. Apart from this. Do not go there. This is what I [...]

Dhoni injured, Karthik flown in

November 23, 2009

Dinesh Karthik has been put on a plane to Kanpur from wherever he was earlier today. The reason – MS Dhoni seems to be injured. Just hold on till I Google what injury we are talking about here. Yeah, thanks for staying. Apparently, its  pinkie injury. I say that for lack of knowledge about which [...]

Gambhir Joins the injured list

September 10, 2009

World’s best batsman injured! Zaheer, Sehwag, and now Gambhir. This is one heck of a paid leave our cricketers are enjoying. All ‘work’ and no ‘play’ makes you a stupid person. No one seems to take that seriously though, with people queuing up to be a part of the injured gang. Virat Kohli has been [...]

someone teach these black shirts a thing or two

January 31, 2009

  I am not a big fan of dissent. But for one umpiring blunder today, I support it. Yuvraj should have taken his club and batted the umpire till his face turned the colour of his shirt. There was a huge inside edge and the umpire couldn’t see it and gave him leg before! I [...]

India to tour Sri Lanka – again!

January 15, 2009

I know this sounds crazy but when in the world of modern cricket, returning favors is all a board thinks about, there is little critics like me can do. India had just toured Sri Lanka before the South Africans came visiting last year, and now they are going again in February for 5 ODIs and [...]

India vs Sri Lanka : 5th ODI and England vs South Africa 2nd ODI – Update

August 30, 2008

This is just to follow up on the previous post. The Sri Lanka innings ended at 227/6. Quite defendable, but of course not a certainty. What if the highest rated ODI Batsman takes charge again. Anyway’s, the Indians started well, the Kohli dude getting 31 and all. Then, suddenly the Indian think tank thought about [...]

India vs Sri Lanka : 4th ODI and England vs South Africa 2nd ODI

August 29, 2008

Howdy. The match is getting quite interesting now, with India getting a few quick wickets and jolting the Lankans. The innings began rather nicely for the Indians, with Sri Lanka being about 24 for 1 after 10 overs. Then the new-face newcomers Warnapura and Udawatte (not sure if I am spelling him right, I checked, [...]
