Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

Public Plea to Brett Lee

Lots of bat-and-ball action coming up. I can’t stop you (or me) from watching, but don’t be a loser. Don’t waste all your time to TV - eyes balls protruding out of the sockets and tongue sticking out- marveling at Clarke’s strokes (or hair, if you are female).
In the meanwhile, if you […]

That’s what you get when you win…

Thanks be to the forces that be! The first ODI between India and Australia was called off due to rain. I don’t think India would have reached 307 in anyway — given their history in chasing.
But I am writing this post to actually give you a glimpse of the grand welcome Dhoni and Boys received […]

Pic of the Day: The Mystery of the Guy with the Tattoo

There are no prizes for guessing, but help me figure out the guy with the tattoo in the pic. I want to believe he’s Vetorri, but tattoos aren’t his stuff, are they? The other one is fair game: Craig MacMillan

Why Dhoni is Cool.

This post is slightly inspired by Uncle J. Rod’s post on Dhoni. I thought it was time for my take, too.
I had kind of always admired him, not in the girly way, but for his swashbuckling batting knocks and also, er, um, his locks.
Dhoni’s Cricketing Career’s Top Three Highlights:
1. He first sprang to worldwide […]

So, my intuition had been wrong…thankfully!

Of course, I had wanted India to win, but my gut feeling was in conflict with my emotions. Like you know, Pakistan had a superb run in the Super Eight and semis, and it looked like they would take the cake. I am sure many other Indians shared that feeling. After all, we have been […]

It can’t better than this– for Harbhajan.

So, as I had been howling at the forums, it’s gonna be an Indo-Pak grand finale. No one believed me. “India’s chances are slim, boy.” “They can’t get past the Aussies.” “Heck, NZ might just kick Pak out, then?”
Everything, so far, has happened as I had wanted it to.
So, while I “bhangra” like Bhajji, […]

Yuvraj’s Jab in Freddie’s Jaw

Jab with a bat, eh? A different kind, though. Now, that was some strike-back. Sad, Broad had to incur Yuvraj’s fury. It looked like the baby-faced was going to burst into tears! Freddie, who is so given to it, will now at least “think” before running into anyone.
Anyway, now that we are really talking jabs, […]

Friday Special: Heroes of the Week

This week two players have made it to the Friday Special feature.
Yuvraj Singh
The six straight sixes he hit has sealed his name in the Indian cricket history. And he can also keep the fastest fifty record to himself for a while.

Brett Lee
Wow, Brett “Brute” Lee is back. I think we need to […]

The Poll’s running!

Wow, so the Super 8 has rounded off, and here’s the semi-final line-up:
SM 1: Pakistan vs. New Zealand Venue- Cape Town (September 22, 12:00)
SM 2: India vs. Australia Venue: Durban (September 22, 18:00)
