And you thought Asians don’t sledge? Think again

They sledge all the time.

Oh, and come to think of it, where’s Munaf, the prodigy, these days?

Ganguly blew it. Totally.

My favorite. Some nerve.

Cute

The famous jellybean aftermath. Have yet to make sense of this one, though.

…but too many jokes can spoil the broth

Prologue: YouTube and I aren’t the best of friends. I have had to delete a post chock full of my latest video findings because it messed up the sidebar. I’ll get down to fix the problem (which probably lies in me).

Soon after Karthik hit the winning four, he was questioned by one of the commentators, “It was pretty tight when you walked in. But it looked […]

We are fine with both cricket and baseball. Any probs, Mr. Tharoor?

Prologue:
I was going to review Warney’s autobiography and boy, was I glad to present my recent epiphanies about the leggie, but what the heck, something spoiled my mood. And here you have a rant.

Green Earth, Green Cricket

Prologue: Irony of Six’s life: Lives in the world’s seventh most polluted city, and the cricket stadium (where she’ll be cheerleading this coming November during India vs. Pak) the city owns is named, well, the Green Park. Sadly, green is the last color you’ll notice there.

It’s Sunday and I can’t fake it.

Okay, I know I have been faking all this while that I have practically no interest in the Future Cup, and I have intentionally refrained from babbling about it (until it became absolutely necessary).

Round-up From the Blogosphere

I am all for originality, creativity and kick-assity (Ugh. Night has had its toll on me.)
So here’s a shout-out to all the great cricket stuff being poured into the unobliging oblivion of the blog-universe.

We’ll miss ya, Inzy.

While I will never appreciate his decision to walk his team off the field at the Oval, I have always had a fair amount of respect for him as a player.
Oh yeah, the fat factor’s always there. Right.
Sadly though, he fell short of Miandad’s record of most test runs by a Pakistani by 3 runs. […]

Sreesanth: The Way Out?

Following some of Sreesanth’s antics in the first two one-dayers, Warney was quoted as saying:
I don’t think anything was over the top, so I think it’s going to add a bit of spice to the summer.

Everyone’s going to be looking for Sreesanth to do his stuff and it shows with a bit of passion. […]
