*The Poms. Er. Englishchers. I mean the English. Beating the Sri Lankan tigers on their own home turf is no ring-a-ring-a-roses.
Scorecard
Glad Anderson came into his own. With Stu (ahem, get used to Stuart Broad being called by that nickname, here) continuing to impress (ladies) by constantly taking wickets and handling pressure well (good comeback, btw, […]

Hi Ozzies! Pissed at your team’s latest debacle on Indian soil? Hey. Cheer up.
Could anyone beat you guys at mimicry? [and well, um, sledging]
My sympathies to who-ever-this-NewZealander-is. No, I won’t watch this again. Promise.
Some clever work here. I don’t know if it’s to do with his turban, but everyone finds Panesar very funny. And how […]

The couplet from A Tale of Two Cities applies to Harbhajan’s current situation extremely well.
Good news: Harbhajan’s 2-wicket haul at the 4th ODI against Oz played a key role in India’s comeback.
Bad new: The old boy will have to incur Jodie aka Snark Goddess’s wrath. I told ya, it never helps to be […]

Okay, I know it really pisses me off when my American friends ask after “that insect blog of mine”, and I did actually make it known in my last post, but it never ceases to surprise me how much cricket is actually being played over there. Yet, cricket is a silly old member of the […]

A writer friend congratulated me on my blog:
Wow. A cricket blog. That seems rather limiting. How much can you say about the little chirping bugs?

It gives me really bad vibes when good players start performing, well, badly, especially after some good show. James Anderson, we saw, did a brilliant job of keeping the opponents (uh, Indians) on toes on the recent test series. He was judged Man-of-the-Series, along with Zaheer Khan, for taking 14 wickets (that is coming off […]

This space is meant for honoring the players who do well and bring good to the sport, but I am in no mood for honoring today, that’s fer sure.
Hero Turned Loser # 1 Andrew Symonds aka Roy:
The guy with the brown (or is it golden, or golden+brown, you better judge) streaks is one of the […]

Today is Gandhi’s 132nd birth anniversary, and while I am open to any criticism regarding how out-of-my-way I went with proving the Gandhi-cricket connection, let’s give him a salute for all the cool stuff he did. And to him, this post is dedicated.
Have you ever wondered if Gandhi played or even followed cricket? […]

Kaneria’s physiognomy reminds me of one of my botany profs (you know who you are!) who appears to be always grinning.
I will leave it up to you guys to caption this one.

The only big news for today is that India lost to Australia by 84 runs in the second ODI at Kochi. The hosts were bundled out for 222 with 2.3 overs to spare in response to the touring team’s 307. Does 307 ring some bells? This was the same total put up by them in […]
