Jonty Rhodes stopped more runs in his time than any other cricketer.
But did ya know when and exactly how the legend of Jonty Rhodes started? The 1992 World Cup. With Inzamam Ul Haq’s run-out.

Sachin Tendulkar has refused to captain India’s Test side for reasons that are unknown to mortals as of yet. Most self-claimed cricket experts (my dad included) are of view that Tendulkar simply lacks executive intelligence-the kind that is needed to lead an international team. He’s no match to Ponting, Waugh, and the like, of course.
Let’s […]

Donned in a long green robe, a white fluffy beard cupping his chin, and a crescent resting on his head, Chacha Cricket, traslated from Urdu as Uncle Cricket, is perhaps the game’s craziest fan. He follows the Pakistani cricket team down to every nook of the world (the rumor has it that PCB pays him […]

Cricket is not the only sport I follow, in case you thought so.
Some interesting things have happened in the past two weeks in other sports that I am passionate about.

I spent a sleepless month in September. You know why. The T20 World Cup. I finally got my forty winks after the final. Before my eyes could adapt to light, Australia came down and I found myself entrapped again. But it seems a little different with the Indian Oil Cup. I’ll admit that I […]

Anyone see a problem in Malik’s leading? I do.
A lot has already been said about his inadequacy as a Test captain, but Pakistan’s T20 spectacle kind of silenced critics. Consensus: The chap is learning, and he absolutely kicks ass in the limited over version of the game, so there’s nothing to worry about. Granted. But […]

Recently, I ran into a British guy based in Bermuda. He’s been around the Americas for quite a while now, and he’s more of an American now. We discussed cricket. Obviously. He admitted to never getting the hang of the game, but he had the guts to quiz me, quiz someone who blogs about the […]

PETA guys aren’t going to be too happy with the Broad father-son duo. I am not one for killing animals, too. Yes, I dissect frogs (dead ones) at the lab, but I don’t kill them for fun. Duh.
Bad guys always get the….duh!

So, who do you think was splashed all over the Indian newspapers the day after the Pakistan team landed on Indian soil? Yeah right. Shoaib Akhtar.
I would have preferred Umar Gil, the T20 wonder guy, or even Rao Iftikar, who showed a lot of promise against South Africa. But who wants to cash in on […]
