Kumble and Dravid: Good Times for Good Friends

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
That Anil Kumble would join the league of Warne and Murali, nobody had the slightest hint of five years back. But this chap has really grown on us all– not only with his performance but also his integrity and character.
Not to overlook Rahul Dravid, who with 165 catches is […]

Gary Kirsten Gears Up

The other day someone was asking around, “Where’s the Gary Kirsten?” I recalled we had done one post on Gary Kirsten some time back, and then forgot all about him.
He deserves one more.

I forget the poll, again…

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
In our next poll, we speculate which Indian senior will go down first.
Options:
SachinĀ  Tendulkar
Rahul Dravid
Sourav Ganguly
There’s one more option, which I advice against voting for.
Why this poll? Your voice matters!
I have voted. Have you?

How old are you, Rahul Dravid, India No. 3?

Rahul Dravid is a giant.
He has close to 10, 000 runs in both the versions of the game. That’s a lot of burden for someone aged 35.
Yes, folk, Rahul Dravid just turned 35 on Januay 11th. So here’s wishing him a very happy birthday (belated, of course)
India’s best No. 3, […]

I forget the poll…

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
For a lack of anything interesting to say today, I’ll present to you the results of a frivolous poll that had been running all this while.
We asked: Who seriously needs to drop pounds around their butt?
38 % of you voted, rightfully, for Ramesh Powar. He was seen doing tai chi […]

What you are saying…

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Drink
I’ve decided to highlight a reader comment every week. Sometimes, our readers leave really intelligent comments.
Here’s a latest one from Hilal in response to the Murali video. Somehow it ended up in the spam queue, so you didn’t notice it probably.
Thank you for highlighting the video. It was uploaded by […]

Blast From the Past: Most Disgraceful Moment in Cricketing History

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
This happened at a time when we weren’t around, so it is both interesting and a lesson in history for us.
We are talking about the infamous Trevor Chappel underarm incident during the third final of the Benson-Hedges Trophy (aka. World Series Cup) between Australia and New Zealand in 1981/82.
New Zealand […]

Quote of the Week: Haughty Aussies

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
Geoff Lawson, current Pakistan coach and former Aussie cricketer, told the Daily Telegraph:
“There’s certainly been a lot of feeling from ex-players who think the baggy green has been disrespected. Some of these (current) players need to be spoken to. I certainly don’t agree with dragging (Ricky) Ponting’s captaincy, I just […]

Coins, Cricket, and Conspiracy

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
News is that umpire Steve Bucknor won’t officiate at Perth, which means Billy Bowden will be replacing him. And there’s another news that Harbhajan Singh’s ban has been suspended following BCCI’s appeal against the same, which means he can play the rest of the matches. Of course, the team […]
