The idea of off-season may be completely off to some. A previous post on it got, like, no response (We are thick-skinned. Heh), but however ill-fated it may be, we are determined to shop it around. For us, it’s the Great Romantic Novel (think Gone With the Wind). Someday […]

So the Australian Open finished off with the results I had predicted in this post. Masha, aka, Maria Sharapova sailed through to the trophy. As I said, nobody in the tournament weiled the kind of power she did, and on the men’s side, Djoker, aka, Novak Djokovic, got the better of suprise finalist Tsonga. We […]

Phew. That was longish. Our server, or whatever it is, I am told, was screwed. And we’d like to apologize to our readers for putting up with several days of no-show.
Actually, the server is pretty crooked, just like that lady whose name rhymes with shingles. You all know her, don’t you? It really likes to […]

There has been some interest in Sachin Tendulkar’s dismissal, but as Straight Point noted, “It’s one of those things, and you shouldn’t read too much into it.”
Ian Botham’s 1991 Hit Wicket could be regarded as the most famous one, although these dismissals are so rare that each one has a […]

ETA: Sorry, we’d to remove the images for technical reasons.
Cricket lookalike is my favorite type of fun post, and I’m always on a lookout for this kind of stuff. I’ve discovered one more lookalike– and he’s rather famous. A Bollywood catch, actually.
Tusshar Kapoor looks like the younger brother of the Indian pacer Zaheer Khan.
Just look […]

Not much happened in the Commonwealth Bank Series start-up match, but surprisingly, we’ve quite a few things to chirp about it.
Three Moments of the Match (in ascending order):
* Sachin’s dismissal: Hit wicket is a rare form of dismissal, and it was Sachin’s first, so that makes it quite special. The […]

Kumble’s personality has unfolded in an unprecedented manner over the last few months. How he trusts his instincts, sticks to his decisions, and stays cool and gentlemanly in the face of crises, is all very interesting to me.

We’ve added a site called CrickTack to blogroll. I don’t play pro cricket, so can’t say if it’s good or bad, but in a nutshell, it allows you to evaluate your performance by providing statistical data on it (how did that sound, btw?).
Looks cool. Might help some. Always game for […]

Murali was greeted with eggs (I suspect they were rotten) upon his arrival in Australia.
This is rather disheartening that a player of Murali’s stature is getting this type of treatment. Oh, I don’t care what you think about this bent arm and bowling angle. You’ve got to respect people.
