Switch Hitting is fine, but I have a problem

Was busy with my exams those days, so my switch hitting post is here. Its all right about it being not-illegal and not-legal and all that thing, but the question I have is :
Suppose a right handed batsman is switch hitting (a bowler faster than Scott Retirees), he becomes a left handed batsman, and I […]

Asia Cup 2008 Super League : India rout Bangladesh

India completed yet another professional match in their Professional Match winning streak by completely routing Bangladesh in the first match of the super 4s in the ongoing Asia Cup 2008 in Karachi, Pakistan.
When Bangladesh began well, about 60/1 in 10 overs (much better than Pakistan), MSD decided to let them score as many as they […]

Two groups (A and B) with three teams each, play a round robin league. Top 2 teams from each group qualify to the super 4s. Another round robin. The top 2 reach the final. The points from the initial group stage are carried forward to the super 4.

Asia Cup 2008 : India thrash Pakistan….again

This is turning out to be something we have to get used to now. Barring an odd defeat in an odd final, India seems to have got the better of Pakistan these days. Anyway, this match wasn’t that boring for me not to report it, though it could have been better.
It all began in an […]

Its Official : Beau Casson is good for nothing

An Ordinary Aussie! :o
I know Mr Casson Sr would have a hard time reading this, but its cool. I feel credit must be given where credit is due. I know all of you don’t want to read a lot about Beau, so I will keep it short.

West Indies vs Australia : 3rd Test : Session 4

It is really rare to see Shivnaraine Chandrapaul (I am sorry if I goofed with the spelling) and Sewnaraine Chattergoon (i don’t care here) play in the same team. Though it would be really amazing if they played for different teams. NOT!
At lunch, the match is precariously poised. West Indies are at 89/3 with the […]

Bridgetown Weather

When I feel that a test match could become interesting, I normally keep a tab on all the factors affecting the match. Weather is one of the most important factors affecting a match. 
I Bring to you : Georgetown Weather. Everyone stand up and clap
A tropical wave is affecting the island.

Generally cloudy to overcast with […]
