Unlucky Indian Cricketers making their debut in Bangladesh

I came across this interesting piece of fact. They say that Bangladesh is such a happy hunting ground for cricketers. Obviously it is, but what if we consider players making their debut in Bangladesh? What if we consider just Indian cricketers? The result is surprising. I did some research and this is what I […]

Kitply Cup : Pakistan defeat Bangladesh

As if this post was necessary. As if I haven’t told all of you that Bangladesh should be given some time before they are sent to top flight cricket. But no one would listen. Yet another loss. And that too against the biggest give-hope-to minnows team in the world - Pakistan.

England beat New Zealand in the Third Test

England win by an innings and 9 runs. New Zealand were rendered helpless and found wanting on the fourth day of the Third Test. We had earlier reported how KP saved England on the first day! Maybe that proved to be the catalyst for a really inspired performance by the Poms.

England vs New Zealand - 3rd Test - Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Day 1

Kevin Pietersen has been oft criticized for being too irrational and inconsistent! But not today. He was rational and scored 115. While a few of my friends are mulling over the IPL, i thought it was time to move on in life. Everything you love might go away, but this one will come back.

Mohammad Asif caught with drugs!

Now this one is shocking! Not the fact that Asif has a thing for drugs, we know that already. But the fact that he had the balls to carry it with him when landing on the Dubai Airport! It is another matter that when he left the Mumbai Airport, he must still be having the […]
