The business community in Pakistan is pretty keen on this idea. In an interview which the PCB Chief Naseem Ashraf, […]

The latest on Shoaib Akhtar! Something Fishy!

Remember that sixandout had reported that Shoaib Akhtar of the Kolkata Knight Riders and er…Pakistan has been banned from International and Pakistan Domestic Cricket for 5 years. Then we reported that his appeal against his ban had been rejected and his ban stood. So far so good. Or bad, if you happen to be Shoaib. […]

SRK Gifts, Rajasthan Wins, Ganguly Cheats!

Just watched the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals match on telly. A few things prior to the match came to my attention. Since the owner of the Kolkata team has gifted each player a new laptop, the Knight Riders have never won. Some coincidence. I hope Vijay Mallaya (liquor baron, owner of the Bangalore […]

Owners of IPL : Shah Rukh Khan

We start with Mr. Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Apart from owning the IPL Team, SRK is arguably the biggest star of the Indian Film Industry.
In India, he is referred to as King Khan, […]

Standard Bank Pro20 : The Titans win it

The South African T20 league, I mean the P20 league has been quite a success at home, but has failed to generate any interest elsewhere, but the same can be said to a great extent about the Aussie, the English and the New Zealand T20 leagues. Poor (read Rich) Old Allen Stanford’s T20 league is […]

Harbhajan Slaps Sreesanth

Kings XI Punjab vs. Mumbai Indians (April 25, 2008)
There are a lot of incidents in life which one feels should not have happened. Being slapped by a senior in your cricket team is one of the worst. Having played (and still playing) some sort of cricket myself, I can at least try to understand the […]

Afridi had a go at Warnie, Warnie said something like : “Grow up, mate”
Tendulkar’s Birthday had the crowd more excited than their home team Deccan Chargers
Deccan Chargers continued their bad form. Having arguably […]
