Pakistan have still a match to go, but I am not bothered, the Pakistani crowd is not bothered and the ICC is not bothered. Shoaib Malik too. So here I shoot and do a preview thing for the final of the cup. Since my new year in business school begins on Monday, I will ape […]

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.
Somebody asked me this.
Thanks

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 […]

While watching the India v Pakistan match, I was wondering about the attitude of the Pakistan Players. They looked as it they are on a walk in a park in downtown Karachi. Super Laid Back, smiling, chatting with their IPL teammates et al. It was as if they were just chilling as they knew […]

Why am I even reporting this! Of course India won. I would like to re-brand the term - “meek surrender” to “Bangladesh Cricket Team”. They seem to have mastered the art of starting to believe that they can win the match and then losing it halfway into the match.
Positives for India : Gautam Gambhir was […]

I missed it in my review of yesterday’s match, but this is something to treasure. I know there was a lot of luck and reflexes involved, but the output was beautiful. Yeah, beautiful is the word to describe.

MS Dhoni and his men in blue thrashed Pakistan by 140 runs in the second ODI of the tri-nation Kitply Cup. This also ended Pakistan’s 12 game winning streak which consisted of 5 games against Bangladesh.
End of winning streak
The amazing fact was that India did not let Pakistan be in top at any […]

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.
I wanted to write […]
