The tri series features Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Yusuf Pathan and Pragyan Ojha are in the team from the IPL quota. Most of the players should get a look in against Bangladesh at least.

Ishant Sharma […]

The Real Cricket Begins Now…

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
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):

Move Over Australia (Kenya’s the New King)

A forgettable series (and 10 reasons we’d have to remember it anyway)

So, India has an unbeatable lead in the Indian Oil Cup. 3-1.
While the media is surely going to go gaga over it, I’ll admit we aren’t faking any joy over or interest in it. That we are actually discussing genetics at school these days should be a clue to how much interested we really are […]
