Look forward to meeting Chacha

Donned in a long green robe, a white fluffy beard cupping his chin, and a crescent resting on his head, Chacha Cricket, traslated from Urdu as Uncle Cricket, is perhaps the game’s craziest fan. He follows the Pakistani cricket team down to every nook of the world (the rumor has it that PCB pays him […]

Poll: Time for the good guys

We’ve had enough of the bad guys. It’s about time we showed some respect to the good guys. Take the poll. Add your choices.
More on this later.

I give a damn - Sreesanth

Latest mouthing from Sreesanth:
I don’t care who the hell is batting against me. The only thing that matters is to run at him, bowl as fast as I can and to try and get him out.
I don’t care whether it is (Andrew) Symonds, (Matthew) Hayden or (Adam) Gilchirst or anybody else, I do not respect […]

I like Roy. I like monkeys. Thankyouverymuch.

The monkey chants issue has been dissected to death by everyone. Every site and blog is talking about it. And people are harping on and on pointlessly. It’s got to the point of annoying me.

We are fine with both cricket and baseball. Any probs, Mr. Tharoor?

Prologue:
I was going to review Warney’s autobiography and boy, was I glad to present my recent epiphanies about the leggie, but what the heck, something spoiled my mood. And here you have a rant.
————————————————————————————————————
For starters, Shashi Tharoor is a former under secretary […]

Green Earth, Green Cricket

Prologue: Irony of Six’s life: Lives in the world’s seventh most polluted city, and the cricket stadium (where she’ll be cheerleading this coming November during India vs. Pak) the city owns is named, well, the Green Park. Sadly, green is the last color you’ll notice there.

Round-up From the Blogosphere

I am all for originality, creativity and kick-assity (Ugh. Night has had its toll on me.)
So here’s a shout-out to all the great cricket stuff being poured into the unobliging oblivion of the blog-universe.
* The force behind Cricket and All That is surely left-brained. Who wants a really analytical, scrupulous explanation on why India lost […]

We’ll miss ya, Inzy.

While I will never appreciate his decision to walk his team off the field at the Oval, I have always had a fair amount of respect for him as a player.
Oh yeah, the fat factor’s always there. Right.
Sadly though, he fell short of Miandad’s record of most test runs by a Pakistani by 3 runs. […]

Sreesanth: The Way Out?

Following some of Sreesanth’s antics in the first two one-dayers, Warney was quoted as saying:
I don’t think anything was over the top, so I think it’s going to add a bit of spice to the summer.
and
Everyone’s going to be looking for Sreesanth to do his stuff and it shows with a bit of passion. […]

It’s the best of times, it’s the worst of times for Harbhajan…

The couplet from A Tale of Two Cities applies to Harbhajan’s current situation extremely well.
Good news: Harbhajan’s 2-wicket haul at the 4th ODI against Oz played a key role in India’s comeback.
Bad new: The old boy will have to incur Jodie aka Snark Goddess’s wrath. I told ya, it never helps to be […]
