Its Official : Harbhajan Singh Banned for 5 ODIs

If you don’t have a clue what I am talking about, read this, and this.
The news is finally out. After the IPL Committee had banned Singh for 11 IPL games, the BCCI has banned him for a total of 5 One Day International matches for India. He has escaped a fine. Considering he has already […]

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 […]

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 […]

Shaun Tait: Young and Exhausted

eat Cricket, sleep Cricket, drink Cricket

After kick-ass performances in the World Cup and succeeding ODI tournaments, Tait is the last man you’d think who could retire. Yes, not an actual retirement, a sabbatical, but this is disheartening nonetheless, especially since he was so good against the New Zealanders.
As per Cricket Australia, Shaun Tait was suffering […]

Kumble and Dravid: Good Times for Good Friends

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
That Anil Kumble would join the league of Warne and Murali, nobody had the slightest hint of five years back. But this chap has really grown on us all– not only with his performance but also his integrity and character.
Not to overlook Rahul Dravid, who with 165 catches is […]

How old are you, Rahul Dravid, India No. 3?

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket

Rahul Dravid is a giant.
He has close to 10, 000 runs in both the versions of the game. That’s a lot of burden for someone aged 35.
Yes, folk, Rahul Dravid just turned 35 on Januay 11th. So here’s wishing him a very happy birthday (belated, of course)
India’s best No. 3, […]

The Prospects’ List is Out

Bring it on. India vs. Australia: The Border-Gavaskar Trophy

 
Pretty predictable list, basically. Only surprise is Sreesanth’s absence.
Yes, he’s unfit, but then RP and Zaheer Khan have been roped in too, despite injuries. Well, so we’ll […]

Why care about the Indian Oil Cup? (and some secret stuff…)

Pakistan skipper Malik feels that their win in the 5th ODI has “balanced” both the teams and raised his team’s confidence big time. We’ll know soon that he’s highly mistaken.
India called in the reserve bench on ocassion of the last trivial

Why Monty looks so happy?

Eat Cricket, Sleep Cricket, Drink Cricket
Monty Panesar, England’s wonder boy, suffered at the hands of former England coach Duncan Fletcher last year, missing some important opportunities, but good times are about to roll in for him. He has coach Peter Moores’ confidence ahead of their three-match Test encounter with Sri Lanka.

As soon Monty […]

I don’t like blabbermouths…

I really don’t. Especially when they don’t know what they are saying. When they shouldn’t be saying it. When they don’t have the right to say it. When they are simply saying it to get some cheap publicity. Like a Basit Ali did.
Malik’s learning, but as I stated on Ottayan’s blog, this series is from […]
