And I mean it.
Some may not be ready to hail Brett Lee as Australia’s new “spearhead” yet, but he’s cut through the Sri Lankan innings like a torpedo, ripping apart 4 wickets, putting SL on the backfoot completely.
Off the field, he’s signed a deal to compose the World Cup 2011 theme song. Don’t forget: he’s […]

Sachin Tendulkar has refused to captain India’s Test side for reasons that are unknown to mortals as of yet. Most self-claimed cricket experts (my dad included) are of view that Tendulkar simply lacks executive intelligence-the kind that is needed to lead an international team. He’s no match to Ponting, Waugh, and the like, of course.
Let’s […]

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.

Kumar literally means king in my mother tongue. Kumar Sangakkara, who leads the sledging poll, sure deserves the title in those scheme of things.
But seems to be in trouble at the moment. Hamstring. Bad omen.
I couldn’t help give this pic “an emotional touch.”, even when I know I can be sued for copyright violation.

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 […]

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. […]

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. […]

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 […]

It gives me really bad vibes when good players start performing, well, badly, especially after some good show. James Anderson, we saw, did a brilliant job of keeping the opponents (uh, Indians) on toes on the recent test series. He was judged Man-of-the-Series, along with Zaheer Khan, for taking 14 wickets (that is coming off […]

This space is meant for honoring the players who do well and bring good to the sport, but I am in no mood for honoring today, that’s fer sure.
Hero Turned Loser # 1 Andrew Symonds aka Roy:
The guy with the brown (or is it golden, or golden+brown, you better judge) streaks is one of the […]
