This guy can thwack the ball real hard. Being really really short and stubborn, this guy charges a full speed Brett Lee delivery and makes contact on a regular basis. It still is early days for him, but what I see is good, as he read the slower ball too.
Some hope for West Indies Cricket, […]

An Ordinary Aussie! :o
I know Mr Casson Sr would have a hard time reading this, but its cool. I feel credit must be given where credit is due. I know all of you don’t want to read a lot about Beau, so I will keep it short.
There was a reason why I kept hyping Casson […]

It is really rare to see Shivnaraine Chandrapaul (I am sorry if I goofed with the spelling) and Sewnaraine Chattergoon (i don’t care here) play in the same team. Though it would be really amazing if they played for different teams. NOT!
At lunch, the match is precariously poised. West Indies are at 89/3 with the […]

When I feel that a test match could become interesting, I normally keep a tab on all the factors affecting the match. Weather is one of the most important factors affecting a match.
I Bring to you : Georgetown Weather. Everyone stand up and clap
A tropical wave is affecting the island.
Generally cloudy to overcast with […]

I am so feeling I told you so right now. But not quite. 300 is still gettable. The Aussies reached 226/7 at the end of day 1. It could have been more, but it rained, and then it rained again. Symonds played his restrained-affluent best ad scored 67.
Beau Casson is in! This has been the […]

I was criticized a lot for not paying attention to the first two tests in this series. I am more than making up for it by reporting about almost every session in this test, and this has nothing to do with my love for Beau Casson, like hell I don’t even know who he is.

There is something about the cricket in the Caribbean, you don’t know whether its happening or not. Some people say that the World Cup is still on there with fat dudes playing and talking diving catches at first slip.
Here are a few stories coming from the land where the world cup is always on:
Brett Lee […]

England win by an innings and 9 runs. New Zealand were rendered helpless and found wanting on the fourth day of the Third Test. We had earlier reported how KP saved England on the first day! Maybe that proved to be the catalyst for a really inspired performance by the Poms.
Making 364 in the […]

Kevin Pietersen has been oft criticized for being too irrational and inconsistent! But not today. He was rational and scored 115. While a few of my friends are mulling over the IPL, i thought it was time to move on in life. Everything you love might go away, but this one will come back.
Back to […]
