England vs New Zealand - 3rd Test - Trent Bridge, Nottingham - Day 1

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 […]

Australia beat West Indies

West Indies v Australia, 1st Test, Jamaica, 5th day
It was a fighting match. Just that the West Indies were fighting as soon as Ponting made 150 on the first day. In the end, needing 240 odd to win on the last day, they succumbed to the accuracy of Stuart Clark, Brett Lee and Stuart […]

Ricky Ponting Sizzles as West Indies go through the motions

West Indies vs Australia - 1st Test - May 22-26 2008
Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica

Sometimes the mind says : TOO MUCH IPL! But mate, it never is enough, when it comes to pleasures of life. But not in this post. I would try my best!
If you are a Kolkata Knight Rider fan, you would have a […]

England vs New Zealand - First Test at Lords - Day 1

Being a cricket blogger, you HAVE to give precedence to International Cricket. Which is becoming quite a cumbersome process as the IPL can’t have enough of me. But as Mr Adams would say:
Ain’t no use in ComplainingWhen You Got a Job to do!

So let me shoot away. I did see a lot of the first […]

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 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 […]

Buchanan Has a Dream…

One of the advantages of being a successful professional is that people listen in on your ideas, good or bad.
John Buchanan, Australia’s passing coach, has a brand new idea to transform world cricket.

Lee is in the Air

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 […]

The Day of the Underdog

Kris Srikkanth and my dad are more than happy. Their deepest wish has come true.

BCCI, in a hasty attempt to resolve the captaincy crisis following Tendulkar’s refusal, have passed on the hat to Kumble. They had several options beside Kumble: Dhoni, Laxman, and Ganguly. Not going for Ganguly and Laxman is understandable, but they must […]

Tendulkar says “nah”; the captaincy drama continues

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 […]
