a 10 million pound cricket match - England vs Stanford Superstars

All of us know that Allen Stanford has lost it. The rest know that he has some brains. The only one left is me, and I think that this would be fun to watch. Texas Billionaire Allen Stanford, after signing a deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board, has announced that England would play […]

Sachin Tendulkar is still not playing
Shaun Marsh is a great find, but I think its too early to tell

No Team […]

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 : An Update

If you don’t have a clue what I am talking about, read this
The IPL jurisdiction committee sat and decided that Harbhajan should get a 11 match ban from IPL and 100% Match Fees fine. Mind you, this is just the punishment from the IPL committee. The BCCI is planning for more stick as […]

Standard Bank Pro20 : The Titans win it

The South African T20 league, I mean the P20 league has been quite a success at home, but has failed to generate any interest elsewhere, but the same can be said to a great extent about the Aussie, the English and the New Zealand T20 leagues. Poor (read Rich) Old Allen Stanford’s T20 league is […]

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 […]

Experience is what counts, mate!

Watching the IPL fixture between the Deccan Chargers and the Rajasthan Royals tonight, a few things caught my eye. Lets go through them:

Afridi had a go at Warnie, Warnie said something like : “Grow up, mate”
Tendulkar’s Birthday had the crowd more excited than their home team Deccan Chargers
Deccan Chargers continued their bad form. Having arguably […]

Texan Billionaire gets spending, wants to run Cricket’s EPL

Sir Allen Stanford, the Texan billionaire who has proposed a US$20 million winner-takes-all contest between England and a West Indies XI, could be prepared to bankroll an English version of the Indian Premier League, but only if the England & Wales Cricket Board can guarantee him a return on his investment.
Sounds good. Would be great […]

Viru You Little Beauty!

Just watched the Delhi vs Deccan Match. The Deccan Chargers started out slow, but picked up later and reached 142, thanks to a certain Mr Rohit Sharma, about whom I would have loved to talk about now. But alas. Limelight is a very narrow lane. Only one can steal it. It was Virender Sehwag’s night. […]

Firm Beginnings, High Hopes

Having guest blogged here before, the look and the feel of this blog was not new to me. It always inspired me. It was popular! I used to say to myself: “See, This is where you have to end up. Something similar at least!.” Now that I am here, its time to redefine the goals. […]
