T20 Format: Lesser Sides’ Feast?

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
After India’s T20 championship victory, Andrew Symonds said something along the lines of T20 being a format where “the lesser sides can beat you easily”. Of course, Australia lost to Zimbabwe and then India, the two lesser sides he was referring to.

India has since kept Australia on toes in T20, […]

Round-up From the Blogosphere

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.

Gandhi Played Cricket, Indeed.

It can’t better than this– for Harbhajan.

So, as I had been howling at the forums, it’s gonna be an Indo-Pak grand finale. No one believed me. “India’s chances are slim, boy.” “They can’t get past the Aussies.” “Heck, NZ might just kick Pak out, then?”
