More Conflicting Tongue-Wagging on Clarke

 
Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
It’s official. Michael Clarke has become an issue of national importance for the Australian media. The players just don’t want to stop debating over him.

The best way to do this would be to elevate him to the vice-captaincy in all forms of the game.
–Shane Warne
I don’t necessarily agree with [Warne],” […]

Why care about the Indian Oil Cup? (and some secret stuff…)

Pakistan skipper Malik feels that their win in the 5th ODI has “balanced” both the teams and raised his team’s confidence big time. We’ll know soon that he’s highly mistaken.
India called in the reserve bench on ocassion of the last trivial

The BCCI cracks down on Six and Out. Net

I must be the next one in line after Vengasarkar and Shahrukh Khan. I have slammed them for their pathetic pitches time and again, I have debated over their selections, played accomplice to their other critters, and done loads of other things that can humiliate and agitate the forces that be at the BCCI.
I have […]

I don’t like blabbermouths…

I really don’t. Especially when they don’t know what they are saying. When they shouldn’t be saying it. When they don’t have the right to say it. When they are simply saying it to get some cheap publicity. Like a Basit Ali did.
Malik’s learning, but as I stated on Ottayan’s blog, this series is from […]

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 […]

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 […]

Dhoni and his new hair cut–what’s the inside dish?

Uncle J’s love for Dhoni (his locks, especially) is known to everyone on the blogosphere. Since Dhoni chopped his hair to get a more boy-next-door look, Uncle J has been desperate to know why. Why oh why?
To be honest, I don’t know. I am not one to fan rumors, but some say this has […]

We are fine with both cricket and baseball. Any probs, Mr. Tharoor?

Prologue:
I was going to review Warney’s autobiography and boy, was I glad to present my recent epiphanies about the leggie, but what the heck, something spoiled my mood. And here you have a rant.
————————————————————————————————————
For starters, Shashi Tharoor is a former under secretary […]

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.
* The force behind Cricket and All That is surely left-brained. Who wants a really analytical, scrupulous explanation on why India lost […]
