Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
This is a good co-incidence. Two Indian teams have made it to finals of two major tournaments. Doesn’t happen very often.
The juniors beat New Zealand by 3 wickets in a rain-interrupted match.
What’s more exciting to you? The Commonwealth Bank Final or the U-19? For some odd reason, CB final has […]

Young Cricket and Papua New Guinea

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
When I am writing this, there are about five international cricket tournaments being played at different corners of the globe, including a World Cup. Needless to say, there’s more cricket happening than we can keep track of. CB Series and NZ-England have had their share of fame, but now I’d […]
