Cricket Trivia 2 (Who Am I?) Answer

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
Sourav Tiwary, a player from Under-19 Cricket World Cup is the correct answer to Cricket Trivia 2. Looks a bit like Mahendra Singh Dhoni. No surprise though: he hails from Jharkhand, Dhoni’s state. In fact, he’s being hailed as Dhoni’s lookalike.
The clue lied in his resemblance to Dhoni, something we […]

A forgettable series (and 10 reasons we’d have to remember it anyway)

So, India has an unbeatable lead in the Indian Oil Cup. 3-1.
While the media is surely going to go gaga over it, I’ll admit we aren’t faking any joy over or interest in it. That we are actually discussing genetics at school these days should be a clue to how much interested we really are […]

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

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

That’s what you get when you win…

Thanks be to the forces that be! The first ODI between India and Australia was called off due to rain. I don’t think India would have reached 307 in anyway — given their history in chasing.
But I am writing this post to actually give you a glimpse of the grand welcome Dhoni and Boys received […]
