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 […]

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 […]

Quirky Quip: Harbhajan is an obnoxious weed, says Matty Hayden

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
Brett Lee says the two teams get on well. Do they, now?
They won’t, after this.
Matty Hayden has called Harbhajan Singh an obnoxious little weed. We’re no Harbhajan supporters, but then we don’t like obnoxious gardening metaphors much, too.

Harbhajan Singh is (Not Quite) Brave.

I don’t mind when people boo me. The more they do it, the more I’m going to play hard. Actually, it gives me pleasure that everyone knows me at the ground. It inspires me to do well.

That’s very brave of you, Haar-bhajan. Booing inspires you to do […]

What Cricket Can Learn From Tennis?

So the Australian Open finished off with the results I had predicted in this post. Masha, aka, Maria Sharapova sailed through to the trophy. As I said, nobody in the tournament weiled the kind of power she did, and on the men’s side, Djoker, aka, Novak Djokovic, got the better of suprise finalist Tsonga. We […]

The Real Cricket Begins Now…

eat Cricket, drink Cricket, sleep Cricket
Not much happened in the Commonwealth Bank Series start-up match, but surprisingly, we’ve quite a few things to chirp about it.
Three Moments of the Match (in ascending order):
* Sachin’s dismissal: Hit wicket is a rare form of dismissal, and it was Sachin’s first, so that makes it quite special. The […]

Coins, Cricket, and Conspiracy

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
News is that umpire Steve Bucknor won’t officiate at Perth, which means Billy Bowden will be replacing him. And there’s another news that Harbhajan Singh’s ban has been suspended following BCCI’s appeal against the same, which means he can play the rest of the matches. Of course, the team […]

Breaking News: BG Trophy in Danger

Eat Cricket, Sleep Cricket, Drink Cricket

This is the first thing I read on logging in.
BCCI has asked the Indian team to stay in Sydney until the Harbhajan hearing, rather than travel to Perth for the the third test.

Caste Apart: Australian Media’s Soft Journalism

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket

Journalists are quite fond of finding new angles to old, beaten-to-death topics. These so-called slants come in handy when you’ve few important things to report, or to be very, very concise, your team is slipping off the pedestal.
Andrew Stevenson, Sydney Morning Herald correspondent, alleges, based on his research from secondary […]

Before you call someone a chucker…

I never understood why I didn’t like talking about chucking. Now I’m seeing some daylight. I figure it’s because of how close a resemblance the word chucking bears to the f-word. Anyway, let’s get to the point.

Daniel Vettori called Shaun Tait a chucker, and this gave everyone something to talk about. I find it funny […]
