If you don’t have a clue what I am talking about, read this
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 […]

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 […]

Brett Lee says the two teams get on well. Do they, now?
They won’t, after this.

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.

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 […]

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):

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.

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 […]
