Asia Cup 2008 : India thrash Pakistan….again

This is turning out to be something we have to get used to now. Barring an odd defeat in an odd final, India seems to have got the better of Pakistan these days. Anyway, this match wasn’t that boring for me not to report it, though it could have been better.
It all began in an […]

Kitply Cup : Pakistan defeat Bangladesh

As if this post was necessary. As if I haven’t told all of you that Bangladesh should be given some time before they are sent to top flight cricket. But no one would listen. Yet another loss. And that too against the biggest give-hope-to minnows team in the world - Pakistan.
I wanted to write […]

Indian Team announced for Bangladesh Tri-Series

The tri series features Pakistan, India and Bangladesh. Yusuf Pathan and Pragyan Ojha are in the team from the IPL quota. Most of the players should get a look in against Bangladesh at least.

Pakistan Premier League

I caught this interesting peace of news on the web yesterday. Having seen the massive interest which the Indian Premier League has generated, The Pakistan Cricket Board is seriously contemplating a similar tournament in Pakistan.
The business community in Pakistan is pretty keen on this idea. In an interview which the PCB Chief Naseem Ashraf, […]

Why do Bangladesh play cricket?

Fire away!

It can’t better than this– for Harbhajan.

So, as I had been howling at the forums, it’s gonna be an Indo-Pak grand finale. No one believed me. “India’s chances are slim, boy.” “They can’t get past the Aussies.” “Heck, NZ might just kick Pak out, then?”
Everything, so far, has happened as I had wanted it to.
