India to back Zimbabwe

This is regarding expulsion of the Zimbabwe cricket team. The Indian Cricket Setup has been known for ages as the perennial peer-helpers. The Indian Cricket Team toured Sri […]

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 […]

T20 Format: Lesser Sides’ Feast?

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket
After India’s T20 championship victory, Andrew Symonds said something along the lines of T20 being a format where “the lesser sides can beat you easily”. Of course, Australia lost to Zimbabwe and then India, the two lesser sides he was referring to.

India has since kept Australia on toes in T20, […]

Pic of the Day…

Kaneria’s physiognomy reminds me of one of my botany profs (you know who you are!) who appears to be always grinning.
I will leave it up to you guys to caption this one.

England don’t fail to disappoint

Ah well. Hopeless optimism. It’s a skill and a facet of any England supporter. You have to believe. You have to want it. You have to think, that despite everything going against, that England could still prevail. You know that it’s not likely to happen, but there’s always a glimmer of hope. The latest World […]

Big teams key England in

England are, remarkably, not down and out of this World Cup just yet. Despite playing mediocre cricket and failing to beat a decent test side, they are still in a position where virtually one match separates them from a place in the semi-finals.

Down with a Bang

I’m not so sure that any of the people involved with the Bangladeshi squad read this site, but either way, Bangladesh have done a spectacular job in making me look very silly.

Results from the Big Test

Well the results are in from the Big Test: early indications are, it’s business as usual. But the scores don’t tell the whole story, in one of the games at least. Australia made no mistakes in defeating the West Indies, despite needing two days to do it due to heavy rain after Matt Hayden smashed […]
