Six and Out - Some Serious Cricket

IPL Buzz : Some things I noticed

This is Important. The following are the developments which have taken place in the Indian Premier League from 24th April to 2nd May, 2008:

Sachin Tendulkar is still not playing
Shaun Marsh is a great find, but I think its too early to tell
MS Dhoni can lose in T20 (Aussies too would agree)
No Team […]

SRK Gifts, Rajasthan Wins, Ganguly Cheats!

Just watched the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals match on telly. A few things prior to the match came to my attention. Since the owner of the Kolkata team has gifted each player a new laptop, the Knight Riders have never won. Some coincidence. I hope Vijay Mallaya (liquor baron, owner of the Bangalore […]

Texan Billionaire gets spending, wants to run Cricket’s EPL

Sir Allen Stanford, the Texan billionaire who has proposed a US$20 million winner-takes-all contest between England and a West Indies XI, could be prepared to bankroll an English version of the Indian Premier League, but only if the England & Wales Cricket Board can guarantee him a return on his investment.
Sounds good. Would be great […]

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 […]

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.
So, while I “bhangra” like Bhajji, […]

Friday Special: Heroes of the Week

This week two players have made it to the Friday Special feature.
Yuvraj Singh
The six straight sixes he hit has sealed his name in the Indian cricket history. And he can also keep the fastest fifty record to himself for a while.

Brett Lee
Wow, Brett “Brute” Lee is back. I think we need to […]

Never underestimate the power of the kiss of death

Twenty20 finals day, Edgbaston

Well, first things first, I, and just about anyone else talking about it, got the predictions completely wrong. Now, I’m not so full of it so as to think it was my kiss of death that did for Lancashire and Sussex, but a combined effort from the entire cricketing media (moreorless), was […]

Twenty20 finals today

One of the most exciting days in the cricket calendar has arrived: Twenty20 finals day. 3 games of Twenty20 in a single day (the 2 semi-finals and then the final) always proves to be an entertaining day for the Edgbaston crowd. Things kick off with Lancashire and Gloucestershire, followed by Kent and Sussex. The final […]

Englindies / Westingland

Two Twenty20’s and two one day Internationals down and… scores are level. England and the West Indies are so evenly matched that there’s very little to separate them. And that’s not saying we’ve had four tense and exciting games - quite the opposite, in fact. Rather, we’ve been treated to four very one sided affairs, […]

Collingwood: one day captain

After Vaughan quit as captain of the one day side, all eyes were on who would be named as captain. Speculation was spot on as it was eventually given to Paul Collingwood. Irony abounds, considering that Collingwood was the most-oft picked player for the chop during England’s recent “down-time”. Fortunately, the crazy men have seen […]
