Any doubts anybody?

I didn’t see it. Neither did I see the 175* by Kapil Dev during the 1983 World Cup against Zimbabwe after India was tottering at 17 for 4.
And I rate both the misses on the same scale. Missing to watch Ganguly make 98 especially when Krishnamachari Srikkanth described the knock on CNN-IBN as ‘He (Ganguly) was in full flow’ is […]

The recent two-test match ban on Gibbs is an apt illustration of how the cricketing world reacts to racism. The cricket authorities call it zero tolerance.
The spectators were troubling Gibbs’ teammates and he did the right thing as any team-man (especially senior ones) would do by pepping his teammates up with a little language and attitude. In fact I […]

Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes, unarguably, the most successful Indian duo to have graced the Indian tennis scene. They could have been the best ever the sport has seen had they not had a few personal problems. Yet as a team on the court they gave their 100%. The team event at Doha being an […]

If you have just written CAT, then you will be thinking on the lines of arithmetic progression or geometric progression or some such math stuff. Anyway, those blanks will get filled on 3rd December. Get it now?
Except for the first match, we had South Africa in our grip in the last two matches. I think the […]

The injury list before our match against Australia:

Munaf Patel
Ajit Agarkar
Yuvraj Singh

I am not much bothered about Ajit Agarkar, good riddens in fact! But I want both Munaf and Yuvraj to get back into the squad. Neither Kaif nor D. Mongia is a good enough replacement for this talented young chap.
Sreesanth is replacing Agarkar. That’s a […]

“India were defeated by West Indies but not disgraced”, to quote my favourite Mr. Sidhu. We didn’t lose the match when we scored only 223. We didn’t lose the match when Raina dropped Gayle. We didn’t lose the match when R.P.Singh misfielded what should have been a single. We didn’t lose the match when Lara […]

So far…
Yet another dismaying performance from England. After all the talk about Ashes and the build-up to it, they caved in so meekly that you were left wondering if it was an Australia-Zimbabwe match. Now after the NZ-SL and Eng-Aus matches, the average of the teams batting first has come down to 190. Must be […]

Champions’ Trophy has turned out to be an absolute cracker of a tournament. Australia were the hot favourites and South Africa were close second. India and Sri Lanka were considered to be the next in line considering their familiarity with the conditions. Pakistan, New Zealand, England and West Indies were given the least chances in […]

Hair is Crazy
I guess this is ample proof that Darrell Hair is crazy! Offering to quit for USD 500,000. Wonder what the Aus PM John Howard, Steve Waugh and Shane Warne will have to say now. They are nowhere to be heard now!
Woolmer is not entirely straight
Woolmer is supposed to have taught his players how […]
