On the right side

For once, I find myself on the same side as Javed Miandad.
It's time for BCCI to shrug off its monopolistic tendencies.

Origins of Cricket

I always thought the Brits introduced this game to the world, but this is a little over the top for me even as a die-hard fan of the game.

May be The Vatican will send a team to the next ICC event!

The disappointment...

Was up all of last night, with a Sam Adams hefe and a sandwich to fuel it...And they (do I say we?) lost again..So much so that my 11 year old cousin didn't feel like celebrating his b'day. So much for hope...and yet the flicker is undiminished...

Choked...

Yes, this is about cricket, and about South Africa. Here they go again. The sequence is so close to the epic '99 semis that it's hard to believe. Two boundaries and a runout! I feel for the South African cricket fan. And yes, a certain player on the sidelines may not be in contention, but he is doing his bit.
