Happy Diwali everyone and good reads!

Wish you all a very happy Diwali. I will be back post-Kotla... Not that I'm going anywhere but shutting down for the holidays. On the cricketing action, the Stanford's are on and I don't think I will be able to watch it. The bigger fireworks should come in the Kotla test. Questions remain on who will light the bomb for the respective sides. Do cover all the sporting action from our blogging network. A lot of characters are in there. Speaking of characters, you ought to check out the ...

Vettori da man

As unassuming it may seem, there has been a good contest between New Zealand and Bangladesh starting from the one day internationals where Bangladesh won a match to a good spirited fight in the test series.

In response, Bangladesh set up a young new team and the ICL had also something to cheer about with their first centurion coming from amon...

Australia trashed, lost and strung-out

Day 5 and there was no Alexi Laiho doing a swan song for Australia with a draw.  Zaheer mopped them up in pretty quick time. Johnson might have done a 'dizzy' but couldn't.

So un-Australian. Hell, even in that Perth...

Open season

In all the hurry and blurry lines of cricket played here (India-Aus, ICL) and abroad, let's not forget that a possibly exciting domestic season is underway. Do catch all the action on Soulberry's 'The cricket watchers journal' and his dedicated Indian domestic cricket blog 'The Ranji trophy Chronicles'. And Yes, Soulberry is Riddick - an alien, in case none of you didn't know. Also now that you have teams like red, green and blue... how about a toss being the case where the winning capt...

Sreesanth and his girlfriend… you got to be kidding me

Come monday and the first mail I get is a forward titled 'Sreesanth and his girlfriend'. And it turned out to be something more worse... Quite possibly not his girlfriend but some small time Indian actress in a photoshoot for a film with him! Sreesanth starring in a film? Sreesanth starring in a film!... I wonder what fever he will get when the villian slaps him all over again. Or perhaps, we should leave that to the fans. Anyway, enjoy some very badly shot pictures... source: Mathrubhoomi...
