Performers of the IPL

A truck load of matches in the IPL have gone by and due to the length of the format, it is still tough to establish a clear cut team that would probably win the tournament. Such as been the swinging fortunes of this format.

As far as players of the tournament goes, two guys stand out well with their consistent performances. Read more… »

Goodbye Malcolm Speed and thanks for the ruins

Cricket has been hitting new lows in the last six months and the latest of these simmering episodes of rabid power struggles was seen in the unceremonious sacking of the ICC CEO Mr. Malcolm Speed just before the end of his tenure under the pretext of a paid holiday. Speed has been credited in revamping the functioning of the Australian board and for his actions during his tenure in handling the many controversies that erupted as the chief executive for the ICC.

So far so good… Not so for the fringe!

The next set of IPl matches went on with some mixed results on the quality of the cricket played.  Riders wrapped their second win while Laxman felt he was robbed. The Bangalore sloshers actually won a game but then it still required the brilliance of a T20 natural in Mark Boucher to wrap things up… so there is still food for thought on this team that chooses to have Jaffer and the unforgivable Sunil Joshi in it.  Read more… »

The big day came and there was it, full of the promised entertainment, dancing girls, performance artists, savage hungry crowd and fireworks that actually stole the show. What was really annoying was the on-field hosts, TV commentators and everybody associated with the event going forever on an overzealous note of ‘suggestive self-praising’ on the opening entertainment.

A dull series and a South African mauling

89361.jpgThe last test ended with India quite easily romping home after their spinners predictably did what was expected on a dirt track which would easily qualify for Pro-racing or inspire the game developers for Motocross madness. The only positive in that pitch was that a result was definitely on the cards and it would never go on for 5 days. Read more… »

Cheers to Bosey

This has to be the most entertaining blog I have ever come across in quite some time.

Son of Bosey

You can dig deep into the archives to find some amazing posts, which left me in stitches. So folks, cheers to the son of bosey and all the characters and writers of this blog.

A South African thrashing and limping Indians

South Africa thrashed, smashed, raped, gored, mutilated, annihilated (please add in your adjectives in the comments :) ) India in the second test. Hats off to South Africa for playing an absolutely flawless brand of cricket. When the first test match in Chennai ended in a dull draw it was obvious that South Africa clearly looked the better team between the two. Both teams are equally matched but South Africa was putting in the effort. Read more… »

ICC hits a new low… Hair reinstated

darrellhair.jpgIn one of the most disgusting moves forced by the political arm-twisting of Cricket Australia, the ICC has reinstated Darrell Hair back into the elite panel. What is more puzzling is that the ICC has declared that Hair would not officiate in any of the Pakistan team matches, in a view to work some sort of shady compromise, which is now going to further break the rather fragile excuse of a system which is currently in place.
