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.

Cricket Discussion forum relaunched

Hello everyone…. hope this post finds you all in good health and cheer.

I was away to Bangalore to watch India’s first rock festival where the likes of Megadeth and Machine head played. Machine head were their usual noisy best and Megadeth stole the show with their technical wizardry and precision… all-in-all a great experience.

I have been out of touch with the cricketing world for sometime and I read the news that England won the test and the Pakistan ICL team is kicking the natives to glory.

And here, just wanted to let you all know that I have relaunched my rather sleepy discussion forum at http://www.cricketfizz.com and would be spending more time there in an effort to perhaps offer a discussion forum better than the likes of 606 etc.

For those of my good blogger friends, who wish to be a moderator and active topic starter, please let me know and I’ll do the needful.

Till then cheers and keep blogging!

India wins the commonwealth series

sorryponting.jpgFinally an exciting match happened and what a match it was… Gripping, tense and good cricket all around. Australia fought fabulously to peg back India to what was turning out to be a huge 300 plus score and India put relentless pressure on the Aussie batting to scrape home. Read more… »

India crowned u19 world champions

87880.jpgCongratulations team India

To be honest, more than the Commonwealth series, the u19 world cup finals was something which I was really looking forward to. India beat South Africa to clinch the championship in a rain affected match. The only sad aspect of this tournament was just like the commonwealth series, there were many matches affected by rain and a true contest was robbed. Read more… »

India takes the first swipe

Take a bowFor what was a long and boring commonwealth series, I was hoping for some exciting brand of cricket being played in the finals and a decent match went by with India quite easily beating the Aussies. Read more… »

A boring commonwealth series

Let’s face it… this series is as boring as “santa barbera” and also as long and no hot babes or good wine. For teams like India and Sri Lanka, it was the test for checking out the new crop as part of the rebuilding process and for the other, a good tour to assess how well their rebuilding process have developed so far.
