ODI cricket: Preserve it as it is!

Last Updated: Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 14:31

I was heart-broken and disappointed…! I knew we were losing it. But when finally Glenn McGrath did the honours for Australia, coaxing Zaheer Khan to get caught by Darren Lehmann, thus dismissing India’s last wicket, I realised that now it was truly the time to reconcile to the fact that it was gone… The dream was shattered! The 2003 World Cup was gone…

England showed how you can win despite odds?

"At 12 minutes to six on a soft late summer evening with glorious sunshine, England regained the Ashes that they had surrendered so abjectly in Australia three winters ago. It had been a hard slog" - Mike Selvey wrote in his column in the Guardian after England surprised cricket fans by managing to betray statistics and lift the cup.

Incompetent Chaos Creator- 2

Of the hundred years that the International Cricket Council has completed of its existence, if they have spent more than three-fourths of it in prolongation of the theory of ‘The White Man’s burden’ (even if unwittingly), then the tables have turned in at least the last decade and a half as they have been toeing the line of the cash-rich (and therefore highly influential) Asian lobby.

Once again the BCCI and the ICC are at loggerheads! This time too, the Indian Cricket Board showed no apprehensions in ridiculing the apex body’s rules.

Can Ganguly do a Gilchrist?

It seems that unpredictability or uncertainty is the way God has paved for Sourav Ganguly. Just when it looked that Ganguly had no chance of making a comeback, he surprised one and all with an astounding round of achievements. He has done it in the past, both as a cricketer and as a captain, while donning the Indian colours. And now, he is poised to get another chance of reviving his fortune along with the beleaguered Kolkata Knight Riders in the third edition of Indian Premier League.

To have a 'Cricketer' for a dad

Last Updated: Tuesday, July 14, 2009, 17:33

To have a 'Cricketer' for a dad in a cricket frenzied nation<br/> <br/>This isn't a forced or rather a late Father's Day ode to my sweet daddy, for I don't need acceptance of this world about my feelings for my creator. This isn't even a teary eyed and choking (non required) description of what all 'Pa' has done for me when, where, how, why and what he means to me, but this is a plain and simple write up about having a daddy, different from others, not by choice but purely by chance.

England’s bowling nemesis Glenn McGrath may be retired but he’s still playing an active role in plotting the downfall of Andrew Strauss’ side. According to Siddle, Australia have worked hard on reverse swing in their warm-up games. Peter Siddle, the Australian bowler, is blogging weekly for thewisdencricketer.com throughout the Ashes.

Masala tea…umm…Masala cricket

I do not exactly remember how and when was the first time that I tried a cup of masala tea, but it has definitely been a few years.

Why rest if not overworked?

India’s performance in the T20 World Cup in England this year has been no less than a tragic story out of the classic books. Different people came up with different reasons for the failure. The difference in opinion varied so much that even the captain and the coach of the same team refused to narrow down to a mutual rationale.

Don’t blame Dhoni’s boys…it was all my fault!

We can’t lose to England! I mean… it’s Twenty20, and aren’t we the World Champions. Two years since Yuvraj walloped Stuart Broad for six sixes in an over on a cold Durban night, the southpaw had single-handedly vanquished the entire English side more than once. Hailed as The Rockstars of Cricket, from Dhoni to Raina, Gambhir to Rohit, each a stalwart in himself…more than capable of putting it across England on their own. And then, our bowling attack….its the best in the world, people say.
