For the first time in life, I have not followed Cricket. Mumbai scars will never ever fade away. After talking to my friend over the phone last night, I was then aware of what was going on as he mentioned Sehwag’s outrage. Today morning, after a long break from Cricket, I opened up the browser to see that Sachin’s century has won a game for India. Nothing, nothing in this world would have made me feel consoled, be it my…
Dear Dada, We miss you, we will forever cherish all those wonderful Cricketing moments that you let us enjoy and salute you for the service you’ve done for the country. Regards.. Sourav Chandidas Ganguly, famously described by his fellow team mate another legend of Cricket as the “God on off-side” has played his last international Cricket match yesterday, on a winning note. The man who has changed the land space of Indian Cricket filling it with fervor and fire and…
Anil Kumble has retired from International Cricket. This was the head-lines in most of the media yesterday bidding adieu to the great service person of Cricket as a sport and a tire-less fighter who served his country in this sport like a silent King. Kumble by any means was more than a match winner for India. He was the hope and the torch bearer for most of his career and had the greatest audacity on the field and off the…
Counting days between cricket matches has become my hobby, a special mention of India and Australia on either side can only add desperation. Now that the counting mode has shifted to few hours, a battle between the titans of Test Cricket is shortly underway. I do not care the result as my best guess always favors India, relentlessly in a stronger orthodox style. Everyone loves to see a champion fall hard, more so when the opponent is our own team,…
Let me tell you something up front, this article is not about History or Chanakya in particular. Its just that we are turning a leaf of that great genius and quoting it here. When Chandragupta was young and being trained by Chanakya, on their way a thorn was stuck in Chanakya’s leg. Being a person who does not loose any opportunity to teach Chanakya, he quickly grabbed the pinching thorn by his hand out of his leg and did not…
Let me first congratulate Sachin Tendulkar for crossing the mile stone that another great man had set; highest Test runs in the history of Cricket. I did not watch every ball he played (I live on the other side of the ocean(s) and had to forgo my sleep for a while) but what ever I could, it was nothing less than a masterpiece. Adding more music to my ears was Ganguly batting with him on the other end. They were…
Soon after the announcement of the team to Australian Series, I was ecstasic about watching high quality cricketing season, with much enthusiasm and a great spirit. The impotent Australian Cricket Team (along with Umpires) has seriously let down everything that Cricket stood for this century in drain. Ponting is more interested in revenge, cheating, abuse, anger, deceit than the true spirit of Cricket. Today in history of Cricket, he will forever be written in bold blood letters as the most…
Just one WIN was all the difference between tieing the series and loosing it. It may sound funny to compare India and Australia as teams, but in reality the difference in not a whole lot. Before jumping to any conclusions, think of realities and the truth. While our batsmen face the best in the world bowling, Australians face may be the worst in the game. Sreesanth is best suited to be a Marine. Given a machine gun, he can spread…
I beleive this would be one of those posts most people would dis-agree. When truth is sidelined, ego dominates the decision and a conclusion arrives, rather tamingly from a human’s heart. Cricket is one thing most Indians can eat, walk, drink, live, think and die for. They do more than these, but I felt those cannot be catagorized. But there’s one thing that most of us do, “we don’t support India”, cause all we know is one thing, critisize. Imagine…
