Around the (cricket) world in 10 seconds

Eat Cricket, Drink Cricket, Sleep Cricket

If you’ve had a topsy-turvy schedule like me, you probably don’t know what’s happening in the world of cricket. And you’ve missed all the action. But don’t worry, that’s what the round-ups are for.

The Sehwag Ouster: Virendar Sehwag, India’s only triple centurion, has been kicked outta door. This is a big blow to all us Veeru fans. Go rant and cry for justice.

Irfan Pathan does an Einstein act after pulling through his maiden test ton in style (Getty Images)India v. Pak: I’ve only watched the afternoon session today, mainly because it’s Sunday (and that’s good excuse for procrastination). The only thing I observed was that the pitch was pathetically slow, and the ball wasn’t coming on to the bat on most occasions, and that Ishant Sharma is having a bit of a problem with his line and maybe also run-up. Someone said there’s nothing in this match for a bowler. Well, actually there is. Irfan Pathan cracked out a ton. See? For more, I went straight to Sam (again) and Tcwj.

My favorite reads are the rants kind, because I do them so very often myself. Anyway, at Cricket with balls, they are telling us why South Africa stinks. That’s a dahling topic with them. After Gary Kirsten’s appointment as captain, I’ve suddenly started taking interest in these sort of discussions big time.

I’ve yet to discover a good English cricket blog, so to feed my curiosity on SL-Eng, I’d usually hop to Cricket Next. Stuart Broad made his much-awaited test debut. Someone out there must be very happy. Oh, just Stuart Broad, Stuey as we call himfigured that would be me.

Chris Cairns crafted a record 50 in an ICL match. Things like this sometimes make me want to follow ICL.

Ottayan, as we know has insider info on all things cricket and always beats us all to it, while Pankaj, aka Pan, is my friend because he likes Murali.

Now who managed to finish reading this in just 10 seconds?

  1. Cheers for this!

    No unfortunately it took me longer than 10 seconds! This blog is great though, as I have not had chance to catch up on much over the weekend.

    Yeah it was good to see Broad making his debut. I reckon he could become a big player for England. He won the Young Cricketer prize for 2006, the same one buy the likes of Freddie Flintoff and Ian Bell.
