Mendis magic defeats India in Asia Cup Final

So, Why Neil Harvey? Is it because cricket blogs were better in his day? Maybe. Lets see what I can dig up about him.

Dedication of the month : July 2008 : Neil Harvey

Looks cool and all. I am expecting a cracker of a match. But then I was expecting Ishant to take 5 every game. My favorites to win this final would be India. Why? Well, cos I am an Indian, and no one wants their team to lose in a final. And also the fact that there exists something known as the law of averages. Would try to cover the match as it happens this time.

P.S. If you are wondering how MS Goni is a potential Murderer, this one is for you. Ankit’s Believe or not!

India v Sri Lanka – Asia Cup Final Preview

The BCCI is unlikely to support any stringent action against Zimbabwe at the ICC’s annual meeting in Dubai next week, a top Indian board official has indicated.

This is regarding expulsion of the Zimbabwe cricket team. The Indian Cricket Setup has been known for ages as the perennial peer-helpers. The Indian Cricket Team toured Sri Lanka, South Africa and Bangladesh when they started or restarted their test journey.

So now, when the entire world (read England and South Africa) wants Zimbabwe to be kicked out of the ICC because they have a dictator who means no good (according to England and South Africa) to the world and to his own countrymen, India has taken the higher moral ground conveying that it is not the fault of the budding Taibus and Mazakadzas of the world that they are ruled by a dictator. India has also tried to convey that all teams needing practice are too bored of the ever confident Bangladesh.

India to back Zimbabwe

Some hope for West Indies Cricket, apart from Chrab of course.

Talking about chrab, his leadership skills have been praised by many, and his batting, well, he has averaged about 75 over the past two seasons in test cricket, the entire dough is more cleverly pointed out by my friend here.

Xavier Marshall : Where did he come from?

The story pans out as this: First MS Goni fell in love. He was a nobody then (read Indian Domestic Cricketer), with little hope for the future (some might disagree). His parents did not approve of the girl, and they still were providing for his meals. He was pissed. Then IPL happened. He got cash, and got married against their wishes (yeah, that’s still a rarity in India). Well, why don’t I show everything using some technology, as the news guys do these days.

The entire thing looks fishy and all. I am not sure of the truth. The only evidence I have is the interview his mom gave on TV. Lets see how this pans out, what Goni’s reaction is and all. And yeah, what BCCI’s reaction is. What Modi’s reaction is. What Jrod’s reaction is. Like heck I give a damn about any of the above. If you are wondering why I have put Mr Ashraf’s (Pakistan Cricket Boss) photo on the top. COS I WANNA KNOW HIS REACTION WOULD BE. That’s what I care about.

Is MS Goni a potential murderer?

Suppose a right handed batsman is switch hitting (a bowler faster than Scott Retirees), he becomes a left handed batsman, and I do no have a problem with that! What I have a problem is, the batting gloves. Anyone who has played cricket knows that the bottom hand (right) thumb has padding while the top hand thumb doesn’t. So, when the guy switches, he is a left handed batsman with no padding on his bottom hand. If the ball hits his thumb, he is so fulton-ed.

This should be a concern, or maybe everyone is not as mad as KP.

Switch Hitting is fine, but I have a problem

Long live test cricket. Amen
