Yeah, you saw that right. From this post on, every month six and out would dedicate the month to some cricketer who I feel strongly about. Throughout the month, I would garner facts and trivia about the person. Should be fun.

Cricinfo Said:

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 …read more

Was busy with my exams those days, so my switch hitting post is here. Its all right about it being not-illegal and not-legal and all that thing, but the question I have is :
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 …read more

Yes, you heard that right. Live scores, right at your very own six and out. Courtsey Cricinfo. Look for the vertical bar somwhere on the right.
Long live test cricket. Amen

India completed yet another professional match in their Professional Match winning streak by completely routing Bangladesh in the first match of the super 4s in the ongoing Asia Cup 2008 in Karachi, Pakistan.
When Bangladesh began well, about 60/1 in 10 overs (much better than Pakistan), MSD decided to let them score as many as they could, as Raina was there to get it (no Sehwag in this match). The Bangladeshis swelled with pride after getting 283 in their alloted overs, with Ian Chappel even going on to say strange things (it runs in the family), knowing little that the Indians …read more

First of all, I am really sorry, for not posting for a week. The reasons were beyond my control. Being a student, exams are unavoidable. So, a lot seems to have happened in my absence, the least being the critics’ scribbles on the Beau Casson post. All I have to say to that is that I may have got carried away, and he may be good. So, this is an apology, respecting the views of my readers
 
I will be back with more cricket. Keep Refreshing.

All of us know that Allen Stanford has lost it. The rest know that he has some brains. The only one left is me, and I think that this would be fun to watch. Texas Billionaire Allen Stanford, after signing a deal with the England and Wales Cricket Board, has announced that England would play an all star team from his Stanford Twenty20 competition and the winner would be richer by 10 million pounds. If you ask what I think of the money, I would say that “well, its huge, too much I reckon. Give me some of it and …read more

As if this post was necessary. As if I haven’t told all of you that Bangladesh should be given some time before they are sent to top flight cricket. But no one would listen. Yet another loss. And that too against the biggest give-hope-to minnows team in the world – Pakistan.
I wanted to write that Bangladesh bowled well; but no : most of the wickets were due to careless batting.
I wanted to write that Salman Butt played well for his 70 in this curtailed (40 Over) match; but no, the bowling wasn’t that good.
The situation was summed up really …read more
