Now this one is inspired by Uncle J Rod’s list of narcotics anonymous, but the fact remains and some research has been done by me.
This is what wikipedia has to say:
Drug Possession
Lalit Modi was charged and pleaded guilty to drug possession, assault and kidnapping case in 1985 while he was a student in Duke University, USA. He was sentenced to 2 years in prison and came back to India after being released on probation.
In 2007 a PIL was filed in Mumbai High court challenging his position in BCCI on pretext of his criminal history. Though the court refused to unseat …read more

Recently, cricketbuzz, a cricket blog compiled a list of Top 53 Cricket Blogs on the Web. Not surprisingly, sixandout got a mention. Kidding of course. We are delighted. We as in the royal third person of course. To say it in HUMAN, “I am delighted!”
Prominent bloggers (check our blog roll) also got a mention. Uncle J too! Still trying to figure out the meaning of “thems the rules, Uncle!”
here is a screenshot  for my keepsake:

Anyways, has been a long weekend. The IPL seems to be entering the business zone (not the money). Shoaib Akhtar is still not playing, but so …read more

Growing up with Cricket
The love for any sport has to begin somewhere. For me, the love of cricket began when I was 9. Too late, some of you might quip. But there is nothing you can do to change facts. To make it more interesting, I played cricket even before I watched it for the first time, and it had nothing to do with India’s technological backwardness then (I am just 20 now).
One memory which I have strongly etched in my mind is that of the rains. Aarghh! RAINS! Damn Rains! If ever there was something which could stop a …read more

Starting this post, sixandout would dwell a little bit into the owners of the IPL Franchises.
We start with Mr. Shah Rukh Khan, the owner of the Kolkata Knight Riders. Apart from owning the IPL Team, SRK is arguably the biggest star of the Indian Film Industry.
In India, he is referred to as King Khan, and for reasons which are not fallacious at all. This guy has got this charisma, this ‘People’ thing. He knows how to catch the pulse of the audience. Be it coming to the Knight Rider matches and hugging each player to dancing and jumping in …read more

The IPL jurisdiction committee sat and decided that Harbhajan should get a 11 match ban from IPL and 100% Match Fees fine. Mind you, this is just the punishment from the IPL committee. The BCCI is planning for more stick as it has appointed an independent (LOL) committee.
Some journalists feel that BCCI is trying to make an example out of him, trying to make him the RIO FERDINAND of cricket.
Sreesanth too has got a reprimand for being a crybaby. Mr Lalchand Rajput, the manager of MUMBAI …read more

As a cricket blogger, it’s my obligation to go around the Internet and look for ideas and implementations which impress me. A cricket quiz certainly does. All these years, I was waiting for a cricket quiz which won’t either be too easy (How many centuries has Sachin scored?), or be too tough (Who sold Bradman’s car?). Most of all, I was waiting for a cricket quiz which aims more at letting you know more : It allows for googling of answers.
The …read more

This is one of the few things that is hard to digest. Adam Gilchrist is going to speak at the India Today Conclave. His topic is ‘It’s Not Cricket’. According to their latest press release, there’s also going to be Peter Roebuck, the famous cricket writer, on their board.
Basically, this is a seminar organized by India Today magazine where they discuss India’s achievements in the past year and how India needs to improve, etc. What Peter Roebuck and Adam Gilchrist have to offer toward India’s development is beyond my understanding.
A ticket costs like Rs. …read more

No, we aren’t talking about the Billionaire List.
It’s the list of greatest athletic achievements in the last 150 years that has rubbed us the wrong way. Now, isn’t this completely insulting ignorance of the greatest sportsman who ever lived on the face of earth? If Babe Ruth’s 66 home runs and Nadia Comaneci’s perfect 10 qualify, why didn’t Don Bradman’s batting average of 99 persuade them? Should we launch a petition against this injustice to our hero? It’s worth it, believe me. It’s the Forbes magazine.
