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.
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, …read more

*The Poms. Er. Englishchers. I mean the English. Beating the Sri Lankan tigers on their own home turf is no ring-a-ring-a-roses.

Wow, Brett “Brute” Lee is back. I think we need to give him kudos for the superb hat-trick, which also happens to be the first in Twenty20 Cricket, against Bangladesh. Remember, he also has a ODI hat-trick to his name.
Watch it here:
England get stuffed
England gifted the Twenty20 to Pakistan on a plate. England were rubbish and got stuffed by a vastly superior Pakistan one day outfit. Shoaib Aktor recently back from injury, and Mohammad Asif (just back) bowled accurately, reducing a promising 40-0 to 55-3, with KP scoring another golden duck, his second to Asif in as many matches. Strauss only lasted a ball longer than KP, and Collingwood’s 2 in 11 balls left the score at 60 odd for 4. Trescothick looked in top form and made a match top score of 53. Jamie Dalrymple and Mike Yardy, both new to the …read more
