Indian Premier League – Shameless display of Extravagance

IPL (Indian Premier League) took the center stage last week when it auctioned the 77 top-class international players for the teams involved in the league. I was not surprised by the amount of media coverage it got and also by the amount of money that the different teams were ready to cough up to [...]

T20 match – what a shame?

What a shame to see Indians play like a team of gully players in their last T20 match with Australia. It required a strong showing from the young team esp after the Harbhajan’s verdict and after Mr.Dhoni and Mr. Yuvraj wanted all the Seniors out of the team.

India vs England, Day 3, first test – 2007

I know that amazing things have happened in cricket, and a few of them had come from the [...]
