The Colonel’s Last Wicket by G V Rama Rao
2008-02-28 09:20:00 The Colonel’s Last Wicket by G V Rama Rao is a delightful novel that uses scenarios and technicalities drawn from cricket to add poignancy to a gentle but moving story. This is not a book about cricket. It’s a book about people, about their development, their motivation and their identity. At the plot’s core are Colonel Seth and Raju, the former a retired, decorated Indian Army officer. He is a widower, proud of his successful daughters, but still suffers a little when he contemplates what might have been. Despite his medals, he was never promoted to the highest rank; his beloved wife died; he never had a son. And he never achieved the distinction of playing first class cricket.Raju’s life has been a thoroughly different story, however. He is an orphan, living a life of poverty in a poor area. Of dubious parentage, even his peers and playmates regard him with some disdain.But Colonel Seth sees talent and potential in Raju when, by chance, he watches the boy playing a makeshi...

wicket cricket
2007-12-01 06:20:00 so i received my first lesson in cricket, purely educational with no hands-on experience required. the big series has been on-going for a month, pitting the best of pakistan with the formidable indian team. anybody with a sense of national pride is watching the games, and seeming as we're one of few people who own a tv, it's convenient for people to drop by. no worries though, it's an entertaining break from our regular routine. anyway, based on my experience of how the scores are displayed on tv, i was under the impression the score was 245-8. quite an overwhelming deficit to work your way out of... potentially a point where perhaps some sort of mercy rule should be considered to spare the embarrassment of such a prolonged whippin'. apparently, the second number isn't the score, but how many wickets have been made (outs for us north americans). the other teams' score? you're just supposed to remember that, you are rooting for them aren't you?

2007-09-18 18:58:00 Shahid Afridi is not getting chances to bat up the order and to show his destructive batting performance in the world twenty20 2007. But he has turned himself to be the key bowler not only in Pakistani side but also among all the teams. He has taken 10 wickets in this twenty-twenty world cup to be the highest wicket-taker along with Daniel Vettori of New Zealand.Afridi doesn't get great spin of the ball but his change in pace and clever bowling has helped him a lot in this series. Shahid Afridi is very clever in his bowling. He took 4 wickets against Scotland, 1 against India, 3 against Sri Lanka and 1 against Australia. I am really impressed by his change in pace and his ability to read the batsman. Afridi just forces the batsmen to do mistakes and finally he takes wickets. Afridi though is not a great turner of ball is successful due to this.Along with Shahid Afridi's destructive batting and sharp fielding, his bowling is best suited for twenty20 games which he has already prove...
