Dhoni overtakes sachin as the highest paid in the endorsement field
2008-05-31 14:24:00 For somebody like Sachin Tendulkar, who has played cricket for close to 20 years and the other, Mahendra Singh Dhoni , who just seemed like yesterday to me when he made his debut, has gone on to overtake Sachin Tendulkar as the highest paid Indian cricketer in terms of endorsements, is quite staggering to me.

IPL: Rajasthan Royals wins the inaugural IPL
2008-05-30 13:02:00 Seriously they have! Because how meaningless in context are these so-called knockout rounds in the name of Semi-finals and finals are in the IPL!

IPL: Why did the Deccan Chargers fail?
2008-05-28 10:42:00 The clear pre-tournament favourites for many was the most disappointing team in the tournament. A batting line-up filled with explosive stars like Gilchrist, Gibbs , Symonds and Afridi was supposedly the sure-fire hit for twenty-20 cricket, yet they failed miserably. To be fair, on another year, the same people like Afridi and Gibbs could well have ... More About: Chargers , Singh

A good read on T6 cricket and its corporate side
2008-05-23 12:00:00 I stumbled upon this lovely post by K.Parthasarathi on his blog, which gave me fond memories of my childhood days playing cricket in my colony. The only difference I see in today’s kids is how monopoly of the game has caught on even with them. Read Partha’s post on the corporate side of T6 cricket.

Welcome racist India! No black cheerleaders please!

It?s England?s day and a potential borefest
2008-05-16 06:33:00 Finally, test cricket and I was all excited to see some sanity and so called real quality prevail.

So far so good? Not so for the fringe!
2008-04-21 08:33:00 The next set of IPl matches went on with some mixed results on the quality of the cricket played. Riders wrapped their second win while Laxman felt he was robbed.

A dull series and a South African mauling
2008-04-14 13:52:00 The last test ended with India quite easily romping home after their spinners predictably did what was expected on a dirt track which would easily qualify for Pro-racing or inspire the game developers for Motocross madness. The only positive in that pitch was that a result was definitely on the cards and it would never ... More About: Series , South , South African , African
