Sripathi has blogged about the analysis of India’s defeat at the T20 World Cup that is bound to follow. I accept his challenge and this post is a response to that call
India’s defeat, in my honest opinion, is mainly due to the following reasons (not in any order though).
The lack of “skill” by [...]

No cricket update since a while…and no better time than when the great IPL is on
I was recently watching the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings. One commentator, whom I particularly hate, was on air. He tries to be the Richie Benaud of Indian commentary and, without a doubt, fails [...]

The strange co-incidence that is. After a hectic visit to Nellitheertha and then to Udupi, I had a really good meal at the Udupi temple Bhojane Shale and got back to the comforts of the A/C room in the hotel to watch India’s batting in the first finals of the tri-series. Few balls later, I [...]

Rewarding cricketers for the recent T20 victory is getting more absurd by the day. Politicians and other “high-society” people seem to be getting desperate to associate themselves with these people and grab some media attention.
The Kerala government had only one cricketer, Sreesanth, in their quota for awards. So they decided to rope in another “candidate”. [...]

All of us who thought so are fools. We simply have no idea who the real cup winners are. And its a shame we do not acknowledge their hard work and planning. So they decided to let everyone know of their contribution.

There have been some atrocious reasons attributed to the success of the Indian cricket team in winning the Twenty20 final. If Chak De India and Shah Rukh Khan were the reasons we won, why not make Shah Rukh the coach (or should we say manager) of the Indian cricket team. He can still go around [...]

Bangladesh are playing Uganda in a cricket match today. You know what that means – that India is very very close to playing a series against Uganda. I am sure one is being planned for immediately after the tour to Australia later this year. What better way for the team to redeem itself after the [...]

I am now completely convinced that racial discrimination is rampant in cricket and its practice is led by ICC. If this were not true, it is really hard to explain some of the recent happenings in cricket.
- Gayle and Michael Clarke had a bad confrontation in the Aus-WI match in the Champions Trophy recently. While [...]

Time to focus my attention back on cricket now
Cannot really understand some things that are currently happening in the cricket world.
England management really need a lesson or two on team selection. They have a “long term” captain who is not even sure about his cricketing future (Vaughan), a “medium term” captain who is [...]
