Well it is that part of the year where you sit down and take stock of the year gone by.... On the sports front...Year 2011 will be remembered by every passionate Indian Cricket Fan in the same vein as year 1983...Yes WE WON THE CRICKET WORLD CUP and reached the pinnacle of cricket. In the same context would have loved to see India win the MCG Boxing Day Test and end the year on a high. Every

ICC World Cup 2011 is upon us..it has been already 4 years since the last one played in the West Indies. The last world cup was won by Australia thus making it hat-tricks of wins for them. Apart from the on-field happenings the WC 2007 will be remembered more for its off-field events & controversies. The tragic end of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer who was found unconscious in his hotel room and

My son - Abhishek enacting a scene as Duryodhana  from Mahabharat esp in the Maya Saba. He speaks the dialogues when Duroydhana finds a pond in the middle of the hall and believes it to be a mirage & steps straight into it. As Duryodhana falls he hears Draupadi - Paanchaali laughing and he wows to finish off the Paandaavs. The dialogues are in TELUGU...as this is part of his MANABADI - Telugu

11 June,2010 the hosts South Africa kicked off the FIFA Worldcup with the game against Mexico. It is astonishing to see how much excitement and frenzy a Worldcup of soccer has created around the world. Everyone on the streets, in the coffee area of the offices, restaurants seem to be talking about names like Messi, Henry, Rooney, Beckham ala carte :-). Soccer World-cup seems to bring people of

Every shot he played was either disappearing into the crowd or hitting the advertising boards.Tendulkar has been having a dream run of form with bat in this IPL so far. And to top it off with his knock today he came up with a

I have stopped blogging for many days (years).....but watching the match between Chennai Super Kings & King Punjab made me blog again.Classic match. you could say one team tried its best to loose the match while the other sneaked through an ajar door. there were couple of instances for few players to make a name for themselves and they did not grab it- parthiv patel had everything going for him.

By now everyone would have realised that US Moved to Daylight Saving Time (DST) this weekend. So, this means that starting weekend the time zone delta with the US will be one less hour.Keeping this in view, I noticed that the time on my 'BLACKJACK' had not changed to the DST timings.

The Final Game lived up to the expectations....Eli Manning gave the 'slip' of his life...Patriots were left shell-shocked. Eli in the last 2 minutes of the game played probably threw the 'best' throws in a football game. NY Giants defense were the "MVP" of the superbowl. Brady was not able to create the moves and was 'sacked' very often or made to throw wild.An interesting article that caught the

IS THIS THE TOUCHDOWN for the CHAMPIONSHIP......Are we going to see the the end of "SEASON RUN-STREAK" of the PATRIOTS...35 secs to go in the match and the Giants lead by 3 and now 'time-outs' will come into picture..TOM BRADY - THE STATUE will have to bring out his best game out in the field..HOLD YOUR BREATH ......

Patriots are having a tough time keeping the NY Giants defense at bay. NY Gaints had a turnover just before the half-time. NY Giants would go to the tent feeling good...they have not let the Patriots run away with the game. Tom Brady has been sacked almost 3 times today and has tough time throwing 6 times.Scoreline of 7-3 in favor of Patriots definetely does not tell the true story of the game.

Bangalore seems to have a unique record of seeing Pakistan and Indian players getting into a swearing fight and unfortunately it has resulted in two pakistani batsmen getting out immediately. Both the incidents happened at a crucial time of the respective matches and surprisingly it involved the local 'karnataka' boys.First incident happened in the Q'Finals match in 1996 WC between Venkatesh

Has India dropped a golden chance to win the series at Kolkata....Next match is at Bangalore and it happens to be a happy-hunting ground for Pakistan..At the same time, Pakistan have given themselves an outside chance to square the series at Bangalore. Pakistan have done well in the past when test matches were played in 1987 and 2005.Well...who can forget 1987 test match where Sunil Gavaskar

Let me begin with appluading the Pakistan team for putting up a spirited challange so far in the 2nd test @ Kolkata in the ongoing India v/s Pak Test Series in India.Everyone had predicted that the India would roll-over the Pakistan in this test match. And with Pakistan not fielding its top 11 players and India chugging along nicely to a 600 plus score, the writing was very much clear on the wall

Finally, Indian selectors decide to hand-over the captain's crown to the most hardworking cricketer of the team. Anil Kumble is known to give his 100% on the field always and no one can deny the fact. He is one of many gutsy players who came on to the field even when injured and try his best to win India a Test.Anil Kumble definetly deserves the crown as he comes to the end of his career. Hope

Indian cricket team needs to learn to walk the talk. All the aggression they show with their hands and glares needs to be put into action. Aussies are the true champions and they play aggresively which is defined in winning matches from a situation of 13 for 3. Ponting rightly states in his article Some Indians misinterpreting aggression - Ponting"Both teams can still play aggressively, but when

With the resignation of Dravid as Indian captain, the Indian Cricket team seems to be going nowhere.No Captain, No coach.... BCCI needs to take an action soon to put the train back on rails. At this moment, the sudden resignation of the captain after successful tour of England really raises some eyebrows. The excuse of concentrating on his batting does not really gel with the circumstances.And

Finally, there was a match of equals and something to cheer about in the WC-2007.After so many soft matches, finally there was an even contest and CRICKET was the winner.

The option of 'continue' may not be looking very attractive with age, form not in synch and also the 4-year WC show is over for India. As we have seen in recent past that his batting prowess in ODI is on decline

India are beaten all blue by Sri Lanka......Sri Lanka played like a unit and gave the Indians no breathing space...rather Indians choked themselves to death would be a better statement....Indians wait for an outcome of the last match in their group B'ldesh v/s Bermuda to decide their fate...Knowing the form B'desh is playing and how Bermudas play...the result is a forgone conclusion..Muralitharan

Indian Dream of making it to Super 8 is in shatters.....They themselves are to be blamed.....Needless run-outs and shots that were not necessary at any given stage...The gameplan should have been very simple, play out the 50 overs and be watchful against VAAS and Muralitharan....With wickets in hand, India could have easily chased down 255 but that was not to be...They say you cannot say till

Indians are struggling...They are in a spot of bother chasing 255 runs at 44 for 3 in 11 overs.Sachin Tendulkar bowled for 'duck' on the 3rd ball he faced....The 'god' of Indian cricket is gone and with that hopes of India making it to Super 8 have dwindled... We cannot say it is a lost cause because it has been 'ages' since the 'god' took India to a win.With this knock this interesting thought

It all boils down the next 3 hours.... Will India make the cut for Super 8...Sri Lanka have done well...they have posted a challenging score of 255 for India to win.SL middle-order batsmen turned the heat on Indian fielders with some good running between the wickets. Indian team must be rueing the fact they bowled 14 wides and 2 no-balls. They bowled 2.4 overs extra and this in-discipline in

Indian bowlers have done well in the first 25 overs of the SL innings.After the way they started in the first over...every Indian fan would have been hoping it is not the signs of the things to come...but so far India is hanging in there with some good tight bowling.They have also picked up three valuable wickets and are applying the pressure on the SL batsmen. Indians seem charged and confident.

It is a do or die situation for India in WC 2007... they carry the hopes of billions of cheering Indian fans all over the world.India win the toss and elect to field in this crucial tie.The first 5 overs have not gone India's way...the start of Zaheer Khan refreshes the memory of the 2003 final...Nervous start with wides and leg byes... India needed a good start in the bowling but have filtered

India have started their campaign in WC 2007 on a disappointing note.Everyone was expecting India to steam roll Bangladesh and at the end of the 1st session the story looks to be different.Once called 'minows' of the cricket, Bangla Tiger seems to roaring loudly. They beat New Zealand in their warm-match chasing 226. Hence, the things really look grim for India unless the bowlers can turn in a

At the end of 1st day at Newlands, Capetown, SA - there was a talk stating that Rahul Dravid had given his team a New Year Gift by winning the toss. Also there was a talk of similarties between matches played in past and especially the one played in SydneyBut looking at the comparision, one can definetely feel that the similarities failed to exist since day 1Day 1: In sydney India scored 284 for

At the end of the 4th day's play SA seem to be holding the upper hand in the duel at Capetown.The glow on the SA faces must have have dimmed a bit with the fall of Amla at the end-of-days play. But they would be overall excited and anxious to wrap the match tomorrow on a canter.But the Verdict from Dileep Premachandran in Capetown clearly says it all... India dig their own graveWhatever happened

An interesting duel is in offerring at Capetown,SA between India and SA.It is interesting to note that all the experts have been going gaga over the pitch and claiming it to be an Indian twin. But surprisingly, Indian Think Tank thinks otherwise and have decided to play only one spinner in the match. Personally, have been harping on playing Bhajji in SA since the beginning and feel India have

The blue brigade has turned the tables on the Proteas at the Wanderers.“Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.” – The saying from Bhagavad-Gita aptly portraits the Indian Cricket Team’s belief in them and that has lead them to a victory and cricket-crazy nation into raptures of joy.This moment will be even more cherished as it has come at a time when Indian Team was expected to get

In the past, team selection has been the 'achilles heel' for the Indian Cricket team. They always believe in playing to the strategy of 'horses for the courses' rather than playing to their strengths and belief.Personally feel, that Indian Team is repeating the same mistake once again by not playing their best players. Over the years, Indian team has won matches by unleashing their 'spinning

The curtain has finally come down on the Champions Trophy 2006 and the cup has gone 'down under'.Australia wrapped the final in the only style they are known to do i.e. 'champion style'. No hiccups, no drama, no controversies.....but a methodical surgery took place in Mumbai...the patient WI were administered 'general anesthesia' and they never recovered from the same.This was considered a dress

Now with just couple of months to go before the cricket's extravaganza takes place..they seem to be tumbling out of the race.Graham Gooch in one of his columns had made a good observation that the Indian team was peaking too soon before the WC and that surely seems to be

WI are really turning the things on...except for the match against SL where they were totally outplayed they seem to be on the roll..Beating Australia is not something which can be taken lightly. If they keep up the form they probably could be trotting away with 'champions trophy' for second year running. They are a team in building and some of the players are coming good at the right time.
