WTF Quote of the day

This section is fully dedicated to Ponting's WTF's

"There is absolutely no place for racism in sport or in society generally and I fully support the International Cricket Council's anti-racism policy. All our players are very aware of their responsibility"

"I had nothing to gain personally from taking this action. I was doing the right thing by the game"

"Under Steve's captaincy we signed a collective pledge to uphold and enhance that spirit. And since I took over from him, I have taken it on myself to personally ensure that each new member of the team is fully aware of his responsibilities to the game"

"Everyone in the Australian team knows how important the 'Spirit of Cricket' is to the way we play the game. Anyone who knows me and the way I play will be aware I do not make a point of running to umpires and making complaints"

Ha Ha...Ponting...You do really make me laugh, you cry baby

Yes Ponting...I believe you...you did not ground the ball....



PS: I thank Amit for the title. He is the one who regularly writes them and I borrowed it for this occasion.

India - World domination in Cricket?

I was wondering when some idiot will start this rhetoric about India controlling the sport of cricket. And yes it is started. The moment when India tries to do something about the injustice that is done to the them in cricket, we are controlling the game. pufff... what to say more than this brilliant piece by Prem Panickar in Rediff

Prem, I agree fully with you mate....

And yes another Aussie has spoken in his wonderful piece on Sydney Test. It just does not get into their thick heads... Funny

Ponting - You Cheat

My dear readers, Is the ball touching the ground or not? What do you guys think?



I for one think that it is, and Ponting lied and cheated during the press conference

Appeal to Australian cricket fans

My dear aussie cricket fans,

This is an earnest appeal. I do not particularly like your team. But I always thought that you guys played well and played good. But now I do not have respect for your team. How can you look at a bunch of cheats with pride?

Question for you guys to ponder.

Mr. Clarke, the latest cheat, is supposed to your next captain? Do you really want a cheat to be your captain?

But I am sure mates, you guys are not going to be on the top for long. That is for sure.

Please retire Mr. Bucknor

You have done enough damage. Please spare cricket. Get out before people throw you out.

India : Second test against SA

Well Well...We have been doing what I had feared. We have won the test and have been celebrating...the media as usual have been doing its part by hyping up the Indians as they always do.

I hope our team realises that it is just one game and have gone back to the drawing board for the next 2 games. It is going to be an acid test where in SA will throw everything at us and try to humiliate us in the remaining games. What we need to do is keep a cool head, remove the past success from our mind and concentrate on the second game. Don't get me wrong, by winning the first test, we have achieved something great. But that is no use if we lose the next 2 and lose the series. We need to concentrate and prove to ourselves that we are good.

Only time will tell.

India first ever test win in SA

Regular readers of my blog would have noticed my rant and my doubts about what will happen to India during our present test series.

And wonders of wonders, We have won the test and in quite a convincing fashion. Wonderful. I am also happy that Mr. Nel got some of the stuff that he dishes out quite often. The truth is he really can't take what he gives.

Hats of to Sreesanth for performing so well with his bowling. He also indulged in a bit of break dance on field.

Do watch it here

India v/s SA First test

Tomorrow the test series starts. After the classic SA drubbing, Will our guys stand up to the Andre Nel + Greame Smith bullies.

Andre Nel is absolute classic as far as I am concerned. He is the typical bully that you see the school fighting over a lollipop. I really want us guys to whack the holy sh&& out of him. But this is only my hope. I really don't see this as a reality though. :)...so much for my optimism.

Time will tell.

Cricket important that Sex?

A survey by men's magazine ZOO has revealed that Australian men have pledged their willingness to abstain from sex in return for their cricketers reclaiming the Ashes from England.

Confirming that there are few things in life more dear to Australians than sport, a survey found that 41 per cent would forgo for a month the pleasures of the bedroom in return for victory.

Who said Sport is for fun?

PS: Another good example by which the media can sensationalize any issue. :)
