The IPL Team Websites

¶ Published Sunday, March 23rd at 7:57 am ∞ In CricketNo Comments »

I have been taking a more than passing interest in the IPL. There’s something in me that wants it to do well, I wonder why. I’ve seen the greed drive soccer down a murky road of agents and obscene player prices, although the English Premier League has showcased quality football for most part. But I’ll […]

On Sticking Ones’ Neck Out

¶ Published Saturday, January 19th at 10:18 am ∞ In Cricket, Sports1 Comment »

Never have I felt so good, after having gotten something so horribly wrong.
So I will attempt to take my chances once again:

Ponting is due a big score. He will come good in Adelaide.
Brad Hogg — who, in the light of Shaun Tait’s inept showing, seems like a much better bowler — will return and do […]

Brief Comment on the Cricket

¶ Published Tuesday, January 8th at 6:50 pm ∞ In Cricket, Sports1 Comment »

Few things have emerged, and will emerge, during the next couple of weeks. But let’s assume the following:

Bhajji doesn’t get banned. As a matter of fact, he is not banned; the ICC have caved in to BCCI’s demands. But after the proposed hearing let us assume he is free to play the rest of the […]

Why Lionel Messi is the Real Deal

¶ Published Thursday, July 12th at 11:15 am ∞ In Soccer2 Comments »

Not just because, in his fledgling career, he’s actually lived up to the expectations that goes with every hot, young Argentinian talent - the comparisons with the legendary Maradona
Not just because he’s been the most consistent player for Barcelona last season, when stars like Ronaldinho and Eto’o had injuries, bad form and ego to deal […]

Some Shameless Gloating

¶ Published Saturday, June 23rd at 6:26 am ∞ In Manchester United, Soccer, Blogs4 Comments »

The past week has sure been busy and I had a lot of things going on. Academically that is. Although that didn’t stop me from blogging, on the other blog.
For those not aware, I had started a football fan blog dedicated to Manchester United: Red Rants. Of course, thanks to Ahmed from Soccerlens for […]

Of Lakshmi Mittal and Football Clubs

¶ Published Tuesday, June 12th at 11:49 pm ∞ In Soccer, General Rubbish, SportsNo Comments »

I am expecting this piece of news to make it big in the Indian media. Lakshmi Mittal (yeah that steel guy) is apparently linked with a possible takeover of English Premier League football club Birmingham. I remember the frenzy when Baichung Bhutia moved to third division side Bury.
For those who don’t follow football that much […]

Subhash Chandra and Twenty20 Get Serious

¶ Published Monday, May 14th at 12:53 am ∞ In Twenty20, Cricket, T.V., Sports1 Comment »

Just yesterday when I saw this article on Cricinfo, it got me really interested in the whole thing about Subhash Chandra’s plans of emulating Kerry Packer.
Brian Lara, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and “more big names to follow” are being linked to a breakaway Twenty20 competition taking place in India this October, according to the latest […]

EPL - The Biggest Threat to Youtube?

¶ Published Tuesday, May 8th at 1:12 am ∞ In Soccer, Internet, Technology3 Comments »

The following post, although stems from football, is very much relevant for any other form of entertainment from video hosting sites like Youtube. I had posted this on Soccerlens, but feel it to be fairly general to be posted here too. One doesn’t need to know football to get the point of this post. So […]

United Clinch Premiership Title, Spidey disappoints

¶ Published Sunday, May 6th at 7:30 pm ∞ In Soccer, Manchester United, Movies, Entertainment, General Rubbish, Sports2 Comments »

At long last. After waiting three years it must be said, the result is satisfying to say the least. Chelsea needed to beat Arsenal to stay in the hunt for the league title, but they only managed a draw, after being down to ten men.
So now I will celebrate in the quiet confines of […]

Kaka Blows United’s Treble Dreams

¶ Published Thursday, May 3rd at 10:58 am ∞ In Manchester United, UEFA Champions League, Soccer, SportsNo Comments »

I fleetingly mentioned United’s clinical demolition of Roma in the Champions’ League quarterfinal. I wrote a preview to the first leg of the semi final against Milan on Soccerlens. However yesterday, in the second leg of the semi final, was when I saw some past masters of the game systematically take apart a team that […]
