Oh No, Not Again!

Oh come on!
We wouldn’t be far off the mark if we say “We saw it coming”, would we? Three different sub-continent teams played Australia in three successive finals with no answers really. Although the scorecard of the Sri Lankans made better reading than the creaming their Indian and Pakistani counterparts got the last two times.

Lionel Messi - Maradona Comparisons Resurface

¶ Published Friday, April 20th at 3:29 am ∞ In Soccer, Sports2 Comments »

This is for those football ‘fans’ who wake up once in four years for the World Cup and lapse into deep football insulation after that. Although it becomes harder to ignore feats such a this [refer Youtube video]. Plenty has been said about Messi’s potential to fulfill the prophecies that burden a lot of Argentinian […]

Twenty20 in India

¶ Published Wednesday, April 18th at 11:23 am ∞ In Cricket, Sports7 Comments »

Okay, I had to break my silence on this. It’s terribly galling to know that a tournament of such significance to Indian cricket gets such treatment from the media, the fans and the board. I find it hard to believe that a format that brought the crowds back into the stadiums in England and South […]

Of Sepp Blatter and Indian sport

FIFA president Sepp Blatter has urged India to focus more on football than cricket.
FIFA president Sepp Blatter on Monday urged cricket-mad India to embrace football, saying the sport had a great future in the land of one billion people.”At present we are working on Vision Asia and our plan for India is […]

Treble Dreams Still Alive

¶ Published Tuesday, April 10th at 11:08 pm ∞ In Manchester United, UEFA Champions League, Soccer, Sports2 Comments »

It’s been a feature of United’s performance throughout this season, with all their attacking verve and flair, demolishing teams at will. But to do such a feat in Europe was going to take something special. Today’s UEFA Champions’ League quarterfinal against Roma was one such example of pure footballing masterclass. A team that was trailing […]

India shown the door

Didn’t we see it coming? No how could we? After all… all those companies that sponsored the Cup are Indian, aren’t they? (At least they all have major Indian market presence)
In a brilliant exhibition of bird brained batting, the Men in Blue (or should we say the Blue Man Group) hit balls perfectly aimed down […]

The Juggernaut Finally Awakens… but Alarm Bells still Ringing

¶ Published Tuesday, March 20th at 12:20 am ∞ In World Cup 2007, Cricket, Sports7 Comments »

The Team finally performed to what they were famed for. Although, you have to feel sorry for poor little Bermuda. Surely they were not going to put up much of a fight. This performance however proves that the Indians (and Greg Chappell) value their lives as well as their property, as Dhoni had to find […]

Morbid Pleasures

Was definitely chuffed after the knockout blow that Pakistan suffered at the hands of the Leprechauns. Sometimes I wonder if the post match Urdu directive from above had anything to do with morale in general. You know, stuff like Inzy losing his edge and deadpan wit and all. But today he did speak in English, […]

World Cup ‘Fever’

¶ Published Saturday, March 10th at 11:57 pm ∞ In World Cup 2007, Cricket, Sports, Internet2 Comments »

It’s a strange feeling. Just when you resign yourself to the truth that the Americans couldn’t (and would never) care less about football (soccer), you have another sporting event that most of them will never ever hear of in their lifetimes. Quite understandable, their hatred for Britishness. Baseball and American football were invented out of […]

Back to school… and some other things

¶ Published Sunday, February 11th at 3:01 am ∞ In Graduate Life, General Rubbish, Politics, SportsNo Comments »

Like they say, “Stuff happens”. Or, was it stuff or something other word that starts with ’s’?
Nevermind.
Just as I begin to get rid of the indolence that characterized the sleepy month, that was December (and early January), I wake up to the rudeness of a mid term test this week. I use the word ‘rudeness’ […]
