Rahul Dravid brooding...…
"To me, it's about tying your best to be the best you can be, day after day, in whichever format you are playing and for whichever team you are playing."

Sehwag’s core complacency
The one thing Virendra Sehwag has always been good at is saying and doing things he shouldn't be saying or doing. Take for example the quote last week:
I do not want to be captain anymore
That was stupid. He would have been better off saying that he doesn’t want to score 500 runs in an innings. Though he still might achieve the 500, he knew that he could never be captain again. Why the need for such hilarious public denouncement of the post? Why Viru, WHY?
Now take a look at this picture:
This is Sehwag today, at the Kolkata fashion week. Is he even supposed to be there. Everyone knows he is recuperating from an injury, why the need to strut his stuff in a royal north Indian dress when you can recuperate in the best possible manner watching the cricket from home. And wanting to be there. Bad!
I am not trying to infringe on his right to do whatever he wants to do in his free time. But such incidents hurt the average fan. I am not the average fan, so I can write about this. The average fan must be thinking about realigning his loyalties.
Gambhir Joins the injured list
World’s best batsman injured!
Zaheer, Sehwag, and now Gambhir. This is one heck of a paid leave our cricketers are enjoying. All ‘work’ and no ‘play’ makes you a stupid person. No one seems to take that seriously though, with people queuing up to be a part of the injured gang.
Virat Kohli has been named as a replacement, more on grounds of ‘let the person who was dropped first get selected first’ than ‘let the best man be the replacement.’ Yes, I am referring to Rohit Sharma.
India take on The Crack Caps tomorrow, in their first game of the most unnecessary series played in the most uninteresting format of cricket.
In another seriously crappy piece of news, Dinesh Kartik has been officially announced as the second opener, partnering the elixir himself, Sachin Tendulkar. Must have been the default choice, given the absence of Rohit Sharma, who too, by the way, sucked in the T20s and in the Carribean as the opener.
Meanwhile, the guys at my server at Paddlesweep have profusely apologised and restored all my data there. I am going to blog at both the places till a final solution comes along.
Teams for tomorrow:
India: (probable) 1 Dinesh Karthik, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Rahul Dravid, 4 Suresh Raina, 5 Yuvraj Singh, 6 MS Dhoni (capt/wk), 7 Yusuf Pathan, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Ashish Nehra.
New Zealand: (probable) 1 Brendon McCullum (wk), 2 Jesse Ryder, 3 Martin Guptill, 4 Ross Taylor, 5 Jacob Oram, 6 Grant Elliot, 7 Daniel Vettori (capt), 8 Nathan McCullum, 9 Ian Butler/Kyle Mills, 10 Daryl Tuffey, 11 Shane Bond.
Live reporting a fucked up game
i mean come on, who is interested in this shit…
but i will still report it, cos i am bored..
England batted first, and thanks to Strauss and Morgan’s pitifully slow batting, managed to reach 228. Bresnan was man enough to contribute 31 unbeaten runs. Probably the most important of his career. With ODI’s counting it’s last few days on earth, it could well be his best ever.
Currently, the Aussies are playing as if there are two days left in a test match. 95/2 in 25 odd overs. In the context of the game, its a pretty good base…In the context of entertainment, WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTT!!!!

what non-cricketing bullshit
i have seen a lot of downs in my life as a cricket blogger. I have had my posts stolen, and the guy who stole them got a higher revenue out of that. I have been pulled up for plagiarism (a false claim, of course). I have had to switch between blog a little too often for anyone’s liking. All that hurt. But not enough.
This time, I have hurt enough. Yesterday, for the second time in less than six months, my self hosted blog got hacked and all the data was deleted. THIS IS ENOUGH. I am not giving up, of course. But i have indeed had enough of this bullshit. This is worse than losing to Bangladesh in a World Event. This is bad. This is the worst time in my blogging career.
So I have taken a call. I will not trust those stupid unsecure servers. I will put my blog at a place no one dares to hack – the google servers. Get me now, you fucking bastards. Piss off.
This is my home now, and will remain till apocalypse. Or googlocalypse. Or Cricketocalypse. Whichever is sooner.
Please redirect all your link love to this address.
Peace.

MS Dhoni is a walker
you heard it first here! MS Dhoni has walked after being adjudged not out by the man in the black shirt to display yet another case of pathetic umpiring.
so now we know that MSD is a walker! MSD is a good man! BULLSHIT!!!
India is staring at a very low score as of now. All hail MSD!
Yusuf Pathan has been run out by the world’s best ODI Batsman (ICC). All hail MSD!
Anyways, this blog still loves him. He is the man for the job, cos gods have better things to do
someone teach these black shirts a thing or two
I am not a big fan of dissent. But for one umpiring blunder today, I support it. Yuvraj should have taken his club and batted the umpire till his face turned the colour of his shirt. There was a huge inside edge and the umpire couldn’t see it and gave him leg before! I could see it on live TV and the umpire couldn’t. Unacceptable.
This is more unacceptable than Pragyan Ojha replacing Piyush Chawla! Or Beau Casson being put up for IPL auctions! The only think more unacceptable than this would be if Greg Chappel becomes India coach again.
what i fucking don’t understand is why aren’t such obvious blunders corrected by the third umpire within a minute? It is very much possible and probable.
Even Sachin got a bad decision, though not a blunder than this one.
Pretty soon, I would have to come up with a ‘blind people associated with cricket’ list!
