WAGS, doctors and nurses protest the display of emotion by men in blue (Satire)


Virtually all professional cricket bats are ma...

That the Indian team was given a replica instead of the Real trophy was good enough reason to cobble together a band of experts for an hour-long discussion on the Times Of India news channel—at prime time.

It didn’t matter that the replica was a genuine one, albeit usually unveiled for promotional purposes.

IPL franchisees come under ICAI scanner: Big Trouble for Big IPL Money


Shashi Tharoor at the MEDEF Université d'été

There’s more trouble brewing for the BCCI’s cash-cow, the Indian Premier League (IPL).

The IPL has been mired in controversies over the past year.

The Twitter spat between Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor was the spark that triggered a conflagration of sorts; IPL shenanigans were tabled on the floor of Parliament. Media darling, Tharoor, was forced to resign from his position of Ministry of External Affairs (MEA).

“We are the champions – my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting
Till the end
We are the champions
We are the champions
No time for losers
‘Cause we are the champions of the World”

Freddie Mercury’s lyrics may seem trite and overused. Yet they never fail to send out the right message.

Team India are champions of the world.

Nothing and no one can take that away from Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his boys.

Poonam Pandey makes it big riding piggyback on Team India


One thing’s for certain.

We all know who Poonam Pandey is—now.

She’s that little known Kingfisher model who promised to strip nude if Team India won the World Cup.

I’m a serious kind of bloke and it got me wondering immediately why would Ms Pandey want to do this. And just who Poonam Pandey was.

Is she one of those Page 10 celebrities who frequent Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meets? A relapsed alcoholic? That would explain it.

No, you idiot, it’s the free publicity.

Twitter timeline tells a story: Sreesanth’s


Sreesanth at Adelaide Oval

Team India has made the final.

Team India may and should win.

However, in all the hype and hoopla and maybe premature celebration, spare a thought for a man who despite being in the 15 finds himself on the sidelines after just one bad game.

ShantaKumara Sreesanth could very well have been the wicket-taking bowler this Indian side craved. His recent exploits in South Africa were soon forgotten.

His suspect temperament relegated his other virtues to the background.

A peek at his Twitter timeline over the past week tells a story:

Cricket World Cup 2011: Afterthoughts on the India-Pakistan semi-final


The much awaited, much hyped, Mother Of All Games between sub-continental giants—India and Pakistan—is finally behind us.

India won, Pakistan lost.

Indian fans will celebrate.

Pakistani fans will mourn.

Another sub-continental giant—Sri Lanka—await the men in blue on Saturday, the 2nd of April, 2011 in Mumbai.

Despite it sounding like a cliché on a stuck record, can Team India do it for Sachin Tendulkar?

Ricky Ponting: Will you miss me, Cricket Australia?

Ricky Ponting finally gave in.

Hordes of critics baying for his blood would not be denied.

The World Cup loss to India, in the quarters, was the final straw.

Much as Ricky Ponting would have liked to take the terminal blow on his chin—like  a man—he would be first to admit that multiple body blows over the past few months had left him with more than just a bloody, broken finger.

It made him vulnerable—never a happy state of affairs for an Australian captain.
