"I use my feet. Whether it’s Harbhajan or not … I don’t play names."
Kirk Edwards is not intimidated by Harbhajan Singh or any other spinner. He’s got twinkling feet.
What he really meant:
“I play each ball on its merits. It doesn’t matter to me who’s bowling.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Does Bhajji turn the ball?”

What he said:
“Not everyone gets to be raja [king], some have to be mantri [minister].”
Harbhajan Singh is not too worried on being overlooked for the Indian ODI captaincy.
What he really meant:
“You’ve never heard of Birbal, have you? I think I’m Birbal to Raina.”
What he definitely didn’t:
“Jodhaa Akbar.”

A point of similarity between Gabriela Pasqualotto and Mahendra Singh Dhoni:
Until today, the two were content playing the game “Maybe I will, maybe I won’t”.
Pasquallotto, of course, was referring to whether she’d make her story public to the tabloids.
She will—if she’s paid and if she’s allowed to write it herself. Fair enough.
Fast bowling legend, Michael Holding, set the cat among the pigeons with his comments regarding the legality of the ‘doosra’ during the second ODI between Pakistan and West Indies at St. Lucia.
It is not the first time that old-timers have questioned the legality of the delivery.It will not be the last.
India’s Bishan Singh Bedi is another rabid critic of the off-spinner’s googly.
“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.
Harbhajan Singh and Reebok have discovered the Teesra. In a viral video doing the rounds on YouTube, the off-spinner demonstrates a ball that stops and reverses back to the bowler.
It actually drops dead after spinning back and side-wards.
Much like the back-spinning, side-spinning drop shots employed by tennis masters .

The debate rages on.
Have the Indian selectors chosen the best possible side for the ODI World Cup?
The argument centres on whether there ought to have been a back-up keeper. MS Dhoni—as captain and stumper—shoulders a heavy responsibility.
To his credit, he has borne the burden well and there is no reason to believe that he will not do the same in February-March—should he remain fit.
As for the pessimists, they will wonder who will keep wickets if Dhoni is forced to miss a match.
