of clouds and silver linings

A blog by donthaveaclue Iâ?(tm)m a cricket fan, have been one for a large part of my life. So anytime there was some form of international cricket on, acquaintances would raise their eyebrows in surprise when, let alone the ball-by-ball score, I expressed ingnorance about which team was batting. The reason – All cricket is [...]

please don’t grudge me this

December 1, 2007 – 6:54 pm

Sorry guys. I had to put this up today. I have waited for 11 years, since the whippersnapper got his first at Lords. I am just happy he got his 100 at Eden Gardens, and I wish I was there to see it. Finally, Ganguly finds paradise at Eden Anand Vasu in Kolkata: December 1, [...]

enough is enough? no, not yet

October 15, 2007 – 11:15 am

we have just one option, only dravid…

October 13, 2007 – 5:35 pm

should go, and not take Tendulkar or Ganguly with him. In the last ODI series in England, Tendulkar and Ganguly were the leading run getters, and if memory serves me right, inspite of Ganguly getting a couple of rank bad decisions. In the present series against Australia, Tendulkar has been scoring runs. Ganguly has been [...]
