Now the King talks to You

I got a few of your questions answered by King Kumar.
Here they are.
1)Over the last year, SL have tried out 4 different combinations as test openers. How close or far are we to finding a pair to match Sanath and Marvan?
I think the real question is who out of the players will step up to [...]

The sit down. Uh - huh.
Ps- Dont worry, all your questions have been answered too. They are coming shortly.
1)With regards to the Pakistan attacks, in particular about the much talked about security arrangement. Was the security detail any different on that 3rd day? As compared to the rest of the tour [...]

IPL match times

So following on from Lalit Modis ‘ingenius’ move to shift the INDIAN premier league to South Africa I am left baffled at the match schedule, in particularly the match timings.
Modi knows the importance of getting the eyeball figure to shoot up and you cant get a better audience than a billion cricket mad Indians.
So his [...]

How good was Mahela?

A lot of people are ready to brandish Mahelas numbers to prove he was the best ever skipper for SL.We don’t doubt Mahela was a good captain. He was, for a period, probably the best in the market.
Mahelas test record reads
15 wins in 26 games. On the surface that’s very good. But 7 of those [...]

Modi Say, IPL and India do

The IPL I thought was an Indian institution. After all it is the INDIAN premier league. Maybe I was wrong.
Have you ever heard about the English Premier League being played out side England because the government couldn’t round up enough coppers?
To say that this has the greedy paw prints of Lalil Modi all over it [...]

Australia, not even the 3rd best team in the world

But India is.
It all went down at the Bankstown Oval. Under the watchful gaze of the Stephen and Mark Waugh pavilion.
Australia were taking on India in the most important game that wasn’t the World Cup final.
3rd Place play off, oh ya baby.
I got there just after the showers and play had restarted with 4 overs [...]

North wins, Inter Prov Finals - day 2 and 3

After being bowled out for 223, Wayamba picked up 8 wickets for 132 runs.
On the surface that would probably put them ahead in this game.
The only glitch is the other two batsmen scored 255 runs between them. No prizes for guessing who it was either.
Angelo Matthews has clearly made his case to be included in [...]

the balls on my chest

There is a cliche’ saying if there is a will there is a way.
Never has it been more true than when Bryce Mcgain took the field for the Australians yesterday.
There is also another saying, ‘Behind every  unknown leg spinner destined for glory is a devoted cricket blogger’.
Ya, that one.
That’s the story about our own Uncle [...]

Inter-Prov Finals day 1

Well, well, well.
The Premadasa threw all predictions out the window  on day 1.
What a ripper of start to the finals. 14 wickets gone and a result is assured.
We like.
After winning the toss and batting, like we said they should, Wayamba were 5 down with less than 100 on the board. The big 4 - Udawatte, [...]
