The boring early middle overs
You know that point in Test cricket where everyone is enjoying themselves and then suddenly Mike Hussey, Paul Collingwood or Virender Sehwag comes on to bowl the 72nd over. I hate that bit. I love it when random bowlers come on for a tactical reason. No one can hide their smile when watching Graham ...

Kapil Dev da jawab nahi!
Kapil Dev believes Sachin Tendulkar should immediately quit ODI. In fact Tendulkar should have quit long ago, paaji says. Probably Tendulkar should have never played cricket in the first place maybe? Doosra buttonholed paaji for an air-clearing purpose and here goes the excerpts: Doosra: Paaji, welc...

Dean Jones, Ravi Shastri, Ellyse Perry and a large furry lion
Yes this is about my film, because we need fucken cash, so give us some. We had a real identity crisis in Australia. Fun-time-happy-internet-vodcasters (or as one journalist called it, five minute piss-artists) one minute.Serious-film-makers-trying-to-get-to-the-truth the next. Some odd stuff happe...

Ricky Ponting at the dogs
Ricky Ponting is still playing international cricket. So a testimonial seems like an odd thing to do. Instead here is a video of Ricky Ponting with Ben Affleck hair and his goatee...

The blank stare and the pursed lips are back
Along with the shriek of happiness, which for a moment makes you think that a cheerleader at the ground as been pinched in her bum. Those however, have been a little on the low side owing to the fact that Sri Lanka havent won anything yet. But the trademark undecipherable stare off into the distanc...

How good is Clint McKay?
Ive never rated Clint McKay. Never. Every time I see him on the Australian team sheet I think its a weakened team. And it goes back farther than that, when he played for Victoria in the old days I felt the same way. For years Id be one of seven people in the G watching [......

Hi Angelo
I once wrote that Angelo Mathews did not really exist. He just seemed a bit too awesome. And not like other Sri Lankan cricketers. Angelo wasnt a graceful middle-order mestro, or a tubby fighter. Angelo wasnt a top-order slogger, or even a tricky spinner. Thats what Sri Lankan cricket was; wed g...

Pakistan and Q, welcome back my friends
We wanted to write something on new Pakistans demolition job over in the UAE. In hindsight the fact that Sri Lanka escaped with a 1-0 loss seems like a bloody good achievement. Although we wanted to get something new up on Pakistan, we realised that somtimes to see how far you have come, it is [......

The Death Of Nuwan Kulesekara
Something in me dies everytime I see Nuwan Kulesekara get to the top of his run. It could be that I know another 125kmph dolly is about to be looped up to an interntional batsmen but it could equally be because it reminds me of an animal who is withering in pain in its last [......

Ford
Graham Ford must be into a bit of S&M. Otherwise we fail to see the appeal that the Sri Lankan coaching job offers. Uncle J Jarrod Kimber for you new ones out there, tweeted at the time that if he was Ford he wouldnt be getting a 12 month mobile plan.We suggested that there [......

Rahul eyespin Sharma
All legspinners are freaks. Mushtaq Ahmed had hands of doom. Shane Warnes wrists were radioactive. Anil Kumble could see into the future. Imran Tahir had a magical alice band. Tiger Bill OReilly was an actual tiger. And Bryce is the human spreadsheet. Legspinners arent normal. Rahul Sharma is not...

A good year ?
Mahela Jayawardene is the captain of Sri Lanka. Again. This is generally viewed as a good thing. But there is a catch. He will only stick around in the job for a year. Of this, we are not sure about. In fact we do not agree with it at all. That Sri Lanka needed a [......

A debut on NDTV and talking bout t20
NDTV wanted the lighter side of cricket when talking about India, so they locked Sam and I into an ADL oval room. I talked to them about Sophies Choice, North Korea and horror films. You can watch it here, if you feel the need. I also wrote this. - Brad Hoggs comeback and George Baileys [......

Where to now?
I guess we all go through tough periods in our lives. Some say they literally feel the weight of the world. Weve wondered about that. And told those people you couldnt possibly feel it literally. Then they begin to argue and we just end up conceding, although it pains us deeply because we know th...

Afridis Secret Diary: My Brash With Politics!
I resently attended Imran Bhai's political rally and I am impressed like nobodys business. It was so crowded that no body was going. But I went and the because was, Imran Bhai invited me. Of course I was septic initially but still went. When I was gone, he was speeching like no bodys business. His...
