About Ankit »

Hi currently I'm struggling through my engineering degree in Australia. I'm crazy about cricket,(just one of the billion Indians) so you'll probably see me writing about cricket more than anything else and i am fairly biased towards them too. Love Liverpool FC and am waiting to see them win a league title sometime real soon. I enjoy reading about sports, be it the history of the sport or the little intricacies.
Apart from that there's not much to me, just going through the rigors of university.

Hey,

Following up yesterday's great debate is the one I've been waiting to write for a long time, and the one I think may be the best debate yet and a must-read for any football fan! Should video technology be introduced into football? Would doing so take away from the 'magic' that makes the game so great? And would it help or hinder the referees? Have your say in the Great Debate!

Cheers,
Barney

Hi mate, I am also a cricket fan but more football for me. But I have not written any cricket articles as there is so much to write about for Liverpool and footy. Might dabble into the cricket writing too though.

Thanks for your comments.

Hey Ankit, in what I hope to be a new feature to the site, I've written a comprehensive biography of France Legend Michel Platini, it's long so I can understand if you don't have the time to look at it but otherwise I'd really appreciate your opinion on it.

Hi Ankit,

For long I have enjoyed female commentators on the tennis front.

So, wrote one on the male bastion in the com box in cricket.
