About

I run the blog, Velocity, which is basically a mash up of cricket and football. My two leading interests in sports are Sachin Tendulkar and Manchester United, and I follow both with an unwavering passion. To me, they both stand for all that is good and right about modern day professional sport. At a time when sports-persons would find it hard to be role models for a murderer, it is amazing to find men like Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Sachin doing what they do, and still managing to hold a reputation almost unblemished by the tabloid vultures.
And oh yeah, I share my birthday with Rahul Dravid and Bryan Robson, probably my favourite thing about me.

    Hello Anon. I have read your work on BR and have been an admirer of your work when I was not even a member of BR. From what i remember, You were one of the vocal Sachin fans. I have written an article on Sachin recently. Though I doubt it is as good as yours, I would love your feedback.

    hey Anon
    right now we are goign throught chanign times in the world of cricket.

    And test cricket is something that really needs tp be saved. But I am not sure I or you can do it alone. I think we have to start by debating and discusssing this matter.

    So I launch the "Test cricket discussions series. I wrote the first article and am posting it on boards of people who can talk about this with inteligence. I hope you can contribute too
