About

A cricket traditionalist by heart - I get more pleasure watching 2700 balls of competitive cricket over 5 days than a blitzkrieg T-20. A wannabe cricket historian as well.

I'm a firm believer of the fact that captaincy is an art, and its a pity we don't see too many keen students of the game today at the International level. Hence, anyone who rubbishes over MSD when India isn't doing too well gets on to my nerve - I believe he's one of the better captains I've seen in a long long time.

Short List

  • Favorite Athletes

    Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis, AB De Villiers, Brendon McCullum, Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso, Fernando Torres, Robert Kubica

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    Indian cricket team, Liverpool FC, Chennai Superkings, New England Patriots (when I used to follow the NFL)

  • Favorite Coaches

    Rafael Benitez, Bob Woolmer

  • All-Time Sports Moment

    India winning T20 world cup 2007, Liverpool beating AC Millan Champions league final 2005, Freddie Flintoff consoling a distraught Brett Lee after Edgbangston 2005 (I'm sure he said "Now it's 1-1 you Aussie b******")

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    India vs South Africa - Chennai 2008 - Dravid crossed 10000 test runs, and Viru scored 319, Silverstone GP 2009 (simply for the fact that it was my first F1 experience)

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    Andrew Symonds' 7+ lives in the Sydney Test between India and Australia in 2008

  • Pele or Maradona?

  • Federer or Sampras?

    Hey,

    It's a tiny bit late as it took longer than expected to write it, but my review of 2009 is finally here! Last year's one won the AOTD award and hopefully I've done enough on this one to equal that feat, but I'll leave you to be the judge of that!

    With 25 great moments from 12 different sports, and with everyone from Barcelona to France, the Yankees to the Lakers, and Usain Bolt to Tiger Woods there is something for everyone in this slideshow, plus a ranked top ten as the final slide!

    If you get a chance would you mind checking it out? Cheers!
