WASP: Where is my Baygon spray! Will IPL auctions get impacted?

55%, 32%, 42%, 16%, 32%, 11%…. no these are not discount rates. These numbers are predictors which will answer one of the question which many cricket follower could not accurately tell during the game “Who is winning?”


WASP


Sky Sports is using a research from University of Canterbury, a tool to predict the likely number of runs a team in score in first inning and the chances for team batting second to win. This tool is been used for limited overs cricket. This predictor goes by the term W.A.S.P (wi...

Step into the 22 – an ode to a fan

Are we alone and aim for success for our self, and claim all credit when we win. Or are there people behind us rooting for our success, like our parents, family, friends and fans. They make us believe in our dream… they are there when we are sad and down. They see our tears and cry alone for us, and pray in silence… for our success.


This poem is dedicated not only to the Pune Warriors team, but also to all of us who have to keep rising and face the challenge of the world – in life, in exams, i...

Its not a win, its the way one’s win! Pune have to reach CSK standard… wait make its own SIVAJI Standard

Pune has won… Dada has won. But wait! Last time also Pune won the first two game sand then everything went down form there. But that was last year and a memory.


In these two games the team is wining, and has beenled from the front by S.G aka Dada. In the last game ifelt that the combinationwasnot right and some tweak is needed. I had expected Tamim and Ryder to open…. ok Ryder and Dada looks ok for now. Rydercan bedangerous when he gets his confidence and DADA gave him overs to ball to get his...

Dada – Showed why multiple captain theory of KKR Buchanan was stupid!!!!!

They said they were the underdogs….


They said he did not have chance….


All called for his retirement…


His home team did not pick him up!


Well they alwayssaid that…. but the Bengal Tiger showed his burning bright eyes what a CAPTAIN he is…. for PUNE WARRIORS.


Pune Warrior scoring a low 130 score, and it looked done and dusted. But Jadejasaid if Mumbai is 24/3 like Pune, Ganguly will not let it go! And he was right.


Gangulykept a slip on despite the low score and the second over Dindagave a ball, whi...

Where was Shakib Al Hasan? Time to call Bob Biswas to the rescue?

M de Lange vs Shakib Al Hasan. The East Bengal Tigers, mauled the Indians, Sri lankans and almost the Pakitanis in the recently concluded Asia cup. Shakib Al Hasan should have been playing, but the KKR manament went for M de Lange the fast bowler, whose economy rate was more then 9. He gave away 36 runs in 3 overs. The reason to pick him – well the same reason Buchanan wanted the multiple captains in IPL2, just to remove Dada. This iscalled theGSKA Syndrome. Shakib Al Hasan also appeals now i...

Game 1: CSK vs MI – Booooringgggg!!!!! Kya C%^%#pa Hai?

The highlight of today’s game was the ‘electronic mosquito trap’. I have shocked around 15 of them (don’t know their gender), andsay them go up in smoke. That was the only excitementI got today.


The key takeawayfrom the game was the 50%+ empty stadium. The first game….in the championsplace…and people don’t show up. And the rest 40% crowd which come half of them may behaving passes or entourage from the sponsors.


Is IPLgoing to be a success? I hope so… it is a different concept and brings player...

Tendulkar RUNOUT- but he was and he did.

I dontknow where to go now… I am sick and I am tired. There is frustration. SRTlet a Lanka batsman go for the spirit of the game, but forgot how Suraj(the other) Randivdid a no-ball (A BIGGGGone), to stop Sehwagcentury, or the lie Sangakaradid at the toss…. facial recoginitiontechnolgoyfor lies should be used it would have been known he was lying.


And and this happens below:


6.6 Lee to Gambhir, this is going to get very nasty. Tendulkaris runout, but Lee was in his way as he ran through. Back...

Born February 24, 1992, Feilding….and what a CATCH!!!!!!

Bevan Small, has become an instant starin a NZ Big Bash 20-20 game.

He came in as a 12th man

The opponent partnership at 74 from 64 runs

The opposition score at 81/1


He jumped, flew and played his part in the best assist catch…… of cricket may be. Just watch video and feel amazed.



And yes he was born in Feilding – New Zealand and has two first class games only :)


What a catch!!!!

But the real story is our Big Kohl was promoting the movie Players. The movie is releasing this week, and with the various kind of promotion going on this was a unique way to rea...
