R.I.P Amy

leave a comment »

Its sad and shocking to read about Amy’s untimely demise in a car accident. Its just plain shocking that one of the best and ardent blogger is no more with us. She updated her blog more than once a day and it was refreshing to read her.
God Bless her soul and she rest in peace.
She would be really missed.
I m at loss of words. I wont say a word more.

Vinod Kambli retires to concentrate on his media career

with one comment

Not that it matters anyway, but fed up of ignorance and cold shoulder talented Mumbai batsman Vinod Kambli has announced his retirement from international cricket. Ah really ? Did he even have to declare ? He would continue to play domestic cricket for some lesser known clubs in suburb club cricket, may be in Cotton Green or Bhandup or Dharavi. It was also learnt that few clubs from Chinchpokli and Masjid Bandar have lined up to sign him for the 10-10 gully cricket. Wadala was the last club who was mulling to sign Kambli for their pre-Ganpati festival dance and dhamaka show.

Naupada and Kulupwadi galli cricket association too have showed interest in Kambli’s profile. We at Arm Ball wish VK a very good luck in upcoming Dahi Handi (oops it was banned), Ganpati processions dancing over Mithun and Prabhu Deva patti rap songs, club cricket in less known suburbs and least not the last in the reality shows of India TV, Aaj Tak and Tehelka.

Moving Base……..

with one comment

I am moving my base from India to a location where cricket is not followed at all. No live coverage, no cricket played. In such a scenario continuing the blog would be a challenge. No i am not running away from blog. Cricket is a passion, its a life, its a healing and its in the veins. So is this blog.

20000 hits to this blog is a huge high to me. I get this without gulping a Olifant or Long Island coffee or not even Shakeela.

This blog is about cricket. My individual preferences do come in picture. I am not neutral or one who wants to write goody stuff. people might get a picture i hate some country, that is a myth. I always believe attack the opinion, reason argue it, not the person, not the blogger within. And when you disagree do not quote “lack of facts” or “data isnt there”.

I have got strong memories and here is a challenge. Ask me any incident in Indian cricket from 1985 – 2009,, i would recall it for you. Every game India played in this duration, every victory, every loss, every series, every thing related to this era. And i wont even refer the sites. I would just query my database, run a select query, publish the result sets and commit the transaction.

So the blog would continue. Ripping apart Butt’s butt, ridiculing Badri Dabri, DK, supporting ST, RD, MS, VS and GG would continue. Supporting Aussies would go on despite Ponting. This would continue to be what it is. A cricket blog. No matter if i am in India or Hong Kong or France. Cricket would find a way back in my life , no TV or TV.

There would be a lull over the weekend on this blog. Not that people would miss it. Just notifying in advance so that people do not feel I vanished like team feeling for MoYo.

Match fixing on ?

with 2 comments

Is it true ? I dont think so. Neither would sane cricket fan think so its being on. I read it on one of the blogs that an ex-captain of an ongoing Test series is involved in match fixing. That comment came from one of the fan cum blogger.

Match fixing in this age? When the media scrutiny is highest match fixing would still be on ?

Why dont we accept defeat in grace and not jump to extreme opinions. Its clearly visible that the reason for that collapses isnt any match fixing but simple lack of application. Simple lack of application of cricketing basics. Thats it. Nothing less, nothing more.

I seriously wish those fans get well soon…..

Accepting the realities.

with one comment

When the harsh realities are penned out, the logic and the sense jump out of the window. In comes the jingoism and vandalism…..Accepting hard facts is something which doesnt come easy for most of us. But those who do, the life becomes sweeter after that. Living in denial never helps, the best way to overcome a problem is to accept its existence and overcome it by taking it heads-on…..

Question is how many of us want to do it ?
