How to spend a Honeymoon
Mar. 10 | I love my sport and have never shied away from slipping in a game when I have traveled. Family Holidays in Orlando, work trips to the West Coast and of course a New York Mets baseball game when I attended the wedding of my good mate Luge Pravda last...
World Cup Day 19 –not quite as comfortable as it should have been
Mar. 10 | The Indian team found themselves chasing a modest 199 in today’s Group B match against the Netherlands on a pretty slow, lifeless Delhi pitch. With a top order that includes Sehwag, Tendulkar, Kohli, Dhoni, this should have been pretty regulation. In...
World Cup Day 17 – Clash of the titans it wasn’t
Mar. 7 | In a game of such low standard which was more akin to a county second XI game than a World Cup game, Canada posted their first win, beating Kenya by five wickets in Delhi today. Canada’s bowling was pretty tight and they bowled Kenya out for a below...

World Cup Day 12 – I’m not sure where to start…………..
Mar. 2 | This is my 4th attempt to write this report. I’m still staggered, simply staggered by what I saw today. In case you’ve been on a long haul flight from Tasmania and hadn’t heard: Ireland beat England today in their Group B match in Bangalore. Nope...
World Cup Day 11 Another day another hat-trick Another horrible mismatched game
Mar. 1 | This time between Sri Lanka and Kenya. SRI Lanka’s Lasith Malinga became the first man to pick up two hat-tricks in World Cups when he skittled the three Kenyan tailenders in today’s Group A match.Malinga, took the wickets of Tanmay Mishra (0),...
