Cricket And All That: This Ranji Trophy, focus on the player and not the team
http://stickywicketstuff.blogspot.com/2011/11/this-ranji-trophy-focus-on-player-and.html
Cricket And All That. Tuesday, November 1, 2011. This Ranji Trophy, focus on the player and not the team. I wrote this piece on the Ranji trophy for www.sportshero.com. Here it is on the blog. This Ranji tournament will not be about the teams. It will be about the players grafting their way to play for India. And the player has to realize that before it is too late. Posted by Jayadev Calamur. November 1, 2011 at 11:30 PM. Wow we are waiting to watch next series. Great cricket is most favourite game.

Cricket And All That: June 2011
http://stickywicketstuff.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Cricket And All That. Wednesday, June 29, 2011. I speak of that series with fondness because I feel sad for West Indies. Today, despite loving the game, I can't watch a series that involves the West Indies anymore. There was a time where i'd sit up and watch a test match till 3 am and go to sleep because it was fun. If the West Indies are scrapped of test status, maybe. It'll be good for them to rethink their game. Posted by Jayadev Calamur. Wednesday, June 8, 2011. Throwing a game away in cricket for mo...

Cricket And All That: October 2010

Cricket And All That. Saturday, October 16, 2010. The ass-kissing Sachin fan. That was three years ago and today Sachin plays shots like that all the time. He's been Bradmanesque and remarkable. We all know what he's done over the years and he had nothing to prove to anyone, but nonetheless he just went on like a machine on overdrive and produced century after century and now he's just three away from 100 international centuries.

Cricket And All That: March 2011
http://stickywicketstuff.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Cricket And All That. Thursday, March 31, 2011. I've probably wet my pants watching this game. A billion rays to another billion emotions was what India witnessed in this match. It's something surreal and I'm glad that I was part of this. Hell, I even danced on the road after India won. But I spare a thought for Pakistan. They came into this World Cup with no hope. I'll had it to Afridi. He's led a side well and has formed a good combination with his former team mate, Waqar Younis. India-Pak: a fan view.

Cricket And All That: January 2012
http://stickywicketstuff.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Cricket And All That. Saturday, January 28, 2012. Time to be tough. And then we went and lost 4-0 to both, England and Australia. But then, that has always been the way India has played its cricket. Whenever you look at the way that we've played, there has been a period of high and then a massive dip. Indian cricket is like a sound wave, if it were to put it metaphorically. If the BCCI and the players continue to hibernate and. Be indisciplined, don't be surprised if you see Bangladesh. Time to be tough.

Cricket And All That: A roller coaster fortnight.
http://stickywicketstuff.blogspot.com/2011/11/roller-coaster-fortnight.html
Cricket And All That. Sunday, November 20, 2011. A roller coaster fortnight. Cricket is unpredictable. We've seen that time and time again. The sport that we've dubbed the gentleman's game is in reality, a game made of paranoid schizophrenics, who can alter a game just like that *snaps a finger*. The last fortnight has seen that there is as much of madness off the field than there is on it. Having said that, it will be interesting to see what the High Court decides regarding Azhar's alleged involvement&#...

Cricket And All That: December 2010
http://stickywicketstuff.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Cricket And All That. Wednesday, December 15, 2010. Rankings and test cricket. A lot of people are calling it India's final frontier. Ever since the Indian cricket team were ranked number 1 by the ICC, the expectations have obviously gone higher. So where does this leave them in the series against South Africa? I'm looking forward to this test series. India's fast bowlers have always done well abroad. Hell, someone like Venkatesh Prasad managed a 10 wicket haul against South Africa in 1997, so it...We're...

http://stickywicketstuff.blogspot.com/2011/09/bcci-blues.html
Cricket And All That. Saturday, September 17, 2011. The last time India did so badly in an away series was in 1999 when they went to Australia. They did slightly better over there, as they won one international game against Pakistan. In this series, the only victory was during the practice matches. What went wrong for India? Overworked: Don't be surprised if. Dhoni decides to retire in 2 years. We have a board that wants money. The BCCI is the richest board in the world. It believes that because ...Furth...
