Hey sorry to be off topic but this is the only way I could contact you. I am writing from Singapore. I am part of a team of fresh college graduates currently working on an online Cricket game called Howzat,due to be launched soon.

Could I invite you for an online gaming session, and you could help provide us feedback and review our efforts? It will take about 15 minutes.

Please e-mail me at aman.gamev@gmail.com if you’re interested. Sincere thanks.

Nicely put Mohan. I am not able to enjoy this champions league hoopla or able to root for any team. The only use for me is mindless cricket while working out at gym.

Whatever happened the old fashioned test series being played at India. Pulling some strings, I was able to maneuver some VIP passes, but there are no matches. If we do not play test cricket for more time, VVS would retire, and would be a disappointment for me.

Chief Administrator at BCCI Rathnakar Shetty seems to agree with you–just today, he has claimed that younger players in Team India weren’t upset when the team was turfed out of CT in SA. His words are,” there seems to be focus other than cricket!!”.

ODI is having lower crowds because people are bored of too much cricket thanks to T20. Even T20 shelf life is going to be low unless the number of tournaments are decreased. Who cares for CLT20?
The 2nd IPL itself saw interest go down. And having World cups every year kills the thrill of winning or longing to win one.

Are we preparing ourselves for a softer blow when the newly crowned One day Champions of the world beat us on our soil, later this month?

I am not that pessimistic.

Our boys have had extra time to replenish their testosterone levels–with or without a spouse– by coming home early from South Africa. So, I expect them to take over the No 1 mantle again.

Awesome piece. When talking about cricket and Bolywood one must not forget Lagaan! Also, I think the latest movie on match fixing is called just 99 and not 1999?

But like you I think ODIs are a thing of the past! it will die a SpacTACular death and be “SMAshed to the boundary line like a TRAcer bulLET”
