The Exodus

Siddhartha Vaidyanathan echoes my sentiment in this article. Will miss you guys. And along with it, a part of my life :) Three cheers to Dada, and Jumbo.

Losing my religion, on Cricinfo

Anil Kumble is one of a kind. When asked why he doesn't spin the ball over by more than an inch, when people like Shane Warne turned a yard away, his reply was short: "The distance between the middle of the bat and the edge is one inch."

Dada was a great batsmen, especially against the spinners. But I will always remember Dada as the guy who gave Indian cricket its spine.

Sigh! Yes, I cannot come over the feeling of having a rug pulled out from under..where are my idols? Where are the giants I will watch cricket for again?

Haha! Didn't know you were into cricket. But, yeah, thats true.

But otherwise, the (but for Sachin) new look Indian team is pretty cool. We have so many awesome pace bowlers that there is a long waiting list for any one of them to get into the playing eleven. Same goes for the fielding.

None giants. Not yet. Maybe not ever. Yuvraj could be a Sachin 10 years down if he behaves. Gambhir is pretty talented also. We'll see :)
