PaPPa of world Cricket

Sachin.. Sach in... Sach..in...... Well we have got couple of cricket matches more and then we would be plunged into a dark abyss with nothing to live for apart from those YouTube clips, those ESPN shows of earlier matches broadcasts.

Dont know whether we would have a new GOD of cricket after this, definitely for now a void has been created. 

We really are lucky that we have grown up watching him playing & achieving almost all the milestones. In a rapidly changing world, SRT has remained the only constant.

Lahli witnessed SRT bidding his first-class career a goodbye leading Mumbai to win with his master class 79*.  Battling alone there refreshed memory of 90s.  Very rarely people would have followed a Ranji match like this one.

Two more opportunities.. time to get glued to TV screen..  [ n Office ... Phew.. i guess everyone knows there :) ]

What Brazil is to football, when on song Windies are nothing less to cricket. Raw lethal power, sheer elegance, meaty clean muscled maximums ....... they do it with style .. dancing and making the crowd all across the word dance to their tunes. Ahem.....Brutal dictators of shorter version extravaganza.

I wonder, this IPL or any shorter version league would be so incomplete without them.  Be it Gayle.. Bravo .. Pollard ... Narine ... Kooper .. Smith.. Sammy ... Samuels... 

At the height of their prowess, they are simply an eye treat to watch..

Wish them good luck for the future ahead, and yeah dont forget to make them power player ( if u play  fantasy, or else u would repent)

HATS OFF JAMMY !

There has been lot of writings about the wall, his classy batsmanship, his strong and mighty defence.. I want to focus on the other side of R S Dravid.  What's special with this season RR .. their NAYI SOCH thinking.. Whether it be Fielding 5 pacers... Rahane slow but sound start.. Starting with Chandila .. Sending young Yagnik ahead of Dravid .. Samuel cameo.. their is something new everytimes RR walks to field and that too done by our Indian young guys ( Very rarely seen in IPL so far )

Shane warne has done it earlier way back in the first season , but not to forget he had the likes of Sohail Tanveer, Watso, Yusuf Pathan ( His lethal best so far :) ) , SRJ and the great Shane warne himself. Not taking anything from him, but Dravid is really doing it royal way. Promoting young guys, giving them confidence..... truly re writing the meaning of IPL. 

JOKERS.... Aren't they?

Hmm.. JOKERS... A perfect description for the national selectors. Many heroes of their time have been part of that committee but looks like this post is more suited for a Joker, be it anyone.

I wouldnt go much back. Before Australia series of India 2013, Exclusion of Gambhir was ok, but funniest part was "Who replaced him???" Vijay and Dhawan. I am not doubting their caliber but if selectors going by performance then why not WASIM JAFFER.. Tons of runs in the domestic season.. what does he need extra to prove? Well age certainly is not a factor, Given Sachin Pa is playing at the age of 40, and He is just 35 now.

And then retaining Bhajji, Ishant on the basis of performance and throwing out Viru.. and saying we are looking for south africa later this year. How does it make sense? 

India Cherishes

What an inning ! 24th Feb 2013,  Chepauk and Whole India witnessed a master class inning. After Master departed, A Hero from Ranchi came and created a masterpiece. He made the chepauk dancing on his melodious strokes as whole world witnessed only one rock star standing - MS Dhoni.



A double hundred in two-and-a-half sessions on a crumbling pitch doesn't happen too often, and it had to be Dhoni 224 who could dish out the superhuman entertainment package.

Well.. It goes very near to the heroics done in 2001.

Very very special Laxman wrote history books that day. An epic story of a superb artist. Priceless 281 and he showed "KHAM THOK THELTA HAI JAB NAR, PARVAT KE JAATE PAANV UKHAD.. MAANAV JAB JOR LAGATA HAI ... PATHTHAR PAANI BAN JAATA HAI" This was kohinoor of the innings i have seen.



Two master innings. Both will be remembered for their CLASS and CLASSY HERO

मेरे पापा (श्री देवकी नंदन मिश्र ) द्वारा लिखित यह कविता बचपन से हम सुनते आ रहे हैं।
अद्भुत वीर रस से पूरित यह कविता १९६१-६२ भारत चीन युद्ध पर आधारित है।

----------------------------------

दसो नोह ज़ोर शारदा से करी अर्जी हम कलम के बनायी आज हमरा लौर दा
ख़ौरे दा मुदई के हमरा के नीके से नाही ता हमरा के निपटे ख़ौर दा बहुत गीत गवनी अब गाइब लौटला पे भारत माता के बचाए के हमारा मौर दा

कलम बर्दााई के तेज बनल नाच उठल भाला मतवाला बा ऐंठत परताप के चेतक चिनहात हिनहिनात बाटे इरखा पे पेकिंग डर मानता पोरस के ताप के मकमोहन बूझअ ता लक्ष्मण के पारल हा .. लाँघी से काहे ना खून फेंक मार जाई
भारत माता के जे चाही चोरवाल ता काहे ना रावण फतिंगास जर जाइ

लागि केहुनाठ जामवंत हनुमंत के ता। . भूभुर भर भुरकुस में पेट कुनिये पड जाई
कैलो अनेत भला निबहे ला जिंदगी भर। . छू दिहले पंजरी चराक दे चरक जाई

लगा के मुल्तानी पटाक से पटक देम। . पाइब अकेला में चाहे दुकेला में
सहका जन . लउर जो उठाईब त हुमच के हुरवठ देम डाल के घघेला में !!

जैसे कुकुर बिलाई के भभौरे ला। . केतनो केंकियाब बाकी भाभोर देब !
चेला जी. गुरु पे लंगी लगाइबा ता धईला पे चिन्हब न.. लादे खखोर देब !!

Waiting for the God

21 yrs back, i started watching this guy  in australia, a fearless young dashing and strokeful master blaster in the making and the world witnessed it, I really consider myself lucky that i have been a part of his beautiful journey(though virtually) .  Cricket became addiction because of this legend. Not sure about others, but i dont know what will i do when the master will stop playing.


Last few series have been a bad phase. We really want this to get over as soon as possible. We have been waiting sir , please make us privileged with your special knocks, your glorious straight drives.

Is CA Pujara the new Wall

The way he plays, the way he consolidates, the way he drives .... very much similar to the wall... but is it the right time to declare him or rather accept him as a new wall.. perhaps not.. he needs to be tested in overseas condition..

Know all the facts

One old man was sitting with his 25 years old son in the train. Train is about to leave the station. All passengers are settling down their seat. As train started young man was filled with lot of joy and curiosity. He was sitting on the window side. He went out one hand and feeling the passing air. He shouted, "Papa see all trees are going behind". Old man smile and admired son feelings. Beside the young man one couple was sitting and listing all the conversion between father and son. They were little awkward the attitude of 25 years old man behaving like a small child.

Suddenly young man again shouted, "Papa see the pond and animals. Clouds are moving with train". Couple was watching the young man in embarrassingly. Now its start raining and some of water drops touches the young man's hand. He filled with joy and he closed the eyes. He shouted again," Papa it's raining, water is touching me, see papa". Couple couldn't help themselves and ask to old man. Why don't you visit the Doctor and get treated your son.
Old man said," Yes, We were coming from hospital only. Today only my son got the eyes first time in life".

mere dil ki dhadkan ne chupke se kal raat mujhe ek baat kahi
ek haseen raat ki jajbaat kahi
ki main hoon yahan jab gumshum akela
usne chupke se kal raat mujhe ek baat kahi

aankhon ki nami mein khaamosh uski woh palken
chehre ki sihran badhaati uski woh zulfen
dil ki vaadiyon mein khoya huva tha jab aaj ka savera
usne chupke se kal raat mujhe ek baat kahi

sharmaaye hamari najar unke ehsaas se
jhuke huve unke najron ke libaas se
sannataa cheerti huvi us shaam-e-khaas mein
usne chupke se kal raat mujhse ek baat kahi

uski baaton ne kiya kuchh aisa asar.. pal gujre banke saari umar

ab tanha se hai hum aur unki woh baat hai
ab khoobsurat har waqt hai aur unki yaad hai.
