Bhajji hits Sreeshant - Sreeshant cries

Bhajjis is banned for 11 matches so will lose 3crs as well as the rest of the tournament. Its high time cricketers like Bhajji are disciplined. In of the the first videos in this site, Bhajji had a tiff with the New Zealand custom officers for bringing in dirty cricket shoes. He had told the NZ officers "Come to India and we will show you". The Mumbai Indians slogan Duniya hila denge hum is now making a lot of sense. Bhajji ne Duniya hile de hain.

India Australia 7th ODI

A forgettable series has come to an end with a consolation win engineered by the tail enders. It speaks volumes of the India's batting depth where a low score cannot be chased by the top order batsmen.

India-Pakistan Twenty20 Final Highlights

What a match!!!. It could've gone either way. Twenty20 is the curse of the 21st century for bowlers. BCCI has announced an award of 2Million dollars for the team and another $250k for Yuraj, plus a Porsche 911. The real test is on Sept 28th when Australia play India in Bangalore to begin the one day series.

Twenty20 India - Australia Semifinal

Incredible victory for the Indians. T20 is anybody's game. Lalit Modi announced an bonus of $1Million for the team and said he is gifting Yuvraj a Porsche 911. Not sure if that's his own money or the BCCI. ICL is sure having its effect on BCCI to loosen their purse strings.

Yuvraj 70/30. Brilliant batting.



Aussie wickets. Sreeshant was just brilliant and so was Bhajji and RP singh
