[This is a detailed account of that Johannesburg record breaking match between Australia and SA where SA overhauled Australia's 434 run total]
Mike Hussey was all smiles at the lunch break. The team was jubilant and the dressing room resounded with laughter. They had massacred the Springboks, actually beat the living daylights out of their bowlers - 434 for 4 in 50 overs. Lets see them come on to the field now. Time for some more fun. Ponting had an especially toothy smile on his face. He had earned it after his stunning 164 off 105 balls.

[A fictionalized account of India's famous victory at Perth against the Aussies from the perspective of some wildlife]
Lion bearded in its own Perth!
January 26th 2008 06:31
There was rustling in the tall savannah grass - not that the well built antelope grazing intently noticed it. And the rustling was not just at one point either. Streaks of mane, rippling tawny muscles and twitching black tufted tails were to be seen all around the antelope. The lions were a well knit team. The season was going well for them as had the previous ones too.

[Written when Sachin Tendulkar completed two decades of playing and enriching international cricket]
It is that time again, when one scours the mind to get a hold of those elusive adjectives. Well, the adjectives themselves are not elusive. They rather suggest themselves. But the problem is to try and not repeat oneself. To try hard to find new ways to describe the same old genius of Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - and miserably fail. Twenty years of driving headlines and inspiring prose. Making romantic writers out of hard-as-nails former cricketers and jaded cricket correspondents. Twenty years of pleasing almost every cricket fan in every country.
