Joined ICF a week or so after finishing the LOTR series. Liked Gollum the character, very interesting dual personality. Come on he's hot, sexy, piercing eyes, cool hairstyle, funny, great eating manners, refers to himself in 3rd person like Caesar...what's not to like :winky:? He is what Dobby (Harry Potter) should have been but unfortunately swag don't come cheap.

2003, I started browsing random sports forums like crazy for live cricket streams when Dish Network had decided charging 250 dollars for one cricket series in USA and it was hard to watch cricket anywhere for cheap in those days. I start3: my own thing and started showing cricket games on yahoo chat rooms on webcams and came up with cricket related yahoo email id - Cricketics and used the same on numerous cricket forums. Me and my online Indian friends who were sitting in dfferent parts of USA/Canada/Australia/UK, changed the way cricket streaming would be seen from there on. We started our own venture, a website and then went on to start the most popular weebsite among Indian students overseas who couldn’t watch live cricket for cheap.  

 

We were pioneers you can say of the live internet cricket streaming, way before Willow had fully emerged as the biggest website. 

 

Few members on this current website ICF would remember that website as they spent quality time there.

Dobby was Ahmed Shehzad to Gollam's Virat Kohli. No comparison whatsoever my precious.

The stoic man whose mind was a weapon. The one who came before Fedrer the original all court champ. Ever affable Mats.

Wilander ? Surprising first letter. Did you watch any of his matches live ? My earliest memory of tennis is Sampras throwing t shirts after a win, aggasi crying after win and paes winning bronze at Olympics and defeating Agassi. Of course the beautiful steffi graf.

Yeah v was a twist. Bpl TV with buttons for channels no remotes...  Did you know Ramesh Krishnan beat Wilander ( many years later paes beat Leconte in Davis cup)  when he was no 1 not telecast. Before 88 there was no live telecast ( or I don't have recollection lol) I had never seen him in grass but he had won in Australia when it was played in grass.  But 88 was his year that's when I started following tennis he won everything.. Lendil Becker edberg and wilander, Michael chang..lendil was grass court specialist Becker could not play clay but wilander won that too.
