Boom Boom McCullum
I have been looking around for the highlights of Brendon McCullum’s hundred against Australia in the 2nd T20 match in the current ongoing series and have finally found it. When I watched the highlights of this match, I was stunned to see his shot selection against the Aussie pace attack. I was amazed by the [...]

Sunday at SSC and a controversial KP dismissal
When England were here for the ODI series in October I was really keen to go and see a match but due to fasting and few other issues I didn't get an opportunity. When England came down again for the Test Matches I really wanted to get out there. 1st Test was played in Kandy [...]

India the first Twenty20 World Champions
What a match it was. It did go down to the wire. But in the end it was India who made their way through to win the first Twenty20 World Cup. The Pakistanis were off to a good start chasing 157 but the run out of Imran Nazir slowed down the proceedings. Lot of singles [...]
