I am a fan of Amul, as are most of us here. They have this way of coming up with deliciously funny hoardings, they call topicals.

Acting how he does, Sreesanth was bound to get some screen time from them.




After praising his dancing skills (after the six against South Africa)...









...Amul now, tells him to stay calm!





Though many would agree with Amul, they would also accept that this report goes over the top(much like Sree himself), when it says this!

"If Andrew Symonds wasn't such a gentle fellow, India's Shanthakumaran Sreesanth's nose would probably be plastered all over his leering face.

The Hindu and occasionally Christian bowler can thank all his gods that the secular Queenslander is a man of peace and tranquility."

As much as I like our ex-president for the great things he has done, including funky hairdos, making nuclear bombs and writing books(in decreasing order of greatness), this post is not about his vision for the superpower that India would be in 2020.

There are certain quaint connections though. He loves the youth of the nation. And I love them even more. Indeed, I am a huge fan of them. They rule. (Wow. It feels good to inflate the ego!). And this is about them.

This is a 'Vision' of '20 20' world cup finals as soaked in by the highly evolved, intellectually superior, all powerful and magnificiently sublime life forms who reside in the hostels of NIT, Surat.(Seriously, this does feel good!)



The Match. House-full.
We won.
The discussions would no doubt follow.....and the game would be torn apart into little pieces and put under a microscope.
Awards Ceremony. House-notsofull.

Every great story has a certain someone in pain. MNH is our man. Firmly seated cross-legged he quietly contemplated his misfortune. He missed the last ball.

The pain.

I know the photos are not good. Also it does no justice to the actual joyous chaos, seconds into the victory. But in my defense, the superior life form that I am(Really, this is so good. I am getting addicted to it), I was actually taking a video which captured the event more juicily.

Meanwhile, the Indian in Mexico, is still in the lead after round 11. He won thrice. Things are looking good.

In the dangerously cricket infected times and regions we live in, may I point you to an Indian winning elsewhere. It might irritate people how I even mention chess when I should be talking about kiwis, tigers and kookaburras. But I am not a huge fan of animals. Much less of birds. I do like chicks though. But of a different kind.

It pains me, just as it does SK, how the media hugely disregards chess. Especially when Anand seems to be on the way to winning the World Chess Championship at Mexico. He has won twice, and is in the solo lead now.

P.S. The games are webcasted live here.
