Best and Worst ad during ICL

Now that ICL 20s are over, we can all relax for a day and wait for ICL 20s World Series to start But in the meantime, I thought I’d do a Best and Worst advertisement segment ala Super Bowl. Before I start I have to tell you that I don’t watch much TV except when [...]

Grateful Guests

Lahore Badshahs didn’t lose the final, they gave it away because they didn’t want to be deemed ungrateful guests on their very first outing there. But you have to give them one thing that they had to work really hard to loose to Hyderabad Heroes. I mean what more could you say to the last [...]

One down, one more to go

My Godness was that excellent cricket or what? Whoever said ICL is a senior league should take their words back after today. Now that one of my predictions have come true and Hyderabad Heroes are in the finals, albeit after a very tough game, lets hope that the second semifinal winner will be our own [...]
