Paddy Padmanaban

Paddy Padmanaban is a resident of Melbourne, Australia. His main focus in his life has been travel, while his work (IT) has been a good funding mechanism. Paddy (and his wife) have travelled to various destinations including some exotic ones like Mongolia, Siberia, Alaska and the usual suspects like Europe, America etc. Cricket is his current religion.

Soundarajan Iyer

Soundar works in Melbourne for a global giant whose acronym is rumoured to stand for I‘ve Been Moved/Married/Messed with.

Soundar plays for the Roxburgh Park CC as a ‘keeper-cum-opening bat. Apart from being right handed, the only other similarity he shares with his hero K.Srikkanth is the latter’s rumoured tendency to hum Bhairavi at the crease. This has been known to provoke the slip cordon to sledge

“..sounds like you’re already in pain, mate. Wait till we test your helmet!”

He also indulges his resident Walter Mitty by singing bhava laden if technically imperfect versions of Sanjay Subrahmanyan’s Chidambaram Kshetra-kritis to an exclusive audience that’s fast losing interest-his growing children who may not need lullabies for much longer.

    Hey,

    Just read some of the contributions from Mohan - apprehensively looking forward to the World Cup.

    I just hope India doesn’t come out all guns blazing and then fizz out!

    Will add my two cents worth - on a regular basis. RB

    Just reading an interesting article from Darren Berry on the state of international cricket versus Australian Domestic scene http://www.theage.com.au/news/cricket/australia-is-domestic-bliss-next-to-tests/2007/12/01/1196394689340.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1

    While I agree with majority of his article - I am hoping someone in the Indian Cricket “brainstrust” reads his article and starts to psyche the players up with what has been written about the Indians. Darren writes “India arrives shortly for a four Test series on its A-frames and walking sticks.”

    If these comments can’t inspire the Indians to “whoop some Aussie butt”, I seriously don’t know what will.

    Hi guys,

    Thank God someone picked up on the article. Just for your interest, I actually emailed Russell Gould about the article and he responded! I must admit I was pretty much banging my head against the wall when I read it.

    Virendar Sehwags 150 odd was a superbly controlled innings - probably one i would rate as his best. Apart from the fact that it was played when the team needed it - his level of astute judgement on leaving the ball outside the off stump was phenomenal. Deciding to do away with aerial drives sqaure of the wicket, in this particularly crucial situation was (and is) but an ode to the maturity of his temperament. He seems to have definitely imrpoved considerably since his last series. The overall result of the series does not pain the whole picture however. I was in complete agreement with Kumble when he said that Team India have been one of the few teams that have consistently challenged the Australians on their home turf (since the 1999 seriesof course).

    A MUST READ!

    Gilchrist defends Dhoni’s ‘illegal’ gloves

    WEB SPINNER: Match referee Jeff Crowe had noted the webbings of Dhoni’s gloves were unusual and illegal.
    Melbourne: Australian vice-captain and wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist came out in support of Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s stumping gloves saying they are the best in the world, the media reported Friday.

    Both Gilchrist and Dhoni use the same hand-stitched gloves manufactured by India’s Sunrising Sportings Goods. The only difference is that Gilchrist’s gloves are re-branded by the Puma logo.

    “I know the gentleman that makes them (gloves) and they’re the best in the world, they’re brilliant. Maybe in the manufacturing process — they’re all hand-made and hand-stitched — so they may have just used a little bit too much leather in that area,” The Age quoted Gilchrist as saying.

    “I have absolutely no doubt that he (Dhoni) hasn’t intentionally done that and tried to get away or pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. We’re spoiled for choice, we just get gear, you put it on, you train in it. So I don’t think they were glaringly obvious to be different to what, say, I use or anyone else at the moment, or what is legal at the moment,” he added.

    Dhoni’s gloves attracted attention of match referee Jeff Crowe, who noted that the webbings of his gloves were unusual and illegal.
