The Utterly Batterly Delicious Dhoni

Dhood peenaywale ka jawab nahin!


There is no match for the people who drink milk, I suppose.

Dhoni, whose very initial sound bites after he shot into fame, revealed that he drinks almost a litre of milk everyday, has truly put Indian Cricket into different orbit.

In the latest fad of having a blaster as a wicket keeper batsman, Team India has also found one as someone who can challenge dominance of Adam Gilchrist and give a fitting match for Mark Boucher, Kumara Sangakara, Kamran Akmal et al.

Though not always as attractive as those with whom I have bracketed Dhoni with, he is very effective nevertheless.

And the fact that he is very effective without being very attractive in his strokes should bring down the morale of the opponents even more.

It is very difficult to devise a plan to stop someone who is very unorthodox in his ways. You cannot set a field to someone who can cart the ball to any part of the field.

Long ago India had a success story called Green Revolution. Then we had the Blue Revolution when we attained self sufficiency in milk production and we produced AMUL the always young utterly butterly delicious brand.Dhoni, to me, is the AMUL of Indian Cricket.

Dhoni is, Utterly, batterly, delicious.

Dhoni climbs to number three in rankings

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh, the architects of India's ODI series win in Pakistan, have made it to the top ten in the latest ICC rankings for ODI batsmen. Dhoni, who averaged 219 in the series, now occupies the number three slot while Yuvraj, the highest run-getter in the series with 344 runs, is at number nine.

While Adam Gilchrist and Ricky Ponting remain, respectively, the top two, Dhoni's surge has affected the Australian dominance. Prior to the latest rankings, and following the VB Series, the top four slots were occupied by Australian batsmen. Rahul Dravid too moved up a notch to occupy the tenth position.

Irfan Pathan's impressive showing in the series has seen him occupy the fourth place among the bowlers and all-rounders list. Daniel Vettori has moved up two notches to number five among the bowlers.

In the team rankings, India's comprehensive 4-1 series win has placed them at number four, tied with New Zealand at 113 points. Pakistan, meanwhile have slipped to number five. A win in the forthcoming ODI series against England in March-April could propel India to second place. England and Sri Lanka are currently battling for the sixth place. The team that comes seventh will be denied automatic qualification for the Champions Trophy later this year.

Hat Trick - That only tricked to deceive

Hat-trick: a potted history

When Irfan Pathan bowled Mohammad Yousuf with a peach of an inswinger that curled slyly and slipped between bat and pad, the young fast bowler seemed astonished by what he had achieved: a hat-trick. He might be just as surprised to learn that the term for his rare feat entered usage as early as 1858 during a cricket match between an All-England team and Hallam XI at Sheffield's Hyde Park ground. A certain H.H. Stephenson of the All-England team took three wickets in three successive balls and, the story goes, a collection was made on the spot and the proceeds deployed to buy him a hat.

The healthy custom of giving a hat or cap to bowlers who struck thrice in successive deliveries continued for a while, but it took two decades before the word hat-trick was dignified in print. It was first used in a publication to describe the fiery Australian pace bowler Frederick Spofforth's achievement of shattering the stumps of three batsmen in the space of three balls in a match at the Oval in 1878. A year later, `The Demon' became the first man to perform a hat-trick in Test cricket. Thirty-two others have done so since. It's a motley list: some great, some middling, a few who just fluked. But only three men achieved the feat twice: Pakistan's Wasim Akram and Australia's Hugh Trumble and T.J. Mathews (the last did it in both innings of a 1912 match against South Africa).

Hat-tricks, thanks to their statistical rarity, have a premium value. In the 129-year history of Test cricket, they have occurred 36 times — once every 3.58 years. However, this rarity has declined significantly over the past decade, in line with the increase in the number of Tests played. In fact, an astonishing 47.22 per cent of Test hat-tricks have occurred since 1994. The hat-trick is cricket's gift to the vocabulary of sport.

In football and hockey, it occurs when a player scores three goals in a game. Hat-tricks can be bad, as in baseball where they apply to a batter who strikes out thrice in a game. Ice hockey has them too, although with interesting adaptations. Fans acknowledge three goals by a player in one game by throwing hats on to the ice, and one team (Florida Panthers) celebrated hat-tricks by throwing plastic rats — a tradition that revolved round an incident in which a team member rid the locker room of a rodent with his stick before a game.

Ice hockey has yet another variation. The Gordie Howe hat-trick — accomplished by scoring a goal, getting an assist (deflecting the puck towards a scoring teammate), and winning a fight — is named after the celebrated player who was renowned for his speed as much as for his ill-temper.

As a talented Pathan celebrates his hat-trick of hat-tricks — nobody did it before him in the very first over of a cricket Test — India might ponder over another record. It might be eons before a team hat-tricks in the first over and manages to lose the Test by over 300 runs.

Benefits of being from Mars

Some of you might have heard about the famous book "Men are from Mars Women are from Venus". Some of you might have also read that book. I for one, have heard the book, not read it. I mean, I have heard the Audio Book version of that famous book. (Buy this book from Amazon)

The book gives interesting insights into the generally expected behaviour and charasteristics of men and women in various situations and thus gives you invaluable guidance on how to improve your relationship with the other sex.

That is the serious part of the Men and Women relationship.
