MS Dhoni perhaps can’t blame his bowlers for almost losing the match they had in their pockets. He trimmed down the attack to its bare minimum strength — he went into the match with just three regular bowlers and without a specialist spinner — but the bowlers just about held their own to script a [...]
Rather surprisingly, perhaps, it isn’t: England lost 11 successive one-day internationals to various opponents in 2000 and 2001. It’s not even England’s worst run against Australia - between February 1999 and March 2003 Australia won 11 successive ODIs against England.

It’s not unlike those fighters v boxers debates that have divided readers of The Ring for decades. This is the era of the batsman as street fighter, as personified by Sehwag and MS Dhoni. The stakes dictate it. Garry Sobers was Muhammad Ali and Viv Richards was Sugar Ray Leonard: violence as dance. In the [...]

Raja Ravi Varma (1848 - 1906) was a great artist who brought Indian painting to the attention of the world. His magnificent paintings shine still in their undying glory. There is no doubt that they will continue to do so in the coming centuries, triumphing over the rigorous test of time. Ravi Varma added a [...]
The Biggest-cat’s finally had a chance to get his paws on a good electric guitar processor, the Digitech RP250 Guitar Modelling Processor. A Guitar processor is nothing but an electronic sound modeller. The raw input signals coming from the electric guitar are taken by this lethal piece of hardware, modified and processed in real-time. So, [...]
Biggest cat was just doing some regular old good old routine video surfing on youtube and he saw on the local Indian page a recommended featured video about a band playing a song called “Fields of Sound”. Fascinated by the name of the song biggest cat went ahead watching the video and found that the [...]
Biggest Cat always admired the sport in Adam Gilchrist the former australian wicketkeeper who was swashbuckler. He was responsible for revolutionising wicket-keeper Batsmanship all through his career.He really was honest but was carried away by the aussie attitude in the some of the matches.
