Steve Waugh, according to Cricinfo.com, claims that Test cricket is like a classical chess game.
Waugh must have played some pretty poor chess games, I think. When all the tactics that matter, i.e., pitch tampering, scheduling are decided even before the series starts, it doesn’t qualify even as a chess blitz game as far as the quality of tactics on the field goes.
I support the ICL, especially after the chennai team’s superb ad.
Yudhishtra liked gambling. Fine. Aren’t Nakulan and Sahadevan, sons of Ashwini Kumaras? And these Ashwini Kumaras were sons of Saranya and Surya? And isn’t Saranya also the mother of Yama and therefore, Yudhishtra’s grandmother[1] ?
Now, consider Karnan, Yudhishtra, Nakulan and Sahadevan boys. Karnan’s dad was Surya. Yudhistra’s grandfather was Surya. Nakulan and Sahadevan’s grandfather was Surya too. Tamil pride swells.
[1] — She is not, since Yama and Dharmaraja are two different gods. But that is OK.
that Federer hasn’t won a French Open yet. Even more surprising than the fact that he won 5 Wimbledons.
He lost to the Emperor, Kuerten, in 2004 when he had the best chance to win it.
is the most boring tournament on the ATP tour. No wonder some players hate it so much. Roger Federer provides the only relief by turning up in ridiculous outfits designed to put off his opponents.
While some Grand Slams have even embraced the Sunday start to the championships so the scheduling could be player friendly, Wimbledon insists on not playing even on the middle Sunday because the residents in Wimbledon prefer a quite Sunday afternoon for relaxation.
Perhaps it would be best to shift Wimbledon out of Wimbledon. I can think of Chennai as the best alternative. We can even name it Thalaivar Open. I should start an online petition. I hope the readers of this blog would sign this petition so I can shove it up the queen’s ass. Or the one of better looking girlfriends’ of one of the princes.
I am bored too. Except when I gamble. Gambling is always an attractive option to blogging. Some people keep writing about Bastiat when they can spend that time gambling profitably. I don’t understand that at all. If you have prize money, gamble it!
Were I the Lucasian professor of mathematics, I would be very worried if I had to keep sucking Lucas´s thing. Imagine what would happen if I were the Dayawantiben Professor of Mathematics in Baroda! BEN….! I hope only Miss Universes, Miss Worlds and Miss Asia-Pacifics feel that grateful for their titles.
Yudhishtra was the wisest of the pandavas because he loved gambling. How nice it would be to bet your wife and get a kingdom (and your wife back) in return? Either way, it would have been a win-win situation, as the management gurus call it. How unexciting would the Mahabharata be if no one gambled? Look at the Ramayana. So ho-hum. I mean, except Vali, no one seems to have had much fun.
My other Thatha was a great gambler. Many times, unless Karunanidhi met him on the way and gave him a salvai, he came back home only in his Kovanam. More about Natesa Bhagavathar in future posts.
Avataram needs the Mint. Maanga needs the King.
All is well with the world.
The best slot is in AIR. During the live commentary of a Test match. The kind of people who tune in, are unlikely to listen to the other FM channels when they drive. Captive and what not.
Thanks,

Who is the girl watching your match with your uncle?
RICHARD GASQUET: Not my girl. I don’t know. Not my girl, for sure. No, no, no, I have just friends. Men friends, but I’m not gay.
Long time reader suggests, the Jagadguru should write for this blog. I agree.
I now invite the Maanga community to come up with strategies that will help us achieve the goal.
I won the first street fight of my life. Some passerby said, I should be ashamed of myself for beating a woman. I won the first street fight of my life.
