A letter to Brendon McCullum.

Dear Bazz,                    I am a true Indian team fan as I'm a native of India but i'm no less Kiwi fan. Well, the world cup is in the midway. Your guys have performed sensibly good in all departments. You are one of the hosts, so the critics say you do stand a chance to win this world cup along with Australia & the mighty South Africa. Australia might have won 4 times but your team, as a whole unit, is no less mightier. Let's start with you. I've watched you since the first day of IPL when you wrecked havoc. Until then i'd never seen somebody dancing down the track & hitting six to fast bowlers in a fearless manner. Not once or twice but several times. I was completely awestruck with your timing whenever you swing your bat like a samurai does with his sword. Perharps, you and AB de Villiers are the most outstanding batsmen playing in an unorthodox way. I really did not care to see yo...

The World XI.

Let's make some space on the table. A pen & a few papers. Mind, now uncluttered. Ready to jot down the best XI cricket players, playing 2015 World Cup. Not in an anachronistic order but in a  chronological order. Its always has been an herculean task for picking up the best around the world. I may possibly get stuck somewhere & for that i might end up adding four more players, making it 15. Pen in between my thumb & index finger. Sleeves rolled up. A clean sheet. 1) Hashim Amla- Have you lately noticed a beard guy of South African team, breaking fastest 2000, 3000,4000, 5000 runs in a short span of 108 matches? He is the epitome of consistency, breaking Ab's, Virat's & Sir Viv Richard's record. He is a run machine. He is my No.1 spot. He is irreplaceable. Matches-108 Runs-5370 Avge- 55.93 Nick name: The Great African Wall. 2) Brendon McCullum- The New Zealander of the year,The Captain of the black caps,the man with tremendous fast hands & the o...

Goal: The dream begins

The story is about a young chap who is an ardent football fan, buff, freak or an enthusiast. The name's Santiago Munez. Yes, spanish. Not Spanish Spanish. He is Mexican Spanish. He had been through poverty since his childhood. His father had some tough times. Escaping their family from Mexico to LA. As you know in the drug entrenched zones, either somebody from the cartel shoots you off or end up in jail. Sant's mom walked out on their family which his father had to face the status quo. Santiago's father never thought his children to live beyond their small truck business. But little did he know his elder son whose back of mind was brewing strong urge to play football at the highest level. The passion was right intact since his childhood days. The extremely talented footballer Santiago meets Glenfoy who watches him play at a local suburb's playground. Glenfoy assures him to move to England where he could possibly have tests for the Club New Castle. Despite Santiago...
