Peyton Manning & WHO DAT

Peyton Manning, after living a full life, died and went to heaven. When he got to heaven, God was showing him around. They came to a modest little house with a faded Colts flag in the window. "This house is yours for eternity,Peyton", said God. "This is very special not everyone gets a house up here."
Peyton felt very special, indeed, and walked up to his house. On his way up to the porch, he noticed another house just around the corner. It was a 3-story mansion with a black and gold sidewalk a 50 foot tall flag pole with an enormous Saints logo flag and in every window a New Orleans Saints towel.
Peyton looked at God and said "God I'm not trying to be ungrateful but I have a question I was an all-pro QB I hold many NFL records and I even went to the Hall of Fame."
God said "So what's your point Peyton ?"
"Well why does Drew Brees get a better house than me?"
God chuckled and said "Peyton that's not Drew's house, its mine"

Murali the spinner the controversy

I have always been a Strong critic of Murali's bowling action. After seeing this video I have come to understand what it is in reality. He has natural limitations in his elbow and extraordinary range in his wrists by birth. Also the studies show that what we see as chucking is in fact an optical illusion. I really feel sorry for the way I thought about him, and have started to appreciate his craft. I hope he plays for long and display more of his craft.

Bring back "The god"




With lone opener in Gautham Gambhir and inexperienced middle order which has no clue against the M2 duo (Murali & Mendis), its high time we get some expert in spin. Even though Ganguly and Dravid struggled against Mendis in the test series, they are better known to read spin quickly than anyone else in the current team. I can hear Vengsarkar and co. whinig "young blood..... old people no fielding.... yada yada yada....". But they should have minimum one senior member (sachin or dravid or ganguly or Laxman) in the team all the time, not just for guiding, but because they are the only people who have proved that they can score in all continents (some what consistantly) when compared to others. I am not saying that the other people are not scoring. I am saying that nobody in the current team have cosistantly scored in foreign venues. BTW the God in my title is not sachin, but Ganguly. In the absence of sachin (the real god) we can utilize the services of the off side god Ganguly.....
