Machcha's Million Dollar Baby?

126.3	Taylor to Flintoff, OUT, what an inspired bowling change ... the ball keeps low, completely beating Flintoff, who is caught half forward, for pace and cleans him up comprehensively
	A Flintoff b Taylor 0 (2b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

Have you heard of Steven Dias ?

If you don't follow Indian football, I'm afraid you'll say Steven Who ?

Steven Dias is India's answer to David Beckham. Skinny and speedy, Steven plays on the Indian and Mahindra United
right flanks. Blessed with natural speed and an accurate right foot, he is indeed part of the Indian Football team
which is slowly getting noticed.
I got to watch him play at Cooperage in the Bombay derby last week against Mumbai FC. Apart from regulation crosses, he struck in a curling free kick from 35 yards which was saved by Mumbai FC goalkeeper Kalyan Chaubey at full stretch. If you happen to be in Bombay, come down to Cooperage, the ticket is only 20 bucks, you get the company of fishermen, taxi drivers, gangsters and young footballers. Be sure to notice Steven Dias is his orange boots or Abhishek Yadav, India's Van Nistelrooy towering over the others :)

Dear Dhoni,

Congratulations on the series win. Very well done, Sire. I have a request.. since you are the super captain, that you are.. could you please play Balaji in the 5th ODI? He is one of my favorite bowlers.

Thank you,
SR

Vigbert

Originally named Deerghakantha Vinayaka Chenna Reddy, he is a two time national tennis champion and three time winner of the Gaganmahal Open. His signature "over the net" returns have since revolutionalised the art of ungainly balance while facing 150 mph serves. Though widely known as the guy who taught Andre Agassi how to score with chicks, Vigbert has also been instrumental in setting up several support groups around the world for the follicle-ly challenged sportsmen. Now, having retired to a more modest role as a feline enthusiast, he spends most of his time watching Ekta Kapoor serials and chairing the international scouting council for promising Lingocha players.

Sharad Ragas

Often referred to as the "worst badminton player to have never played for India", SR has tormented fans and detractors alike, with his inimitable lack of talent. His on-court verbal assaults on players resulted in two fractured ribs and a broken marriage. He has since drifted to less popular games like cricket, and now acts as career counsellor to out-of-work coaches of the sub continent's cricket teams. Currently under review for inappropriate behaviour at the Domalguda Ganesh Chaturdhi celebrations, if found guilty, could be a part of the next season of Bigg Boss. Likes bhangra songs and curd rice.

Partha

An ardent Ricky Ponting fan, who infamously refused to play for the national cricket team due to differences with the management on the exclusion of "gutthi vankaya koora" from the team's diet menu. He is also notorious for having told Dada off (in Bengali) for his poor off-side play and timid captaincy tactics. His leg spinning option has since never served the national team, and now bowls at the nets to aspiring cricketers in Bermuda. Author of two unpublished books, "If you are an Aussie and you know it, STFU" and "ECB - Saviour of World Cricket", Partha is touted as the next in line for the Booker Prize 2009 for his innovative style of writing and raspy remarks. Sometimes writes for unworthy blogs, as a marketing strategy and wears two pairs of glasses, as his personal fashion statement.

Chaitanya

At the nets of Nizam grounds in the summer of 1994, the lean left arm bowler who used to bowl for India yelled at the batsman, " nee $@##&, dimaag kharaab shaatladutendi bai nuvvu!!" Chaitanya looked up at the bowler, pushed back the glasses up his nose and shouted back "switch hit, anna.. haha!" as he made a fleeting gesture to the South African kid, Kevin.. who was hunting for autographs around the field. Chaitanya has a come a long way from his days on a cricket field, and now is an academic genius who mental flosses on blogs sometimes. No picture of Chaitanya exists. Pictures of Kevin however, can be found on Google under "Bangalore Royal Challengers".
