# 1: Please don’t make tiresome bullshit political analogies. Lazy bloggers, opportunistic Aman Ki Asha-ists and op-ed writers, we are looking at you. ... #5: Loser desi footie fans, if you’re going to compare this to ManU v Liverpool, El Classico or some shit, please piss off right now, you won’t be spared. ... #6: Cricket will NOT be the winner. Stop even thinking of f**king saying anything related to that notion without the NOT in that statement. It really does tick us off.

[cwc2011]

This is England...

...crashing out in the quarter final.

[cwc2011]

It's All Black at Mirpur as the Black Caps pull off the most stunning upset yet! They progress to the semi final in Colombo, and the South Africans have a long flight home to contemplate another knockout loss, after dominating Group B in the league stages.
