first up, bowled over

So, why do I need a blog NOW? At precisely 4.37 am on a black (it's night outside, as highly placed sources in the bcci say) friday-turning-saturday? i forgot the password of the earlier one; and couldn't even get it back. I have a genius for that. I sometimes forget my signature, and have had cheques bouncing because some imbecile clerk in my bank thought none but fellow imbeciles have a right to forget their autograph. but having been out of the indian team for so long (precisely 31 years and too-week-in-math-to-count-days), i really face problems on that front. Sometimes.

Now, to get back to the bcci (one of the factors that drove me off the telly to the computer, which i hate to use on an off-day), those officials seem to have done the media a favour by retaining greg-da: more juice for the "sources"-happy reporters; more speculation on pages one to eternity; more analysis from pages edit-oped; more sms-es to greg's anonymous plants in our estate -- the fourth one, from the right. just ask THE rajan bala for confirmation. and check with the cricket reporters in every other paper, save the kolkata brigade.

more on that, and more, later. pff tp sleep now, with happy visuals of saturday's page ones. .

BCCI plays 3rd ump, says Greg not out//
