Hi

You must be wondering what is this about and who is this Hardeep? Hardeep Singh Virdi is my brother. An Amazing person and Cricketer. His repeated analysis on Team, Players and Matches were so Accurate that I had to keep a note of them. So the main topic We would be discussing  here is Cricket. It might be Team, Players, Matches, Series.

So Who is Hardeep and Why his Analysis?

Hardeep is one of the most amazing Cricketers that I have seen in my life. He is not a road side or so called gully Cricketer. He has had his share of lime light and touch of fame. He played for his school in many Inter-School Competitions. He is one of the Greats in his school. Who brought in lot of Cups. His confidence in facing any bowlers and the way he break down opposition strategies are simply amazing. I have never seen someone who is able to practically read the Game. When ever we watch cricket he knows what will be the reaction and decisions taken by some of the players. It’s just amazing to see that. I would have loved to see him in international arena playing for India. But just like many other great players in our country he is lost in chain of Society Circles.

So what we are going to do here is , We are going to post series of “Hardeep Analysis” on various Teams, Players, Matches Etc. Enjoy.

Hi,

Yesterday, I was watching match between Pakistan and England. England was amazing. Never for a minute they looked down because the lost their last match with the Netherlands. Their approach towards the game was simple aggressive cricket. The way Kevin Pieterson played was amazing. And he got very good company from Luke Wright too. Pakistan just had glims of spark in them every now and then. 

This is not the Team Pakistan that I know. The Pakistan team that I knew was aggressive. They never where great batsmen. (Other than Saheed Anwar. And little glims of Afarid’s Brillinace. Every now and then.) But man they had bowlers. They generated Pace machines like no other country. A Team that gave Cricket reverse swing. The Team that fought it through gave hard time to the opposition. If not every country atleast India. But seeing them just let go the warm up match. That was sad. They did not have the X Factor that normally we see in Pakistani Team.  I am not a Pakistani Supporter. I am an Indian. I want my team to win. But I enjoy the rivary India and Pakistan had on the field. That tough cricket they played on the field. Damn it was good to see that. What I want is a Final where India beat Pakistan. But I dont see that spark in pakistan team. I dont think they will make it to the super 8 itself. Pakistan team is lost in some other world. They should realize their strength. And theirs is Bowling. I think Bangladesh gave a better fight than Pakistan gave against India or England. Its high time they pull up their socks. Or they will say bye bye to the cup pretty soon.

I wanted to write this not  because I am Pakistan cricket supporter. I love my country and will aways support India. But the way Pakistan play cricket these days shows the mirror Image of whats going on in their country. I think there should be lot more determined than any other team in the competation. I am sure a win will help many people back home for them.  Yesterday, The interview given by Younis Khan was even more sad. Singling out your players in you team sends a wrong signal to the supporters. No matter how bad you do we must never single out any player and say he did not play well. You loose as a team You win as a team. Younis Khan should look up to players and Captain like Dhoni. And the way he projects himself and his team.

There is lot of work that Pakistan needs to do if they want to be in the tournoment.

Hi

I had been following Mumbai Investigation and Progress very closely like everyone here. I had previously writen 2 blogs about the progress of Mumbai Attack(Link1 and Link2). The City and people are throwing out right emotions. People want actions rather than politicaians using this for their personal Votes!

There has been interesting Reactions accross borders too. You would laugh like hell if you some of these videos. Its amazing how people come up with such beautiful stories. I know people are fools but they surely should not go on proving it. Let me start with How they started to fool around with America and got F*&^ed instead.

Hope you remember when War was going on in Afganistan. America said the Taliban and Al-Quaida is in Pakistan Borders. What was the first reaction? No there is no terrorist operating in Pakistan Soil and all bullshit. When after sometime they got all the proff. And America stuck up in their …. They finally aggreed Yes! There might be some terrorist in hiding in some villages. As some village heads were sentimental towards them. I understand cause they are of your own. After sometime you realize all the planning and work is going on in Islamabad. This is when Lal Mazid stuff happened. Who the hell has that many Guns and Ammunation in a Mazid? Everyone prepared to take on Pakistan Army? What the hell ? How did they get in there ? How did so many Guns and Ammunation were there ? Did no one notice all this happening in Capital of their country? Come on! I know there were some boom blast in Delhi too. Its not that the terrorist were trained in Delhi!!! How come you have then in Your Capital ?

I know No one would agree if such things happen. Anyway. Here are some of the videos for good laughter! I am sure you would enjoy them. Link1 and Link2

Here is another AMAZING Link proving the involvement of Certain Group in Pakistan.

Hope you enjoyed that one. Here is the latest update from our side.

MUMBAI REACTS

We all expected Mumbai to be normal the very next day. It was wrong of us and wrong of me too. We just cannot forget whats going around us. If today it was my neighbour tomorrow it can be me! There were processions and peace march every where around the city. I really liked what people came up to say. Politicians does not deserve Z- plus Security. The Citizen of this country does.

OBAMA INDIA HAS RIGHT TO PROTECT ITSELF

Rightly said Mr.Obama. India does have rights to protect itself. And its high time that Politicians realize that too. We must not allow any of our Neighbours to plot attacks against us. There has been news lately that Terrorists are even being trined in Bangladesh. Didn’t we give freedom to that country. And now they come back and try to F&^% around with us? The best solution to this is Attack the terrorist camps where we think they are. If anyone question us. We can say it wasn’t us. Give us proff. If they give us proof then we will say again it wasn’t us. Simple after 6 months no one will remember. Simple Easy Solution.

PRANAB MUKARJEE TALK TOUGH

Finally there was someone who talked something. It felt atleast little better when Pranab Mukarjee told that we are not ruling out miltary action agaist Terrorist Camps accross Border. It would be even more better if we attacked. Put words to Action.

PAKISTAN MEDIA REACTION

Most of the pakistan media’s reaction is that India planned this attack on themselves! Some said the terrorist caught is a Sikh! I know there was terrorism in Punjab. I dont think there is anything like that now. We are Indians and would not do anything against our Country. And hopefully you all already checked out the links above. 

BOLLYWOOD, CRICKET WORLD RECATIONS

Hope you all heard this story. This country has never honoured its real heroes. You saw what Kerala Chief Minester told about Major Unnikrishnan when his father did not allow him to enter his house. I am 100% sure he came  here just for Publicity. Which I am sure he got. He told not even Dog will go to his funeral ? How come such a cheap remark come? That to for a person who died doing duty for this country? Major Unnikrishnan died protecting his own men and trying to rescue people from TAJ and this is what a Chief Minister has to say ? Does any Chief Minister has his son in Army protecting his country ? NO!

When India won T20 World Cup I know it was great. I loved every moment of it but when I see kind of money given to Cricketers and kind of money Army and Defence get it makes me sick to my stomach! What do we think are criketers greater than these men who fought for us? Is that the message we are sending? If govenment want its people to join Defence they better start working on it. They wasted our money on Cricketers. But did not pay these NSG Police and Army people enough. Hope we start thinking that our Tax money is in better hands.

Our IPL cheif and BCCI is worried about how are they going to make money. How things are going to change after this rather than thinking about the security of people. All they think about is Money thats all. Once Taj was captured back. They started planning on their schedules. I know we have to think beyond this and not let terrorist control our living. But you must have feeling for people of Mumbai too. Who have just come out of such a terible truma.

Entertainment world like us I would say started writing blogs. I dont write for media to read it. Its more like expressing my feeling to people around. But I dont think its same with Actors. I saw news people talk about Amithab’s Blog instead of listening to reaction of common people. Celebrities does  not come in common people they are not! I knew there would be reaction in media world with some of people asking Pakistani Actors and performers to leave India. In some News Channel I saw Abjeet asking Pakistani Performers to leave our country. Come on its not they who planned the attack. It was just a publicity Stunt by him. Probably some great singers from our neighbouring country cost him his singing Job. Though if there is any connection that they are supporting then they must be thrown out of our country.(Pakistanis – See We are not too negative people. We just hate your policies of supporting terrorist to attack us. Or trying to claim Kashmir which is Our State. Other than that you are allowed to come here show your talent. I do agree there are some great singers from Pakistan who make a lot of money here.)

INDIAN MUSLIM PEACE MARCH.

Indian Muslims showing the way to the world that what every Al-Quida or any terrorist orgainsation doing in the name of Islam is wrong. I feel that Muslims in our country are one of the most true followers of Islam. They dont try to prech hate against west. They try to live in harmony. Though there are some misleaded people. But I have a feeling that there are people misleaded every where. The reaction not to bury the terrorist bodies in Indian Soil was like a music to my ears I tell you. Islam does not peach hate and killing of innocent people. No religion does! Hopefully people accross borders try to go in their foot step.

PAKISTAN CRACK DOWN ON LeT

Finally Pakistan is reacting! There has been reports that all the training centres of LeT is in Armies Control. Hopefully it stays like this. LeT Chief is arrested. That is another good news. Its good that they have reacted to this. I always believed if you dig a hole for others to fall into, sooner or later you are going to fall into it. They should react fast to growing terrorist in Pakistan or it is going to end up like Palastain and Somalia. I pray it does not happen to them like that. It would create bigger problem to us and them.

Jai Hind

Hi

I am talking about Cricket here, when I say “Do it Dhoni Istyle”. :)  

Team New Zealand must understand that they are not going to get very good reception when they go to Australia for Test Match. Lions are wounded and waiting to attack on their next bait. They going to come down hard on New Zealand. It’s not only Cricketers but also Australian Media.

Australian are known for their Aggression and will do anything to win. The only way to tackle them is to hit them with their own medicine. I would really not like if Black Caps play mellow. They must bring all the Aggression they have and hit it back hard. I have a feeling that if New Zealand play their first 2 days proper hard aggressive Cricket. It will mark end of Australia Era of Cricket. Its cause there are chances that they might loose faith in them. Think that they no longer have it in them. I know its very difficult for that to happen. But I wish this would happen. New Zealand must play hard Aggressive Cricket. They have nothing to loose . Key players in the squad are missing. Some banded as they play ICL, some injured, and others inexperience.

They must do what India did to Australia. You can say this topic is Doing it Indian Istyle or Dhoni Istyle. 

These are the key things Dhoni Did right in resent series.

Take on Australian on Field off Field and in Media.

Do not stop any of your player showing Aggression.(Though We Lost Gautam Gambir at last test to this.)

Hard Aggressive Cricket.

There is one any only Goal : To Win. Dont go for Draw Go for Win.

Australians are going to come down hard on your key player. So keep him cool. For India It was Gautam Gambir. They had proper plan for him. Kept putting pressure on him until he burst out. Then for the last match they had him Banned. India had good replacements so we did not have problem this time. They did the same with Sachin, Harbajan, Shewag, Saurav, Dravid, VVS. Name it. You can see every match they play. They will come down hard on player who is in top form. New Zealand must understand this if they want to win.

That’s all Advice I have to give them. Go New Zealand. All the Best.

Hi

I know most of you all have seen Batman : The Dark Knight. If not close this blog watch the movie first. :) Amazing movie by the way. I like many dialogues in them. Now you must be wondering why I am relating The Dark Knight with Sachin Tendulkar. First Its a catch name, isn’t it ? For the other reason read on.

I happen to see a poll in NDTV when I was browsing news in my mobile. It said Sachin Play of for Records and now that pissed me off. I fail to understand the media and people who have this feeling. I completely fail. They pick up such topics just for TRPs. Just some days back I read an article in Mutiny.in where they where upset about Tata going to Gujarat. And you know what the name of the Topic was ? “Shame on you Ratan Tata.” I was dam pissed about that too. You want to become famous in Blogging world write something bad about great personality or something you will become. I left comments on that blog and happen to find out that, that guy was just pissed out of Modi and his Government. So He was angry that Tata went to Gujarat and why not any other place.

Anyway getting back to topic. I don’t understand. What does he have to prove to get another record ? You tell me. He has got all the money he wants. He is famous. Then why would he play? The answer is simple. He loves the Game. People just fail to understand that. Does he looks like he want more records? No way. 

I love his game and the person he is. Out of Conterversies all these years. You don’t see him with a new girl or drinking and hitting someone. No one has taken the burden he has for all this years. We expect too much of him. Always to score runs. Problem is we ask too much of him. 

For me he is like an artist. His Bat as a Brush and painting a beautiful picture with every runs he gets for India. I would love to say stories of him to my children. May be some new guy might be playing that time. My children would say “Dad he is the best.” I would say “No my dear, You have not seen God”. These players are mear followers. (Bit too much. But anyway I would say Sachin is the Best.)

He is a dark knight cause he take all on him. Evertime. If India fails to score the first thing we say is Sachin should have played more. Or He should have stayed till end. Or cause he did not score. Then we start blaming him. And if he scores and India wins. People discuss he is God. He can play for 5 years more and all the crap. One Moment you make him God the other you throw him out. 

I would like to quote this dialouge from The Dark Knight

Gordon[visibly shaken, but respect clearly evident on his face] Because he’s the hero that Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now…[as Gordon continues, we see a wounded Batman running from the police and their dogs]…so we’ll hunt him…[Batman reaches the Batpod and rides off]…because he can take it…because he’s not a hero…[Batman is riding through the streets of Gotham on the Batpod]…he’s a silent guardian, a watchful protector…a Dark Knight.

And Our Dark Knight is Sachin. When we dont score we say all kind of things to him. And when he does we make him Demi-God. 

I say Leave him the way he is. He know best when to retire and when to not. Until that just enjoy his game and let him enjoy his.
