The Opening Overs...!

With the kind of cricket following we have in this country, it would be really unfair if I did not open this blog with the same. So here goes my first delivery with the new ball...

* What is common to Murlitharan's Test Debut, Lasith Malinga, Lindsay Hassett and me?!

Well, not that I expect too many people to pick this away to the boundary, but I can assure you of better cricket quizzes in the future for sure. The answer to this one is 28th August, which is the birth date of Malinga, Hassett and urs truly, and also the date that Murli played his first Test on!
Alrite, b4 I get another set of brickbats, lemme reiterate, no more of such wide deliveries...things will only get better from here! Talking about myself, will be brief, the below is a brief about my personal stats...

Name:- Suneer S. Chowdhary (though I would have really wished it was Rahul Dravid or a Steve Waugh!)
DoB:- Mentioned above!
Currently doing:- an MBA from NMIMS, Mumbai
Would have wished to be doing:- either captaining India in the Cricket World Cup 2007, or sharing the commentary box with Tony and Ian...!
Other Interests(other than Cricket that is):- aah....hmmmmm...(lemme think!)
Favourite Batsmen:- Rahul Dravid, Steve Waugh(for their sheer grit, determination, and ability to overcome all odds and succeed)...amongst the bang boom variety, I like Sehwag's style(whatever the critics gotta say about this guy, we need people with his attitude in the team). Favourite Bowlers:- Curtly Ambrose, Shane Warne(even if you include all his eccentricities off the field!), Murli(with him bowling, one can be rest assured something's gonna happen, same is the case with Warne for that matter!)
Favourite Fielders:- No list would be complete without Jonty Rhodes, but I also liked Nasser Hussain(a very under rated fielder), Gibbs(Jonty's legacy passed on...), Yuvraj and Kaif(personally I believe that Kaif is a better fielder than Yuvi, but for Yuvi's flamboyance in the field!)
Favourite ODIs:- Would be hard not to include the Natwest Final between India and England, and the India vs Pakistan match in Dhanka where we chased a 300+ target in fading lights, but my all time favourites for the sheer entertainment generated, would be the 2 SA-Aussie matches, the tied match at the 1999 WC and the Jo'burg ODI where SA chased a mammoth 400+, once a life time phenomonenons!
Favourite Tests:- The Laxman Test Match(Kolkata, where India won after following on against the Aussies), and another India-Australia match at Wankhede, where the World Champions failed o chase a target of 100 odd. I was at the stadium for all the three days, and the atmosphere was just electrifying, had to be there to believe it!
