Cartoons: The Lighter side of Cricket

Ricky Ponting is fast becoming the season's flavour. Everyone from Indian Cricket Team to Ian Chappell to Cricket Asutralia is having a go at him. Here I analyze the year 2008 that just went by for the Australian Captain.

My take on the Sachin Tendulkar and Adam Gilchrist controversy which erupted as a result of the gloveman's autobiography, True Colours.

Moving to the next dilemma faced by the Indian Selectors is comprehending the poor running between the wickets of the cricket team. Whereas running is not a problem in our day to day lives.

Capturing the 'The Great India Opener Dilemma' which represents India's perennial search for a stable opener for the Test team is the intention of this cartoon strip.

After interviewing our cricketers, Dada and Powar, we move on to the oft neglected WAGs of our players.

Continuing with the interviews(it was Ganguly earlier) and moving to Romesh Powar. So what does he gets interviewed on? Pretty obvious, his weight, which stands apart, his bowling performances notwithstanding.

From some heavy dosed cartoons to a light cartoon strip. Now I try my hand at some very light hearted simplistic cartoons, starting with Dada giving an interview with witty answers.

The new cricket review system for judging umpires is everywhere in the news, here, here and here. Going with the latest trends, my next Cricket Cartoon is on the review system, but takes a dig at the Indian Cricketers (aka Seniors as per Media) who have not been performing too well, notably Dravid and Ganguly.

Uthappa should be axed immediately is what my friend Amitesh cried in his blog. Well taking a cue from him I start on my next cartoon. The bad form of Robin Uthappa has made the opener the 12th man of the team and his job is now curtailed to 'carrying bats' and drinks to the players.
