I have been away from this space for a long time for various reasons. But with 8 days to go for the biggest spectacle of all in World Cricket to commence, I'm giving myself an opportunity to get back into the cric-blogging scene (if there is such a term).

willow.tv has the 2 Indian warm-up games listed in its live line-up - so, the live action starts this weekend. Here's to hoping that the next 8 weeks would provide some memorable moments and also in the process help me revive my penchant for dishing out mundane (yet prolific) pieces on the progress of MS and his men in blue (or red?).
