WEBSITE IS UNDER RECONSTRUCTION SO HOLD YOUR PANTIES A FEW MORE DAYS
WE ARE the masked vigilantes of cricket: writers, bloggers & tweeters, with no little pent-up bitterness.
We are fed-up of having bland non-opinions being forced upon us, and so we have taken a stand.
Our writing will punch you in the gut. It will make you laugh until it hurts.
At the heart of our ideals is to “just do good.”
As such, we have come up with The Alternative Cricket Almanack 2011 – a book consisting of the best articles from criminally underrated writers. All proceeds go to a scholarship for underprivileged cricketers in Afghanistan.
We have been variously described as:
“A conspiracy to defraud Pakistan cricket.” – Ijaz Butt
“Mommy, they were mean to me.” – Mitchell Johnson
“This site is amazing…like a tracer bullet through my brain.” – Ravi Shastri
We sincerely hope you enjoy our website and book. If you do love us, then please do tell your friends. Now that our contract with Stanford has fallen through, word-of-mouth is our only hope.
Please keep in mind that Alternative Cricket is not like the others. We do not submit to popular notions of censorship.
We will not blindly obey popular opinion unless it is adequately profitable.
In short, we refuse to be corrupted, and we refuse to be stupid.
I am the editor of this site. Most common FAQ‘s: Nomadic medical student. I love my guitar, Radiohead, spaghetti…I hate ‘DLF Maximums’, Radiohead covers and eating spaghetti in public. Young enough to be Preity Zinta’s toyboy. Budding social philanthropist, without the $$$.
We have been featured in (and written for some of)..Sports Illustrated, Wall Street Journal, Huffington Post, Bloomberg, Headlines Today, ESPN Cricinfo, Hindustan Times, Sydney Morning Herald, and many more of Murdoch’s glorious empire (praise be upon him).
What our fans say about us…
“@AltCricket is my favourite account dedicated to the world’s greatest sport. A lot of people have wit when it comes to the sport. AltCricket has more wit than the others, and a deep understanding of the game, which only those who are lucky enough to be obsessed can understand. If you are a cricket fan in the remotest sense, follow right now. The World Cup, when I discovered the account, was far more enjoyable due to AltCricket. I won’t go through a Test series without them now.” – Simon Williamson’s Top Tweeters
