Specialist: Masala Dosa

Like an oasis in a desert, somewhere in Clifton Shopping Arcade in Karachi, is a small niche specialising in making, hold your breath, Masala Dosa

Tape it, rip it

An Olympian hammering

A battle of the hacks under floodlights at the Asghar Ali Shah Stadium is no joking matter

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Nine hundred seconds of history

The Pakistan board decided to start the Karachi Test at 10:00am local time unlike at Lahore and Faisalabad, when the game had started 15 minutes earlier

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Unbottling the noise

Unlike the packed house at Faisalabad, the National Stadium in Karachi is just around half full

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Broad roads, big city

Here we are at Karachi and for one of the first time in this tour, take a deep breath, I sweat

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Thank God it's over

How we sat through five days of that drudgery called the Faisalabad Test we will always wonder

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Preserve of the reserve

It's always interesting to know how a reserve spends his time when a cricket match is going on

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

An outdoor view

As one approaches the Iqbal Stadium, large pockets of fans, mainly youth, stand around chit-chatting

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

The sight-screen puzzle

Sometime after tea today, both Virender Sehwag and Rahul Dravid got distracted

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Coming alive with Afridi

There's a certain aura that accompanies Shahid Afridi

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

A poet and three heroes

He wrote ‘Sare Jahan Se Achcha’, is credited with coming up with the idea of a separate state for Indian Muslims, and has a Test venue named in his honour

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Echoing and informal

From Lahore to Faisalabad in a Daewoo bus with a hostess making anouncements that are undecipherable, unless one has an echo filter

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

So passionate ... so Pakistani

There are several ways one can get to the Gaddafi Stadium from where I am staying – either walk for about ten minutes, reach the main road and take a rickshaw; or hope for a rickshaw to be around in the housing locality; or - and this is what is

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Life's a pitch

So here we were at Lahore, witnessing a Test played on, if we were to believe the cricketers, the flattest of surfaces

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Leave or smack?

Watching a cricketer at a press conference has its own charm

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Going round in circles

Watching ... painfully

As one tries to make sense of what exactly happened in the cricket today, when Pakistan gorged themselves in batting heaven, one needs to spare a thought

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

More than magic

There isn’t much that Sourav Ganguly hasn’t done on a cricket field, but what he did around 2:20pm today was quite novel

25-Feb-2013•Siddhartha Vaidyanathan

Oh hundred, my hundred

The moment that a batsman reaches an important landmark always assumes an importance at a cricket match
