Homer has had enough of dead pitches and predictable Test series:

Because I cannot be bothered anymore.

What point pontificating about the game when the outcome of a marquee series can be predicted so far in advance?

What point talking about the nuances and the vagaries of the game when the only nuance is the pitch being rolled twice instead of thrice and the only vagary is the wicket having four blades of grass instead of one?

It is a sad day for cricket fans. I enjoyed reading “Do Paise Ka Tamasha” which was as much informational as it was spot on in its analysis. What set DPKT different from other blogs was that Homer spent time to do actual research by reading stuff before providing his opinion. In many cases, I found him more reliable than Cricinfo in explaining the nuances of some obscure facet of the game.

But let me make a prediction. I am sure that someone with such a deep passion for cricket will be forced to break his promise and will return back to providing his insights. At the very least, we hope to see the progress report of Mini Homer as he starts clubbing boundaries.

Thanks for the memories!
