A blog for cricket tragics

Posted by Mukul Kesavan on 01/29/2007 in

This is a fan's eye blog. At a time when cricket commentary on television, in print and online, is done by former internationals punchdrunk by too many years in the fray, this blog offers non-playing lucidity as a corrective. Written with a historian's experience in fixing the facts and a fan's unwinking commitment to his team, Men in White aims to be an indispensable blog for cricket tragics, showing them that they are not alone.


Mukul Kesavan teaches social history for a living and writes fiction when he can. He's keen on the game but in a non-playing way. With a top score of 14 in neighbourhood cricket and a lively distaste for fast bowling, his credentials for writing about the game are founded on a spectatorial axiom: distance brings perspective. Kesavan's book of cricket - 'Men in White' (now there's a coincidence) published by Penguin India is now available in bookstores.
