Introduction

Welcome to Guns&Cricket!
...That mysterious zone where everything Arsenal FC and Indian cricket converges

After a string of short-lived topical blogs and one so general it died of boredom, I've decided to write about what I actually love and find the time to follow.

I've been an Arsenal fan from about the turn of the millenium, when ESPN introduced India to Henry, Bergkamp, Overmars, Petit, Adams playing the great game under the great Arsene Wenger, a man who, judging by his name, was surely destined to run this club.

Of course, being Indian, I've been a fan of the Indian cricket team probably since I was nothing more than a zygote, when Kapil Dev lifted the Prudential World Cup in 1983.

I'd been thinking of starting a site on at least one of these teams for some time, and the recent ups and downs that both of them have had has caused me to be especially involved in their progress of late.

Currently they're both in a bit of a slump, following a tremendous rise last year. So expect opinionated rants, desperate cries for help, hair-splitting, speculation, overanalysis and incorrigible hope for the future. This is where you want to come and let it all out when your team is down. Drinks are available in your fridge.
