India vs England - Kanpur ODI - 20-11-2008
What is it with England and the weather gods?
I have known atleast three occassions in the recent past when England couldn’t push for victories when they really had a chance owing to the weather.
Three years ago, when Michael Vaughan had a dream run as test captain, bad light saved South Africa from losing a test match they [...]

India Vs England - Indore ODI - 17-11-2008
England lost by 54 runs in Indore, and squandared yet another chance to make an impact early on in the series.
Stuart Broad provided England the early momentum by picking up three wickets in quick succession.
England couldn’t drive home the advantage as they allowed Gambhir and Yuvraj Singh to put on a century partnership in equally [...]

India vs England - Rajkot ODI - 14-11-2008
Before India could fully bask on the glory of their recently acclaimed ‘Pretenders to the throne’ status, we have yet another (in)significant English tour to India.
Asif the 7 ODI’s in England last year were not enough, we will have 7 more for this year, played in different parts of India which haven’t got a game [...]

Border-Gavaskar Series Review - 10-11-2008
India have wrapped up the Border-Gavaskar series 2-0, a win that should give them a great deal of confidence going into the England home series.
The best part of the victory is that when the need arose, everybody from the Indian team came to the party. Such wins, with contribution from all members of the team, [...]

Next in Line - 10-11-2008
Its time to go Rahul Dravid.
You have had enough chances. You average 17 is this four test series, your lowest since that dismal Australian tour in 1999-2000.
To give a picture of how dismal it is, Harbhajan Singh averages 53 with his bat in this series.
Zaheer Khan averages more than you in this series.
As if batting [...]

The ?Retirement? Procession - 05-11-2008
The most expected retirements have slowly started to come, one after the other.
Although there is more than one Indian senior who deserves to retire from International cricket, it will be beneficial for Indian cricket if Dravid, Tendulkar and Laxman defer their retirements for the time being.
Rahul has been in the worst form slump of his [...]

The time has come?. - 02-11-2008
The impending retirement of the ageing Indian icons has been the topic of discussion in the media for quite sometime now.
I had been writing about this topic every now and then. I had even accused the Indian cricketers of not retiring gracefully and forcing the selectors to humilate and ill-treat them.
Now the time has come.
Ganguly [...]

Level 2 Offence - 01-11-2008
We seem to be hearing more and more cases of misconduct on the cricket field in the recent past.
The Gambhir - Watson elbowing incident is the most recent case of the breach of the code of cricketing conduct.
Indian cricketers have a good track record when it comes to on-field behaviour. There has been no such [...]

End of an era? - 21-10-2008
Is the era of Australian domination coming to an end?
Not quite, mate.
Australia were outclassed by India in the Mohali test. There was no single session in the test match where India lagged behind the Aussies, if not for the session between lunch to tea on the first day when India lost a few quick wickets.
But [...]

Mohali Test Preview - 16-10-2008
The first test ended in a stalemate with each team claiming to have wrested the momentum from the other.
We happened to witness a low scoring rate and contrary to what most online reports say, the match was damn boring to watch. When Michael ‘Probot’ Hussey and Simon Katich play like they did, not to mention [...]
