India has seen various forms of justice or injustice, depending on the way one wants to look at it, served in March. On one hand was the ban imposed on the Lankan players from their IPL team games played in Chennai. The reason given is on the one hand...
Just the last weekend we played this cricket match against a client. And I was the de facto captain because I happen to be the senior most person around. Every one else ran around trying to make the game happen. They battled for the ground, got the nets...
............This was not the case. The latest news which Vladimir Brusiloff had had from Russia had been particularly cheering. Three of his principal creditors had perished in the last massacre of the _bourgeoisie_, and a man whom he owed for five years...
This upcoming Indian tour of Australia doesn't in any way feel like the last time the Indians were down under. Somehow the spark seems to be missing. I admit that the last time the Indians were in Australia it was more like the wild Australian bush...
19th June 2011 was a day of celebrations, literally. For most of the world it was Father’s Day, for those lucky farmers in UP, it was Kisan Adhikar Divas (Farmers’ Rights Day) as it also happened to be the birth day of one Rahul Gandhi. The problem that...
The biggest road party that one has ever attended had already had a smaller cousin just a few days earlier. The victory against Pakistan had seen enormous traffic at Marine Drive with people seemingly taking hours to just cross that 3km stretch in a car...
The sight of Jacques Kallis jumping in the air like a startled black buck and tamely fending off a snorter will forever be etched in one's mind and will be THE memory of the Durban Test. India smelled victory there and then and stuck to their task...

It seems Ponting was booed when he came into bat at Brisbane in the 1st innings.. Booed by the Barmy Army in his own country. Now pardon my ignorance but didn't the entire media scream their guts out and sing praises of his illustrious career when...
A Test series ended in a white wash. A Test series that could have ended as a battle of equals if one team had managed to get a wicket before the final two runs were stolen. A series that could have actually ended in a white wash the other way round....
One had started the day practising the cliche, 'It doesn't matter who won or who lost, the real winner was the game of Cricket.' One of the main reasons behind the philosophical attitude was obviously the fact that the odds seemed to be favouring...
One had always wondered why Kamikaze pilots wore helmets during WWII. That puzzle was solved today after watching T Dilshan face 14 balls from the Indians. Every ball was there to be hit. Dilshan’s bat (DB) was behaving like Shakti Kapur with the ball...
Courtsey - HT The world's premier batsman of his generation was watching a decentish innings from an average batter who was getting old and battle weary. The Old Man had reached a milestone of his mundane career on the same day and was trying to do...
This article is meant for all those people who have always wanted to understand the basic economic theory of price elasticity of demand, possess a keen cricketing brain and are ready to stretch their credulity. Price elasticity in cricket is basically...
VVS Laxman is attributed the sobriquet of the man who single handedly sounded the death knell for the follow on. As usual Rahul Dravid has been overlooked even in this legacy. But frankly, the famous Kolkata partnership put the fear of god in most captains...
