  • Drawing conclusions

    A few after effects of the 3rd drawn Test Match in Dominica which NC foresees in the near future. MSD's new ad promoting Mountain Dew with a brand new tag line Duncan Fletcher receiving the 'Drawnacharya Award ' from Pratibha Patil One wanted to put a picture of a pack of wolves hunting down...

  • Fire in Babylon

    A team that lorded over all others a few decades back finds itself staring into complete and utter darkness. The oft mentioned cliché by optimists referring to ‘a ray at the end of the tunnel’ seems to have ceased to exist as well. And how has the team reached such pathetic levels from its heady days...

  • West Indies Tour – Time to test the bench strength

    The Indian selectors were forced to sort of send an A team to West Indies under Suresh Raina as most of the senior players decided to either rest or missed out due to injury. The biggest offenders were Sehwag and Ghambir as they were already aware of their injuries but still decided to participate in...

  • Selectors hurl a googly again

    The Indian team for the ODI/T20 leg of the West Indies tour was announced last Friday. Even though the team was on the expected lines, as it has been a routine these days with our selection committee we do have one surprising selection. In the world cup it was Piyush Chawla and now it is Wriddhimaan...

  • Lack of experience in batting did Pakistan in

    First of all let me congratulate both the teams for playing out a brilliant game of cricket. Amidst ridiculously long IPL, it was wonderful to see two teams slugging it out in the oldest format of the game. When Pakistan was leaving for their Caribbean tour, there was confusion between the West Indies...

  • West Indies Tour – Chance for the youngsters to shine

    With the IPL nearing the play offs, the Indian selectors will convene in Chennai tomorrow to select the Indian team to tour West Indies next month. It is going to be an interesting selection as it seems like almost an A team would visit the Caribbean at least for the ODI-T20 leg of the tour. The IPL...

  • Re: Special Coverage: World Twenty20 2010 - Sri Lanka v West Indies - May 7th

    West Indies have done enough to keep their supporters interested and with only 2 wickets gone, if they can score 60 runs in overs 11-15, they really will have a chance. Anything less in terms of runs or more than 5 in terms of total wickets lost will mean visions of death here for the Windies. As I typed...

  • Re: Special Coverage: World Twenty20 2010 - Sri Lanka v West Indies - May 7th

    Gayle and Chanderpaul, especially the latter, got the team off to a good start. But then, once they departed, the bowling improved as well and with Nuwan and Angelo hitting the right areas at the right speed, the new entrants at the crease, Sarwan and Bravo, couldn't time or place the ball for runs...

    195 is a target that should be beyond Gayle & co., especially given the guile of Muralidharan & co. But it is T20 after all. Let's see any hits from the Windies' bats brings any giggles to their supporters. COW: 61% to Sri Lanka

    Roach comes back into the attack in over #18. Only bowler who's been able to keep the Lankans quiet. Pollard did that to some extent. Sammy was not even given a 2nd look by Gayle on this track. So was the case with Bravo. On this pitch, you either have express pace or you bowl spin. If you bowl anything...
