We must feel angry or the cause is lost - Suresh Menon
Aug 30, 2010
Cricket is paying the price for a combination of complacency and pusillanimity. After the match-fixing scandal broke a decade ago, India and Pakistan banned some players as did South Africa, who banned Hansie Cronje. But many who were banned like Wasim Akram and Ajay Jadeja continued to be associated with the game in different capacities, as television experts or coaches.

Dambulla umpires did not carry out their duties - Gulu Ezekiel
Aug 23, 2010
Virender Sehwag was the victim of an act of churlishness and poor sportsmanship on the part of Sri Lankan off spinner Suraj Randiv at Dambulla on Monday. The Lankans have won the ICCCâ?s own â?Spirit of Crickettâ? Award in both 2007 and 2008. And besides, since â?Unfair Playyâ? is now part of the laws of cricket, the Dambulla umpires were surely remiss in not carrying out their duties.

In nearly 100 of his 125 Tests Sunil Gavaskar opened with three partners and they all make a fascinating study in contrast.

WADA, control and TV revenue - BCCI's Asian Games dilemma
Jun 23, 2010
At the heart of the decision is the continued refusal of Indian cricketers to sign the 'whereabouts clause.'
