One of the most amazing clashes of recent times, India versus Australia, is set to begin in under twelve hours from now. The very effort put in by the Aussies as a preparation for the series should sum up the story. When was the last time you heard a Aussie Captain say that his teams were the under dogs? Thats how close a fight that the Indians have putforth when playing Australia. Talks are already on with Hayden admitting that Harbhajan Singh fires him up and Ponting saying that they will...

The history repeats. To my liking ( or even to Ganguly’s for that matter ) it has happened very quickly. Saurav Ganguly was again on the verge of being pushed aside and out of International Cricket for once. But his strong record has saved his head again. One of the selectors said his experience, character and resilience has put him ahead of the youngsters like Rohit Sharma, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif. They feel these three qualities are very important for a tough series against... Read Full Story

We have seen loads of changes in Cricket these days. Coming October 1 will see another new rule being implemented. Batting team will be given the privilege to choose one of the powerplays. This will be the newest experiment in the coming days. This tilts the game in favour of the batsmen further. There will be lot more talks about the game becoming too much batsmen friendly. I feel this is totally unnecessary. Along with this, the old rule, that is the free hit will also be taken forward... Read Full Story

After a fortnight long drama and debate, Andrew Symonds has been left out the Australian team which will be touring India later this month. CA has made a clear statement that they will not tolerate any nonsense stuffs even if it is from a senior player which is a pretty good move. But then I personally feel that they’ve gone a step further as he had already been sent home during the Bangladesh series which in itself is a great insult. What this has done is that the Australians will be... Read Full Story

After an impressive series in the emerald isle which helped him get the Man of the Series, Mahendra Singh Dhoni has dethroned South African counterpart Greame Smith to become the numero uno in the recent list of ODI batsmen. With Smith being ruled out of the current series, Dhoni could well extend his lead with few more good shows. Meanwhile, English all-rounder Andrew Flintoff has leap-frogged to the top ODI all-rounder after his scintillating show in the Series against South Africa. Kevin... Read Full Story
