Just one more match to go in this dull 50-over summer. Five games against Pakistan and now four more against West Indians haven’t provided entertainment of any sort. It all ends with the final match in Melbourne. Just as Cricket Australia...(

The Australian players make like it but it makes for pretty boring cricket. When they win all the time, it seems anti-climatic. This first happened with the Pakistanis who just about gave up and now the West Indies seem to be afflicted by t...(

England meet South Africa in the final test of their Test series while Australia meet Pakistan in the final one of theirs. The Australia-Pakistan one could have been an exciting finale had Pakistan closed it out in Sydney, but as we all kno...(

Those people who say Test cricket is dead don’t know what they are talking about. Some fantastic cricket is being played and cricket at that which is far more entertaining than the cricket which was being played 20 or 30 years ago. Crowds...(

It seems pretty hard to do but the ICC is making a hash of the video technology. You wouldn’t have though it impossible but that’s what happening. Umpires with the full use of hot-spot, hawkeye and all of the other gadgets and gizmos ar...(

India got to play only two test series in the whole of 2009. There are rumours doing the rounds that India might not get to play a test match before the 2011 World Cup and that will make it difficult for them to retain their recently acquir...(

India thrashed Sri Lanka by an innings and 24 runs to claim the series and the top spot in the ICC test cricket rankings. In the process, India have successfully continued to guard their fortress against Sri Lankan invasion in test match cr...(

It’s a busy time in cricket with eight international sides being engaged in a series. It is a great time to be a fan of the sport.
In Australia the summer of cricket is about to get under way with the Australians hosting the West Indies. ...(

Harbhajan Singh had another forgettable match with the ball at Motera in the first test against Sri Lanka. His performances over the last few years in test matches haven’t been so impressive when compared to the earlier half of his ca...(

There is so much being written about the preparation of docile test match wickets that make the contest between bat and ball lopsided. It is annoying to read so many reports about this topic in the last few days. Tendulkar’s 20 years ...(

The Australians were depressed after their loss in the Ashes but will feel overjoyed after their series win in India. Yes while it may have been a victory in a meaningless series but from it, there is the chance that Australia can reap lo...(

There is no doubt in my mind why India are what they are in International cricket. As much as the advent of the IPL, the player’s sloth, cricket overkill and the BCCI can be blamed for the perennial mediocrity and inconsistency with w...(

The impressive teams to date hav...(

The first Champions League of Twenty20 cricket is happening in India. Last year’s event was cancelled due to unsavoury external factors so it is good that this year’s tournament will be happening. Although it is unfortunate for the team...(

Graeme Smith
His masterful 141 against England was in vain, as was a dashing half century against Sri Lanka. On both occasions he was let down by his bowlers, but the South African skipper went down fighting, maintaining a strike rate of 10...(

It seems as though Australia has been playing continuous cricket for a long time. There was the tour of South Africa followed by a short break. They then went to England where they lost the Ashes and then played seven one-dayers. They are n...(

The ‘chokers’ tag has remained the private property of South Africa for sometime now. There is no denying that they have consistently choked at all major tournaments in the last decade despite being invincible at home and fairly...(

The batting power play has got everyone in a flap. Captains obsess about who to bowl, bowlers forget the basics of their trade and batsmen suddenly default to slog-mode. But it is the pundits and commentators who have been most stirred by t...(
