Chris Gayle has announced that he would rather play T20 cricket over Test matches. This may have come as a shock to many, but I am quite surprised that people didn’t see this coming. Expect to see more of this in the future.
I am par...(more)

There are several good things that the IPL is doing for cricket. And there are several things that it is doing that are plainly irritating. For example, we do not have sixes anymore! These are now known as DLFers or “DLF maximums̶...(more)

Much has been written about India not going that extra mile to win the last Test in New Zealand in the last few days. I wrote about India missing a “Tipping Point” moment. Mahesh also wrote about Good Enough not being Enough any...(more)

Winning a series in NZ is pretty good, I reckon. In fact we couldn’t achieve that a few years ago when the fab five were still playing together and a lot younger. Actually, India haven’t won a test series in NZ in 41 years – so, the s...(more)
On 15 August 2007, Team India’s 2007 series in England had just concluded. Rahul Dravid was then captain of Team India — a team that had no coach and a genial geriatric as its Team Manager. The team had started off that tour wit...(more)
The Indian selectors announced the Team India list of 30 probables for the T20 World Championship. The final squad of 15 will be announced on June 5, just 10 days after the IPL concludes.

It was one of those manic days of Test cricket in which each team will claim they got it right.
New Zealand took a risk by winning the toss and asking India to bat. NZ will feel that their decision was vindicated by getting 9 of India̵...(more)

Dhoni’s lack of awareness that Flintoff’s batting form is not shaking the world, Badrinath’s good form in domestic cricket, and Ashwin is actually a bowler probably did it for the predicted favorites. I have to say that ...(more)
At a lunch that I went to Sunday afternoon, I was hauled up by a frequent visitor to i3j3Cricket and was asked to comment on why the IPL could not be thrown wide open to have teams full of international players (if need be)!
To have a low...(more)
The India-Australia series is over and the India-England one is just about to begin. There is more cricket in store, but are you disappointed that the Border-Gavaskar series is actually over? Do you wish that there was at least one more gam...(more)
The Indian fan can dream. The Indian fan first started dreaming in 2001 after “that series”! Team India fans will not need to know either the opponent or the score or the city. The term “that series” is sufficient t...(more)

They didn’t take a pasting as they did at Rajkot and Indore. In fact, one could argue that they were within striking distance of a win. But England did lose. This time, they were done in by bad light and two of their countrymen - Messers....(more)
England bat deep. So deep that Ravi Bopara is forced to come in at No. 8 and Stuart Broad, who averages around 37 runs and has 3 fifties to his credit in his short Test career, comes in at No. 9. Yet, they’ve had trouble overhauling the t...(more)
India played an ODI last night. India won, again.
Once again, the nature of the pitch wasn’t an issue for intense pre-match analysis and debate. Once again, the toss wasn’t an issue to moan about — one of the teams won the...(more)
