There has never been a better time to be an Indian cricketer. Annual contracts, a variety of formats to choose from and a board that’s as capitalist (profit oriented) as they come. We have come a long way from an era where player powe...(more)

She likes his accent (because he’s the only man in the world to have that accent, right?) and craves constant media attention; he will shag pretty well anything that moves. So, they’re a match made in heaven obviously.No, itR...(more)

Cricket South Africa and Cricket Australia, today held a joint press conference; to announce the itinerary for Australia’s full tour of South Africa. A rivalry running over a 100 years of Test Cricket always draws attention.We bring y...(more)
