Soon after his debut hundred, still in his ice bath, this is what Suresh Raina said: "It was a pressure situation I was feeling the nerves since we had lost the first Test. He came up to me and just told me to enjoy, to choose my shots wise...(more)

We’ve seen four days of cruelty to bowlers of all kinds. By we I mean you, because I haven’t really bothered. Suraj Randiv is not exactly Murali, and there’s no way in hell I’m going to watch him bowl 64 overs (a rec...(more)

This team is awful. How can the likes of Kohli, Sharma, Fatraj and Raina struggle against this Sri Lankan attack? We might as well concede the Bedi-Muralitharan series right now. I know, its just day three and there are two tests left in th...(more)

So was Dhoni. As was Nehra, who finally congratulated MS for catching something. Raina was nodding on the side and Bhajji was revving up the Hummers. There’s been enough breaking news about the girl, the location, menu, cost per plate, di...(more)

Image via Wikipedia The Indians broke one jinx that was prevalent for 15 years now - Asia Cup victory - it is time for them to look forward to the 28-year jinx next year. The World Cup victory (last in 1983).The Indians have achieved g...(more)

The selection of Suresh Raina in the Indian Test team to tour Sri Lanka is a clear indication that the IPL and subsequent ODI performances are influencing the selectors much more than other more conventional parameters. Nearly all internati...(more)

I have followed the Asia Cup closely, and while the win is heartening for Indian cricket, personally, it’s a setback for me. It rules out any chance I had to make a comeback to the one-day squad. The process for my return was set-up by an...(more)

Image via WikipediaThe Indians might have made a good start to the Asia Cup today, by beating Bangladesh comfortably. The bowlers were not so great but they had good practice against the weaker team today. Hopefully, they will improve their...(more)

Seriously, did anyone enjoy those "Friendship" series a few years ago? Around that time India played Pakistan so frequently in a bunch of dull encounters.
After the customary tense political situations, of late we’ve only played Paki...(more)

What a scandalous headline, isn’t it?
The facts are quite boring. The squad for the Asia Cup has been named, and it’s more or less full strength, except it isn’t.
MS Dhoni (capt & wk), Virender Sehwag, Gautam Gambhir...(more)

India’s loss to Zimbabwe in the first ODI of the tri-series doesn’t matter too much. It is definitely a step backwards for us, but not because we lost.
It’s pretty clear that the whole point of this series, from the selec...(more)

India play Zimbabwe tomorrow in the first match of a tri-series. There are so many reasons not to bother with this series.
For one, it involves Zimbabwe, which is still a long way from a quality side. And there’s Sri Lanka. Again. Be...(more)

So the squad to tour Zimbabwe has been announced, and it is definitely a second-string side. Or as the selectors would call it, "a look into the future".
Squad: M Vijay, Dinesh Karthik (wk), Suresh Raina (capt), Virat Kohli (vice-capt), R...(more)

The T20 World Cup has gone exactly as expected, no surprises have been sprung. The big ’uns have all progressed to the next round. The minnows showed some fight and, being minnows, were overpowered before bowing out. The Afghans were ...(more)

Group C should be interesting. Indians and South Africans have played a lot of cricket recently, starting from the Test and ODI series before the IPL. They haven’t had a lot of time to rest, and the rapidly growing up Afghanistan will...(more)

The post-match presentation.
Ravi Shastri: What do you have to say about the loss this time, Sourav?
Sourav Ganguly: Strategy.
RS: What’s that?
SG: Strategy. That was a strategic loss.
RS: And what exactly is a ’strategic loss&...(more)

That’s what Raina and his rouges picked from the Windies to Zimba to India to Lanka. They dropped their pants in the one-dayers, then they put them on, and got lucky with the toss. You’d expect an India A side to beat the Zim mainstay. ...(more)
