Q: How can the second test top the first one? A: It can’t. But we all want to see if India can beat Australia again, and get the Bangalore monkey (no, not Symonds) off their backs. India has won only 6 Tests at Bangalore in 18 attempts, and none of those wins have come against Australia. Sachin and Sehwag average over 50 here (56.42 and 50.72 respectively for accuracy freaks), while Dravid (21.69) and Laxman (26.5) have poor records. Enough with the stat-mongering, you’d be dumb to go by statistics. This is the weakest Aussie team to tour India (open to a very one-sided, pointless debate), and...   See the complete post here

It’s time for cricket’s greatest rivals (until the Ashes) to face off once again. Many of the world’s best cricketers will take the field opposite each other in a battle that goes beyond rankings (India’s # 1 though). Expect swearing, tantrums, hissy fits, cheerful jousting, and delightfully synchronized dance-swimming. But enough about the Aussies. Some great cricket i...
