Ganguly - What an insult? |

Congratulations to Warne. |
He has now taken 50 or more wickets in a calendar year on 7 occasions. It is also interesting to note that his two lowest years as far as SR are concerned are 2002 and 2004, so he seem...

Question for Aslam |
How often has the wicketkeeper not had the mist catches in a Test series. Dravid currently has three more catches than Patel, so the new keeper has a bit of catching up to do to c...

Leading batsman dropped mid series. |
Just wondering how often a player who is leading the sides batting averages gets dropped during a test series. As I noticed that the 'player' leading the Indian batting averages has

Tendulkar and Age catching up on him.. bullshit. |
Sachin started International cricket in November 1989. Which means he is completing 15 years of cricket in a few days. Most of his dissappointing knocks from recent times have been

Gambhir or Jhadav |
Who should open with Sehwag in the fourth test? Gambhir(GG) or Jadhav(DJ). GG (23 yrs) has a FC avg of 56 from 57 matches. He is known to be a fluent stroke-maker though ha...

Jadhav or Gambhir? |
both are lefty, but appear to be natural right handers (bowl rh). Gambhir is a bit younger and appears to have been in the national test team frame a bit longer. Jadhav though appears to hav...

Nehra or Paul |
With the zonal politics being rampant, I won't be surprised one bit if Shib Paul makes it to the playing XI ahead of Nehra. (If Ganguly gets fit for the Mumbai test). It may not be that...

Vass nearing a milestone. |
An aggregate of 1998 and 2* at the end of Day 4. He will be third cricketer to pass 2000 mark without a Test century. Chauhan's second position is under threat - just 86 runs to ...

Runs galore in ING Cup |
WA 329 (Voges 100 off 62 balls), NSW 6/325 (Haddin 120 off 110 balls). The Australian senior team's attitude to scoring is trickling down to state level and below. It is great to...

Adam Voges astonishing IMG knock |
100 not out (62), the last 50 from 24 deliveries. Anyone see it? Was the bowling crap, the batting lucky, was he just brilliant, or was it a combination of all three? His cu...

Now that the series has been decided |
We should see some meaningless performance from Indians in test 4 at Mumbai Two people who immediately come to my mind are Sachin and VVSL. What do you guys think?

Four changes... One from each zone!! |
Somewhat predictably, Patel and Chopra are gone! Yuvraj and Agarkar have also been asked to trudge back to their respective homes. Laxman is there... but only just? Cricketers who...

Sensational Win by the Aussies |

For people who are calling VVS Laxman to be dropped. |
VVS Laxman in the last 6 tests (3 in Pak and 3 in India) had a chance to bat in 10 innings. OF which he scored one fifty and failed in 9. Yes, he is going through a bad patch and people ca...
