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...

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...

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 ...

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?

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...
