Ab humse kaun poochega ki - bhaiya score kya hua hain?
That’s what the chai-walla said on a news channel a few days ago, after it was announced that All India Radio was not going to broadcast the India-Pakistan series, the first test match of which begins tomorrow at Lahore. Chai-stalls and chai are to Indian […]

Before I get to the conspiracy theory, lets just compare Yuvraj’s contribution to that of Ganguly in the Delhi test. I assess test match performances in a manner that is unconventional: I believe Test cricket is about contributing to the teams cause, and that individual brilliance, though ‘pretty’, should only be seen in the context […]

(Note: Waqar gives competition to Srikanth and Siva for the worst Cricketer-Turned-Commentator award. Atul Wassan also in the running. Arun Lal too. Kapil Dev…Damn. There are so many of them, it’s not fair)
This is a situation that could have been avoided, but strangely enough, the Indian Board has actually fought for it. I’ve been speculating for the past few weeks, on how things would be with Sourav playing under Dravid, if the ban was revoked. Now that it’s happened, the dynamics on the field will be interesting […]
Two questions came to mind when I read Sunil Gavaskar’s article on John Wright not having renewed his contract because of abuse from some players.
Firstly - what was he thinking?
Secondly - was he thinking?
Much has been said since then, including an article in the Asian Age today that adds another incident to the list being […]
