Lets just get this out of the way.
We went there with our cricket at a pretty low point. Knocked out of the World Cup before the Super 8s, talk of rifts within the team , a coach who we could find nothing right with and Sachin and Saurav “rested” for the ODIs meant we were left to [...]
Sachin Tendulkar. 254 runs. 127 avg. 2 centuries.
Yes, its against a weak bowling attack and its on batting surfaces but its still the highest in his team.
But over at Cricinfo, Sidhartha Monga combines with Stats editor S Rajesh to ask this. Whither Tendulkar ?
Sorry ?
Maybe its because there’s a lot of cricket being [...]
So here’s a case of a gamble paying off. Handsomely. Had spoken in this post about how India’s team selection for the second Test was a huge vote of confidence and hence, a part of the battle won before a shot was fired - or a coin tossed.
India have now gone on to [...]
326-0 after being put in on day one.
There’s Dravid on an “effortlessly brilliant” (Cricinfo’s words) 88 and Sachin at the crease. And yes, thats 3 and 4 batting with the team at “no loss” cos the openers retired hurt from heat exhaustion basically.
The weather forecast (at least at the moment of writing is [...]
In a move which oozes confidence and sneers at short sighted doubters like this one here, Rahul Dravid has announced the 12 for the game starting tomorrow morning at Mirpur.
And no, there is no sign of any pressure of having missed chances or the risk of going home 0-0. What there is , is a [...]
Sun Tzu said ………………..that if you see ground or position to be gained but do not act, you are weak.
I’m a huge Dravid fan. But no matter how I cut it, Day 4 and 5 of the Chittagong Test were not the perfect antidote to a skipper doubtless on the low end of [...]
End of day 2 and we’re 384-6 - its been 97 overs of play when there should have been about twice as many. We’ve got them at about 4 an over. The “rest” seems to have done Sachin and Ganguly some good with both getting centuries. One gets 100, the other gets 101. And they [...]
Yeah yeah .. One shouldn’t cry over spilt milk.
But as we sealed the series with a win in the second game today, one was still left wondering about wtf ( I still love “whiskey tango foxtrot” - and thats basically cos I cant dance to save my life) we were going through mentally with [...]
When you think about it, its just like it is for most of us. Its a day at the office. But it isn’t really, is it ?
First game today between India and Bangladesh kicks off in about a half hour’s time. (They’re not showing it here in Singapore say the looters at Starhub.)
There’s the background [...]
