    The cricketing nation with the most praising/criticising media?

    nice question! Indian media is OK- there are some good sensible writers and journalists around but there are a lot of morons as well. The worst of the lot has to be the journos from Times Of India (was a great paper but now is more like The Sun). What irritates me the most about television...

    Mohd Sami joins ICL

    Without meaning to criticize other forummers, I would like to point out that some of the matches Sami played against India (Both in Pakistan and in India) Were on some of the WORST pitches ever.

Australia have been extremely fortunate to have a player who was not only exceptionally good keeper but also a brilliant batsman at no.7. I...

    ***Official*** Commonwealth Bank Tri-Series 2007-08

    Congratulations to India! But I for one, am so glad that this tour is over. Man, it was just controversy after controversy. And I couldn't even enjoy the cricket. Both teams, both sets of fans and both sets of media were utterly juvenile trying the whole "he started it.." crap. I just hope that...

    Indian starlets risk being swallowed

    Nice comment and I agree with you. But the question of management in SPORT is not a concept that is well known in India. :@

    Indian starlets risk being swallowed

    Well, its expected isn't it. but the thing with India is that there are always bound to be good cricketers who come up because of the passion for the game but we are never going to be the champion side that Australia is if we are going to rely on talent alone.
