    **Official** Indian Premier League 2013

    I was told last week that Royals will reach the second qualifier after defeating the Sunrisers. They will then meet MI and lose to them. MI will play CSK in the finals and will win it. All except the last have come true so far. The final bit might happen, just might, by default if rule 12.3 is...

    IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

    The biggest scandal in the game for as long as I can remember and yet this place has become silent as a tomb. Perhaps a tomb is appropriate . . . for the faithful may finally have taken time out for mourning . . . or is it a strategic time out ? By the way, does anyone have a "fresh" insight on...

    IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

    He is not. He has been arrested for betting and cheating besides other acts after four hours of grilling. He lost one rupees one crore (ten million) in the current edition of IPL alone. How much he actually bet and how much of it on CSK is anybody's guess. The stuff that was coming out of...

    IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

    From my FB page . . . . If you really love the game of cricket . . . Take a vow . . . NOW ! " I will not watch any more IPL cricket till BCCI is cleansed, Srinivasan goes, the politicians get out and the "*****footing" is put to an end" If you are not willing to do that then stop complaining...

    IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

    Its no rubbish. Earning one's keep, as Gavaskar was doing, is very serious business.

    Who is the worst wicket keeper to play 75 Tests as designated keeper

    Well a lot of things in the game, in batting as well as bowling, see players deviating from the strictly copybook. Keeping isn't going to be different yet there are deviations and there are deviations just as there are keepers and there are keepers :-) The individual flair and deviation from...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Completely agree. It's not a great wicket but no way as unplayable as is made out by incompetent batting. The partnership of Pujara and Vijay followed by Dravid and Laxman of even two years ago and a Tendulkar not trying to save face with shattered confidence, would have shown how much could...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    This (sachin's amazing escape from a plumber as plumb can be lbw appeal) is why he is against UDRS. It's a disgrace that BCCI , those who make money from BCCI and fans who can't see anything beyond supporting the "national line" continue to defend the indefensible

    Who is the worst wicket keeper to play 75 Tests as designated keeper

    Thanks for agreeing with me even with the qualifying tone of it :-) Yes people have no clue on what makes a great keeper but it does not stop people from arguing the case for the inclusion of poor keepers based on their batting skills. Lets at least be honest, as you are being so refreshingly...

    Who is the worst wicket keeper to play 75 Tests as designated keeper

    I am sure there are others better than Dhoni for he sets the bar very low but a keeper who has been in contention and is probably the best wicket keeper in the country by far is Wriddhiman Saha of Bengal and CSK The fact that you asked that question, however, shows how little attention is paid...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Yes he is the only senior who goes ahead into the years to come. I guess Sachin would be needed in the demanding away tours ahead but he is clearly past his best and one hopes for his sake that he manages to leave on a positive note. He has earned it and should not let anything spoil that...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    A bunch of youngsters really Ashwin Pujara Murali Vijay Shikhar Dhawan Jadeja On an a stage something like 5 tests each in their careers ! Add Buuwaneshwar and Kohli and the contributions of the seniors, Sachin, Sehwag, Ishant pale into insignificance. That augers well for India although more...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Out of 32 deliveries in the partnership, Dhoni faced 25 and scored 6, Sachin 7 from 7 Now that Sachin is run out, if India manges to win and Dhoni is unbeaten at the end, guess who is the great finisher ;-)

    "This is awesome bowling This is great bowling This is u believable bowling" Gavaskar crooning but unable to say anything about Dhoni's misery at the crease

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Yes. He had a clear inside edge and the ball moved, laterally a few inches in direction afte hitting the edge to hit the pad. The umpire missed it.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2012/13

    Completely agree. There are two changes one would like ICC to implement and, one hopes, BCCI won't have an argument to oppose 1 The choice of DRS or not should be left to the home side. Lets have DRS all over the world except Tests in India. 2. Let the bowling side choose the make of cricket...

    Shikhar Dhawan

    One more thing which stood out about this debut innings was the attitude of the debutant. As many have said, he was fearless. Yes that and much more. He was playing as if he was having nets and the senior bowlers in his club were taking a break. He was not just nonchalant , he was dismissive of...
