    The Cosy Club crumbling ??? . . . Indian Apex court out to set BCCI's house in order

    The Indian Supreme Court today gave clear "instructions" (although the court never uses the words till they pass an order which could be tomorrow) to the BCCI on what they suggested as the BCCI should do 1. Srinivasan should not be the President of the BCCI 2. Gavaskar should replace Srinivasan...

    ***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

    Kapil and his captaincy were a factor in India winning the world cup . . . a major factor. India wouldn't have even reached the semi finals without one of the greatest innings in one day cricket ever and the highest score in the shorter game at that time - 175 not out from 17 for 5 and 78 for 7...

    ***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

    With Newzealand just about a twenty runs ahead and five wickets down in the second innings and a very new ball in the hands of his most successful fast bowler, why would you bowl with no slips, no gully, no one close catching anywhere, a long on, a deep mid wicket and a deep fine leg . . . in a...

    ***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

    Dhoni has to be the most defensive Indian captain since Sunil Gavaskar. This Indian side is a revelation. For the young and inexperienced side they are, this team has not performed badly but one gets a distinct feel that with an Aussie or a South African leader they would have performed AND...

    ***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

    Kohli did not seem to be acting as if he hadn't nicked it - far from it in fact. As soon as he edged it his shoulders slumped and he went down on his bat head and eyes down as if saying "Oh sh## what have I done!" He did not look up for what must have been like 2 seconds and then as the Kiwis...

    ***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

    Serves, India, BCCI and all the cricketers, including Dhoni who won't stand up for UDRS, just right if India go on to lose the game ! And if it makes them realise the folly of their stupid obstinacy, Rahane's 'martyrdom' would have something positive coming out of it :dry: PS . . . and all the...

    Srinivasan becomes first Chairman of ICC !!!!

    Of course it is greed pure and simple from BCCI that has guided every decision of their's for a couple of decades now but surely the other boards could have stood up to them. Someone had to call BCCI's bluff at the very beginning and refuse to yield - throwing them out of the ICC if required...

    Srinivasan becomes first Chairman of ICC !!!!

    Ridiculous and tragic !! N. Srinivasan to become first chairman as ICC Board approves changes to governance, competition and financial models The International Cricket Council Board on Saturday approved a comprehensive resolution relating to the governance, competition and financial models of...

    ***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

    It was SRT who opposed it in the first place. During India's tour to Sri Lanka , I think, SRT was repeatedly turned down when he appealed against decisions that had ruled him out. Out came the great man with comments on how the system was flawed. Of course it wasn't perfect but it was much...

    ***Official*** India in New Zealand 2013/14

    There are those who will say Rohit Sharma is the "most talented" Indian batsman since SRT and then there are those who will point to his inconsistent record and bad-mouth him. The latter group needs to read those two highlighted words once again or, if they are fortunate to be watching the three...

    Rank your country's commentary team

    To rate Siddhu at zero would be giving him more than he deserves. He is the pits.

    Rank your country's commentary team

    I like Dravid and Ganguly right on top. They have brought a modicum of respectability to the abysmal levels of cricket commentators in our cricket-mad nation. Kumble hash't done enough for one to rate him. I would like to add a great cricketer and a very fine commentator who, sadly, is so...

    Sachin Tendulkar to retire

    First things first - Its easy to run down anyone - its probably easier to run down great people - surely is going to get one more attention - Its easy to find flaws in a career that lasts very long. - Its easy to run down those who are deified - those who treat them as Gods are probably...

    IPL Spot Fixing Scandal

    It is not a rule of the IPL or its constitution. It is a part of the agreement/contract signed between BCCI and every Franchisee. It is the termination clause. The conditions under which BCCI could terminate the agreement and the Franchise are spelt out. One of them, under clause 11.3 (c) reads...
