Western Australian Cricket Association. No other venue in test cricket evokes the buzz that this serene looking ground, situated in probably the most isolated big city in the world does. Cricket writers suddenly turn war correspondents usin...(more)

You’re 18 years old. Tall, thin to the point of anorexic. Left handed. And you are part of an endangered species. You can bowl a cricket ball at blinding pace, and make it do things in the air and off the pitch. In your last 11 innings wh...(more)
The best thing about being an Indian viewer of the Football World Cup was that you were there only for the football. Sure, I had my evolving list of favourites through the tournament.I started off as a staunch Argentinian supporter, donned ...(more)
You know how it is when watching one of those shows titled “World’s wankiest bloopers” or similar. Where people send in video evidence of their attempts at getting eliminated from the gene pool. The skateboarder coming dow...(more)
Growing up in a city that is a scaled up model of a can of sardines when it comes to open spaces meant that you learnt to improvise when it came to playing outdoor sports. The ‘garden’ patch behind the apartment block served as the foot...(more)
I hope India choked against Sri Lanka on May 11th 2010. I hope that seasoned professionals with significant amounts of experience lost the plot in a crunch game. I hope it was technical deficiencies brought about by an all-consuming focus o...(more)
The curse of the group format is upon us. Four days into the tournament, theoretically, six super-eight spots are still up for grabs, India and West Indies having claimed the other two. Realistically, they have all been decided. We have fou...(more)

25th april was the big finish to the most-watched Indian Television event spanning a month. The best team of the tournament played the comeback team, and lost. As a Mumbaite and foremost, an SRT supporter, I’d had a reasonably satisfying ...(more)
Chennai Superkings V Mumbai Indians The most consistent team over the 3 seasons versus the most dramatic turnaround. Chennai have had to rely on spectacular individual performances to make it this far. The fact that they have made it inspit...(more)
10. Fielders being penalized for accuracy with ricochets resulting in ‘overthrows’, which is a misnomer considering the throw was perfect
9. Batsmen being rewarded for being beaten by the bowler who find their edge to give a...(more)
Scene opens to a black and white closeup of a sweaty teenager, the three-striped cap most prominent, alone on a field. A fuzzy background shows an empty looking stadium. The kid’s voice in voiceover says…“I can’t sin...(more)
I have been a doubter of the IPL from the beginning. Uninspired team names, pointless cheerleaders, camera angles constantly zooming in on celebrity team owners, barrage of bad advertising, all that, it turns out can be tuned out. It’...(more)
I like writing my Tendulkar posts on days when he doesn’t score too many. That’s when there is a lull in the torrent of posts about him. This one is about the one time I experienced a Tendulkar innings from about 100 yards from ...(more)

Continuing from the last post, what makes a good ODI batsman?
Consistency: Yes, the high average is an obvious sign of a good player, but the quality of the runs matter. Shorn of the freebies collected against the likes of Kenya, UAE, Holl...(more)
What makes a good ODI batsman?
Is it one who takes the attack to the opposition in the first 15 overs? One who successfully finishes run chases? Has a high average from consistent performance? Has a high strike rate to indicate he make...(more)
There are probably as many “top-10/20/100 best players” lists as there are cricket journalists. Over the years, forests have been leveled in order to present rigorously analytical points of view about why player A is better than player ...(more)

With one of the more mediocre Ashes series in progress, I believe it is time to delve into that age-old (well, atleast 3-4 year old) debate about

The intent is to explore the question from a variety o...(more)
