98 all out, and in truth it was a collapse most could see coming. The Australian batting line-up has been kept alive by the consistent Shane Watson, before super hero Michael Hussey and ’keeper Brad Haddin guided the score to respe...(more)

One of the main criticisms of the UDRS is the way it can ruin the spontaneity of a moment. A perfect example is Peter Siddle’s wicket of Stuart Broad to complete his hat-trick. When Aleem Dar raised his finger the Australian team, ...(more)

Just in case you haven’t read the story that is making all the news, here it is. Don’t deny it, Aamir and Asif are spot-fixers.  Mazhar Majeed, the match-fixing leader, said the day before the Test exactly when the no-ball...(more)

First of all, Suraj Randiv meant to bowl that no-ball and thus deny Virender Sehwag his century. There is no doubt about that. Spinners – in fact, no bowlers (unless they are getting paid off) – overstep by that much.  Now,Â...(more)
