In the run up to the World Cup and in the immediate aftermath of the victory, I was chuffed about India’s bench strength. India seemed to be able to win matches despite some of their best players not playing games. They seemed to be a...(more)

Mahendra Singh Dhoni, has always talked about expectations. How his team is expected to win every time. He uses this to indicate the kind of pressure his team is always under. On the surface it makes me scratch my head trying to understand ...(more)

It’s just one bad series, India may just continue to win from this point, but this still happene...(more)

Is the Indian domestic cricket strong enough? Are we producing cricketers who are capable of representing the Indian national team? What are the performances seen in the domestic cricket that one can take solace from?A list of the batting p...(more)

It would be the understatement of understatements to say that the series has been full of action so far, but that doesn’t stop anyone from saying it either way.
Such competitive pitches... it could have been so much more than the on...(more)

Following up on the earlier post, I decided to look up the number of players blooded by India in the last four years who can potentially step up to the test arena (numbers looked up are from 2007 Jan)Shikhar Dhawan is the only other opener ...(more)



No point in writing any more posts about the on-going test series between India and England. Hence, decided to see how the Indian players can encourage themselves to come back in the last test at Oval - eleven different meansSehwag should n...(more)

There has been a lot of hand wringing about India’s status as the number one test team. India’s poor (euphemism alert) performance in England has generated a great deal of commentary. The general refrain is as follows; Indian pl...(more)

It has taken Stuart Broad roughly 7 days of Test cricket to flatten India. If he can hold up his performance for the second half of this Test; the series can be safely labelled Broad’s Pataudi Trophy. Of course it does not have the ...(more)

The Lords test confirmed to me what I feared after Dominica. India are a team that plays to it’s strengths and does well to hide it’s weaknesses. This India isn’t Kapil Dev’s 1986 India or Steve Waugh’s win-at-...(more)
