Vernon Philander broke in to the international scene in 2007 in ODIs and T20s as an all rounder, but was dropped after some not so impressive performances. His recent return to the international cricket and that too in test matches is nothing short of phenomenal. His achievements in otherwords are Bradmanesque. Today with his ‘yet another [...]
Last year I wrote an article about Pollard ( The Joy of Watching Pollard) on how he makes cricket simple and beautiful. Lot of people did not agree with that and said that he is not a cricketer at all (just like what Michael Holding often says). Today he proved yet again what a player [...]
Many cricket pundits and commentators termed this Asia cup as boring and as ‘yet another subcontinent tournament’.

Mumbai Indians Vs Chennai Super Kings is always a treat to watch. They are evenly matched and the head to head shows it. However this match was pretty an one sided affair, thanks largely to some splendid fielding and the powerful striking of Richard Levi. This match is a testimony to the planning behind the [...]
New Delhi, June 8 (PTI): Seven weeks of Indian Premier League has turned from a rank outsider to a household name and he is enjoying every bit of his stardom but is keen to retain the humility which has been the hallmark of his two role models Sachin Tendulkar and Roger Federer. “I have always [...]

Stubborn critics would still say, “He is just lucky to have a team that does the job for him most of the times” but in reality, they are forgetting one of the most fundamental axioms in cricket – ‘A captain is always as good as his team’.
“It was so heart wrenching to see the younger members carry him on a victory lap through the perimeters of the Wankhede, as if to say, this one is for you Sachin, the 37 year old grandpa of Indian cricket, for you Mumbai, for gifting us the son of the soil and for you India, for giving us its most precious jewel ever.”
“So, here ends an eventful chronicle in the history of Indian Cricket. Sachin’s Mumbai fairy tale finally comes true. And I bet it will take another ‘280’ years in the minimum to get tired of seeing the winning clicks.”
Over the past 24 hours media reports say that the Indian players are not happy with the action of Saeed Ajmal and are terming it as illegal.
