Rahul Dravid could call it quits soon!

Legends are never born; they are made through toils of hard work, sweat in practice sessions day in and day out. Rahul Dravid truly is one. Even as the talk of him ready to call it quits from Test cricket grow louder, it is learnt that the former Indian captain could hang his boots from [...]

India-Australia fourth Test preview

As I wait (yes, I still do) with bated breath to catch a glimpse of the Adelaide Test between India and Australia, a certain fear grips me. It probably will be the last time we would see the Big Three  — Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman — in action in a Test match [...]

The death of a cricket fan

I have to admit, albeit shamelessly, that despite India getting pasted at the ongoing 4-match Test series against Australia, I had woken up diligently to watch them perish day in and day out. Along with me, there have been countless who would have patiently seen yet another dream India winning a Test series in Australia [...]

India Drown Under

Wham, wham, wham, wham…….no am not describing any Phantom or a Batman movie, but Australia’s opening Bat Man David Warner. On a day when India’s old bats struggled, bided time, left deliveries outside the corridor of uncertainty, and shamelessly perished, Warner gave a lesson on authoritative batsmanship. His innings of 104 came in just 80 [...]

Time for BCCI to wake up and smell the coffee!

Most of the Indian fans will be finding themselves in a familiar territory. Yet another overseas series involving the Indian cricket team, and yet again, the men who took the field have failed to deliver. As the India-Australia Test series reaches the WACA (Western Australia Cricket Association) in Perth, the threat of the scoreline going [...]

Can India script a turnaround in Perth?

Given the way India is performing against Australia in the four-match Test series, I will not be surprised if the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) actually reschedules the Perth and Adelaide Test back in Chennai and in Bengaluru. Jokes apart, I have never understood the logic behind harping about individual brilliance regardless [...]

Australia 2 India 0

The India-Australia Test series is turning out to be grossly one-sided and I shudder to think that if a side boasting of the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Virender Sehwag can’t deliver the goods, who else will? To be honest, it’s just about 10 days since the series and I feel [...]

India-Australia second Test preview

How do you win with losers? Better still, how do you lose with winners? Well, this exactly sums up the fortunes of Australia and India in their ongoing Test series. While Australia pulled off a win in Melbourne with the help of rookies in the form of Ed Cowan, James Pattinson, Nathan Lyon their opponents [...]
