It was hardly likely that Mumbai would host the second Test as scheduled against England in the expected aftermath of the heinous terror attack. The BCCI, in a move to appease the ECB further, have shifted the venue. But the question is: is the...
Teams that are aiming to go to the top or trying to stop at the top are forgetting one key essential that makes a well rounded, potent team – the role of the spinner.
One could see clearly that Kevin Pietersen was making all...
The England team has landed in team India. But they want to forget the events of the last ten days in a hurry. After all, what team comes into a ‘big match’ series stating that they lost the previous encounter because they were...
Australia has replaced Pakistan as India’s fiercest rival, a fact established and discussed previously. But in the context of world cricket, any encounter between India and Australia raises the question – is the Indo-Australian series...
While South Africa are still lingering over their disastrous one day series against England, the hosts have been over the moon and their direction has only been upwards since Kevin Pietersen took guard as skipper. Now the team is hoping for...
