The Ganguly Effect

January 15, 2007

IndiaTimes has an article on what it calls the ‘Ganguly Effect’. Sourav Ganguly took his place for granted in the Indian team, he was subsequently released from the captaincy role and then dropped… for a year.

Cricket: Anil Kumble v/s Tailenders

January 4, 2007

India’s always had problems with tailend batsmen in my opinion. Some idiotic tailender always manages to score a quick few runs against India, r dig in for a long time and prolong partnerships.

Sri Lankan Cricket

June 5, 2006

I am a keen follower of cricket and try to follow every country's games whenever I can. Every country goes through its lean patches. For me Sri Lankan cricket is going through one…although they do have Muttiah Muralitharan, the off-spinning wizard. With matches like these, I wonder why do they even bother to open with [...]
