It’s a start that everyone wanted, a win in the opening game of the tournament. West Indies were totally outplayed today. Playing in the Brabourn stadium, the Indians played top notch cricket. West Indies winning the toss and electing to field, nothing could have been more better than what unfolded …

Mumbai has done it again and it’s the 40th time they have lifted the Ranji Trophy.  This time under Ajit Agarkar – the most experienced player in the side. (not ruling out Tendulkar, but Agarkar has been playing a lot of Ranji tournaments) Saurashtra were doing great this season until …

Victoria Azarenka – my favorite has given me a reason to smile today 🙂 ! She has successfully defended her Australian Open title. She has been playing exceptionally well in the recent past and we can see the results. In my last post, I had predicted Azarenka the winner and …

After a scintillating performance by MSD & Co. at Ranchi, its time for the team to put the final nail in the coffin and seal the series. The venue being Mohali, (a place that will suit England just because of the cool temperatures !) and the match scheduled to start at …

This match was surely a cake-walk. India take a 2-1 lead in the 5 match series. The next crucial match to be played up in Mohali. The crowd would have been disheartened not see their local boy come at bat at his home ground Thanks to Yuvi that the crowd got a glimpse …

Ranchi, the hometown of Dhoni or Captain Marvel or Mahi as he is know locally. This will be the first time, the Indian captain will be facing the home crowd. (Some of you might say his home ground is chennai !, In that context all stadiums are his home grounds !) Lots of people will …

There will be many people who might not agree with me, but these are entirely my personal views and have no intent of harming any individual’s or a group’s sentiments. I  fully respect the views expressed by others. Pakistan has been a place of conflicts for a brief period of …

This thought had always been in mind every time I read any sports article or news. It has been observed that the Indian men’s team of any sport is paid much more that what is given to their counterpart. Be it Cricket, Hockey, or any other sport, the system is biased to …

I am not a cricket analyst but have played professional cricket till the district level – Satara (Maharashtra). So, I have a sound knowledge about the game. The first ODI wasn’t as expected. The English team was termed as the under-dogs for today’s match, went on to win the match and take a lead of …

The second ODI between India and Pakistan is scheduled to take place tomorrow at the World Famous Eden Gardens, Kolkata. While the Pakistan team is sweating it out in their practice sessions, the Indian team as usual laid back and all in chalta hai (India’s favorite word ; meaning Ahh its ok ! Let is be). I agree that …
