The current Indian skipper's batting is being compromised by the responsibility of leading the team. It's time to rethink the strategy. Posted July 29, 2007 by Madhusudan Rao
One session against Victoria does not define a tour. The Indian players need time to acclimatise and you can be sure that come Boxing Day, they will be reading and willing in Melbourne. Posted December 21, 2007 by rohit sakunia

The salaried selectors came up with virtually the same 15-man World Cup squad predicted by our man on the scene in India. He reckons the job should have been left to the captain, core players and coach. Posted February 26, 2007 by Sagar Joshi
It seems people have become so used to “use and throw items” that even human beings don’t escape the same treatment. Posted October 11, 2008 by rohit sakunia

After the successful series against Bangladesh, Rahul Dravid and Co are looking to a much sterner challenge. Posted June 04, 2007 by Madhusudan Rao

As a batsman he's got the lot, so why can't Yuvraj seem to make the transition from one-day wonder to Test match marvel? Posted July 16, 2008 by Amit Masram
If the Australians, South Africans and English can prepare green wickets for their home games, why can’t India prepare bone dry ones for its spinners? The Indian board should remember that home advantage is a right, not a privilege. Posted July 03, 2008 by Anon Payn
With just 25 wickets in his last nine matches, debutant batsmen picking up his googlies and tailenders surviving, Anil's days are numbered. Posted October 11, 2008 by Dr. Akshay Nair
