    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Does India really have no fast bowling options better than this? Umesh? Ishant?

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Basically India cannot afford too many overs without Bumrah and Shami at one end. No one else looks likely to take a wicket.

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Still think India has the edge but the track record of this England middle order will make them nervous. Have a feeling the second new ball will be crucial but India needs to get another 2-3 wickets by then. Bumrah and Shami are looking dangerous and perhaps Jadeja will too on day 5.

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    The second review was reasonable but the first was horrendous and a complete waste. Now just one review and one can't help remembering a successful England 350+ chase where the lack of reviews proved fatal...

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Incidentally I bought a 4k 50 inch TV recently and this is the first significant cricket I have watched on it and it was glorious with the blue sky and green grass. We are lucky to be cricket fans in this era...

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    So nice to see Pujara doing well on his comeback. Such a typical gritty innings too holding the top order together against some testing England bowling and putting India in a dominant position.

    Impressive restraint by Pant!

    *Official* India tour of Ireland and England 2022

    Game slipping away from England especially with Pant looking in good flow. They badly need quick wickets to keep the target below 300 and give themselves a shot. If the target is above 350 in these conditions against this Indian attack I think it will be difficult.

    Andrew Symonds dies in car accident

    Man, it's almost as if the only time I end up posting here is the untimely death of some Aussie great.:( Symonds was maybe the key player in the greatest ODI side of all-time and perhaps the greatest power hitter since Viv. Enjoy his 151 against Sri Lanka in 2006, posted by Robelinda just 8...

    Here is the Dhoni finish. Sensational helicopter shot to finish and some great fielding by Amla too.

    *Official* IPL 2022

    BTW the loser in that game was also Punjab then called Kings XI though none of today's Punjab players were there, although ironically enough David Miller was on the team. I wonder if he remembered that game during this finale.

    *Official* IPL 2022

    Actually Cricinfo has the answer. Apparently it has happened three times: "Vinay: "this is the first time 12 scored of last 2 balls to win a game in ipl, right?" --- You ask, and our stats hero Shiva Jayaraman delivers. There have been three previous instances of two sixes being hit off the last...

    *Official* IPL 2022

    First Ipl game I have watched in a long time and what a thriller ! Has there ever been a game at any level where 12 runs were needed and scored off the last two balls ?

    Shane Warne dead at 52

    Saw his name in a Reddit headline and was wondering what he had done; surely he couldn't have died but sadly it was so. Trying to think of cricketers of his stature who died at a younger age: Marshall, Trumper, can't think of too many others. RIP

    Best team since Waugh/ Ponting’s Australia?

    FWIW Kohli has a win-loss ratio of 2.35 and Smith has 1.89.

    Best team since Waugh/ Ponting’s Australia?

    Despite this loss I would give the edge to India because of their home dominance. Smith's SA was good but they were too inconsistent at home: drawing against India and England and losing twice against Australia.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    So everyone agrees this is the end of the road for Rahane? He averages 20 over his last 15 tests and I think that is enough. He has a career he can be proud of with the Australia series as the pinnacle but India needs to move on.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    Why isn't Ashwin bowling? Might be handy against the new batsman and I reckon India just needs something different. Overall the Indian bowling hasn't been bad, especially Shami and Bumrah. In a tight game you really need a bit of luck with edges. And of course you need to catch those edges that...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2021-22

    Looking good for India with lots of movement but they need a wicket fast given how few runs they have to play with
