    Well, that line can be used to describe many cricketers over the years but surely performances (as measured by statistics) mean something and such a glaring disparity between home and away averages says something about his (adapt)ability? What was so special about him that this should be...

    Compton averaged 60 at home, 36 away - why so much love for him?

    Hmm, not quite. Early on, he used to bowl a shorter length, get awkward bounce and use that angle and subtle movement to take wickets. He was pretty consistent without being too dangerous but he had the ability to take wickets without much help from the pitch (for example, that test against...

    India squad for T20 WC

    Good selections but do they really need four reserve bowlers? Can't see a batsman getting injured but if it happens, Dhoni will have too many bowling options.
