    Best test match number 3 since 1970?

    What happens in England? In fact, be it in the Sub-Continent or England or New Zealand or West Indies Dravid has a superior average... Ponting only did better than him in S.A and of course in his own land...that said, Dravid did much better in Australia than what Ponting did in India...it's...

    India Vs England - What a Pathetic Performance by Dhoni

    Does the Dhoni/Jadav batting yesterday remind anyone of that Mongia/Prabhakar saga? Somewhere in the mid 90's, and the match was played in India for sure...can't remember the opposition...was it the West Indies? Any other detail about that match if any of you remember...

    38th Match - India v England

    picking Rohit Sharma over Ajinka Rahane did cost us our first test series win in S. A. Not picking Rahane here might cost India the world cup now. There is a clear gap between Kohli/Rohit and the rest of the batting order...Dhawan's injury exposed it more of course...

    India's Best ODI Team of All Time

    Yes. probably. But the difference is much thinner than what people generally consider. The way Dravid changed his game in the ODIs specially when he started coming in at no. 5 was a treat to watch...

    India's Best ODI Team of All Time

    Why is that? They have identical Econ but Kumble has better SR & AVG as well as better wicket/match ratio...

    India's Best ODI Team of All Time

    Almost same as mine, but that Ganguly/Sehwag thing. Ganguly probably the third best ODI batsman ever from India (and surely ahead of Sehwag as far as ODIs are concerned), but my reason of exclusion (at least from the first team) was not his batting ability. Going with Sehwag on top has an...

    5 Best ODI Batsmen of All Time

    1. Virat Kohli 2. ABDV 3. Viv Richards 4. Sachin Tendulkar For no. 5 slot there are many contenders. Ricky Ponting, Michael Bevan, MSD, Dean Jones and even for that matter, Greg Chappell's name spinning in my mind, is there anyone else you can think of for that number 5 or replace one or two...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    Vijay, Dhawan, Pujara, Kohli, Rahane, Rahul, Karthik, Ashwin, Bhuvi, Shami & Ishant was the combination I hoped they would go with...but then, hopefully, Bumrah, Parthiv & Hardik will make me swallow my words...it's not over yet by any means...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    There are many unexplainable decisions taken in this series, not playing Rahane, dropping Bhuvi, opening with Bumrah, making Hardik bat at 6 (for that matter even playing him in all 3 tests), and they do look bad when they are not working...hopefully this trip will make Kohli a better captain in...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2017/18

    Pujara may break all those Ravi Shashtri records in 92, hopefully 14 from 81 at Durban 7 from 48 and 23 from 139 at J'burg 10 from 76 and and 5 from 68 at P.E Hope he stays that long...

    How did India become the No. 1 Test Side?

    Really, this is a question I have been pondering over for quite a while now. India have won 3 test matches outside sub-continent and lost 17 since 2011 England tour (out of the three, two came against W.I in 2016), In last 7 years they played 23 tests in England, Australia, N.Z and S.A...
