    Int ODI is one of the most competitve sports league in the world

    Over the years cricket has been criticized for its lack of depth in terms of competition. Currently odi cricket is at it peak in terms of competitiveness I doubt any of the soccer leagues around the world can match cricket in what has been happening over the past 2 years. I am enjoying what I...

    A tool or a gentleman?

    who do you enjoy more as a cricketer. An Akhtar and a Kohli or a Mr Nice Guy aka Dranvid and Younis. Ofcourse we are assuming both are quality cricketers nobody likes to see Faisal Iqbal sledging KP after getting LBW for zero by Collingwood.

    Non performing Captains

    Just read an article on cricinfo where they talk about pressure on Strauss due to lack of runs however he has been short of runs for a while now and this has only come to the fore when the team has lost. So do you think a free ride is justified for a captain just because his team is winning...

    O' Tendulkar please retire now

    You are the 2nd best batsman I have ever seen after Lara watching you scratch like that is kinda painful to watch. So do the right thing and call quits on your career after this game rather then keep searching for that meaningless 100th 100.

    Australia cricketers ability to come back as better players

    Has to be the best in the world. Langer, Hayden, Martyn, Katich and even Clarke were all dropped they worked on their game and made strong comebacks in this series Hilf is another guy whose making a comeback and is already looking excellent. If you look at sub cont cricketers majority of them...

    If Sachin misses out on 100 centuries

    I know its almost impossible and he will surely score the elusive one but say if for some reason he retires with 99 centuries, will this stat develop the same legacy as Bradman's 99.94 average or it will be forgotten as a meaningless PR machine made up stat ?

    Should India lose ICC test ranking points for refusing to play Pakistan?

    The latest news going around is BCCI has once again given cold shoulder to PCB regarding the resumption of billaterial ties and the March-Aprail 2012 series looks unlikely as the GOI looks unlikely to give clearance to BCCI for any future series. Now if my memory is not playing tricks with me...

    Cricketers you would like to invite for a cup of coffee

    or a pint of bear if your preference is off the alcoholic variety. Younis Khan- Comes across as a genuinely nice bloke every time you see him doing interviews on the telly. Also being a senior most cricketer it would be nice to get an insight at how the Pakistani dressing room atmosphere has...

    Sehwag greatest ever in sub continent?

    Batting records | Test matches | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo Average of 60 with a SR of 85, there might be a few who may average a touch higher but as an avg/SR combination don't think there can be many better.

    Best years for test cricket?

    Both in terms of quality as well as competitvness. I will go for late-mid 70's to early 80's though abrupted by Packer years. An all time great Westindies side two very good Australian and English teams, Pakistan and India coming of age and starting to win abroad and a NZL side with Hadlee...

    Areas of improvement for current test sides

    I will start with my team Pakistan 1.An attacking middle order batsman The current test middle order of Younis,Azhar and Misbah has been solid and consistent however if you can have one criticism it is all three play at a similar tempo which can stall the game for Pakistan. An attacking middle...

    What made Viv Richards special?

    Most of the old timers be it former cricketers, journalist or just fans rate him as their favourite batsman. have always wondered what made the great man even more special among the special players. He does not have the best average among his peers, nor is he the highest run getter unlike a...

    Pakistan since spot fixing debacle

    Have won 3 series drawn the other 2. They don't play pretty cricket but its certainly is effective. Props should be given to Misbah he took over side whose reputation was in ruins and he's got good results out of them. Unfairly or even sometimes fairly he gets bashed for being over defensive but...
