    *Official* New Zealand in India 2010

    Yea he really is something. Reverse swing ftw!

    *Official* New Zealand in India 2010

    Not that surprising really. We've played outside the subcontinent once (NZ) since summer 2007 so these guys have categorically been playing on flat tracks. I think Zaheer-Sree-Ishant if they stay fit will be a real handful in SA and England. Edit: Oops I meant twice. Australia 07/08 too.

    It's good for SA that this happened before the WC.

    Yea, this... Well, there is no point arguing right now. We will just have to wait and see what happens in SA.

    Test Team World Rankings

    WI certainly had more holes in their record than just NZ. They lost in India in 78/79 and drew Aus in 81/82, while constantly drawing series against Pakistan throughout their reign. I see your point, but still, I think it's unfair of you to say that India have to win every single tour away in...

    Test Team World Rankings

    Hey guys I just wanted to say one thing. Aussie, you say that the West Indies team from 76-91 was "number one". But it's not like WI had won everything home and away by 1976 (In fact they had just lost 5-1 in Australia!). It took many tours and many years to become so dominant - same with...

    Good chance for Dhoni to show what he can do.

    Curious about the SL spinner Ajantha Mendis, averaging 14 and 11 in FC and List A cricket respectively.

    What in heaven's name is Kumble doing? Theres 45 minutes left in the session, the morning conditions have been all but wasted, and the new ball has yet to be taken...

    Sree was getting it to reverse yesterday. Should have at least given him a couple of overs today to start with IMO.

    ***Official*** Sri Lanka in the West Indies

    Hmm I guess I was wrong. I read about the West Indies teams of the 80's blackwashing the English 5-0 in England so I just assumed it was a home/away thing. Made sense to me, and still does. Didn't realize it was just a WI thing though. Interesting.

    Dravid needs to get a move on. We need as many runs as possible in the next two sessions.

    Sehwag vs Smith

    The entire Indian batting line-up bar maybe Dravid and Tendulkar collapsed in that series though. Still don't think that's enough to judge him.

    Sehwag vs Smith

    I don't think this is entirely relevant since Sehwag actually hasn't had too many chances to play on seaming tracks. About the only example of failure in a series I can come up with is the SA series in 06/07 but those two years also happen to coincide with his worst run of form. I would give him...

    ***Official*** South Africa in India

    I think people are forgetting Dhoni's ability with the bat. On a pitch like this, he could be destructive, and if both he and Sehwag fires in the next day or two, we would have an excellent run rate to work with to win the test (depending on how the spinners go in the second innings). Also...
