A nautical encounter with the Caribbean heroes of the 1960-61 tied Test

05-Aug-2015•Samir Chopra

The theatre of the DRS

The relief at the howler overturned; the vindication of the accurate umpire - the dramas of the review system are many, and many of them are entertaining

19-May-2015•Samir Chopra

Turn down the telly, turn up the radio

There was a time when cricket fans felt TV commentary wasn't descriptive enough. Now its verbosity makes us turn back to the radio

17-Apr-2015•Samir Chopra

When being an India fan doesn't mean being filled with despair

Three painful partnerships, but only one - in a World Cup final - has a happy ending

19-Mar-2015•Samir Chopra

Throw open the gates to the Associates

Keeping them in the World Cup will inspire their countrymen to dream bigger and also prevent the game from being monopolised by a small club

India's new captain needs to realise talking is sweet but winning sweeter
