So Antigua is the perfect wicket for a draw

With fans at the Kensington Oval in Barbados yelling for a quick West Indian victory on the fourth day, the Indian tail finally wagged

The past week has already seen a three-day Test match with Pakistan swamping New Zealand at Lahore

It was a frustrating day at the office for the Indians, the kind when almost nothing goes right, the world seems a cruel place, and circumstances just plummet downhill

The Indians dislike Barbados as much as they like Port of Spain - or possibly more

It was a day of nail-biting cricket, make no mistake about that

The day began with India on top and looking to convert a strong position into a winning one

When Marlon Ian Black, MIB, dubbed, "Man In Black" after that famous movie, was called into the team to play in place of the injured Mahendra Nagamootoo there was talk about him being the man to trouble the Indians

Seven ones are seven Seven twos are fourteen Seven threes are twenty-one Seven fours are twenty-eight Seven fives are thirty-five... Boring as hell

With puddles the size of little lakes all around the outfield, play was called off without a single ball being bowled on the final day

It was one of those days for India abroad

The first two days' play of this Guyana Test match - and it can be called thus for more reasons than just the venue - threw up tremendous excitement from stylish batsmen

There are always two sides to each coin

Legendary left-arm spinner Bishan Bedi talks about a wide variety of topics from chucking to the fine art of spin bowling.

It took 15 years of Test cricket, one retirement, and 93 Tests before Carl Llewellyn Hooper repaid fans at his home ground at the Bourda Oval in Georgetown, Guyana with a handsome century

In the recent past, two former greats have criticised the current cricketing set-ups of their respective countries

One has a penchant for tall scores in domestic contests

After a commanding performance at Mohali that saw India's batsmen notch up 320 in 50 overs, the same line-up of batsmen slumped to 191 all out at Kochi

Setting a team 320 for victory in a day-night one-dayer brimming over with excitement is a sure way to do one of two things - set up a tense run chase where the match goes right down to the wire or, more often than not, play the opposition right out

Dinesh Mongia and Yuvraj Singh's styles meshed perfectly and took India to a mammoth 333/6 in 50 overs, practically batting Zimbabwe out of the fifth and final one-dayer at Guwahati
