Of great series and sucky DVDs

Of great series and sucky DVDs

The India-Australia series in 2001 gave us much joy. Too bad those who put it on disc for posterity weren't up to the task

The Karthik-Dhoni dynamic

The Karthik-Dhoni dynamic

Every time Dinesh Karthik looked set to cement his spot in the India side, MS Dhoni seemed to emerge as an obstacle. Until now

There'll always be takers for easy money

There'll always be takers for easy money

Wish I was at the G

Wish I was at the G

Life is tough but cricket is harder

Life is tough but cricket is harder

Tendulkar's revenge

A rivalry that used to be hotly contested and for a decade produced some of the finest cricket in the world seems to have been sidelined by the Australians because of an obsession with their Ashes preparation

Was Steve Waugh really a crisis man?

Was Steve Waugh really a crisis man?

Cricket between the ads

Cricket between the ads

Watching cricket on TV in India is getting depressing because of the inexcusable and illegitimate plethora of intrusive advertisements in the cricket telecasts
