World Cup wish list - 1

Here’s my batting card for the World Cup: Tendulkar and Ganguly to open, Yuvraj, Dravid, Sehwag, Karthik and Dhoni to follow

Is the Indian finger spinner obsolete?

In the first seven years of this new century India has produced a queue of fast-medium workhorses…but not one distinguished spinner.

Let's keep Test cricket white

Test cricket is lovely because it happens in whites

The strange death of Indian cricket

Yesterday my son, who is fifteen, said: “ Last year we had a great team.” I was about to set him right, to say that it was nearly three years ago, in 2004, that we’d had something approaching a great team when Ganguly’s Goers had nearly beaten

Why laissez faire won't do for Test cricket

For the five-day game to survive, we need a BCCI that harnesses the market and tempers its profit-maximising logic to create a stable environment for the format

How not to close a great career

Sachin Tendulkar's media blitz in the wake of his 100th hundred has been unseemly and cheapens his legacy

Stylish in the trenches

Rahul Dravid's singular achievement was in employing defensive batting to winning ends

10-Mar-2012•Mukul Kesavan

Why the 100th doesn't matter

An "international hundred" is an artificial landmark and we don't need to be flying into a frenzy because Tendulkar is on the brink of a hundred of those

A republican prince

Pataudi was a legend when he started. His pedigree, flair, and epic disregard for his handicap, spoke to the anxieties and aspirations of a young India and to its hunger for heroes

Cricket's modern Zen master

It is tempting to see Virender Sehwag as a product of the limited-overs age, but he uses more or less orthodox strokes. The key to his success is that he has the ability to live in the present

A princely state

Pataudi brought to Indian cricket a dash of hauteur and a touch of heroism

What was Cricket Australia thinking?

How did anyone ever think Howard's nomination would fly? If this was a way for CA to rein in the BCCI, it was ill-conceived

06-Jul-2010•Mukul Kesavan

The small enforcer

It is a strangely conflicted mixture of rigorous self-denial and cathartic violence that make up Tendulkar's craft

14-Nov-2009•Mukul Kesavan

Haunted by virtue

A drug-testing regime as invasive as WADA's needs to be vigorously debated, and thanks to the opposition from India's cricketers maybe it will now be

10-Aug-2009•Mukul Kesavan

Lessons from Lahore

The notion of cricketers being immune to attacks was a myth that should never have been put to the test

Easy lies the head

Dhoni is different from other India captains, principally in the poise and calm he brings to the role

28-Oct-2008

The last tour

Why the Australia series marks the end of India's great middle order, and even, possibly, of the primacy of Test cricket

25-Sep-2008

Spin kills

Never before Mendis has a spinner dominated Indian batsmen so comprehensively and collectively

22-Aug-2008•Mukul Kesavan

The politics of morality

The West's hypocrisy over Zimbabwe may feel obnoxious, but the BCCI has to decide whether it wishes to be the patron-in-chief of a dysfunctional and compromised cricket body
