CBFS should have been more accommodating

England has already arrived in India and Australia has announced that it will go ahead with its tour of strife-torn Zimbabwe

Vaughan dismissal, leg theory legitimate tactics

There was nothing unsporting about the way of the Michael Vaughan dismissal, handling the ball and there was nothing unsporting about Ashley Giles bowling to Sachin Tendulkar, so-called leg theory

Misbehaviour of players on field on the rise

I think that the ICC umpire, Ian Robinson of Zimbabwe should thank his lucky stars that he was standing in a Test match that involved New Zealand and not South Africa

ICC has penchant for shooting itself in the foot

We have this extraordinary situation

Beyond Sri Lanka's Under-19 tour of Pakistan, the international scene is quiet in Pakistan

Wasim's Sharjah spell was most magical

I think that television footage of Wasim Akram's spell of six overs for seven runs against Sri Lanka should be sent to all those learned critics who have been shouting from housetops that this great fast bowler is over the hill

Players need protection from accusers

Just as well that there was no ICC Anti-corruption Unit in the times of David and Goliath

24-Oct-2001•Omar Kureishi

Disturbances report greatly exaggerated

All the signs are there that the Sharjah tournament will go ahead, the most positive of which is that Pakistan has announced its squad

Sooner world get back to routine the better

Glued as we have all been to television watching on it, frightening pictures that have a surreal quality, there has been no time to watch sports and when I did turn on the television to watch the One-day International between South Africa and

Going will be tough for minnows Bangladesh

Bangladesh cricket has come a long way since I took a private team to Dhaka in 1985

Cricket has become part of Indian foreign policy

As I write this, there is still no news whether India will play in the Asian Test Championship and I am frankly at a total loss for words

Wasim should be an automatic selection

A hale and hearty Mark Twain decried reports of his death as "slightly exaggerated." I can't help feeling that speculation that Wasim Akram's career may be over comes in a similar category

Wisden must do some soul-searching

There would have been no fuss had someone else, other than Wisden, brought out a table or a ranking of the game's best batting and bowling performances
