The wrong signals

The dispute over cricket broadcast rights is avoidable and a betrayal of the fans' interests

23-Jan-2007

Watching Tendulkar was embarrassing

The fourth wicket stand produced 24 runs in 15 overs, to which Tendulkar contributed 9 in 45 balls. It was worse than tentative and diffident, it was supine and unbecoming.

A genius in wrist and mind

Warne could make the batsmen feel inferior, his craft went way beyond deceit

'Too much talk about talent and ability' - Wright

John Wright, the former Indian coach, has recommended that people read his recently-released book - John Wright's Indian Summers - before forming any sort of judgement on it

One man doesn't make a team

India might have won a historic victory in the West Indies, but success shouldn't be allowed to obscure some of the problems plaguing the side, especially the unhealthy dependence on Rahul Dravid

Leave Americans to baseball

By now, we should be inured to the priorities of our cricket boards and the reality of one-day cricket

18-May-2006•Sambit Bal

Joining the ranks of the mortals

For years Tendulkar has carried burden of irrational expectations of a cricket-mad nation but his recent struggles with the bat have been too palpable and too prolonged

The need for balance

Sambit Bal on why the BCCI's new-found aggressiveness is a two-edged sword

Three comebacks, umpteen questions

That the selectors picked a squad of 16, and could still only find place for six bowlers, and shows the collective bankruptcy of integrity of a selection committee of whom so much more was expected

A poignant end

Battle for No.2

Another series involving England has just ended, and Pakistan have stolen the headlines by winning their first Test series in two years

07-Dec-2005•Sambit Bal
