Rebel with a cause

Pietersen has always been an outsider of sorts and the fringe artist was best on display when he was taking on some establishment or the other

07-Feb-2014•Samir Chopra

Cricket always needs an underclass

History shows us that those who rule the game seem to occupy a centre they cannot bear to share with those at the margins

31-Jan-2014•Samir Chopra

The art of the chase

Over the years, Pakistan have time and again shown they possess the cricketing oomph to hunt down a fourth-innings target

26-Jan-2014•Samir Chopra

Sportsmen don't do it alone

Like with most achievers, their work is collaborative in a sense, borrowing from the efforts of others

17-Jan-2014•Samir Chopra

Why send-offs are ludicrous

Why do some bowlers feel the need to jeer the dismissed batsman as he walks off?

09-Jan-2014•Samir Chopra

What's luck got to do with being caught down leg?

To ascribe a dismissal resulting from a catch down leg side to bad luck is to confuse the workings of fortune with a poorly executed shot

03-Jan-2014•Samir Chopra

When an editor ate his words

India's World Cup victory in 1983 prompted some unforgettable banter between their manager and a magazine editor

26-Dec-2013•Samir Chopra

Staying up to watch

An all-nighter for cricket is not unknown to most serious fans, and sometimes they can be flaunted as badges of honour

18-Dec-2013•Samir Chopra

Test cricket, a companion to our lives

The format's leisurely pace allows you to monitor the proceedings while going about your daily routine

11-Dec-2013•Samir Chopra

Tendulkar, an expat's solace

Just when an Indian who moved to the US felt his connection with cricket grow weaker, a 16-year-old batting prodigy made everything all right

06-Dec-2013•Samir Chopra

Cricket teams are workplaces too

Close friendships with everyone on a team are never likely, no matter what the fans may think. More so in a top-flight team

30-Oct-2013•Samir Chopra

Cricket players or comrades in arms?

Can we imagine players to be just wage workers who, like the rest of us, have day-to-day issues with their colleagues and employers?

26-Oct-2013•Samir Chopra

Tendulkar: not a players' player

Perhaps fighting the BCCI is a losing battle but if there was one player who could have thrown sand in the wheels of their juggernaut, it was Tendulkar

16-Oct-2013•Samir Chopra

A day at Adelaide Oval

Australia v South Africa was so enticing that one spectator played hooky to be at the first day of the 2001 Test

09-Oct-2013•Samir Chopra

Two friends, lost in a maze

Thousands of Indian cricketers aspire to play for their college. Many promising ones slip through the cracks

01-Oct-2013•Samir Chopra

The hook: cricket's bravest shot

Other strokes may be more elegant, but there's nothing to quite match the elemental thrill of the hook

26-Sep-2013•Samir Chopra

World Cup qualification could give ODIs context

Bilaterals tacked on to the end of a Test series, or hastily arranged triangulars, could gather meaning if teams had something bigger to fight for. But will cricket's major teams ever agree to such a proposition?

20-Sep-2013•Samir Chopra

Whither the great cricket novel?

Cricket fiction has not really floated my boat. Who needs made-up heroes when the real-life ones are so wonderful?

10-Sep-2013•Samir Chopra

Tracking Sobie and the gang from afar

To a boy growing up in India, West Indies' 1973 tour of England came alive years later through a cricket annual

04-Sep-2013•Samir Chopra

A tale of two Ashes books

Two college professors, of politics and philosophy, in two continents, connect through their common love of cricket
