The Sachin Tendulkar Experience

Was it visual? A shotmaking feast of such delicious complexity, that one could often taste it in layers? Was it vicarious? The lower middle-class, living its most vivid world-beating fantasies through an aberration within their ilk

A hero in a dystopian wasteland

Just as Mad Max struck his own path through the Australian outback, Graham Thorpe was a bastion of consistency in the quagmire of batting collapses

25-Feb-2013•Peter Miller

Soul Man

Obituaries are hopelessly inadequate in a way. Frank Keating will never know what I owe him. I never got to know him well enough to tell him, but when I heard about his death on Friday evening it felt personal

25-Feb-2013•Sambit Bal

Tendulkar: I hate him like I love him

For a generation that believed success in life was directly linked to an engineering-college berth (or a medical-school berth), Tendulkar was an antithesis

The stories of Test cricket

Test cricket, at the heart of the game, is about narratives. We who love this form of the game tend to romanticise it, and this leads to incredible stories and epic tales

25-Feb-2013•Alex Braae

Growing up with Ricky

My emotional development as an adult seemed to run parallel with Ricky Ponting's career, as he was the cricketer who took me from my teens into my 30s

25-Feb-2013•Jarrod Kimber

A story about Sachin

It will be one of sports great tragedies if it gets to the stage where Tendulkar's attempted preservation of what he has left, is only acting as detriment to his legacy

An elegy for Peter Roebuck

It has been a year since Peter Roebuck committed suicide in South Africa

25-Feb-2013•Nishi Narayanan

Strauss' over-achievement

When England travelled to New Zealand for the 2007/08 tour, I didn't realise that Andrew Strauss was on his way out

How an epic at Eden touched a generation

Belonging to the increasingly dying tribe of the artist, was VVS Laxman. Very Very Special, indeed, and a saviour of India on many occasions

25-Feb-2013•VJ Subbu

When Laxman batted, nothing else mattered

Laxman's technique is marked by little footwork and a tendency to hang back in the crease that fosters an air of vulnerability around his batsmanship. Perhaps, it is this apparent susceptibility that creates a sense of beauty and delicacy

25-Feb-2013•Rutvij Merchant

The wasted talent that was Ajit de Silva

Ajit de Silva was one of the finest left-arm spinners that Sri Lanka has ever produced. He had nagging accuracy, biting turn and a lovely loop. Standing over six feet, he could extract bounce from the tamest of tracks

25-Feb-2013•Nirgunan Tiruchelvam

Lee's global legacy

He managed to balance his desire and focus while clearly enjoying his cricket, respecting his opponents and with it, the game's traditions and values

25-Feb-2013•Martin Gleeson

A commoner behind the stumps

He was not that brilliant a player for whom words would fall short; he was no Viv Richards, he was no Jacques Kallis, he was simply Mark Boucher; yet the announcement of his retirement has somewhere left us with a feeling of an unexplained gloom

25-Feb-2013•Soham Sarkhel

Meeting Tatenda Taibu

At an open session organised for the media in Chennai, Taibu came across as an engaging young man. He had a ready smile, sparkling eyes, and stories to tell

From Tanya D'Silva, South Africa

Ian v Greg at the Chappell backyard

The Chappell brothers' has to be the ideal childhood, one every lover of cricket would commit heinous crimes to enjoy

25-Feb-2013•Sidharth Monga

Here lie Trumper and Fingleton

Waverley Cemetery in the Bronte suburb in Sydney is a picturesque and peaceful resting place

Tales of the Don

Neil Dansie was one of the last men to see Don Bradman get out from 22 yards away
