Time to shed 'Calypso cricketer' tag, again

'Calypso cricketers' was the term, those happy-go-lucky entertainers, who might just pull off something exceptionally brilliant, but just don't do it with the regularity or professionalism of a champion

Taylor made for Tests

There seems to be a feeling that Taylor doesn't value his wicket enough, that his aggression is out of place in the longer form of the game. But often his best Test innings have been characterised by a willingness to play shots

Why isn't Albie's potential being maximised?

South Africa's use of the world's most experienced Twenty20 cricketer continues to baffle. Amid the third consecutive thrilling climax of the World T20, Albie Morkel cut a forlorn figure in field

One ball, 286 runs: fact or fiction?

Cricket has built up more than its fair share of urban legends over the years. Perhaps the most interesting of the legends are those on the middle ground: improbable, but not inconceivable; difficult to prove, yet also difficult to disprove

Australian cricket in a spin?

Ideally, something or somebody will come along to pull the Australians out of their spin stupor

Should Sehwag change his batting position in Tests?

Shifting him from the top of the order may not result in a directly proportional increase in his yield of runs

SLPL - a piece of a jigsaw puzzle

The SLPL has had mixed reviews - there are the fanboys of Sri Lanka cricket and then there are the ones who didn't get it at all

What ails Tendulkar?

You are likely to find special reports in newspapers and sports shows on TV on the way a certain Sachin Tendulkar has been getting dismissed

Criticising Mankading is double standards

A batsman who ignores a warning and continues to leave his crease before the ball is bowled is surely contravening the spirit of the game, rather than the bowler, even if it's unintentional

Quaint bookstore v glitzy chain

It is widely predicted that the older forms of cricket and bookselling will go the way of the dinosaur. But, like their book-loving counterparts, fans of the five-day format are a determined lot

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

How to boost English domestic cricket

I found myself undertaking ECB's new county cricket questionnaire, which they will hope to roll out to over a million people in the coming weeks, undoubtedly in order to ascertain some slightly more coherent proposals going forward

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

Will the mandarins snuff out Pietersen?

It appears that Pietersen appears poised to lose his battle against authority, and English cricket will have driven away another talent while the men in authority continue in their unrepentant ways

Is Vettori New Zealand's best Test bowler?

Without the need to try and attack Vettori, the subtleties that are so effective in the one-day game prove less effective in Tests. Does his all-round contributions mask his lack of impact at the bowling crease?

Cricket rules vs common sense

Alook at three new modifications to the rules of the game which seem dubious at best and at odds with the spirit of the game, at worst

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

Cricket: A potent tool of diplomacy

Whatever strides have been made for achieving thaws have been espoused by the love for cricket across the international border between India and Pakistan
