They have pace, and while that's refreshing for Indian bowlers, it does not lead automatically to wickets

Why are the likes of Dhoni and Tendulkar considered off limits when it comes to discussing selection?

They have greater depth in their bowling now, and a few of their batsmen have made large strides

When you pick players for reasonable ability in two disciplines, that affects your ability to win Test matches

And other thoughts and reflections on the India-New Zealand one-day series

Their batsmen haven't quite been reading the length well, or reacting to make late adjustments when needed

West Indies v India was not a good advertisement for the format for a number of reasons

The three most prolific batsmen of this IPL are extraordinary in distinct ways

They have the potential to become a quality international limited-overs team, and to do it quicker than Bangladesh did

Watching them at the Asia Cup was to revel in high-quality bowling and batting

For a change, it is the bowling line-up that gives cause for optimism

The old precept of bowling on a good length doesn't work when pitches are flat and batsmen fearless

When faced with batting-friendly tracks in recent times, their bowlers have just not been equal to the task

The fans of today have got used to India winning at home; they want to see them beat the world's best abroad - which they hardly ever get to see

Day-night Tests are a good idea because they are aimed at addressing falling viewership figures

He is unlike his spin predecessors in a few ways, and though he hasn't impressed overseas, that seems likely to change

He seems to have let the pursuit of results change his captaincy

It looks like he has lost his main weapon in an attempt to get his bowling speeds up

His game is built around good hands, ball sense, and not much foot movement. His rightful position is at No. 5, where he has done well

His misplaced aggression in Sri Lanka, and the fact that he offended more than once, is a poor reflection on India
