Whatever happened to Indian batsmen's ability against spin?

They seem to have lost the skill to get well forward or right back against the turning ball

Enough with the bowling variations

In T20 cricket, using slower balls and other variations has become an invitation to get hit into the stands

20-Jun-2014•Sanjay Manjrekar

Can we do something about monster bats?

Modern bats are getting chunkier by the day, while not getting much more heavy. This gives batsmen an unfair advantage

The difference the threat of injury makes

Mitchell Johnson has brought the forgotten art of bowling to intimidate back into focus

11-Jan-2014•Sanjay Manjrekar

Go forward, not back

Why an initial back-foot trigger movement may not be a great idea

How about Sehwag in the middle order?

He has always talked about how he would like to bat lower down. Perhaps he should be granted that wish now

Day-night Tests? Bring them on

We need to stop being as precious as we are about the game's traditions if Test cricket is to sustain itself

The ball's swinging again

Seam bowlers have once again begun to pitch it up to the batsman and rely on swing. How will batsmen respond to the challenge?

More power to youth

India won the Champions Trophy in unfamiliar conditions and without many of their experienced players. What they had were free-spirited cricket and good fielding

Look to women's cricket for the game's lost pleasures

If you're a fan of spin and swing, you could do worse than become a fan of women's cricket

16-Feb-2013•Sanjay Manjrekar

Swing to win, India

Bowlers who can make the ball talk are what India should be looking to unearth

How Ashwin can turn his class to world-class

He has a terrific temperament for spin bowling and doesn't alter his plans just because he gets hit for a six. All he needs to do now is work on his fitness

Over to Patil

India's new selectors have to turn their backs on popular expectation and make bold picks

02-Oct-2012•Sanjay Manjrekar

Tendulkar not finished yet

He may have a problem with the full-length delivery but he's still valuable to India's Test side

05-Sep-2012•Sanjay Manjrekar

Blood them young, but be careful

India Under-19s may have won the World Cup, but if the selectors wish to pick some of them for the national team, they must make sure MS Dhoni backs their picks

03-Sep-2012•Sanjay Manjrekar

Anyone thinking of South Africa 2013?

The squad for the New Zealand series is just that, with hardly an eye on what will happen when India tour next

16-Aug-2012•Sanjay Manjrekar

Is it time to bury the ODI?

As far as the limited-overs formats go, the 50-overs game has showed it has probably outlived its usefulness

21-Jun-2012•Sanjay Manjrekar

Don't blame the IPL for everything that's wrong

Sleaze in cricket? There was plenty of it before the IPL came along

02-Jun-2012•Sanjay Manjrekar

The fans have voted with their wallets on the IPL

The tournament now has a following independent of the Indian team's performance

30-Apr-2012•Sanjay Manjrekar

The quest for three bowlers

Forget replacing Dravid; if India can find three world-class Test bowlers instead, they'll do very well for themselves
