Before you begin to read The World Cup is at the halfway stage 2, please read The World Cup is at the halfway stage. In this blog, I will analyse about how the rest of the teams have fared so far and where are they headed. I will begin with New Zealand At the moment, …
The cricket World Cup is at the halfway stage. All the teams have completed 6 games with some of them sitting comfortably, while the others are a bit nervous. The defeats inflicted by the likes of Afghanistan and The Netherlands have actually kept the gates for certain teams open. There has been some brutal hitting …
This World Cup has finally got it. Close games. That too, a couple of games in quick succession. The first half of the World Cup has more or less been one-sided. South Africa and Australia piled on the runs. South Africa even annihilated England to the tune of 399, and Australia was no different. They …
It has been a good start for the Indian captain Rohit Sharma, with the bat and with his changes on the field. As for Cummins, it has not been an ideal start but with the win against Sri Lanka, he has atleast got the Australians off the mark. As for England, they do have severe …
Bharath has won both the ODIs so far in a comprehensive fashion. The batsmen were good and the bowlers were brilliant. It all looks like the picture is perfect.

Michael Atherton, the much respected British commentator, remarked during his innings that Crawley has not been consistent but if he can get himself set, he plays an innings of …
There is India against the West Indies and there is England against Australia. Famously known as The Ashes. It is no brainer as to which one is the more popular series. There cannot be a contrasting series than these. In the future, respective boards will have to ensure that they must not schedule mismatched series …
Yes, it is hard to wait for the 4th Ashes Test. Never in their wildest imagination, would Australia must have thought that come Old Trafford, they will be 2-1 up in the series with an outstanding chance of winning the Ashes outright at the second opportunity. They would have been happy to reach the halfway …
