The game we all love, however
Atleast I thought that Australia were the favourites to win the series before it started based on their impressive performances in Pakistan and Sri Lanka and also based on the suspect Indian top and middle order batsmen. Perhaps, just perhaps, if only Australia weren’t too arrogant and had played a couple of games before the …
Pune 2017. Chennai 2020. England 2012. What is common among these games? The opponent had decent enough spinners and the Indian batsmen are not that good anymore against spinners. Coupled with a spin turning far more than expected, Indians were found wanting. The 3rd test done and dusted, literally. Lyon is a damn good bowler. …
Well, Indian team is smiling. They have a taken a 2-0 lead and cannot lose the series. Having said that there is much to play at Indore and in the last test. India have more or less qualified for the WTC finals in England. They will play Australia who have also qualified though there is …
Australia imploded. That will be an understatement. What were they thinking? How did the team go into the ground on day 3 with a set plan without any backup? Things are bound to go wrong and where was plan B? The answer to all these are moot now but the way Australia imploded on that …
After an decent display at Nagpur, India are reasonably confident going into Delhi for the 2nd test of the series. Winning this will ensure that they cannot lose the series and it will take the team a longway to ensure qualification for the WTC finals during the middle of the year. They will need to …
Well, Australia were quite confident before they arrived in the country. It wasn’t any false sense of security but rather based on solid facts. They had a successful tour of Pakistan and Sri Lanka and they were utter dominant at home. The batsmen were amongst the runs and the bowlers ran rings around their opponents. …
Well, it was in the making given how the Australian media cried foul before the start of the series. It was a thorough performance by the Indians. Ofcourse, they have problems of their own but for now, they can bask on the fact that they have overpowered a good Australian side with nonchalant ease. This …
Australia will have to blame their media. The first day of the much anticipated series between India and Australia, got underway at Nagpur. Prior to the start of the series, there were lot of chatter in the Australian media over the nature of the Nagpur pitch. No one knows how the pitch is going to …
Cricket is one of the most popular sports in the world, well, atleast in the cricketing world. It has gone through many changes and evolutions since its inception. Technology has been at the forefront of these changes, bringing new innovations to the sport and changing the way it is played, watched, and managed. The impact …
The India against Australia series is just a few days away. It promises to be an absorbing contest. Australia are under immense confidence after last year’s successful Asian leg whereas India, at home, are a formidable side. There are quite a few battles within the series whose outcome will very much decide who the winner …
