To say that I expected India to win the CB series would be a lie. In fact, I am not even sure if they deserved to win. You could of course argue that.

Finally, the elusive and much awaited 42nd ton came. At Sydney Cricket Ground. Where it was most needed. Does anyone doubt Tendulkar’s match-winning ability now?
But, the credit for this glory […]

India in U-19 Cricket World Cup Final

This is a good co-incidence. Two Indian teams have made it to finals of two major tournaments. Doesn’t happen very often.

Lots of things happen– and get said– over a […]
