A Real Test Match
Many series are going on at the same time: India versus Sri Lanka, Australia versus West Indies and England versus South Africa. But the best play right now is the Test match between New Zealand and Pakistan. New Zealand, put … Continue reading
India Needs Bowlers Who Take 20 Wickets
What was the difference between the India of the 1st Test against Sri Lanka and the India of the 2nd Test? OK, I will wait while you compare the two scorecards. The only difference was Mishra and Sharma went out, … Continue reading
Is India Going Down to Sri Lanka in this Test?
What in the world has happened to the Indian cricket team? Before the series, I thought an Indian whitewash was a slam dunk. Instead, I look at a 165-run deficit with Sri Lanka still having 5 wickets in hand, and … Continue reading
Why the ICC Test Rankings Make No Sense
I am not a huge fan of Australian domination of cricket, as I feel that cricket is boring if one team wins all the time. At the same time, I cannot find myself to agree in any way with the … Continue reading
Ashes Predictions in the Dust
Like Ducking Beamers did, I took a look back at my Ashes predictions. It was not a happy experience as I got most of them wrong. Surprisingly though, I got 4 out of 5 Test results right, the only one … Continue reading

At Least England Won’t Lose 0-5
The first day of this Test was, without any doubt, the worst day of the series for England and it promises to get even worse. Australia seem intent to inflict as much pain on England as possible. And unless England … Continue reading
An Anti-Climax
It was never going to be an easy task for England to force a win and so it proved. Australia lost just three wickets all day and did not invite England to bat again. As I mentioned yesterday, Australia’s one … Continue reading
What to Look for on Final Day of 3rd Ashes Test
Once again, it feels very strange to see England in the driver’s seat in a Test against Australia. After the Cardiff Test, many people pointed out that England, having been outplayed, had no right to celebrate. But right now, it … Continue reading
