Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala, India's most literate state with the best socio-economic indicators, has ironically a history of political killings in which virtually every party is involved. A recent RTI inquiry revealed that 56 people fell victim to internecine violence in Kannur in the decade from January 1997 to March 2008. Not everyone who dies is a political activist. Often, innocent citizens die in turf wars in which they have no stake....

Melbourne: Injuries are not the only factor that has hampered Shaun Marsh in a rollercoaster career so far. The opener also battled drinking problems before the slide of a fellow player, Luke Pomersbach, prompted him to mend his ways. Marsh, whose nagging back problem has troubled him no end, was also at times "more interested in partying and drinking his favourite vodka than batting" and was even suspended by Western...

Dubai: Sri Lanka's skipper Tillakaratne Dilshan says savvy fast bowlers Lasith Malinga and Dilhara Fernando could give his side the edge against Pakistan in the one-day international (ODIs) series beginning on Friday. Sri Lanka fielded an inexperienced pace attack during the three-Test series that ended on Monday with Pakistan 1-0 victors. It's a different team especially in the bowling. This (one-day) unit is really experienced. I have Lasith, Dilhara, these...

Sydney: Former Australian cricket captain Mark Taylor has said that all-rounder Shane Watson should remain a Test opener, to manage his workload in all forms of the game. With Shane wanting to open the batting and still batting well, I think - at the moment - it's best for Australia for him to stay opening the batting, Taylor said. But if you've got a couple of good openers in reasonable...
