Dhaka: Pakistani all-rounder Shahid Afridi was the most expensive of a host of international stars sold at the inaugural auction for the new Bangladesh Premier League on Thursday as he fetched $700,000. The former Pakistani captain hit the jackpot in a secret bidding process after he became the target of all six teams in the Twenty20 cricket tournament to be held next month. Shahid Afridi was bought for $700,000 Dollars,...

London: The mystery cricketer described by a judge as the alleged corrupter in the latest spot-fixing scandal to tarnish the game may be the Pakistan spinner Danish Kaneria, a media report said on Sunday. Essex player Mervyn Westfield pleaded guilty last week at the Old Bailey to accepting 6,000 pounds to concede a pre-arranged number of runs during an over in a County match against Durham in September 2009. Justice...

Before India's second innings in Perth, Rahul Dravid was the holder of three distinct world records in Test cricket: most number of balls faced, most number of catches and he was also involved in the most partnerships. With his dismissal to Ryan Harris for 47, Dravid added a fourth record to his name: the batsman to be bowled the most times in Test cricket. It is not a distinction he...

A major reason for India's poor showing on tour has been the inability for the openers to provide starts. Partnerships of 22, 17, 0, 18, 4 in India's first five innings clearly highlights the problem at the top. Trailing Australia by 208 runs, the opening pair of Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir showed a little resistance early in the innings. Gambhir was not at all convincing as he edged deliveries...

Mumbai: West Indian batting great Brian Lara came out in support of Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Friday, saying the under-fire Indian skipper deserves another chance despite the drubbings in England and the ongoing tour of Australia. I think he deserves a chance. He had success in the World Cup, the T20 World Cup, the 50-over games. I think given his achievements so far, he deserves another chance and everyone should...

Which one of us has hasn't overslept and been late to work? You know the drill: the alarm rings, you're woken from a slumber and reach out a fumbling hand in the dark to slap the snooze button. Even in your dreary state you know it's a bad idea, but you do it anyways. A while later, you're frantically running from the parking lot to the office entrance, a frenzied...

From 63 for 4 at lunch, India were given breathing room through a 68-run partnership between Virat Kohli and VVS Laxman. Refreshingly, the pair overcame a jittery start to inspire hopes of a decent total. That is, until, Kohli threw it all away with a silly shot in the 51st over. Less than ten minutes before tea, to the final ball of a Peter Siddle over, Kohli went for an...

Virender Sehwag's poor form and incapability to counter Australia's rampant pace attack is one of the biggest reasons why India are suffering in the ongoing Test series. He has become one of the softest targets for the Australian bowling lineup because their bowlers are well aware that Sehwag will rarely play sensibly, irrespective of what the situation is. They are continuously bowling him out side the off stump on a...

London: Former West Indies captain Chris Gayle is to play for Somerset in this season's domestic Twenty20 competition, the English county said on Thursday. Opening batsman Gayle is one of the most powerful hitters in the game and he has proved especially adept in cricket's shortest format, with his 117 against South Africa in Johannesburg in 2007 the highest individual score in all Twenty20 internationals. Gayle has also impressed in...
