OBC Quota impact: IIMs face resource crunch

OBC Quota impact: IIMs face resource crunch 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...

Arjun and VP: Crusaders of quota 'vindicated'

Arjun and VP: Crusaders of quota 'vindicated' 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...

Congress hails OBC order as "landmark judgement"

Congress hails OBC order as 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...

Quota verdict: Have your say

Quota verdict: Have your say 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...
