What are India to do about Virender Sehwag? The once belligerent opener has looked a pale imitation of his natural self in Australia and his wretched form followed him in Adelaide. On the one hand it could be seen as a small positive that Sehwag reached 20 and featured in a 50-plus stand with Gautam Gambhir. But on the other hand and it is a big but was the worrying ...

Perth: Former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram Thursday said he would chose experience over youth in the do-or-die third Test for India, starting here on Friday as he feels youngsters would not be able to make huge difference in the performance of the team straight away. Batting will remain crucial and the Indians know what they will expect on a Perth pitch that will aid pace and bounce. At a time ...

Sydney: Given the resounding success of their pacers against the Indian batting line up, Australia are expected to play four fast bowlers in the Perth Test by drafting quick Ryan Harris into the playing XI. An indication to this was noted when Australia flew Harris to Sydney on Wednesday to join his teammates rather than letting him play for Brisbane Heat in Friday's Big Bash match at the Gabba. Harris,...

Sydney: When Australia face India in the second Test starting in Sydney on Tuesday, it will be an emotional moment for the rookie opener Ed Cowan, who will be cheered by his terminally ill mother from the SCG stands. Cowan's mother Jan's battle against a consequential neurological disorder has been a great reason behind his rise to Test cricket, and the 29-year-old believes that his ability to fight out tough...

Melbourne: Australian great Sir Don Bradman himself declared that Sachin Tendulkar reminds him of his own batting style but former English cricketer Tony Shillinglaw has argued through a study that technique wise both the players are as different as chalk and cheese. Shillinglaw, who is a coach now, has conducted an extensive biomechanical study of Bradman's technique and claims that actually it is Pakistan's Inzamam-ul Haq, who comes close to...

London: Sachin Tendulkar was left stranded on 99 international hundreds after falling for 12 in India's second innings in the first Test against England at Lord's here on Monday. Tendulkar, whose 51 Test hundreds and 48 in one-day internationals are both world records, was lbw to England paceman James Anderson to end a scratchy 85 minute innings where he faced 68 balls and struck just the one boundary. His exit,...

London: Rising to the occasion where Zaheer Khan's absence meant more than the 100th Test against England, or 2000th in the game's history, Praveen Kumar once again proved that banana swing can still peel off batsmen in an era of raw pace. And the Indian pacer wasn't complaining about the 40 overs he had to deliver for his maiden haul of five wickets, which came at the expense of 106 ...
