Indian cricket fans all over the world at heart broken. England was thought to be an anomaly but Australia showed that the Indian team was very poor and it could not be blamed to injuries or the like any longer. 
However, instead of mourning, we should celebrate what has been a golden age for Indian [...]]]></description>

The batsman slashes one. He misses it by a mile. Next, you hear the commentator say &#8216;that&#8217;s the way he plays.&#8217; I don&#8217;t agree with this at all. The logic is that as it is his natural game, he will work best when he plays in that style. 
However, when a driver drives in a [...]]]></description>

I HAVE been watching IPL on and off. Here&#8217;s how I rank the teams &#8211;

Once Tendulkar&#8217;s career is finished, he will have 100 international centuries too, a feat never to be surpassed ever because ODI cricket will reduce and T20 doesn&#8217;t produce as many 100s. When you compare records of the 90s, Lara achieved more while Tendulkar was more consistent. For instance, Lara made the 375, the 400*, [...]]]></description>
