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.

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>

There are a lot of things I do not understand about Indian cricket but one which has left me absolutely bewildered over the years is the fascination to open the batting with keepers. I can understand it in tests to an extent when India went through a phase of the Devang Gandhis and Vikram Rothores. [...]]]></description>

Sachin Tendulkar, the biggest Indian sports person of the past 20 years, if not ever, is playing, what is probably his last test in Eden Gardens.

This is the prime reason I believe India is not a very strong ODI team despite it&#8217;s batting. Yusuf Pathan has not been very threatening as a bowler with a career economy rate of 5.6.

India versus South Africa for cricket&#8217;s World Championship. The thing is India looks really weak the way I see it. Forget the bowling for a moment.

200*. 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>

		<description><![CDATA[Rahul Bhatia wrote a wonderful small piece on his blog where he fears India wont matter once Tendulkar is gone. The following is what I have to say on the same:

		<description><![CDATA[After the news of the FIR against Jagmohan Dalmiya comes the news that Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) will not host any Champions Trophy matches. A CAB representative wasnâ€™t even present at the meeting. Was it because of the FIR and thus a means of protest? Also was the reason to not distribute the match [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[More than whether Tendulkar scores runs (which hasnâ€™t been great in tests lately), there is disappointment at large at the way he scores his runs.
I think this is where people are largely mistaken. He canâ€™t score runs the way he did in 1998. I remember he was even more aggressive in his early days and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[India had a go at the target much later than they should have. Winning matches when the smallest of windows exists is what makes a great team. With 40 overs to go and 250 to chase, why did India not go for at least quick singles so that they would be in a position to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One word which charecterises this English team and separates it from teams of the past is fight. Whatever the match situation, whatever the crisis situation, the team will give it their best shot. A sharp contrast to the frequent collapses we saw from English teams of the past. You will say that they did collapse [...]]]></description>
