		<description><![CDATA[I said some months ago, before I started this blog, that Ganguly should have retired from tests after the series win in Pakistan. The guy had achieved what no other Indian captain had &#8211; defeating Pakistan in Pakistan. It could not get better than that. It indeed went a lot worse. Ganguly has done his [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I watched the full match and was quite impressed by what I saw. I have always been a fan of the Mirza forehand but the back hand was not too bad either in the match. Mirza always hits a lot of winners but I did not expect her to hit so many versus Sharapova. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We all know it is highly unlikely Mirza will defeat Sharapova today. Sharapova is 18, like Mirza but as far as achievments and accomplishments are concerned, there is a world of difference. Sharapova   finished the year in the top 50 in 2003 (rank 32) when she was 15 and a half! Mirza ended [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sania Mirza will face fairly unknown Italian Maria Elenea Camerin in round 2 of the US Open. Mirza had a rugged start in round 1 with loads of unforced errors. Compared to that, Camerin surprised one and all by defeating 21 seed Danira Safina in round 1. 
Camerin is an even match for Mirza. She [...]]]></description>

I do not understand why a cricket legend like Wasim Akram has to be put into the role of Sports News Reader by ESPN on Spotscenter India. Asking cricketing gyan from an expert is good. Asking him to tell us the latest news is not only underutilising the expert, it is also misutilising him.
Also, I [...]]]></description>

One after the other former Indian test players are dying which is an unfortunate coincidence. After the recent demise of Eknath Solkar, Baloo Gupte has now passed away.
Gupte played 3 tests for India with an ordinary record but, as cricinfo reports:
