Over to Red Cherry Entertainment
July 20, 2011, 7:04 AM IST
My sinister and imaginative mind, not necessarily in that order, tells me that BCCI has been opposing the UDRS with the 2007 Lord’s Test in mind. If Hawk-Eye had a say, then India would have…

Why Harbhajan Singh may not make it large
July 19, 2011, 8:12 PM IST
I have never quite liked Harbhajan Singh. It’s not just that he slaps fellow cricketers like Sreesant–a cricketer who has this fixed idea that batsmen can be stared into giving away their wickets– into submission….

Why Team India is not a truly champion side
July 11, 2011, 8:52 PM IST

Bhajji: Just a feisty character who doesn’t buckle down
July 10, 2011, 12:58 AM IST
Unlike many jet-setting sportspersons, Harbhajan Singh retains an old world charm. His smile still races all the way to the eye, hanging in there for just a second longer; his laughter too still emanates from…

Melting moment and dope offence
July 8, 2011, 5:36 PM IST
The Indian dope tamasha reminds me of US star sprinter and long-jumper Marion Jones. And the manner in which she won Olympic gold medals at Sydney 2000. The glory she achieved, though, was later clouded…

Doping comes back to haunt India
July 5, 2011, 1:45 PM IST
Doping has come back to haunt Indian sport and all those glorious moments of Commonwealth and Asian Games look so distant. The women’s 4x400m quartet, from whom so much was expected, are in a shambles….

MSD asks: Who will watch Big Brother?
July 3, 2011, 12:31 AM IST
When the first whispers floated in from the West Indies, they sounded outrageous, outlandish enough to even seem funny; but then, they gathered momentum and you wondered if there was indeed a crystal-clear motive, if…

Dravid cracks the code, yet again
June 26, 2011, 3:09 AM IST

Once upon a time in Calypso land
June 19, 2011, 3:06 AM IST
Once upon a time, a cricket tour to the Caribbean raised visions of aquamarine seas, pristine beaches, swaying beauties, reggae music…and deadly fast bowlers. Barbados. Antigua. Jamacia. Even the names of the islands had an…

The Bradman Files
June 17, 2011, 1:21 PM IST
If all else was equal then why was Bradman so far ahead of the field? And why has such a gap between one player and the rest of the field never happened again? That’s the…

UDRS sans lbw, howzzat?
June 16, 2011, 9:14 PM IST
When Sepp Blatter opposes goalline technology, he is seen as the messiah for “human error”. In fact, human error is part and parcel of life and hence football, they argue. Even from the marketing perspective,…

For Miami, it’s nothing but pressure, stupid!
June 12, 2011, 2:32 AM IST
Clearly, Miami Heat are blowing this up. For the third time in four games, they have allowed Dallas Mavericks to come back and conjure a resounding victory. You can track its genesis to the second…

Strange that Gayle continues to remain away from action
June 10, 2011, 9:49 PM IST

Sunny, Shastri, give us a break
May 30, 2011, 10:00 PM IST
Aren’t Sunny Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri ever bored of themselves? You should when you pretty much say the same thing match after match. And across formats. While listeners are definitely bored, Sunny and Shastri just…

IPL gambles and the extra spice

What club, which country?
May 28, 2011, 6:52 PM IST
