Dhoni and Cook, Two Poor Captains Leading Test Teams, India V England Investec Test Series

It is a no brainer to know who are the two worst captains, especially in test cricket, at the moment. The answer is - Alastair Cook (Captain of England) and MS Dhoni (Captain of India). If you want to see most boring test cricket being played, then watch when these two lead their teams in the field. The game of cricket dies every moment when these two gentlemen take care of it. So far the Investec test series India V England (2014) has...

England has decided that they will serve the greenest cricket pitch ever produced on earth to the touring Indian cricket team in 2nd Investec Test match to be played at Lords Cricket Ground in London from July 17, 2014.

England led by cook is most boring test cricket side

England yet again, for the umpteenth time, suffered a humiliating defeat against a minnow Sri Lanka in a recently concluded test series which according to cricket great pundits has been the most boring 2 match cricket series ever. Not only the cricket played was boring but also the teams involved. It was a pathetic demonstration of how to play cricket (test match) as none of the 5 days in either of tests saw a team completing their full...

Gautam Gambhir potentially a better test cricket captain than MS Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni or MSD in short continues to remain the captain of Inidian Cricket team even though he has the shameless away record among all the Indian captains thus far. The 8-0 away series drubbing where India lost to mediocre England and bore Cricket Australia's team in past couple of years has had no affect on MS Dhoni's captaincy as he continues to remain the most tactless captain ever. Under him India is likely to loose all...

IPL 7 has Indian Commentators again Cursing Young Indian Players

Many IPL seasons have gone and this is the 7th one. We have seen some magnificent display of skills by cricketers in the Indian Premiere League both with bat and ball. It has combined with some of the most spectacular fielding efforts, like taking amazing catches, to make the cricket contest worth watching. But one that that has remained the same, much to disappointment, is targeted insult and cursing of young Indian cricketers from Indian...

India will win ICC T 20 World Cup 2014

I know that this T20 cricket is a mercurial form of cricket. And I am not an astrologer too. Yet I have been following this game ever since I was born. So here is my prediction - India will win ICC T20 2014 and will not loose any match. Much criticized Yuvraj Singh will hit the winning six for India. I am pretty sure that other teams are already dispirited watching India play in this ruthless and commanding manner. While others living...

Shikhar Dhawan is going great

In India, if one thing is common across the cricketing fraternity, it is 'Impatience'. It doesn't matter if someone is playing his first match, or is first time playing in overseas conditions, the Indians are always ready to paste label on player's forehead. Raina has been labeled as 'flat track bully', Virat Kohli was almost labeled as 'bad man', and Shikhar Dhawan can be labeled 'useless' anytime going by how things are going round in...

Bumpy Roads Ahead of South Africa Cricket

There is no doubt that if you ask who has been the most consistent cricket team in test cricket during last decade or so, the answer would be comprehensively South Africa Cricket team.

Sri Lanka Cricket Fans

Sri Lanka Cricket team won the World Cup of 1996, rather gifted to them, curtsey match referee Clive Lloyd calling their semifinal game against India 'complete' before the schedule close after 50 overs of cricket. Apart from that they have won nothing and in fact have been quite dismal, both with performance and behavior on field, in years after the win in ICC world cup. Sri Lanka cricket fans dancing and have rocketsready to throw...

ODI is a role based cricket game, please understand india

Indian cricket team is loosing most of the ODI (One Day International) cricket matches off late. And as always, experts from India have found a reason of loss in lack of technique of batsmen and poor bowling resources. But things aren't straightforward as that. India is confusing ODI cricket and Test Match Cricket. Don't underestimate role of finishers in ODI cricket! India is of the theory of playing out first 10 overs without loosing...

Onus entirely on Virat Kohli to win Asia Cup cricket tournament

India began their Asia Cup tournament with victory over hosts Bangladesh, thanks to yet another magnificent century, while chasing, by captain Virat Kohli.

10 ways to make test cricket more enjoyable

There are 3 forms of cricket that are existing in world cricket right now. ODI cricket, T-20 cricket, and Test Match cricket.
