Why are we even playing in Dharmashala at this time of the year. Temperature is expected to be close to 6c at start of match. More english like conditions. I think more and more that English will go with just one spinner in Hartley and go with three seamers https://indianexpress.com/article/sports/c...

Looks like Patidar will be retained for one last game. https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/ind-vs-eng-5th-test-rajat-patidar-isnt-just-about-his-low-scores-and-india-know-it-1423278?platform=amp Of all India batters who have faced at least 100 balls in this series, only Shubman Gill, Dhruv Jurel and ...

Tanush Kotian Appears to be very good with bat and average with ball Lord Thakur once again shows up . Again a player who seems very average with very little skills, but always shows up in scorecard. Sverytime I write him off he comes up with match saving pr winning performance. Also, goes onto show...

Why is a over without runs called maiden and first achievement in cricket called maiden? Seems contradictory? There is probably an explanation online, but wanted to see if some of the knowledgeable forum members know the reason?

I would take out the out-of-stadia and just have 4 - one for track and one for field x 2. Are not track athletes at a bigger advantage when it is combined as they have lot more events while field athletes typically have only one or two events to showcase their talent. Not researching, but would not...

Great opportunity for him. TN pace attack is very ordinary and if he does not succeed in this game, This game will get out of hand pretty quickly

Prasen, has someone hacked your account? You seem to have had a change of heart on many issues you were steadfast about earlier. I’m noticing it more and more. :D U have to overwhelm with data to change his mind. He has always been in favor of gradually phasing out older gen. So not sure where u fe...

Tamilnadu Mumbai ranji match will begin tomorrow. Mumbai has the best pace attack with Mohit, Tushar andShardul. If this pitch supports pace, Mumbai will have an advantage. TN has lot of left handers in line up with Sai, PRP and Washington among top order. Hoping for a sportive pitch aiding both se...

More than fake news proliferating in society , another problem is that truth is also spinned as fake news.

Does that move a needle ?

The quad injury of KL will probably make it almost impossible for KL to be WKB in the WC. The fact that he is having issues with same quad where he had surgery last year could be doubly ominous for his wicket keeping future. We have four WkB candidates jitesh, Jurel, kishen and Pant with Pant being ...

The overall average in tests in the last 5 years is 30.75. India's is 28.38 and opposition to India is 24.32. Now is this due to our bowling attack being very good or is this because we have played on bowling-oriented pitches? I don't have time to think or how to query Statsguru efficiently but is ...

Indrajith was given India A chances but may be very few and in those few chances he did not do much I can remember. He certainly deserves a full India-A run. I would put him in queue after Rinku Singh. I saw an article that he was selected for A team, but did not get to play a match. I was under th...

When u check bowlers with at least 10 innings bowled India has three players in top 4 (Axar, Kuldeep and Bumrah) and five players in top 10 (Ashwin and Ishant)

So our bowlers have done the most damage.

England has no bowlers in top 10. With Robinson coming in at 13 , Broad at 15 and Anderson at 18.

Jaiswal? Only 3 players have averaged more than 50 against india. One of them just played one match and was not out in one of the two innings. Root has been a thorn in india’s side scoring at almost 60 runs average. And Dean Elgar has more than 50. There was a time when India hardly reached 400 runs...
