balu_maris Dear Stardust, Yes it was a hyped match. Team India was hampered and handicapped with injuries. But the England team did play well and deserved the victory. But I believe there are three more tests to go it will be foolish to count India out. India has...

With the content of such a magnificent potential, Indian cricket team lost the match to England at Lords. Now we have to think upon the reasons behind this fall. Was it due to Anderson's outstanding bowling or Pieterson's...

balu_maris Dear Vishalssgk, Team India has always been poor starters of a tour. If you recollect,since 2001/2002, they have managed to lose the 1st tests almost always against big teams. There are many reasons to this. The lack of good practice games, the bowling not...

Do you like the way the chase was given up?

moksha09 @moksha09 (467) • India 11 Jul 11

15 overs less than a 100 to get and both teams decide to call it a day. India had reasons to agree but why did WI miss the chance to embarrass India? I'd have thought the match referee would step in and take to at least another 10...

balu_maris Dear Moksha, With seven wickets in hand, fifteen overs to go and eighty five runs to get, on a placid track.... abandoning the match was the worst decision made...!!!! One could understand if the Indian team was about five or six wickets down and wanted to...

Rain spoiled what would have been a great victory for India!!

ram_cv @ram_cv (16513) • India 3 Jul 11

The match between India and Windies was spoiled by Rain with India just needing three more wickets to win the match. What was even more gut wrenching was as soon as the match was called off, the sun comes out in full glory. I...

balu_maris Dear Ram, Rain washed out the match. But, I believe, India could still have pulled of a victory had the bowlers put in a better effort. Ishant was the only bowler who seemed to be threatening. Praveen Kumar, for some reason or the other was under used....

Impressive debut by Praveen Kumar!!

ram_cv @ram_cv (16513) • India 23 Jun 11

For a player playing his first match, Praveen Kumar did quite a decent job in this test match. He took three wickets in the first innings, before he was banned from bowling for the rest of the innings as he had trodded on the...

balu_maris Dear Ram, In modern day cricket swing bowling is a dying art. And I believe any one who can swing the ball will be successful in any for of cricket, especially Test cricket. It was definitely a good debut for Praveen Kumar. It was sad that he was banned...

balu_maris Dear HDHORDA4, Both the forms of cricket are interesting. But I feel that the One Day version of the game is the better entertainer. Simply because T20 is actually a nobrainer. Yes it is fun, but then not much thinking is involved. Players try and hit out...

INDIA - WEST INDIES Tour is very boring & one sided,,,,,,,,,Whats your view???

ramaswamyvtkv @ramaswamyvtkv (2879) • India 11 Jun 11

for me India -WI tour seems to be very boring to watch. Its seems to be very one sided tour. WI team is not a competitive team for this young Indian team,also WI is not picking the super star Gayle. Now WI tour is like a tour...

balu_maris Dear Ramaswamy, It would not be fair to say that this West Indies series is entirely boring.. Of course, it is not a high profile series and about six of India's main players are not playing, and the current West Indies team is nothing like before. I agree...

balu_maris Dear Amit, It is difficult to predict. Now about ten years back, I would have predicted Roger Federer. But now it is hard predict. You have the quick and relentless Nadal. Then there is the flair of Djokovic and then there is the talent of Federer....

balu_maris Dear Ramaswamy, Yes, India did win the match. But i don't think that the Indian team will be too happy with the way they won the match. They lost six wickets while chasing 215. Yes the bowlers did bowl well to restrict the West indies batsmen to 214. But I...

balu_maris Dear Shailesh, Roger Federer is a true Legend. There is no doubt about it. People fail to realize that superstars like him are humans too. And plus it is not as if he is losing by playing carelessly. He lost to Nadal in the finals. There are arguments going...
