| Since its 'that time' of the year/two-year phase....when we hunt for a coach...and obviously tv channels would have a field day making news for us throughout the hour..

| The squads..quick reaction | |
| So we have a 'young squad' for the BD ODI series, despite the selectors not 'taking directives from BCCI'. Ah well...we got to the point, no matter what route we took.So, here's a first look at the squads, and some intial reactions from me. How about you?ODI: Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid (capt), Yuvraj Singh, Mahend...

| We the fans | |
| We all know Eng was mauled yesterday, and most of us agree that they deserved it. But one point made by the Eng captain (who, in my opinion by the way, should absolutely quit ODI cricket) stood out for me: This is what Vaughan said at the PC : In an achingly honest press conference afterwards, Vaughan admitted that, with the final rays of the As...

| Analysis. Dissection. Yes, now only. | |
| So, we go home. And as many said, rightly so. My verdict is pretty similar to what most of you were thinking.But for me, the time for dissection, and decisions (big and small) is now, not later, when we overanalyze to justify everything. And my go-forward scenarios are very simple. We need to build the team for the next world cup, because in One Da...

| Second Test - Open thread | |
| Righto...back from the holidays...nice break this, hopefully for the team as well. And here's to further hoping that we get in another good performance today.As per reports, the pitch looks delicious for the pacers, once again. And with Munaf back, for the first time in recent memory, we are going into a game with all 4 bowlers having the potential...

| What..no knighthood? | |
| Aha...here's the most important accolade that our team would have ever won in their lives "I congratulate Sreesanth and the Indian team. I also congratulate Sourav Ganguly and V V S Laxman and Zaheer Khan," he said responding to sentiments expressed by the members over the team's performance in South Africa.But but...wait...hold on....no congratula...

| Another one for long-term memory | |
| So the Indians finally did it....great win indeed. To me, what's most important is this one's been earned not on the back of the 'much vaunted Indian batting lineup'...as had almost always been the case in recent times. The batsmen made a mountain of runs, then one bowler came to the party. Nor has this one rested on the lone tireless shoulders of ...

| The big(ger) day is here! | |
| Here I am...back from a heady weekend...ofcourse too engrossed, nails bitten and all, to post anything. Would we do it today?...can we? I hope so!! Just like Saurav said, in his post match conference yesterday, they shouldn't return to the dressing room if they cant seal off this one!But surely they can't lose from this position. It can turn out to...

| Right...big day is finally here....match start delayed due to damp pitch..which was intentionally done by groundsman to prevent the pitch from cracking...now clearly thats a move to prevent the Indian attack from getting any spin assistance? I'm not complaining...I personally feel this is the prerogative of the home side (did you read how it was op...

| Test cricket weekend coming up | |
| The English bowlers have the Aussies on the mat, allout for 244, in the third test at WACA. Monty gets a look in and bags a five-for on first day! Thats some accomplishment for a spinner on any track. Also proves that its Fletcher's stubborn selectorial attitude that really pushed England to lose the Ashes (surely they cant rescue this series?..or ...

| I like Cricinfo. I really do. They have a good bunch of correspondents. Amit Varma is good, so is Siddhartha Vaidyanathan. Rahul Bhattacharya and Sambit Bal are super.
