Spectacular batting from young gun Rohit Sharma went in vain as the visitors chased 164 easily. A 7 wicket win ensured the winning streak continued for Yuvraj Singh.

The battle of the top two teams in the league. Delhi were victorious in a comprehensive 8 wicket win. Sehwag was in his devastating best as he thrashed the bowlers all over the ground. Gambhir went on to become the leading run scorer in the league with Sehwag now second. Terrific bowling from the visitors [...]...

| IPL - Delhi Daredevils vs Royal Challengers |

Whoever says age is a factor for playing Twenty20 should take a good look at this match. The oldest bowler in the competition proved that sheer pace is not the deciding factor. Glenn McGrath was at his devastating best as he ripped through the top order. Gautam Gambhir continued on his good form with the [...]...

| 2008-05-01 07:51:15 |
First win for the Mumbai Indians in IPL 2008. Disappointing performance by Knight Riders. Dwayne Bravo and Robin Uthappa seal the win with a match winning partnership. Terrific bowling by stand-in skipper Shaun Pollock.

A good match, won by Kings XI Punjab to record their second successive win in the IPL. Match was setup by the Kings XI bowlers as they rattled the Daredevils’ top order with 4 wickets falling for under 50 runs. Simon Katich then played a match winning knock to ensure the home team chased a [...]...

One would have expected more from the Bangalore team after the come-from-behind win against the Mumbai Indians. However, a comprehensive 7 wicket win to the Rajasthan Royals saw the visitors move to 2nd place on the ladder. Shane Watson put in a clinical all-round display of bowling and batting.

A clinical display by MSD and his team to seal this match by 9 wickets. Supposedly a clash of the titans as both the teams were undefeated until now. The match separated the pretenders from the contenders. Matty Hayden top scored for Chennai and got his second man of the match in a row. Jacob [...]...

Watch the full match here as Yuvraj Singh’s team registers its first win. The match has ended in controversy with an altercation between Harbhajan Singh and Sreesanth. Harbhajan had allegedly slapped Sreesanth after the match and the Mumbai Indians’ captain is likely to face disciplinary action from both the IPL and BCCI.

| India vs South Africa 2008, 3rd Test, Day 2 Highlights |
| 2008-04-12 16:57:42 |
What happened on the first day, was repeated on Day 2. The pitch has become unplayable after just 2 days. Batsmen who are not technically strong - beware. This pitch is going to keep on getting worse with each passing second.
India started the day disastrously by losing both the openers cheaply. However, the combo of [...]...

A good day for India after they lost the toss. Graeme Smith’s luck with the coin continued yesterday as he won a crucial toss on a pitch that would deteriorate from the first day itself. There was no exception to this as the spinners played an important part in India’s bowling performance.

Hi Guys
The worst possible disaster happened. All my data since 30th October has vanished. My hosting company has had some server issued and my database has been deleted. The only backup they had was for the 30th October. I am still working with them to get as much data retrieved as possible, otherwise all my posts since 30th October don’t exist anymore. I am very disappointed with this issue and I would like [...]...
