| Hero rises from horrors of Mumbai to fashion fated Test victory for India |
| 2008-12-15 11:32:00 |
Was this karma, the cause and effect as defined in Hinduism? Was this Test match, not just India's stunning beautiful victory but the fact that ultimately it was fashioned so perfectly by the genius of Mumbai's most celebrated figure, simply meant to be after the atrocity inflicted on that vibrant city a fortnight ago? Or was it merely a magnificent sporting contest, as good as any cricket can be when given extra meaning by the peculiar circumstances that surrounded it?I'm a romantic and lean towards the former. I like to think that sometimes things happen for the right reason and although the England team would have been disconsolate in the immediate aftermath of the match, with the celebratory clamour around them, the softer hours of their wind-down time may persuade them that this was ...

| India and Australia - cricket as a relational metaphor |
| 2008-10-05 02:25:00 |
Cricket, it wouldn’t be wrong to suggest, was and is, the true national game in both India and Australia. This is precisely because it could be played against the English as part of the great imperial project. Hockey in India or Aussie Rules in Australia could not, and hence their legacies, like their origins, remain very curious in the sporting hierarchies of the two countries. It is important to answer, Why cricket and not hockey in India? Answers lie in the George Orwell axiom, “Serious sport is war minus the shooting.” If sport is in fact a metaphor (and in some cases a metonym) for war, then cricket simply was the necessity in India. Prowess in sport wasn’t enough. Accomplishments had to be demonstrated in empire sport, which would mark a symbolic victory against the ruling co...

| Tendulkar says Australia rivalry bigger than Pakistan |
| 2008-09-19 04:56:00 |
Star Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar says India's cricketing rivalry with Australia is now bigger than that with arch-enemy Pakistan, the latter a rivalry so intense that fans have reportedly taken their own lives over it.Speaking in Mumbai ahead of the Australian team's visit to India next month, Tendulkar reflected on the last volatile match-up of the two sides - in Australia last summer - when allegations of racism and bad sportsmanship rocked the series.Because of recent history, India now held its rivalry with Australia higher than its battles with Pakistan, Tendulkar said."I think it [India v Australia] has become bigger largely because of the competitiveness. All the series, from 2001 onwards, have been keenly fought and have been very close ones," he said."We have gone to Australi...

| Sachin Tendulkar fit to play again |
| 2008-09-06 04:01:00 |
In what would be good news for Indian cricket fans, Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar, who missed the ODI series against Sri Lanka due to an elbow injury, has declared himself fit and will take part in Irani Cup, just ahead of the all important Indo-Australia sereis.Sachin had injured his elbow in the 3rd Test match against Sri Lanka in August 2008 and was forced to miss the following ODI series that India won 3-2. The Little Master had a poor run of form in the Test series and failed to topple Brian Lara as the top run scorer in this form of the game.But now fit-again Sachin can finally achieve that milestone at home in the 4 Test series against World Champions Aussies. He will also feature for the rest-of-India squad which takes on Ranji Champions Delhi in the Irani trophy that takes plac...

| SRI LANKA RECOVER IN COLOMBO |
| 2008-08-29 12:24:00 |
Jehan Mubarak helped Sri Lanka set India a target of 228 to win the final one-day international at the Premadasa Stadium on Friday. Zaheer Khan gave India a flying start, removing flamboyant opener Sanath Jayasuriya (one) in the second over, but Malinda Warnapura (30) and Mahela Udawatte (43) put Sri Lanka back on track with a 77-run stand for the second wicket.Irfan Pathan, however, removed both batsmen in the space of four deliveries and Kumar Sangakkara (one) and captain Mahela Jayawardene (12) both fell cheaply as Sri Lanka slipped to 104 for five. Jayawardene finally won a toss in the series, but India's new-ball bowlers again turned in tight opening spells to put the Sri Lankans under pressure.Warnapura, dropped on six by Rohit Sharma, and Udawatte were unconvincing but effective as ...

| Sri Lanka add Prasad to Galle test squad v India |
| 2008-07-28 01:56:00 |
Sri Lanka have called up uncapped paceman Dammika Prasad as an additional bowling option for the second test against India in Galle starting on Thursday. The 25-year-old played three one-day internationals in 2006 before suffering a series of injuries but has since impressed with the A team and recently against the Indians, claiming 4-58 in a warm-up game.Prasad, however, is unlikely to play with Sri Lanka expected to retain the same side that won the first test by an innings and 239 runs.Sri La...
