India have now won 100 tests. Check out this Statsguru report showing the 100 . Play with it a bit; there are some interesting numbers in there. Some are revelatory, some are humbling. One interesting stat for now: India have won 57 tests since SRT made his debut in 1989. (

Well, this is the second time in a few years that I've gotten up in the morning to find out that Sreesanth has bowled India to a match-winning position. The Kanpur pitch suddenly doesn't look like a road, does it? 13 wickets on the third day, after 2 on the first and 9 on the second. And wonder ...

Right. So, Ishant Sharma and Mishra are the victims of the call for bowler's heads to roll. Ojha and Sreesanth are the lucky entrants. I won't pretend to be too knowledgeable about Ojha's recent form but as far as Sreesanth goes, he's lucky to be in there. Not that I mind excessively; Sharma has ...

Old wine in a new bottle. A modified version (one concentrating on the ethics of walking alone) of an older piece David Coady and I wrote is available in Res Publica , a publication of the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics (at Melbourne University). The older piece alluded to ...

From the comments section of the last post (written in anticipation of the 2nd day's play): The Indian score as it stands now, could easily turn into a 430 all out And Sri Lanka have done well so far at 236-3 as play heads into the last half-hour. This is always a tricky little session of play ...

Rahul Dravid's 177* yesterday will surely rank as one of his best, from an external and internal perspective both. Its not often that a side can finish the day at 385-6 after being 32-4 at one stage. Three batsmen made it possible but Dravid's innings was the most significant. Even more ...

November 15th: six years cigarette-free, 20 years of SRT in test cricket, my dad's birthday. A pretty big day, don't you think?

Sri Lanka's tour of India is off to a very soggy start. Two days play washed out and it's not clear there will be any play on the third. Thus, the Lankan lads are looking at going into the first test, which starts on the 16th, without any match practice. Two factors combine to make this not into ...
