  • A Farcical End
    Having watched the entire tournament, it is perhaps right to say that on the one side are piled the numerous negatives, the tournament's lasting legacy, and, on the other, stands tall the lone brilliance of Adam Gilchirst, the cup's saving grace.

  • One Final Hurrah
    So isn't there a flaw in the Australian line up? Well, there is one, which has not been exploited in CWC 2007. They are not comfortable against good quality off-spin bowling...

  • 'Policy Of Rotation Will Continue'
    'The season is crammed up and it will be humanly impossible to play all the matches. We will have to rest some players and rotate them to get the best out of them all the time.'

  • Lara Leaves...
    ...behind a legacy deeply mired in contradictions... a natural flair... 400 in a Test, 501 in first-class cricket... and yet, on many occasions, a selfish autocrat... never a team-player...

  • Man Of Steel
    Kumble's departure from the one-day scene has robbed Indian cricket of a trait most of his colleagues seem to be low on -- determination.

  • 'Not A Fairytale End'
    'It's always nice to finish on a high note. Unfortunately, it does not seem to happen. Hopefully, it will happen when I leave Test cricket.'

  • Sachin Should Retire
    At the moment he looks like a player trying to eke out a career; build on a glittering array of statistics. If he really is playing for that reason and not to help win as many matches as he can for India, he is wasting his time.

    'He's been one of my favourites and I'm more disappointed than anyone else at his failure to do well in the World Cup.'

  • Tablighi Jamaat And Pakistan Team
    Did Pakistani cricket coach Bob Woolmer's criticism of the growing influence of the Tablighi Jamaat of Pakistan on many players of the Pakistani cricket team contribute to his brutal murder?

    Sri Lankans win hearts, Gilchrist wins cup
    This world cup, chaotic to start with and a spectator’s trauma all through, just could not avoid the extremity it deserved. It had to end in a farce -- and it did. With every ICC official booed by the crowd at the presentation ceremony, it was apparent that the tournament had been an organizational

    We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the kerb and clap as they go by – Will Rogers.

    It was only appropriate that Barbados was hosting the World Cup final on a day when it honours its illustrious sons. The setting was perfect for some more name(s), albeit alien, to lea

    Inevitably, it's Australia
    Inevitable. The word kept springing up the mind through Saturday night when I was tracking the ICC World Cup 2007 final between Australia and Sri Lanka. It was one of those nights when I could never really stop a word from playing on my mind all the time. Come to think of it, it was one of those fre

    Aussies Make It A Hat-Trick


    In a way, it was fitting that the final of this world cup saw truly farcical last three overs. For a while, but only for a while, the match seemed to have come alive whe

    Can The Aussies Be Beaten?
    In 2003 Australia had won the title convincingly with a 125 run victory over India in the final. In securing their third world cup title, Australia also became the only side to win all their matches in a world cup tournament, a record they have since kept intact. In fact the winning streak has now b

    Snake Venom Ruled Out in Woolmer Murder
    With the world cup coming to an end, the action will once again shift to the lasting legacy of this tournament, the tragic murder of Pakistani coach Bob Woolmer.

    The Tag Remains Intact
    South Africa’s choking on the big stage once again could easily top the list of case studies for students of psychology.

    Smith knew it would be coming and he had a answer ready when grilled on the issue. “I don’t think we choked.” In the skipper’s dictionary, choking was throwing it away from

    No stopping the Aussies... or so it seems
    We may hate the Australian cricket team for the arrogance it exudes on the field but we have to admire the manner in which it has gone about its task of reaching the final of the ICC World Cup 2007. Sri Lanka stands between Australia and a hat-trick of World Cup titles, having given itself the chanc

    “Sri Lanka is my team”' Ian Bishop
    He was one of the best West Indian fast bowlers of his time till a bad back did him for good. 161 Test match wickets at 24 and 118 one day wickets at 26 does sum up the talent Ian Bishop had. A successful and most respected commentator these days, Bishop took time off to speak to me at the breakfast

    Moody And His Band Of Merry Men
    Beneath the pleasing demeanour lies a steely resolve. That’s how crack Australian sporting figures are. The affable exterior is a perfect foil to the burning desire within to succeed by constantly challenging the accepted limits of human performance.
