THE LINCHPINThough not wholly capable of the merriment of Lara or the adroitness of Tendulkar, Jacques Kallis belongs in the pantheon of cricketing gods, writes S. RAM MAHESH Vital component Major teams: South Africa, Africa XI, Glamorgan, ICC World XI, Middlesex, Western Province. Batting style: Right-handed. Bowling style: Right-arm fast-medium. Test debut: South Africa v England at Durban, Dec. ...
Done in by the early moistureTHE fearsome South African pace trio of Shaun Pollock, Makhaya Ntini and Andre Nel made all the difference in the first of the five-match Pepsi Cup ODI series against India at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. Exploiting the early morning ... A tale of two bad boys EVEN as the Indians were recovering from the five-wicket defeat against the South Africans, the ICC match referee Jeff Crowe asked off-spinner Harbhajan Singh to attend a hearing after he was reported for gesturing wildly to South African batsman ...
Where the old and the new co-existTHE teams, India and Sri Lanka, journeyed by road from Rajkot to Vadodara. Formerly a princely state, Vadodara is now one of the commercial hubs of Gujarat. The Vadodara ODI would also bring to a conclusion the whistle stop tour by Sri Lanka. ...
India on a rollTHE script had a perfect conclusion for Team India. Rahul Dravid scored the winning runs in Vadodara and then lifted his arms up in triumph. A display of emotion it was from a modest man of remarkable achievements. India had steamrollered the ...
