Back in the fast laneRedemption beckons Zaheer Khan, who at 28, travels to the Caribbean at the peak of his powers. Four years ago, he infamously imploded in the first over of the final; this time he leads a group of talented pacemen, writes S. Ram Mahesh.
Everything seems to be falling into placeFor the most part of the innings India advanced at over six an over; indeed it appeared in desperate pursuit of a far more imposing figure than 260, writes Vijay Parthasarathy. MARGAO ONE-DAYER A first for Zaheer The left-arm Mumbai seamer, looking his trimmest in three years, felled the top-order, and then bowled an effective spell at the death as Sri Lanka was restricted to 230 for eight. A report by Vijay Parthasarathy. AUSTRALIA TOUR DIARY Best among equals As Andrew Symonds roams around the covers like a Bengal tiger on the look out for a meal, there is no one to touch him in the modern game and few in any era, writes Ted Corbett.

AUSTRALIA/THE HIGHS AND LOWS Border leads the way The victory in 1987 was Australia's greatest moment. It was, in several senses, the beginning. The team had risen from the ashes, writes S. Dinakar. Australia in World Cup WORLD CUP SPECIAL - 5

Struggling with the second stringIn the absence of its top players, India was left with a team of debutants to battle with Uzbekistan. And the 1-4 defeat reflected how badly Leander Paes was handicapped without his frontline players, writes Kamesh Srinivasan.
Setting new standardsRehan Poncha was the pick of the swimmers, winning nine gold, three silver and three bronze medals. He participated in 15 events and finished in the medal bracket in all of them. The Karnataka swimmer also accounted for five Games records. Such was his domination. S. Sabanayakan reports. ATHLETICS Arunjith and Preeja revel The two Kerala athletes emerged the star-performers, claiming a fine sprint-double and a golden treble respectively. A report by A. Vinod. 
A feather in Assam's capWith the backing of the Central Government, Assam did a wonderful job in hosting the 33rd National Games in Guwahati.
