India have embarked on their tour of Australia where they are scheduled to play four tests, apart from T20 and ODI matches; the first test begins on boxer’s day in Brisbane.

Sachin Tendulkar’s elusive hundredth international ton has been the subject of much discussion during the last few months. But the wait could finally be over, at Adelaide, where India are 61/2, at the end of the second day, 543 behind Australia’s mammoth total of 604/7 declared. The wicket is perfect for batting and Tendulkar unbeaten [...]
At the risk of sounding bat-shit crazy, I would still assert that India are capable of beating Australia, in the last test at Adelaide, after going three down in as many test matches of the ongoing series. Here’s how I think they can do it: Step One: Win the toss and put Australia in to [...]
The tour of Australia has got to a poor start for India with the visitors down 2-0 after the first two tests. Can they get back into the series by winning the third test match?

World no. 4 Andy Murray has yet to win a Grand Slam and if he wants to right that record at the ongoing Australian Open, the Brit will need to cross, not one, but two giant hurdles. If he manages to beat Novak Djokovic in Friday’s semi-final, he will have to contend with Rafael Nadal [...]
One of the positive fallouts – for spectators — of Nadal’s losing his top ranking to Djokovic is that we can look forward to another classic encounter between Fedex and Rafa in the Australian Open semi-final encounter between the two scheduled for Thursday, January 26. Spectators at the Australian Open in 2009 were witness to [...]

The 1996 ODI World Cup semi-final that India lost to Sri Lanka was fixed, according to former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli who played in that match and was left in tears, after the game was abandoned following crowd disturbance at Kolkata’s Eden gardens.

USA beat Brazil in the quarter-finals of the FIFA Women’s World Cup, a result that looked unlikely after the Americans were reduced to 10 players on the pitch, when midfielder Rachel Buehler was given marching orders by referee Jacqui Melksham.

Vijay Mallya has done his bit to revolutionise cricket in India. It was the King of Good Times who brought in the idea of cheerleaders, and at least 50% of people (mainly those who don’t watch cricket) thought that was a great idea.

Getting down to specifics, the LBW rule, as proclaimed by the ICC manual has the phrase, ‘would [...]
In a recent IPL match, Tendulkar ‘caught’ Dravid in the slips. Dravid stood his ground; a review by the third umpire vindicated Dravid, as replays showed that the ball had touched the ground before being scooped up by the fielder.
