I am madly in love with cricket

Khawaja can improve if he plays IPL. Maxwell, Smith, Warner always play well in IPL. So it makes sense in dropping him.

But tests are going to be different. And not just Ashwin. Jadeja is key too. What happens is that Ashwin with his variations is a tough bowler. So batsmen try to score off Jadeja. And that is where his stump to stump line works. Any error and chances that you are out lbw, bowled are great.

Khawaja to be dropped for India Tests, with spin his undoing

Glenn Maxwell makes a comeback to the test side for the tour of India – My wish.

My cricketing Christmas wishlist for 2017

Pakistan really showed the spirit. All these years there is no international matches happening in their country. Yet they always fight. Even though they lost they certainly won a lot of hearts. What a fight. Azhar Ali started. Younis contributed. And then Shadow made a valiant effort. Aamir, Riaz, Yasir all gave it their 100%. Now eagerly waiting for the boxing day test.

And for now enjoying India spanking the Poms???

Nathan Lyon and Jackson Bird stopped Pakistan winning at the Gabba

What a test match !!! Last one hour and England have two wickes remaining.

Glenn Maxwell has to be in the side for the tests in India. He is used to Indian conditions more than the others. His IPL experience will help in tests as well. He can actually be the trump card. And his off spin bowling will be more than handy.

Khawaja is on fire but should he play in India?

Good bowler. But far from being the best.

As I said this, a wicket falls. And in walks Younis Khan.

Ali and Azam should ensure that they remain unbeaten till close of play. It will be interesting then tomorrow.

Australia is in for a whitewash against India. I mean if England is being thoroughly beaten then I don’t see how the Aussies would get past the Indians.

The teams which have good all-rounders are likely to succeed these days. Like India. Ashwin, Jadeja & J Yadav are doing a fabulous job with the bat in addition to their primary job of spin bowling. England played well when they had Bresnan, Broad doing well with the bat. Warne, Lee & Gillespie also often made significant contributions with the bat especially under pressure and added those 100-150 extra runs which often decided the result of the match.

This team lacks that. They need to improve on this aspect.

Very good article indeed. Thanks for enriching us.

Ashwin the greatest

He has struggled against Sri Lanka. And he is surely going to struggle against a great bowler like Ashwin and his comrade Jadeja.

Should Adam Voges be dropped?

Wridhiman Saha by the way is cementing his place very well in the Indian side. I think if he goes on like this then at the end of his career he will surely end up as India’s second best wicket-keeper batsman in Tests if not the best. Or perhaps even the best if he plays consistently for the next 5 years as he will be 32 this month.

Step aside Lillee, Ravi Ashwin is coming for your record

?This is a proof why he is the best batsman in the world.

Has the article repeated with different headlines?

Australia's worst-ever pace attack to debut in South Africa

Maybe the spin of Nathan Lyon is something Smith will have to rely upon. Have never known an Australian side to rely so heavily on a spinner. Not even when Warnie was around. Maybe Lyon can reach to 400 test wickets if he continues to bowl well.

Can Bailey's ODI form earn him a spot on India Test tour?

The Eng – Pak series is more interesting than the Aus – SL one.

James Anderson is on his way to 500 test wickets as I predicted 3 years ago on this forum. I think he will go past McGrath. Surely he is an all time great.

By the way where have the readers gone? Hardly any comments here.

More than a number one Test ranking at stake in Sri Lanka

Azhar Ali got out on the last ball of the day in Pak vs Eng. And same day David Warner also got out on the last ball of the day in Australia vs SL. What a coincidence !!!

One famous female tennis player I understand has been recently banned for drugs and nobody raised much issue about it. Some instead sympathised with her.
