The mother of all battles brought an entire city of nearly 18 million, as much as Australia's population, to a virtual standstill. That is…
I am willing to stick my neck out and give Roger a WIN in this one.There is something super natural in this man when it comes to Tennis.
Vinay's final column: Crunch time for Federer
Hello Kersi! Greetings from a fan!
I care and A Billion Others do!
It doesn’t matter really if the Australians prefer not to watch.Cricket lovers around the world are loving it.It has opened up so many opportunities for hundreds of youngsters who would never have made it to the national teams, the spin off has brought so many new opportunities in many associated fields which is a God send in these gloomy recession times.
The Australians discovered a few players thru the IPL too.In fact if it wasn’t for the IPL would Shane Watson , the only saving grace in the present Australian team apart from maybe Hussey ,have been where he is today,probably the only consistent performer and Captain material.Another hammering by the Poms , losses at Home and not too many fans will be left to watch The Ashes or Cricket in Australia.
Just because IPL is Indian does not make it bad! Be gracious and watch it .It’s good entertainment.
IPL is a gimmick, irrelevant and not good for cricket
Not to worry Kersi!
Australia has accumulated all those points over years and because they were so good at one time there was a yawning gap in points which will take some time to make up.
Now that the stronger teams have closed that gap I am sure over the next couple of years it will become an insurmuontable uphill task for the future Australian team to make up…….and when they eventually do will you ask the same question?
Does Australia deserve to be ranked No. 1 in ODIs?
I can see by the response to this article what it takes to make Australian fan tick.
Truly a amazing innings , even though I did not see it , the figures speak for themselves.
However, too early to make a STATEMENT!
A change from Ponting to Clarke cannot make them a better team overnight.That would mean belittling the Australian team and their captaincy till last month.and which lasted years quite successfully!
Have Watson's fifteen sixes lifted Aussie morale?
There are many doubts Tendulkar has erased over the years.
Cricket , more than any other sport is a TEAM GAME,In my opinion it would not be fair to equate solely an individuals performance in a team’s victory.Even a run saved or a catch taken can make the differance in most games.Yes, an individuals performance boost the chances but cannot be solely responsible for any victory whether it is a Richards or a Bradman or a Tendulkar.It always has to be a TEAM VICTORY!
Yes we Khan: How India took their shot at redemption
Well Done anybody who supports Globalisation of Cricket!
Let there be more teams , Let there be a longer tournament , we may see some more World beaters like The Irish.
Don’t spoil the party!
This World Cup 2011 was a huge success and Let’s have another like it!

Clarke speaks out for in-danger minnows
This is not a election for Head of State.There are rules governing status of citizens and once they are complied with do not tread on those toes!
Clarke speaks out for in-danger minnows
If you keep The Netherlands and Canada out you might as well keep Australia and England out for the same reason!
Let’s face it you might only have The West Indians and the 4 Asian Tigers left as AUTHENTIC along with maybe Kenya and Afghanistan!

Post a copy of this to ALL THE DOUBTING THOMASE’S , specia;;y some who write on this honourable portal!!!!
India win launches billion-person party
Older Players?
Indian players , even the older ones are years away from retirement!
Beware , it is the older Tigers who are more hungry!!!!!!!
India claims famous World Cup win at home
Why call it a gamble???????
And not a calculated risk?
Or astute decision!
The word gamble cannot be wished away but the serious follower of the game should avoid using the word , unless of course it involves a A or a A or a K or a S……….. etc.etc. there are quite a few and let’s not fool ourselves……..the BIG FISH have been let of!
India's MS Dhoni gambles and wins
If there was a defining moment it was Dhoni walking in ahead of Yuvraj.
Zaheer bowled an excellent opening spell but I think he needs to get stronger physically to last the distance.
In today’s era of die hard competitive sport it is all about making a statement that shakes the feet from under the opposition.
When Dhoni walked out it was as if to say to Sangakara, specially after what Sangakara did at the toss……Enough! I’ll take it from here.He even inspired Gambhir , who stood like a rock and Yuvraj who was like an exuberant school boy full of confidence.Well done MEN IN BLUE!I WELL DONE DHONI!
Yes we Khan: How India took their shot at redemption
At home Australia do pretty well!Or at least they used to!They do manage to get some extra……….!!!!!!
India claims famous World Cup win at home
Oh Boy!
You do Love The Men In Bleeding Blue!
Not surprising!
There is little else left! Not too many records to write home about and Poor Ponting the captanicy weighed so heavily on him that he had to relinquish it to keep scoring runs.The coffers are empty?
India claims famous World Cup win at home
Why is it that it is soooo difficult to digest that The Asian Tigers are ruling the roost!Australia are edgy even playing the least fancied of the Four Asian Tigers!
As far predictions go , if you care to read some of the earlier articles , columns and comments and look at form it would not be difficult to predict who was going to be in and at what stage!
Coming to financial clout it is a case of sour grapes.Imagine the BCCI can announce a cash award of 10 million Rupees to each of the team and 5 million each to it’s support staff without blinking.They can do it because they planned and invested wisely over the years.Their deposits could be likened to a Fort Knox!
It seems some countries are in such disarray that the feel their resurrection will go beyond 2015!
Well Done Bangladesh!
Well Done Pakistan!
Well Done Sri Lanka!
AND
WELL DONE TEAM INDIA!
THE BOYS IN BLEEDING BLUE WILL BLEED YOU TRUE!
India claims famous World Cup win at home
Sir Kersi!
Add a share of the 3 million $ purse also….plus don’t forget how generous our politicians are with other peoples money………there will be a wave of awards in cash and kind…. a luxury car each was promised before the match by a car manufacturer……..and POONAM PANDEY a small time model who has made herself a celebrity by promising to BARE IT ALL IN PUBLIC AND IN THE TEAM DRESSING ROOM TOO!……. I am sure some of the cricketers must have been looking for her…………………..
Whatever……..you deserve it all TEAM BLUE……. YOU HUMBLED AUSTRALIA ….YOU THRASHED PAKISTAN AND YOU WALKED ALL OVER SR ILANKA TO REACH THE PINNACLE OF GLORY………….WELL DONE ……..WE ARE PROUD OF YOU.
From Murali to Sachin: a battle of the heavyweights
Kersi I would love to keep writing BUT I am about to collapse!
I have sent you some photos , including some where my son and I are trying to launch rockets to land at your doorstep with love from India!!!!!!!!

Bowling????????? Watch out for India in Mumbai!
World Cup semi could be bigger than the final
Cricket is not only about winning.Cricket is A Way of Life. Of course , one must understand it.
India to play Sri Lanka in a World Cup final to remember
Sir Kersi!!
India and Pakistan have played 4 times in the various World Cups and the score is 4-0……India’s favour!
World Cup semi could be bigger than the final
Bigger it is not because for any Indian supporter the emotions of beating Pakistan in this match will be far bigger than winning the world cup.
Interestingly , Kersi ,you do not mention Ashwin.
In my opinion he is the key in this match.His ten overs could literally put the cat amongst the pigeons.
World Cup semi could be bigger than the final
I am not a Ponting fan BUT I feel Australia under Clarke might show up in poor light and then Ponting gets called back for The Ashes.
As a player and as a captain Ponting would win hands down over Clarke, don’t forget Vinay liking Clarke to Clarke Kent but not willing to play Superman!.Yes, if you make Haddin captain it will be a different story.
Ricky regains touch but Yuvraj, Tait derail Aussies
WHY ?
This is not the first time Steve Smith has been caught at the deep end. It happened in India last year with BRAIN FADE . What is disturbing more than anything else is his habit of involving teammates when caught. Even if there were others involved the decision is his, he had the choice to NOT DO IT.He will or rather should be banned for life but he is not willing to go down alone . Such men should not be chosen to lead because a leader leads by example. He will find it difficult to live this down because basically he is not a crook, brain faded maybe.Sad but lets face it , this has damaged Australian cricket irrepaiarably.
