Via CorSullivan, we have the incredible tale of the Afghan cricket team which may qualify for the 2011 World Cup: When the British marched into Afghanistan in 1838, they brought polo mallets, fox hounds and cigars. They brought imperial hubris, bone china and cases of port. But the players of the Great Game also brought a [...]

It is not surprising that Sehwag broke the Indian record for the fastest century in one-day internationals. What is surprising is that he took so long to do it. The recent match between India and New Zealand was Sehwag’s 204th ODI match in his 10th year of playing one-dayers. Sehwag played his first ODI at [...]

It has been an age since the West Indies won a series against any major Test-playing nation. The decline that they encountered in the 1990s seemed to be irreversible.

Very unlikely, but if it happens, this is how it would happen. England have a lead of 82 runs scored over 15 overs. There are 90 overs on the final day. If they bat only 30 overs, then they leave the West Indians 60 overs to get what they hit in 45 overs. Enough time for [...]

Australia have batted South Africa out of the match and series after the 3rd day and it would take an innings of Hanif Mohammed proportions from a South African batsman to save the day. Not only does the current form of the Australian bowlers rule that out, the South Africans have to do it with [...]

DeadBall and Short of a Length have been going at each other over the India-NZ series. Right now, it is kind of a wash as NZ won the T20 series handily and India is leading the one-day series 2-0. Of course, India have the momentum now, but the series could easily swing the other way. Anyway, [...]

As the history of SA’s World Cup difficulties show, they come ever so near the prize and then self-destruct. After managing to defeat Australia at home, all they had to do was hold their nerve against an inexperienced new Australian team at home and lay claim to the No. 1 title without anybody objecting. At [...]
