No I don't think it's his greatest ever, probably not even in the top 3. I think the Sharjah innings rank in the top three (if not on top spot), only because there was a belligerence about them that was simply awesome. Add to that his lone hand in fighting the match fixers in his team and the lack of quality around him. The CB Series final century would probably take third spot for mine. What says you?

The Match Referee So get this, I uploaded videos of Sachin Tendulkar's 175 on You Tube and got a copyright violation notice from You Tube. Apparently the BCCI is going around asking uploaders to remove all footage of India matches. These idiots are clearly not interesting in promoting the game!

Dravid v Kohli: I totally agree with you. Dravid v Raina, especially down the order when hitting is the order of the day, I'm not so sure. I think what the team needs right now, more than anything, is some new thinking and some verve. I don't think Dravid is the man. It has to come from the likes of Dhoni, Yuvraj and Sehwag. Verve is hard to define, but essentially they need a boot up their backsides (and Yuvraj needs to lose serious weight)!

It's not often you find former Aussie cricketers criticizing a winning Aussie team. So imagine my surprise when I find a bevy of former stars all having a go at Ricky Ponting's team, in the same article...

Last night I was lucky enough to bear witness to one of the most amazing innings in international cricket ever seen, Sachin Tendulkar, chasing down an intimidating 351 on a docile Hyderabad wicket likened the art of batting to that of a Karl Lagerfeld creation on a Milanese catwalk.One week ago a...

Rs 800 crore (US$170 million) is the BCCI's base valuation for the space on the front and leading arm of Team India's shirts for the next four years. This base price is no less than double the amount Sahara has paid for its logo to adorn Team India's chests for the current four year period...
