Tale of two crises

Monday, 15 December 2008 15:53 by Bala Murali Krishna
Is the Indian government in danger of doing too little on two of the most gripping crises of the day: terrorism and economic slowdown? The question is inspired by the first steps on both fronts. One was bare in details, and the other lacked any muscle. [More]

Why not the third spinner?

Sunday, 14 December 2008 19:02 by Rajan Bala
Former India captain Ajit Wadekar, who also served capably as cricket manager of the team, is of the firm belief that when the team plays Tests at home, its attack must have three spinners. Mohammed Azharuddin, who was the captain during Wadekar’s tenure as manager, fell in line and also became a strong advocate of this theory. [More]

Now, Shoot the Messenger

Thursday, 11 December 2008 02:27 by Sreejay S
Life is winding down to 'normal' in the country. Pakistan and Mumbai has somehow receded into the background buzz of day to day life; the candles have melted, the placards burnt. All those 'lipstick and powders' are now being put to better use. Shrill voices have come down to their u... [More]

Two-Test series is absurd

Saturday, 6 December 2008 21:31 by Rajan Bala
Now that two ODIs had to be cancelled because of the terrorists’ outrage in Mumbai, the cricket board would do well to demand of the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) it agrees to play an additional Test, making it three overall. [More]

Thirst Not for More Blood

Friday, 5 December 2008 12:01 by Sreejay S
The atmosphere has become toxic after the Mumbai terror attacks, so much so that hysteria seems the prevalent mood. People are calling for war. People want death - blood, destruction. But, really, how many really wants it? In a response to a comment on a previous post, I was rather rude to so... [More]

What scares Freddie more?

Friday, 5 December 2008 11:43 by Ramesh Behera
The India-England Test series is on but Andrew Flintoff is hell bent on not returning to India. Anyway, the series has lost its glamour after the Mumbai attacks and what remains is a mere formality. [More]

How US averted post-9/11 attacks

Thursday, 4 December 2008 14:09 by Bala Murali Krishna
Why has the US not faced a major terror attack since 9/11 whereas India has been successfully, some would say easily, targeted more than a dozen times in that period of over seven years? [More]

How Srikkanth, Yuvraj can talk

Wednesday, 3 December 2008 16:39 by Rajan Bala
One is aware that even the chairman of the national selection committee, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, has, in inimitable fashion, put his foot in his mouth, when he said Yuvraj Singh is all ready to take Sourav Ganguly’s vacated place in the Test batting order. This statement was the result of the Punjab left-hander scoring two successive ODI centuries against an England team that seemed more rattled on the field than even the employees and the guests of the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai when the terrorists struck.

The Cornered Rats of Politics

Tuesday, 2 December 2008 12:30 by Sreejay S
Now, the desperate responses begin. When the so called 'leadership' of our country should be coming together to protect that which makes this nation unique, we see them turn and bite each other and everyone around them like rabid dogs. First let us take the item that is in the news now - ... [More]
