How is it IPL in South Africa?

Tuesday, 31 March 2009 15:52 by Rajan Bala
The concept behind forming the Indian Premier League (IPL) was to capitalise on the popularity of T20 cricket and through the media, both print and electronic, give the game in the country a massive boost. Maybe circumstances have forced the organisers to move to South Africa for this the second edi... [More]

India’s Test victory in NZ

Saturday, 28 March 2009 10:54 by Rajan Bala
India’s  10-wicket victory over New Zealand in the first Test is being hailed in some quarters as an outstanding effort as it indicates that the team has given itself a very good chance of becoming the top Test nation very soon. When this happens it is, of course, deserving of praise for ... [More]

IPL: Good riddance for India!

Wednesday, 25 March 2009 12:16 by Rajan Bala
One cannot help but heave a sigh of relief that the much hyped T-20 cricket tourney imposed on the Indian public by Lalit Modi and his supporters has been shifted from this country. Kudos to the Indian government and, of course, the Indian democracy because the elections meant that the Indian Premie... [More]

Is deflation a real threat?

Saturday, 21 March 2009 10:59 by Bala Murali Krishna
For several weeks now, as the rate of inflation kept falling, some have raised fears of a deflation – a sustained decrease in prices that can spook business, investment and even consumption because people would postpone buying on expectations of even lower prices. Last Thursday, when inflation... [More]

The never-say-die spirit

Saturday, 21 March 2009 09:55 by Rajan Bala
One has to hand it to the new-look Australian team in South Africa for winning the Test rubber after the setback at home. Ricky Ponting led from the front as the visiting team seemed to find the new recruits taking to responsibility with alacrity. In such a situation one should not mention individua... [More]

Sehwag sets off a debate

Tuesday, 17 March 2009 11:40 by Rajan Bala
Now all of a sudden there is talk about Virender Sehwag being the best batsman in the game. There must be someone squirming in Mumbai answering to the name of Dilip Vengsarkar who, as the chairman of the national selection committee, dropped the Delhi mauler for being inconsistent. Ironically, th... [More]

Will Satyam auction fly?

Monday, 16 March 2009 12:50 by Bala Murali Krishna
The government and its nominated board deserve praise for their handling of the Satyam scandal. Many would say the board, led by HDFC veteran Deepak Parekh and former NASSCOM chief Kiran Karnik, have performed a difficult task when the scandal-hit IT company was in danger of collapse. The board ... [More]

Tendulkar making the most of it

Saturday, 14 March 2009 08:44 by Rajan Bala
New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori must have regretted missing the Christchurch game. Considering the margin of defeat – 58 runs – his bowling was sorely missed. And Sachin Tendulkar had it all chartered out. He retired hurt at 163 and then talked about how he had in mind that he could h... [More]

Revenge of the small guy!

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 12:56 by Bala Murali Krishna
If the recent campaigns against DLF and Educomp are anything to go by, the small buyer or investor is no longer helpless. In fact, he has found a way to hit back against big companies, with the Internet as a potent tool. But does this finally mean a levelling of the playing field? Last week, many... [More]

Pakistan cricket's uncertain future

Tuesday, 10 March 2009 11:13 by Rajan Bala
The cricket fraternity was first appalled by the terrorist attack on the Sri Lankan team but relieved that there were no serious casualties. If those terrorists who execute the deadly plans of their masters might themselves be dull, it is because of indoctrination which has made them follow instruct... [More]
