May 14, 2012

Another heavily weather-affected round of matches with, bar one, draws all around. But some of them more interesting than others. Surrey and Lancashire lost three days but Leicestershire only just held on against Northamptonshire and Surrey came so close to a famous win after following-on at New Road. ....More

ODI batting: location summary, country details and key matches written by (ODI batting: location summary, country details and key matches)

May 08, 2012

Normally I do analysis-centric articles which take on and expound a theme. Once in a while I do different types of articles in which I go deep in one area of the game and provide data tables around it. This is one such article. However I can assure the readers that once the reader understands what is being covered, he will download the tables and keep the same for permanent reference. This has been a tough exercise on presentation and I must thank Milind for his invaluable suggestions. ....More

Test Bowling: a peer analysis of spells written by (Test Bowling: a peer analysis of spells)

Apr 23, 2012

When I was perusing the scorecard of the South Africa - New Zealand match which finished in a draw, I was admiring Morne Morkel's bowling performance: 6 for 23. Mentally I compared that with de Lange's spell of 0 for 77 and computed in my mind that it was "19 times better". Then it struck me that this was when compared to a single bowler. What happens if we compared to all the other bowlers. The number came to around 44. I suddenly remembered that I had done this analysis for batsmen more than a year back, based on a Unnikrishnan suggestion but had not done it for the bowlers. And I was curious to know where Morne Morkel's performance stood, over 2000 Tests. ....More

Every cricket watcher knows that the post-mortem after a Test defeat is far more entertaining than a victory celebration. Who wants to listen to sweaty sportsmen being tediously self-effacing about their success when you can wallow in the angry recrimination and existential despair of the unhappy professional pundit? ....More

An unassuming man called Rahul Dravid - Part 2 written by (An unassuming man called Rahul Dravid - Part 2)

Mar 26, 2012

There will come a day when Samit Dravid grows up and tries to get a grip of the magnitude of service his father has done to Indian cricket. Everywhere he goes, they will sit him down and tell him glowingly of the man's deeds. Of how Rahul ‘walked’ in his first Test match when he was on 95; a gentleman, they will declare approvingly. Of how he donned the keeper’s gloves to accommodate Yuvraj and Kaif in the team; a team man, they will declare strongly. And young Samit will look on, bored but silent, for a well-mannered boy does not start telling people that he has heard the stories a million times already. ....More
