Nasir Jamshed: India's nemesis and promising hope for Pakistan cricket

If you are a batsman in the Pakistan team and all your three centuries have come against arch-rivals India, then there is no doubt that irrespective of your form, all eyes will be set on you expecting to fire yet again. When India and Pakistan face off in Birmingham in a dead rubber, the ‘Men in Blue’ will be very well aware about the exploits of Nasir Jamshed.

Manna from Heaven: Tainted cricketers around the world can now ply their trade fearlessly!

Tired of the relentless scrutiny by law-enforcing agencies and administrators hounding cricketers, a Dubai-based company called Betting & Fixing (B&F) Brothers has come to the rescue of cricketers accused of match-fixing and spot-fixing by announcing their own tournament in the form of Fixing Premier League (FPL).

IPL 2013 spot-fixing: 5 lessons to learn from N Srinivasan

IPL 2013 spot-fixing: 5 lessons to learn from N Srinivasan

N Srinivasan has somehow managed to stand by his word. Ever since his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan was arrested on May 25, Srinivasan was crisp and clear that he will not be "bulldozed" or "railroaded". In just over a week, a series of infighting, resignations, political gambles and stiff resistance was played out behind closed doors.

England have New Zealand challenge ahead of Ashes

England will look to shred off their complacency woes as they begin the two-match Test series against New Zealand at Lord’s on Thursday. Though the previous three encounters in New Zealand ended in a 0-0 stalemate, the Kiwis have already given a wake-up call to Alastair Cook’s team.

Ponting, Gilchrist and Sangakkara bring huge value to their respective teams even when not in the playing XI

Inexperienced Australian spinners hurt by lack of faith in them by team management

Jason Krejza, Nathan Hauritz and now Nathan Lyon lacked the subcontinent experience, but things could have been different if they enjoyed the backing of the team management. After learning from their mistakes they hardly find that additional opportunity to make amends in following matches or subsequent tours to subcontinent, opines Abhijit Banare.

Mumbai Indians need to be cautious while juggling around their resources

Mumbai Indians need to be cautious while juggling around their resources

If there is any Indian Premier League (IPL) team which comes close to resembling a fantasy league, it would be Mumbai Indians — without a shred of doubt. It is the most expensive team, it has 'Slinga Malinga' who is one of the best T20 bowlers of the world, unarguably the best batsman in the world plays for them, yet Mumbai Indians have just a single appearance in the final, an unsuccessful one at that. Mumbai have been title favourites every season since IPL 2 due to sheer presence of match winners, yet things haven’t turned as per their plans.
