The Sourav Ganguly saga!
3 yrs agoOne cannot but feel sorry for Sourav. Nobody loves to see a hero fall.
But if one applies stone cold logic, the fact of the matter is Ganguly does not warrant a place in the Test team. His Test record is nothing to write home about an

One Day Cricket. Do England Care?
3 yrs agoAs widely predicted Vaughan is not going back to Pakistan for the one day series. This is for the best, the captain needs to be completely fit for the tour of India and frankly he is rubbish as a one day batsman. However it does add further conf

Another defeat for England...
3 yrs ago...against Pakistan A in a warm up game for the 5 match one day series. The game wasn't decided until the final ball with Trescothink, Freddie and Harmison all rested.
