There is a particular type of pain that is unique to England in Australia, an amount of pain which builds up with hope as high as a mountain and then crashes down into a singular session, most often by the time of tea. The recent Test match fits the Ashes mould to an almost frightening […]

Ashes openers rarely behave. They wobble, they tease, they ignite, but Day 1 at Perth delivered something stranger: England bowling with such raw speed that the Australian top order looked like they had walked into the wrong decade. Nine down for 123 chasing a modest 172, and suddenly every British newsroom rediscovered hope like it […]
Every T20 World Cup brings one unavoidable argument: Who got the lucky draw? This time, the debate started even before the ICC could finish unveiling the fixtures. India the world No. 1 and the co-host are in an area that quietly feels like an airport express lane: USA (No. 18), Namibia (No. 15), Netherlands […]
Indian cricket doesn’t usually arrive at a crossroads. It arrives dramatically, brakes screeching, alarms blaring, and everyone shouting something different. That’s exactly where the team finds itself before the second Test in Guwahati. Down 0–1 at home, a sentence rarely written in Indian cricket, and facing a South African side that stunned them in Kolkata, […]
It’s one of cricket’s strangest paradoxes: South Africa keeps losing their giants, yet somehow keeps standing taller. Dane van Niekerk retires in 2023 after winning more games than she lost as captain. The women’s side reached three World Cup finals without her. Temba Bavuma, the most reliable red-ball batter of the era, misses the Rawalpindi […]
The IPL rarely does quiet drama, but Ravi Bishnoi’s release from Lucknow Super Giants felt like exactly that: a twist whispered into the wind, but loud enough to shake the spin market. A 25-year-old leg-spinner with 72 IPL wickets, a T20I strike bowler with 61 international scalps, and yet, he’s back on the auction table […]
Bengal cricket is once again flirting with its favorite off-field habit, shaking up the captaincy just when the team is still figuring itself out. This time, the debate surrounds a 23-year-old left-hander who has been gunning his way into Bengal folklore: Abishek Porel. Fresh from Delhi Capitals’ renewed faith for IPL 2026 and currently serving […]
Every time a Test match collapses inside three days in India, social media becomes a courtroom, and the pitch is guilty until proven innocent. Yet, on the opening day of the Ashes 2025-26 in Perth, 19 wickets tumbled like loose change, and the global reaction? “What a fantastic day of Test cricket!” That contrast […]
Every IPL auction cycle gives us one big surprise, but CSK releasing Matheesha Pathirana, the same bowler they once protected like family silver, feels like the twist no one saw coming. This is the same Pathirana who tore through line-ups in 2023 with 19 wickets in 12 matches, an outrageous average of 19.52, and ice-cold […]
Every single Cricket Auction is made up of an array of purse numbers and Player Names, but the WPL 2026 Auction feels more than that – It’s a Tipping Point. On Nov 27 in Delhi, 277 Registered Players (two hundred and seventy-seven) are going to compete for just 73 available spots; that’s approximately a 1 […]
Indian Test cricket wasn’t supposed to look like this, especially not under Gautam Gambhir, a coach whose early success in T20s made it seem like everything he touched would turn to gold. Yet here we are, staring at a home series defeat last year and now another wobble, the kind of pattern India simply doesn’t […]
