With a fifth Test double hundred under his belt at 37, Indian batting icon Sachin Tendulkar said he has proved that age has got nothing to do with performance and people.
The Basics of the Cricket
In his time the Indiana Jones of Indian cricket, Srikkanth's batting style was entertaining, innovative and explosive. Indeed, his approach came as a whiff of fresh air and, not unexpectedly, he was a great crowd puller.
A swashbuckling opening batsman cast in the Mushtaq Ali mould, Srikkanth could destroy the strongest and most fearsome attacks in the world by fearless pulling, hooking and driving. But there were times when he could be dismissed by some pretty ordinary bowling.
Krish Srikkanth during his playing years as a member and captain of the Indian cricket team was known for his swash buckling and aggressive batting style. He has used his years of knowledge and expertise to author this blog on cricket techniques

The tag of Team India Team India tending to travel badly like wine is old hat. The syndrome vanished in the last decade in which India won Test series in various climes – Pakistan, West Indies, England and New Zealand besides a dominant 1-1 draw in Australia. But one country that continues to bother India in the new millennium is Sri Lanka.
Why the emerald isle, which is being seen more and more as an attractive holiday paradise around the world now, should prove inhibiting to Team India is becoming a modern cricket mystery. It is understandable if Indians felt uncomfortable in the ’80s when they crossed the Palk Straits at the height of t...more
What a way to go! Muthiah Muralitharan signed off from test cricket not only by scaling bowling’s impossible peak by reaching 800 wickets in test cricket but also helping his team to win the first test match. He got the last Indian wicket in the second innings to get to that landmark which looks pretty hard to be beaten though we have seen in life and in cricket that nothing is ever impossible. For some time it appeared as if he would be stranded short of that mark as Lasith Malinga ripped the heart out of the Indian batting and that cricket historians and statisticians would remember him for being left on 799 wickets like Sir Don Bradman is ...more

This Day in Cricket (31 July)
1956: History was made at Old Trafford when Jim Laker took his 19th wicket in the 4th Test against Australia, including all ten in the 2nd innings. Laker had warmed up for his day of recknoning by taking 9 for 37 in Australia's 1st outing that itself the best ever return by an England bowler in Ashes cricket. In the 2nd innings, though, he was unstoppable, and when the last man, Len Maddocks, was trapped lbw, Laker had taken all 10 wickets for 53 runs. The Australians were said to be fuming about an Old Trafford pitch that had been deliberately underprepared to suit the spinners, but as their captain, Ian Johnson, said afterwards: "When the controversy and side issues of the match are forgotten, Laker's wonderful bowling will remain." No one else has taken more than 17 in a first class match.
