Long Innings - Season 1Long Innings 44 - T20 Changing CricketThe game of cricket is measured by the currency of runs and wickets. Matches are won by the team which scores more runs than the opposition. This statement considers only the end result of the match and not intangible factors like entertainment, elegance, sportsmanship etc. There are 3 formats in cricket and each has its own unique appeal and charm. Test cricket is still regarded by pundits and purists as the format that tests a player’s skill the most.

Long Innings - Season 1Long Innings 45 - Indian Fast Bowlers 2018Fast bowling is hard work. Experts have estimated that when a fast bowler delivers a ball, up to nine times his body weight goes through his front foot. Indians are further handicapped by the weather conditions at home where the heat can be oppressive, and their genetic build. That is why in the past, India has struggled to produce quality fast bowlers. In the 1930s, India had 2 genuine fast bowlers in Mohammad Nissar and Amar Singh. Another reason for the lack of genuine fast bowlers in India over the years is that their psyche is based on hero worship...2019-04-2012 min

It’s a game with one format (some say the toughest format) spread over five days.

Not the dibbly dobly medium pacers, but the genuine fast bowling makes cricket very exciting. There is no better watching in test or ODI cricket than a good old dual between a top batter and top fast bowler. Fast bowling however, takes a lot out of you. The sheer running into to bowl, the hard landing on the crease takes a toll on the knees and ankle and the motion of hurling the ball as quickly as possible can take a toll on the shoulder and back. That’s why good fast bowlers are we...2019-03-1715 min

The surest way of getting a big score is by stringing together a few big partnerships. That’s what coaches want from the batters.

He made his Test debut against India in 1991-92 at Sydney and had a pretty ordinary debut taking just 1 wicket and conceding 150 runs in his 45 overs.

In T20Is, they played 6 series and won 5 with 1 series being drawn. Out of the 19 T20Is they played in 2018, they won 14, lost 4 while 1 ended in a no-result.

Having said that, a couple of no-balls in a test match between Pakistan and England at Lord’s in 2010 had a sinister hand behind them and far-reaching consequences. They unearthed a ‘spot-fixing’ scandal and had dire consequences for the culprits at the centre of it all.

It refers to cricket being played at Cambay near Baroda in 1721. A match between Madras and Calcutta in 1864 was definitely the 1st First Class match in India. The British played the match to build relationships with the Indians, the reasoning being that if the Indian elite had more connections with the British, the British could have more control over India.

MS Dhoni’s entire Test career as captain was spent wishing for a genuine all-rounder in the Indian, especially when touring. But he never did find one.

Some consider it the real form of cricket - a five day test of skills that demands the best from players in terms of discipline, fortitude, and fitness. It’s gladiatorial, almost. No protective rules favoring the batsman and few restrictions on bowlers.
