Sport in India wept in a quiet corner this week. Two romantics moved on and sport was battered by heartless tyrants claiming to administer it. Raj Singh Dungarpur is no more. Noel de lima Leitao is no more. And in Delhi there is a call to rescue the Commonwealth Games. With a little bit of […]

Two fine administrators stand arrayed against each other and in doing so they weaken an event whose success they have contributed much to.

Two captains,two very fine cricketers,Andrew Strauss and Ricky Ponting,are accusing each other of not playing according to the spirit of the game.

Without recourse to valour or drama,with no shades of character,no tales of stirring deeds,no room for circumstance,numbers end up telling the story of a cricketer pretty well.
