If England can do it, so can India

The wheels have finally turned. England now have the World T20 Cup. Paul Collingwood’s men had lost a contrived match to West Indies due to rain. Otherwise, they didn’t let anyone come near them, says Ravi Shastri.

Colly’s body language rubbed off on the team

After an excruciating wait of 35 years, England finally won a world cup. That not too many in England gave them a chance was evident from the lack of interest in the tournament, says Sunil Gavaskar.

Time ICC makes itself clear on Twenty20

Which is the best T20 side in the world? Didn’t Friday night’s game pretty much answer that question, asks Aakash Chopra.

Pietersen is England’s trump card for the final

He is the one player that the Australians will be wary of, but they also know that they can play on his ego and challenge him to try and do the impossible, writes Sunil Gavaskar.

The best T20 International ever

Australia required 48 runs from the last three overs. They did it with a ball to spare. Michael Hussey made 44 of these runs. The sequence of his last five balls faced was 4, 6, 6, 4 and 6. It has to be one of the finest Twenty20 ever played on an international stage, writes Ravi Shastri.

Will wisdom ever dawn on the BCCI?

Do blame the players for not being more responsible and, as Dhoni put it, not “respecting your body” but at the same time we can't absolve those who allowed this to happen, writes Pradeep Magazine.

Batting first is the only hope against Australia

The Australia-Pakistan semifinal promises to be a cracker of a game if the right Pakistan team turns up. Their win in the final super-eight game against South Africa was one where they were at their most energetic and enthusiastic.

Mathews took the game away from India

India’s campaign has ended once again at the Super Eights stage. It was always going to be an uphill task for them against Sri Lanka, especially after losing the previous two matches, Sunil Gavaskar comments.

Right time to invest in youth

Among all the issues confronting the team, the biggest, to my mind, is bowling. It’s well worth now to invest in youth without any fear whatsoever, Ravi Shastri comments.

Couldn’t bat or bowl, nor make up their minds

In T20 cricket, it’s very difficult to point to something and say A, B and C went wrong. But yes, India could probably have done some things differently even while realising that this wasn't the Indian Premier League.

Team make-up disappointing, lack of adaptability more so

India's cricketers cut a sorry figure against both Australia and the West Indies and the worry is that with a Test series in South Africa later this year, and in Australia, England and West Indies next year, some of the batsmen who have big reputations may be found out.

Too many cooks are spoiling this broth

“As soon as BJP is done with its own leadership, it might think of providing some for the nation,” my colleague Madhavan Narayanan (@madversity) tweeted on Friday, hitting the nail bang...
