When Kumar Sangakkara dropped Gambhir in the morning, Sri Lanka appeared to have made a painful mistake in the field. Waiting for the post lunch session turned into waiting for tea. Sri Lanka had much time on their hands to see where they had gone...

The muddle in the England dressing room is not about picking Steve Harmison at Edgbaston or of missing Matthew Hoggard at Headingley. England cannot seem the find the rope ever since they lost their way at Lord’s. History is dangling the...

The gap between the two Tests simply does not seem to be enough. After all, what kind of preparation would India be doing other than run through the training drills? What they seem to need is a shake up, to realize that team India is by far...
