Powar said that current Rajasthan captain Hrishikesh Kanitkar had convinced him to make the switch to a team that has won...

England's magnificent seven (120) They may not possess Botham-standard superstars, but more than half their team consists of formidable players Send Jadeja in higher (80) India will be best served in Test cricket if their two allrounders bat either side of Dhoni Watson must open for long-term gains (61) That's where he wants to play and he knows he will be judged on his results at the top of...
Fitting, fortunate and deserved
Chris Rogers scored a century that was scratchy, ugly and lucky. It was also the equal of any made by an Australian in the past 18 monthsMichael Hussey and Simon Katich were masters of scoring hundreds with barely a memorable stroke.

England's self-inflicted wounds
England's batsmen did not appear to know whether to stick or twist on the opening day, but should have followed the lead of their captainAfter the apocalypse, when the first few survivors emerge from their bunkers and caves, it seems safe to assume they will find only two types of creature unscathed: a certain type of hardy insect and, marking his guard and waiting for his next ball, Alastair Cook....
Australia's economy brings great value
