by Sajed Ahmed India has always been criticized for underperforming in away test tours. But the first two tests of the 2014 India’s tour of England shows that all of that has just changed. We had a captain who was being criticized for being too defensive in away tours, a very fragile batting line-up and a very ordinary bowling line-up. With an inexperienced side, MSD has managed to do something that had only been done once before by Kapil Dev in 1986, a test victory at Lord’s.

by Sajed Ahmed Unfortunately for them, the Proteas retain the title of chokers that they have had for 14 years straight, in this edition of the T20 world cup. I haven’t quite been able to figure out why, A curse probably? Or maybe growing pressure to lose the chokers tag? Either way the South Africans have another year to figure out what goes wrong every World Cup Semi-Final as the 50 Over WC is scheduled for next year. As far as India is concerned, we don’t have to worry for the next 15 years. The future of Indian cricket is in very safe hands. This game was yet another proof that Indians can handle anything (except non-Asian venues).
by Sajed Ahmed No. This isn’t about the Oscars. It’s about the ESPNCricinfo awards where our favorite cricketers turn up with their girlfriends and win awards. That’s just a creepy way to put it. The ESPNCricinfo awards rewards player and team performances that have stood out and showed immense class. As an Indian, I’m very proud of our team. We have had a very good year as far as overall team performance is concerned. And, we’ve won awards too.
