<description><![CDATA[Dhoni's out-of-the-box thinking has done the team good and while they may look like shrewd cricketing decisions, his choices, in retrospect, come across as lucky breaks. And the thing with luck is that it usually tends to run out. With six straight overseas Test defeats everything about Dhoni seems wrong.

<description><![CDATA[India have embarked on their tour of Australia where they are scheduled to play four tests, apart from T20 and ODI matches; the first test begins on boxer's day in Brisbane. What differentiates this Indian side from previous squads touring down under is the surfeit of young bowlers. The Indian selectors used the West Indies tour of India, and the ODI series at home against England that preceded it, to experiment with the bowling. Seniors like Sreesanth and Harbhajan were given a rest even as the rare, bold experimentation paid off. Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron and Vinay Kumar with the new ball joined Ashwin and Ojha with the old to underscore their credentials at the highest level.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In the 2000th Test, and the 100th between the India and England, the home side's desire to win proved to be stronger than the visitors' resolve to stay in the battle. India on paper is much stronger side while in the ground they are playing like minnows. Set what would have been a world record total of 458 runs to win and with one wicket down overnight, the tourist Indian's main task was to bat throughout the fifth and crucial final day to force the draw as they have no chance by any corner to beat England here in Lords.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Day three of the third N Power test series began with Alistair Cook and Eoin Morgan at the crease for England. Both were looking imperious the previous evening and were looking to bat England into an unassailable position. India had toiled in the previous day and were starting to look a little weary, several of their players were leaving the field at various intervals in what seemed like a rotation policy. The most notable being Sehwag, 10 mins before the close of play. It's fair to say, this did not go un-noticed by the media and he came in for much criticism in the morning sports paper columns.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Day 2 of the second Test match between India and England started with much better batting conditions than the previous day. The sun was shining and the green tinge the wicket had on day one seemed to have faded. The experienced pair of Dravid and Laxman came to the crease with India on a score of 24-1, chasing the England first innings total of 221. The early exchanges were very much dominated by the Indian partnership, taking advantage of some loose bowling from both Anderson and Broad. As the morning progressed, the score line seemed to be moving along effortlessly until Laxman fell, just before lunch, to the bowling of Bresnan not long after making his fifty.]]></description>

This is a classic shot and is normally played by great players of the class like Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar, Brian Lara, Rahul Dravid, and Sunil Gavaskar etc. One can play this shot only with practice. With rigorous practice one can easily master this classic shot. This is not a very powerful shot, and requires class and not might to play.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Malinga's reluctance to tour England with the Sri Lankan team has set my controversy radar buzzing. There is an unmistakable stench of the fishy kind. In fact, I smelt it as early as the day after the World Cup final that Sri Lanka lost to India. That was the day Malinga announced that he would not take part in the 2015 ODI World Cup. I don't know about you, but I personally thought it was a trifle early to be announcing his non-availability for an event that was four years away. Malinga is only 28, and will be 32, in 2015 -- a year younger than Zaheer Khan was during this year's world cup.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The fourth IPL season began on April 8, with an opening game between defending champions Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders. In a match that went down to the wire, CSK prevailed by 2 runs. Batting first CSK managed a modest score of 153/4 off their 20 overs. KKR's batting line-up was surely up to the task but a bizarre decision by skipper Gambhir to come down the order at number 6 was partly to blame for the loss. Here's a summary of all the matches played so far, in IPL 4.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There was not much Tendulkar could do, after his main bowler had failed to provide a breakthrough, and Harbhajan's lack of form did not help matters any.
