By V.N. Prasad Heartiest congratulations to the young Proteas who gathered all their might to register a 2-1 victory over the favourites, India. It was monumental effort in all departments of the game; turning the result into a ‘Nightmare’ for Indians; bruising their ego beyond belief; a shameful disposition considering the expectations; not only in…
The Indian cricket team’s tour of South Africa will get underway with the first Test from Dec. 26 and with the cloud of COVID-19 variant Omicron looming large, the tourists have been guaranteed a return passage to home should the need arise if borders are closed to prevent to control the spread of infection.

By V.N. Prasad Sharp at 7 pm. Virat flipped the coin up. Kane called it right. For the umpteenth time, Virat lost the toss. Kane chose to chase. Statistically, victory chasing was at 8 to 0. We had not beaten NZ in a WC since 2013. With the toss, half the gloom descended. Instead of…
By V.N. Prasad At the outset, congratulations to Pak on their victory. In all Departments, they excelled. Brilliant bowling, well-disguised ‘Slower Ones’ and with consistency, excellent fielding, all high catches taken and stupendous batting. Both the openers, Babar and Rizwan, batted beautifully.

By V.N. Prasad Ravi Shastry was imprudent in releasing his book while COVID is still active in England. He compounded the act by tagging along a few players and supporting staff to the function — all contributing to agonising abortion of an excellent series. BBCI’s offer to send our team for completing the series in…
