Kumble will be the man to watch
Some of the greatest spinners have been made to look ordinary by Indian batsmen, so it will be interesting to see how Danish Kaneria responds to the challenge, says Ramiz Raja.

Irfan is truly India's spearhead now
Shoaib's performance in the one-dayers will help the Indians to counter him more confidently in the Tests, says J Srinath.



March 24, 2004



Latif's 'fixing' claims in poor taste
Cricketers like Rashid Latif and Zaheer Abbas cannot bear to see any successful cricket event being staged Pakistan, says Ramiz Raja.



March 23, 2004



India are the favourites now
The final ODI should be another thrilling contest in an enthralling, exhilarating series, says Anil Kumble.

March 20, 2004



India suffers from middle overs crisis
Sourav Ganguly will have to rethink about Ramesh Powar's inclusion, says Javagal Srinath
The hype in Lahore is unbelievable
Rameez Raja feels the Indian batsmen failed to put pressure on Shabbir Ahmed when the gangly youngster was spraying the ball all over the place.
Laxman should not play in one-dayers
Mohammad Kaif needs to come up the order, he is not the sort of batsman who can slog in the end overs, says Rashid Latif.

Fast bowlers will find it tough in Peshawar
Ramiz Raja says the high temperature will be a factor in the third ODI.

Zaheer's return to form is imperative
The Indian team is sorely missing the services of a sports psychologist, believes Javagal Srinath.
Tendulkar is cricket's 'Kohinoor'
We are very fortunate to have been born in the same era as Tendulkar and watched him in action, says Rashid Latif.



March 15, 2004



Our bowlers should come hard early on
India has the psychological advantage but the one-day series could go to the wire, says Anil Kumble.
Blame it on Inzamam
The Pakistan captain must still take the blame for sending the Indians in to bat on a peach of a wicket in the first ODI, says Ramiz Raja.



March 14, 2004



The game is too batsman friendly
Replacing the white ball in the midst of a game at the behest of batmen, says Javagal Srinath, is a ridiculous rule.
Pakistan need a bowling coach

March 12, 2004



Karachi will be tough on the bowlers
Both sides are aware that besides the physical preparation for this series, mental toughening is also vital, says Ramiz Raja.
Indians can expect verbal volleys
The verbal abuse will be rampant from the Pakistan camp, as their coach Javed Miandad has already initiated the process of physiological warfare, says Javagal Srinath.



March 10, 2004



Moin is the brain of the Pakistani unit
