India and England played a series of six one-day internationals which produced a final result of 3-3. Perhaps it was a just result, for there was hardly anything to choose between the two sides. India ran up a 3-1 lead and looked like they were going to run away with the series, only to be stopped on their track by a defiant English side [More]

Anil Kumble
Anil Kumble is back with a bang, taking wickets in plenty and helping India win as he has done over so many years. Kumble has been the spearhead of the Indian bowling for a long while now; he has also been fighting a shoulder injury, which kept him out of action for more than a year. He made his comeback to international cricket in South Africa and did not have much success. [More]

Deep Dasgupta
Deep Dasgupta was initially picked for the one-day squad that played in the triangular series in South Africa as the team's only specialist wicket-keeper. The team management did not rate Dasgupta highly at all, and he had to make way for Rahul Dravid before the series was over. [More]

Ajit Agarkar
Ajit Agarkar is a name that brings mixed emotions to the ardent follower of Indian cricket. Here is a young fast bowler with so much of promise in him, making one hope and wish if only he lived up to it. Agarkar had lost a lot of goodwill over the last two years thanks to his infamous run of ducks against Australia and a lacklustre show with the ball. [More]

Sadagoppan Ramesh
The past fortnight has been an eminently forgettable one for Indian cricket and Indian cricket fans. Having lost the final of the triangular one-day tournament India desperately needed a positive result in the Test series to lift their morale. As it happened, the first Test at the Galle International Stadium was an absolute shocker. Notching up totals of just 180 and 187 the Indians succumbed meekly to a 10 wicket loss in just over three days. [More]

Harbhajan Singh
It's been a rather rocky fortnight for Indian cricket. Three defeats in the first three matches in the Coca-Cola Cup tri-series in Colombo clearly indicate that the team is fighting an uphill task to keep their chances alive in the competition. The batting has presented more problems than the bowling and the only silver lining in this non-performance has been provided by Harbhajan Singh.

Sachin Tendulkar
The world's numero uno batsman Sachin Tendulkar is our Player of the Fortnight. India played three One-day Internationals against West Indies in the last two weeks, the third being the final of the triangular series for the Coca Cola Cup. [ Part I | Part II ]

Ashish Nehra
Ashish Nehra, the 22-year-old left-arm seamer from Delhi is our 'Player of the fortnight'. Nehra made his debut for India, in the Asian Test Championship against Sri Lanka a couple of years ago. His consistent performance with the ball did not go unnoticed. Nehra has been a rediscovery on the Zimbabwe tour; he did create a good impression by picking up 5 wickets in the Bulawayo Test match, which India won handsomely. [ More ]

Shiv Sunder Das
Shiv Sunder Das is our Indian cricketer of the fortnight. His match winning effort in the historic overseas Test win at Bulawayo makes him a clear winner. This 23-year-old youngster is a refreshing addition to the Indian side. Das always carries a smile on his face as he goes about his task efficiently. This no nonsense player from Orissa made his debut against Bangladesh last year and hasn't looked back ever since. [ Part I | Part II ]
