    The next time someone tells you cricket is a religion in India, tell them about Afghanistan. Yes, you heard it right. Afghanistan. Cricket is a great unifier.

    By T S Sudhir Seems strange and eerie how India and Pakistan are sailing in the same boat on several counts this January, with some minor differences. It is almost as if the LoC has taken a New Year-Sankranti break. Sample this. (and please feel free to add to it...

    My colleague in Bangalore, Vasanthi Hariprakash, a self-confessed cricket-hater posted this on Facebook the morning after the Mohali clash : “Now I realise, I should have gone to Tirupati yesterday.
