    When he was accused of match-fixing and was subsequently banned by the Board for Control of Cricket in India (BCCI), Mohammed Azharuddin used to bristle at any criticism directed at him. Hiding behind his Ray-ban, Azhar would question the credentials of anyone and everyone who pointed an accusing finger at...

    I have been observing a trend. It has become fashionable for most consultants and technologists to blame the physician for all that is wrong with the healthcare industry.They have been accused of not adapting to new technology, being resistant to change and ensuring that healthcare as an industry remains unproductive....

    By T S Sudhir RIP Test cricket. As far as India is concerned. Blame me for over reacting if you will but if you read between the lines, captain cool M S Dhoni has done precisely that. With the cold hand of a cool assassin.  What Dhoni said was that...

    By S V L Narayan Sad, sad, sad being an Indian at the Oval today. A miserable series died a miserable death for Indian cricket. The first day started off promisingly with all the rain. I thought that would rescue us from a whitewash. Even on the third day, it...

    By Ram Ramnath   Last month, I had the pleasure of leisure, enabling me to watch the proceedings of the last two days of the Lord’s cricket match between England and India. What an immense joy this was. Cliché or no cliché, it must be said straightaway that the quality...

    I fear for the worst. After Nottingham, Geoffrey Boycott said India batted like Bangladesh. Now if we lose another Test or perhaps both, I dread he will compare Dhoni and company to Afghanistan. Or worse, his mom-in-law’s neighbourhood team. The last three days have seen reams of newsprint and airtime...
