Srini hai ke maanta nahin...
The Supreme Court on Thursday proposed former cricketer Sunil Gavaskar be appointed as interim chief of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in place of N Srinivasan till it gives its final verdict in the Indian Premier League (IPL) betting and spot-fixing case.
Falling flat!
India's embarrassing sequence of batting failure continued as they produced yet another spineless display to be skittled out for a paltry 148 and give the advantage to England on the very first day of the fifth and final cricket Test at Oval.
Srinivasan again!
Brushing aside intense criticism, N Srinivasan was elected unopposed as BCCI President for a third year during the Board`s AGM here on Sunday even though he will not take charge till further orders from the Supreme Court
Sachin Vs Dhayanchand
Barely a few hours after Sachin Tendulkar`s 24-year cricket career ended, the UPA government announced Bharat Ratna for Sachin. While there is no denying that Sachin is deserving of the award, his being the first sportsperson to receive it has raised eyebrows. Many say Dhyan Chand, India`s hockey legend, would have been a more appropriate choice.
SC's Magic!
Coming down heavily on BCCI president N Srinivasan, the Supreme Court on Tuesday asked him to step down for a free and fair probe in the betting and spot fixing scandal involving his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan and some cricketers, failing which it would pass an order.
A Friendly Match!

The Flying Bat
The hockey wizard retired in 1948. It`s impossible to compare generations or different sports. All of 5 feet 7 inches, Dhyan Chand won India three Olympic golds. But statistics count for nothing when one considers his influence on the game that he picked up only after joining the Army at 16. Had the wizard played cricket, his aura would have been no less than Sir Don`s.
India Dehan
Sri Lanka lifted their maiden World Twenty20 title at the third time of asking following their six-wicket victory against former champions India at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium on Sunday.
The Real Knight!
Even as West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee was still to arrive at Eden Garden`s to felicitate the KKR team for winning IPL7, there was utter chaos at the stadium. Police were spotted lathicharging in an attempt to control the crowd. Some children and women were also injured.
