Hi,
So, this is it! Another India-Pakistan final in the desert Kingdom of Sharjah. The Indians have put in a great effort over the last week or so to get into the final which promises to be a most absorbing game of cricket.
After the victory against Pakistan in the last of the qualifying matches, the Indians must be in a very positive frame of mind. As for Pakistan, the defeats in their last two matches must cause some concern. And the fact that Shoaib Akthar did not make any impact in the last game against India will be on the minds of the Pakistanis. What really happens in the Final remains to be seen. Till then, enjoy some good reading and cricket photography!
Are the Indian cricketers hitting top form at the right time?

A few runs from the tailenders
Tailenders too play a major role in batting. Much too often the Indian team collapses
after the fall of the 6th wicket. Girish K explains just how different the scenario would be if
the tailenders could contribute a few runs.
A tribute to Courtney Walsh
One of the greatest fast bowlers of all time and the latest to gatecrash into the 400 club. The highest wicket-taker for
the West Indies in test match cricket - the one and only Courtney Walsh. Seshu Kumar pays a tribute to this great West Indian.

Who says Dravid cannot play ODIs?
Rahul Dravid has for long been the black sheep of the Indian one-day cricket team. Often at the receiving end from the media, the pundits
and the fans alike for his 'slow scoring', Dravid has again proved his worth with his recent blitz against the Sri Lankans. Girish K explains
just why India cannot afford not to have Dravid in its one day team.
