POPSAh, the Indian did it, eh! The Englishman taught the game and the indians picked it up cleanly. Did you see the film LAGAAN?

POPSCricket's honour role gets a shake up The ratings today tend to be on statistical averages, but this doesn't take into account the contribution to the team, and so to winning. Somehow Don Bradman always came out on top. If he had scored 1 run in his final innings he would have had an average of 100.

Before I can say Sachin Tendulkar, I am in the air, on my way to Bombay. India has risen to the occasion.
