By Sikander Hayat Rohit Sharma has scored a brilliant hundred against Australia in Melbourne in tri-nation series. He has scored 138 runs and single handedly took India out of trouble when they were three down for 50 odd runs. With Virat Kohli getting out cheaply, it fell to Rohit Sharma & Suresh Raina to cement the innings and take India to a total which can be defended. India now has a good chance in this match but still it is a 50 50 chance as they wasted last few overs and could not reach 300. Stark took six wickets and he proved too difficult for Indian tail enders . Rohit Sharma has scored double hundreds in ODI cricket but scoring runs away from home especially in Australia against a quality opposition will give him huge confidence and could prove vital for the 2015 cricket world cup. India is trying to find a combination both in bowling and batting and this series will help india find that winning combination. With this being Dhoni's last world cup...

By Sikander Hayat 1. Why has Fawad Alam not been selected in place of Umar Akmal . Akmal brothers have been a constant in Pakistan team for last ten years or so but apart from very rare occasion they have lead to Pakistan’s defeat rather than contributing to Pakistan’s victories. 2. Wahab Riaz should not have been selected for the world cup given the fact that he has never been a reliable bowler and his line & length on most occasions is totally off chart. 3. Umar Akmal has been a failure for so long that it is hard to imagine any other team having a player like him for this long period of time. There is a tendency in Pakistan selectors to overlook some very talented players while keep giving chances to players who look good on style but there is absolutely no substance. 4. Pakistani selectors destroyed the careers of many players but recent notables have been Asim Kamal & Fawad Alam . Selectors nearly killed off Misbah’s career as we...

By Sikander Hayat Indian army has today fired shells on Pakistani army in the Shakargarh region and has injured 2 Pakistani soldiers.  As usual both sides have blamed each other for starting the firing. BJP is trying to form government in Indian Administered Kashmir and this could be a ploy to concentrate minds in PDP camp. This is not a new tactic and has been deployed in the past. At the moment BJP is fighting hard to not only be part of government in Kashmir but have the post of chief minister at least on the rotation basis. BJP does not have a single seat in the Kashmir Valley & Ladakh as both of these areas are Muslim majority. All of BJP's 25 seats have come from Jammu which has a Hindu majority. BJP's hindutwa politics have worked their magic in Kashmir and have divided the state on religious level by making Kashmir & Ladaakh voting for Muslim candidates & Jammu entirely going for Hindu candidates. Few years ago Pervez Musharaf forwarded an ...
