Jul 30, 2007 K. Kumaraswamy 'When I was ranked 31 in 2005, I was probably playing top-70 tennis. I have now worked hard on some of my weaknesses and feel that my current ranking (of 31) is a better reflection of my level of tennis.'
The much-hyped 'prelude to the Ashes' turned out to be whimper instead of a cracker as the pacers and Martyn (78) guided the world champions to a comfortable six-wicket win that left England all but eliminated.
Oct 17, 2006 K. Kumaraswamy Showing no signs of being ruffled by the sensational dope scandal, Shoaib Malik (46 n.o.) and Abdur Razzaq (38 n.o.) kept their composure in the dying stages to snatch a thrilling four-wicket victory over Sri Lanka.
It was meant to be a walk in the park for the Indians after restricting England to their lowest-ever total of 125 against the hosts. But the batsmen made heavy weather of the chase to ultimately prevail by four wickets.
Opener Shahriar Nafees' century fashioned the team's morale boosting 101-run victory over Zimbabwe in an otherwise inconsequential encounter.
The opener's unbeaten 104 powered the Windies to a 10-wicket win and a Super Eight slot after the bowlers had restricted the opposition to 161.
'The rain has already ruined two matches and the forecast is not good, so we have requested for the series to be played at a later date,' a Sri Lanka Cricket official told reporters.
Cricket continued to remain a slave of the weather with monsoon rains forcing the first ODI between India and Sri Lanka to be abandoned.
Justifying the pull out, CEO of CSA Gerald Majola quotes from the independent report: 'The Olive Group report says, inter alia, that the current risk to the team is at an unacceptable level, and the Sri Lankan Government is unable to guarantee the ph
At 92-5 in their quest of 227, India looked set to return England the favour by emulating their Kotla display. But the 19-year-old's unbeaten 81 in the company of Dhoni (38) turned the game around for a four-wicket victory and 2-0 lead.
The day clearly belonged to the Turbanator. A top-score of 37 in India's modest 203, and then a career-best 5-31 to script a dramatic 39-run victory over England.
Extending his devastating form at the Feroze Shah Kotla, that has now seen him scalp 48 victims in five Tests, Kumble returns match figures of 10-157 (6-72 and 4-85) to mastermind the Sri Lankans' 188-run demise.
Chasing 436, Indian bowlers effect four dismissals in the final session to leave the visitors, at 123-5, with the daunting task of batting out the final day to stave off defeat.
Promoted to open the innings, the 21-year-old's 93 enhances his credentials as an all-rounder and hands India a handy overall 297-run lead.
Kumble revives fond memories of Kotla as he strikes four vital blows in the closing session to bring India back into the contest after Muralitharan had plotted a dramatic Indian collapse with a seven-wicket haul.
It took a long time coming, but fittingly it was here, where an Indian had first equalled the highest number of test centuries, where another Indian had taken the most number of wickets in a test innings, that yet another Indian, finally did what has
'It is never easy to get back into the national team. And it is not just me. If someone like Saurav Ganguly can be left out after scoring runs (in domestic cricket) ... Everyone has been performing.'

Every act of dissent is an art. Of pain and pathos. Of hope and new dawn. It’s their story. It’s everyone’s story.
Dissent is less about material gains than the intangibles they leave us with.
For India’s manual scavengers, mere existence is a protest, because they need to fight just to reclaim their humanity and dignity.
