CARDIFF: After becoming the No. 1 Test and best T20 team in the world, England are now eyeing the 2015 World Cup. If the words of England batting consultant cum batting coach Graham Gooch are to be believed, the process has already begun. He says the ODI battle against India in their backyard will also test the mettle of the England team. He revealed more during a brief chat with TOI.

Cricket History Best Three Cricket Matches Ever

No.3 Year 1882, Test #9 : Australia got the better of England and beat them by seven runs at The Oval. Fred Spofforth took 14 wickets, and had there been Man of the Match award then, then he would have been the lone contender. The Sporting Times published a mock obituary of English cricket and stated that the body will be cremated and the ashes be taken to Australia. Thus began a cricketing battle for the ages, which goes by the name of the Ashes. No.2 Year 1981, Test #905 : Almost a hundred years since the famous Test that gave birth to the Ashes, came another gem of a match between the old rivals Australia and England. This time the venue was Headingley. If former Australia captain Richie Benaud, who was then commentating for BBC television, is to be believed, then it was...

New Zealand VS South Africa Jacob Oram takes New Zealand into Semi Finals

New Zealand 221 for 8 (Ryder 83, Taylor 43, Morkel 3-46) beat South Africa 172 (Oram 4-39) by 49 runs  Oh South Africa, what have you done?
