Editor's Pick (T20): Pakistan - World XI

By
ICC World XI is here in Pakistan. They are gonna play three T-20 matches. It has been way too long since Pakistan has hosted an international cricket team. This tournament is very good for Pakistan. What happened was not only unfortunate but quite senseless at that. Pakistan is now welcoming top level cricket with open arms. Pakistan loves the game too much to let anything come between them and the game. This is also the time for fresh talent to see the day of light. This is really good for them. The word out there is to help restore international cricket in the country.
The question on the minds of some people - Why is there no Indian Player in World XI? Do you have any theories?


The schedule is as such
12 Sep
1st T20I - Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
7:30 PM IST
13 Sep
2nd T20I
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
7:30 PM IST
15 Sep
3rd T20I
Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore
7:30 PM IST

Tennis - a new season with exciting prospects

By
This article is written by Rajnikanth - a sports fan and a tennis fanatic.  He is on a personal mission to watch ATP events in every place possible :-) and is hoping that his god 'Roger Federer' wins a few more tournaments in 2014.  Rajni is a banker and is based in the middle east.  You can reach Rajni on his email - rajnikanth_r@yahoo.com


The new year was rung in with greetings from players across the world, followed by some key announcements. The new season is already a fortnight old and there have been plenty of excitement and several developments - on the Tennis court and off it!
Rafael Nadal continued his good run since his comeback in Feb 2013 but also suffered a rare loss at the hands of his compatriot, Davis Cup team mate and good friend David Ferrer in the exhibition tournament at Abu Dhabi and finished third. However, the following week, he won the Qatar Open, earning 500 ATP points and extending his lead over Novak Djokovic who continues to hold the second spot in th…

Fan Data Analytics: Key to drive sports company growth

By
Over the last several years, the buzz word in business and IT circles has been "big-data" and analytics. Many many articles and write-ups talk about them so I won't go into the details. You could get enough to last a lifetime with just the first few results of a Google search of these terms. But do you really know how it applies, specifically to a sports company?

For long, sports franchises have been one of the biggest users of analytics. Before this was a buzz word, coaches and managers have relied up numbers and finding patterns in them to drive on-field performance. Indeed, the major leagues of the world have relied on performance analytics for everything from scouting for talent to calling the action on the field of play.

But that never transcended to the off-field, more mundane but equally important task of managing the sports business. As more and more options come up vying for the fan's attention - live events, travel, other sports, TV, the Internet - the war…

Editor's Pick: England - South Africa (TEST)

By
I have been watching cricket for a while now. When it comes to the international matches, my instinct is always to pick the man who has been around a while. For me, experience almost always takes preference. There have been exceptions of course. But today is not that day.
England and South Africa met for a three match T-20 and are now set to face each other for the test series. Having met so recently, they are fairly familiar with each other and will be prepared.
Philander is declared fit to play for SA. Rabada and Morkel have my vote. Dean Elgar will captain if Du Plessis misses the first match ( personal reasons).
England - Hales and Roy will be depended upon. Broad believes he is fit for the match. Joe Root wears the captain’s cap. And he brings in Gary Ballance. England might bring in two spinners along with three fast bowlers for their attack.
This is my lineup for the first test match.
