Remembering Munich.

    They were some of the finest in the land. None were older than 28 and as many as four were 22 or younger. 53 years ago, Old Trafford's finest went up in flames.

The Case of the Dinho: Why the Brazilian Should Stick to Europe

That Ronaldo de Assís Moreira, aka Ronaldinho Gaucho, aka Ronaldinho is a great player is under a cloud. Just four years ago, he was rubbing shoulders with Diego Maradona as probably the greatest exponent of the game in living memory. Indeed, his complete control of the ball at his feet, the ability to swerve it one way, then the other, all the time keeping his marker guessing just what is going to happen next, is a sight to behold. For a brief moment it seemed as though the buck toothed genius was back. The moment was fleeting.

    With the last two Tests of the year taking place simultaneously in the southern hemisphere, one would suppose we have enough information with us about who the best batsmen, bowlers and wicket keepers are for the bygone year. So without further ado, let's dive into it.

Year End Review: India

    It would be naïve to suggest that the Indian cricket team's strangle hold of the top spot in Test cricket is absolute. In fact as South Africa are demonstrating at the moment, this Indian team is anything but an heir to the crown of world champions. It's a crown worn by stunning sides. From Bradman's Invincibles, one of the earliest outright dominant Test sides, to the West Indies teams of the 70s, 80s and early 90s. Australia have well and truly come to their end as the most dominating side of our times.
