Cover Story
The batting should set the Aussie agenda
Despite having a formidable batting line-up, the exclusion of Andrew Symonds will hurt Australia on many levels, writes S. Ram Mahesh.
A test of character
Against the Aussies, aggression will have to be met with aggression. For India, much hinges on Virender Sehwag. The opener, psychologically, is crucial to India’s plans. If he can dismiss the new ball ruthlessly, the Aussies can be pegged back, writes S. Dinakar.

On The Ball
W.V. RAMAN COLUMN
Exciting days ahead
The main point of interest at this year’s AGM will be the appointment of the selection committee as the procedures for the nomination of the selectors are completely revised.

Squash
INTERVIEW/SAURAV GHOSAL
Going places
Hopefully, my recent win will spur me on to greater things. I dream of winning a medal for India at the Commonwealth and Asian Games in 2010, says Saurav Ghosal in this email interview with S. R. Suryanarayan.

Hockey
MCC-MURUGAPPA GOLD CUP
Air-India to the fore
The teams that took part in the tournament displayed the essence of competition, making the whole event worthwhile, writes S. Thyagarajan.

Kicking Around
BRIAN GLANVILLE COLUMN
Capello’s gamble
There has been a huge influx, even a preponderance, of foreigners into the Premiership, but there are still quite enough native gifted footballers, provided they play to their potential, to give England a more than decent team.

Swimming
Khade's brilliant run
Despite the Olympian's record-breaking spree, Maharashtra was unable to beat Karnataka in the race for the overall championship.

Football
Spurs in safe hands
Heurelho Gomes has arrived with a fine shot-stopping reputation and Tottenham fans are likely to expect big things as the campaign wears on, writes Andy Hampson.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Beating boredom
Chelsea's gaze is unavoidably fixed on the final in Rome next May. Having come close under Claudio Ranieri as well as Jose Mourinho and closer still under Avram Grant, the team has no option but to imagine its hands on the trophy at last, writes Kevin McCarra.
CHAMPIONS LEAGUE
Wenger's anger
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger marched on to the field at full-time to confront referee Luis Medina Cantalejo and argue that the penalty he had awarded to Dynamo was a wrong decision, and to cap his grievances he took issue with the Spaniard's allowance of injury-time minutes. By David Hytner.
ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP
Goals galore
Manchester City chose the perfect time to impress a gallery with global domination on the mind as it excelled against Portsmouth to record its biggest Premier League win, writes Andy Hunter.

City Lights
Bagan’s title No. 28
Karim Bencherifa, who combines a good academic profile with a fine coaching record, was the force behind Mohun Bagan’s triumph this year.
