Seen in terms of the conditions and the opposition, India’s ten-wicket win against New Zealand in Hamilton is an admirable achievement but no more; where it gains in significance is the fact that it was the first time Tendulkar found himself on the winning side in five tours, writes S. Ram Mahesh.
India packs a wallopSachin Tendulkar elevated his game. The second part of his 160 was a treat for the gods — pity only a few thousand saw it. Of his 26 fours, there were several that took the breath away. S. Ram Mahesh reports. NEW ZEALAND DIARY 
Of sports shows‘The Crowd Goes Wild’ is a popular television programme in New Zealand, and it’s often very funny. It features as anchor Mark Richardson, who is well past his days as a dull-dog opener. By S. Ram Mahesh.
Winning spin Harbhajan Singh bowled exceptionally well in the Kiwi second innings. More than the number of wickets, it was the mode of dismissals that was a delight to watch.

Ominous clouds follow UnitedThe Manchester United players were way below the imperious standard they set very recently. And it was not even Fulham, or the officials, who provoked United’s players to take their eye off the ball. Scholes and Rooney, and a couple more besides, managed to get wound up all by themselves. By Amy Lawrence. ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP 
Liverpool hot on United's heelsWith the trouncing of Aston Villa, Rafael Benitez's team closed to within a point of the leader, although Manchester United has a game in hand. Such a statistic cannot discourage a rampant Liverpool, for which Steven Gerrard, with the help of a pair of penalties, recorded his first Premier League hat-trick. By Kevin McCarra.
Another interesting season on the cardsThe slew of technical changes wrought by the FIA is what makes the 2009 season unpredictable but interesting. The introduction of KERS, re-entry of slicks and the new aerodynamic regulations present a whole new challenge to the teams. Formula One can’t get anymore interesting, writes G. Raghunath.
