Daryl Harper, the former international umpire, has said the ICC's failure to take any action against India captain MS Dhoni for criticising his decisions in the first Test against West Indies reflected the advent of "selective management" in cricket for various teams.

England haven't beaten India in a Test series since 1996. Former England batsman and coach reckons they won't be a contender to challenge India for the Numero Uno spot unless they beat them in their own backyard.

Rahul Dravid was infamously criticised by the media for refusing to enforce the follow-on against England at The Oval during India's tour of the UK in 2007.

Some grabbed their chances, some found the conditions as a test for their caliber but the West Indies tour was the perfect platform for Team India before the upcoming overseas tours.

In the end both teams said they are happy. From the outside it appeared West Indies should be a happier unit than India who never quite stamped their authority. They won the series but was that ever in doubt against this West Indies batting line-up?

VVS Laxman was dismissed in bizarre fashion - stumped after lifting his back leg on leaving a harmless Shivnarine Chanderpaul delivery outside off - on the third day of the third Test against West Indies in Dominica.

His was a standout performance in yet another dismal batting show by the West Indies and wicketkeeper Carlton Baugh said the key to his sparkling knock was to shut out the negativity and play his natural game.

Team India have a "Save Dhoni" campaign ahead of them if they want to pre-empt a ban on their skipper in the Lord's Test against England, beginning July 21.

Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni could not stop praising his lower-order batsmen after going up 1-0 in the Test series against the West Indies and the appreciation is well-deserved given that the team's tailenders have shown steely resolve in recent times.

Darren Sammy spent a sleepless night after dropping a catch which ultimately cost West Indies the first Test against India and the miss could haunt him for quite a while if the visitors go on to win the series.
