From sidekick to Hero

Kotla One Day, Indian Innings
Something is wrong, something very seriously wrong with our top order batting. Look at this at end of 10 overs we were comfortably placed at 54/1, with both Gambhir and Dravid fully comfortable.

The Real Shopping-Cart Revolution
Five hundred years of progress packed into a sack of flour.By J. Bradford DeLong, Wired MagHere's some food for thought.A smart shopper can buy a 5-pound bag of Gold Medal flour for 69 cents. That's enough to feed three people for a day - 7,500 easy-to-digest, relatively nutritious, and potentially tasty calories. All for less than 0.7 percent of a...  more...
