India Looking For Some Miracle In Last Test

Team India shamed at WACA

2012-01-20T04:33:00.000-08:00

The name of the game is back - after the loss of Hobart, Michael Clarke and Co. had a lot to prove and a 4-0 score line against India will definitely make a world of good to Clarke. India, after the failure in England, were also in a similar position. But were they expected to prove something? Well, not all. The turnaround has happened before this Australian tour in itself! During its home series against West Indies, India reportedly were at their best dominant, just as they were before the No.1 ranked Test team (apparently). England but the episode was just a freak like many were pointing out and Dhoni and BCCI will consider this "Blunder Down Under 'to be a moment of aberration second consecutive time?

During the presentation post match, Dhoni had said in a very casual (or was serious about a casual way) that this is only the second time in a row the batsmen failed to touring abroad. Considering the fact that the next big tour or a series of test to be specific to India will not happen in the near future, the scouts not a third time in a row seems a distant reality for now.

Dhoni also came out boldly taking all the blame for poor team and the show in a way that it's here. His staff is so disappointing that he needs something to worry about his lack of tactical gaming test (ONLY IN TESTING) is again something that he needs to work on. Yes, it is true that he has taken a lot of workload off the end. Captaining a team like India in all three formats to be behind the stumps all the time with the concentration is very taxing and add to this IPL, CLT20 duties (although the last two are personal choices). Also, delivering Vinay Kumar to debut at WACA when you are 0-2 down with the likes Abhimanyu Mithun at his disposal a selection is very wrong to do.

Anyway, from Dhoni injury or for that matter batsmen bashing, a turnaround is only possible if the hard decisions are made, not a turnaround in the current series, but a turnaround on their luck abroad. A valiant knock of 75 in the second innings and 31 in a gritty first Kohli should end the "Rohit Kohli for debate." As was the case in England openers have struggled here, too. One of the main reasons for the success of Australia during early 2000 was the Langer-Hayden pairing at the top and, incidentally, one of the reasons for his fall in the form last year was the failure of pairing Phil Hughes, Shane Watson.

Changes at the top must be imminent

Here on this tour, Australia lost the services of Watson, but made two bold decisions. They supported the 'expert T20' David Warner and Ed Cowan pulled out for their spectacular fashion last season on the national circuit. His pairing fired and the team achieved positive results. Sehwag-Gambhir pair again was very instrumental in the success of India at home, but outside of India, Delhi boys could not match. Since South Africa tour in January last year, statistics openers "have been very discouraging. In the last 12 innings abroad, the partnership has been a 137, 19, 27, 8, 3, 22, 17, 0, 18, 4, 24. Even against West Indies in a humble home, both do not stand united a century. Sehwag personal form is no less disappointing with his last big score in Tests (151) coming way back in 2008 against New Zealand . Ajinkya Rahane who traveled to England and played in the ODIs was impressed with his footwork and ability to negotiate the ball in motion. To try this home run machine at the top in the Adelaide Test would not be a bad deal at all.

Moreover, the ban means that Wriddhiman Saha Dhoni would get a chance to sort in No.7 and more importantly, Sehwag would have to lead the team in its place.

Rohit Sharma to VVS Laxman in

This potentially could be VVS Laxman tour of the past and his duck second ball of the innings eleven may be the last. But with rumors of a possible retirement, he might well be given one last go in Adelaide. But again, while Rohit Sharma on a tour of right and not make him play would be very disappointing for him.

In addition, Ravichandran Ashwin being dropped for Vinay Kumar was a wrong decision. However, this medium-pacer failed to impress, and any comparison with Praveen Kumar was very overwhelmed by David Warner in route to your rampaging 180. So to give Pragyan Ojha a chance would be ideal, in addition to some entertaining batting, bowling Ravi Ashwin was very mediocre. Be a left armer Pragyan would definitely be a challenge for the Australian batting line-up and that would be a perfect platform to test how good it really is Ojha.

This series Down Under is already done and dusted, and it is time for the cricketing authorities to sit down and make a commission of Argus, and insight of the game more, decide how to phase out the older people the best possible way for them and to the game.

Now a reality show around cricket

2012-01-02T21:14:00.000-08:00

Cricket, the most popular sport in India that gradually but surely turned a mass entertainer Courtesy IPL (Indian Premier League), now being seen in a new avatar.

UTV Bindass has partnered with the cricket Academy based in Delhi, Indraprastha all India Sports Foundation, to create a cricket-based reality show that the channel intends to launch in February.

Named Cricket Champs, the show will choose players from the interior who have the talent, but not the opportunity. Players selected then will be given a platform to showcase their talent at the national level. According to the format of the show, Cricket Champs will focus on cricket matches based on format T10 and steer players to Polish their skills. Some of the gurus of Cricket on the show include Irfan and Yusuf Pathan, Keerti Aazad and Piyush Chawla.

Cricket Champs will hunt for the next cricket superstar in markets such as Mumbai, Kolkata, Patna, Bihar, Jharkhand and capturing the areas West and East. In the North, the search will be performed in Delhi, Chandigarh, Jaipur and Uttar Pradesh, while in the South, will be held in Chennai and Chennai.

Keith Alphonso, head of business, UTV Bindass, talking about the format of the show, says, "the objective of the proposed reality show Champ of cricket, is to provide a platform for players from the streets to show their talent, identify this raw talent from the interior, groom the available, still un-utilised talent in future stars and cricket captains future by showing their cricket skills project leadership".

According to Alphonso, the channel has yet to decide on the time track. "The show will be a weekly primetime and will run for 13 episodes. He will have a main sponsor; However, the channel wants to rope in four other associated sponsors, "he adds.

Within the framework of the partnership UTV Bindass-Indraprastha all India Sports Foundation, UTV not only will the reality show in a cricket talent hunt at candidates of the interior and groom them in cricket future stars, but will also identify future commanders or Champs of Cricket. In the process, Indraprastha coordinate with candidates, coaches and shore-based installations and organize auditions and the selection process. UTV Bindass will raise telecast the program and, thus, make sure that the show reaches all families.

But, this format will work?

Navin Khemkha, Senior Vice President, ZenithOptimedia, notes that such preview formats have been tried before by the broadcasting industry. And, while he could work in programming terms, depending on how deep the show intends to penetrate throughout the country, create a star of these participants will be a difficult task.

"India already has a very strong backbone when it comes to cricket. If a player is good, it certainly will play at least the level of State. To "improve and push these new faces at will gang, therefore, be a difficult task, he says.

Will Gambhir do a Cook in Australia?

2011-12-20T21:09:00.000-08:00

Just over a year ago, Alastair Cook was in the position where Gautam Gambhir is now. After having a mediocre series against Pakistan at home, where he could only score 167 runs in seven innings, questions were raised about how the left-hander would fare on the bouncier tracks of Australia during the Ashes.

In bowler-friendly conditions at home, Cook's technique was found wanting against the swing and seam bowling of Mohammad Asif and Mohammad Amir. His position at the top of the order was hanging on a knife's edge as critics in England expressed doubts about how the Essex player would cope up against the swing of Ben Hilfenhaus, seam movement of Ryan Harris and pace of Mitchell Johnson. What followed in Australia dispelled those doubts emphatically as Cook rightfully earned his place in the echelon of England-Australia rivalry.

Cook began the Ashes with 67 and an 235 in his first two innings of the opening Test in Brisbane as England secured a draw after being bowled out for 296 in the first innings. On the final day, in the company of Jonathan Trott, cook scored his maiden double-century while putting on 329 as the vistors declared at 517 for 1.

That was just the beginning of a dream run that lasted throughout the Australian summer. Where before the Ashes he had been singled out as a 'weak link' in England's set-up, Cook broke a host of batting records over the five Tests and helped England retain the urn while exacting revenge for the 5-0 beating on their previous tour. His colossus contributions - 235 in Brisbane, 148 in Adelaide and 189 in Sydney - made in those seven innings turned out to be career-defining ones.

Gambhir, too, is going to Australia after a forgettable tour of England where he could only muster 102 runs in six innings as India were whitewashed 4-0, and a mediocre outing against an under-strength West Indies in which he could not convert any of the starts he got in five innings. So does Gambhir have the wherewithal to change his game in Australia? Will he be able to tackle the new breed of Australian fast bowlers - Peter Siddle, James Pattinson, Patrick Cummins and Mitchell Starc?
Gambhir's eight-year-long career illustrates that whenever he is put under the pump, he has come out shining. The 2005-06 season was one such occasion. Having scored just 54 runs against the visiting Sri Lankans and only eight runs in the lone Test against Pakistan in 2007-08, Gambhir had a dream spell over the next five series.

The Delhi opener stamped his authority during the period by scoring eight centuries in the space of 10 Tests. If his 206 against Australia in Delhi in 2008 was an innings that showcased Gambhir's attacking abilities, then his 643-minute century to save a Test in Napier proved that he could also channel the patience of a saint. It's not just about the vital knocks Gambhir has played, but his ability to get under the skin of the opposition that makes him a fierce competitor.

What lies ahead is definitely the biggest challenge Gambhir has faced in his 44 Tests. Though the tracks in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth and Adelaide don't have the same sting they had about a decade back, they still are capable of testing the techniques of some of the world's best batsmen. Gambhir has often been found susceptible of playing away from his body, especially early on in his innings. Fending and poking at deliveries outside the off stump has led to his downfall on numerous occasions. Getting the better of these flaws before the Boxing Day Test could well be the difference between the success and the failure Gambhir will taste in the next month or so.

And just like Cook, who went to Australia after working on his flaws for hours with England batting coach Graham Gooch, Gambhir too will hope that his chats with India coach Duncan Fletcher, who has played a key role in improving the batting techniques of Gary Kirsten, Jacques Kallis, Michael Vaughan and Andrew Strauss, will come handy in the upcoming Test series.

Gambhir tasted success in Australia when he helped India win the 50-over competition on their last tour. But the time has come for him to replicate that success into the longer format. The onus will be on him, along with Virender Sehwag, to give India platforms which can be built further by the strong middle-order of Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar and VVS Laxman. Last year Cook got etched his name in the record books; whether Gambhir does the same this time around will be a topic of much interest, if not a pivotal ingredient to India's fortunes.

India series is Clarke's toughest task

2011-12-19T21:28:00.000-08:00

The first time Michael Clarke captained an Australian side, it was in a Twenty20 against New Zealand in December 2007. Regular skipper Ricky Ponting had opted to rest ahead of a big home series against India, which Australia – then the top-ranked team in the world – won amid plenty of drama and no little controversy.

Four years later, India are back in Australia and this time Clarke – now permanent captain – is the man who will be leading the team, but one that is in the unfamiliar position of being ranked below India, at fifth.

That, however, is just one of the many challenges which Clarke faces ahead of what is easily the biggest (and longest) test of his short career at the helm of Australia’s Test side – a four-match series at home against India.

So far, since taking over in March, Clarke’s record stands at three wins, two draws and two losses in his seven Tests in charge. While the numbers don’t make for impressive reading, what is more worrying is the manner in which Australia have played in these matches. The dominant wins in Galle and Brisbane – in which, incidentally, Clarke played a major rile with the bat - have been offset by incredible lows in Cape Town and Hobart, including the manic day which saw Australia bowled out for 47, their lowest total in 109 years. "One step forward and two steps backwards," was how Clarke aptly described it.

The inconsistency is largely down to the lack of form of Australia’s senior and more experienced players, the inexperience of the in-form younger ones, and a crop of injuries. Currently, Clarke can only rely on James Pattinson and Peter Siddle, what with Pat Cummins out until mid-January, Mitchell Johnson for four to five months, and Ryan Harris still uncertain for the Boxing Day Test. That is one headache, but it is the batting - prone to sudden collapses - that will be causing him greater concern. Never mind the individual form of Ponting, Michael Hussey, Phil Hughes or Brad Haddin; in eight Tests this year, Australia’s top seven batsmen have collectively averaged 33.5, their lowest since 1988. Injuries to Shane Watson, Shaun Marsh, Tim
Paine and others have only served to add to the feeling of crisis.

Clarke’s personal form – dire at the start of the year when he averaged 18 in the 12 months before replacing Ponting – is the only silver lining for an under-fire Australian middle order. Although he has been a constant member of the side since his Test debut in 2005, there had been very few defining innings in his career. That has changed in recent months.

His confident 60 in Galle, the captain’s knock of 112 in Colombo, the sublime 151 amid the ruins in Cape Town and the 139 in Brisbane – all produced in different conditions – have given the impression that the additional responsibility of captaincy is bringing out the best in Clarke. The only worry, again, will be the inconsistency: apart from his two hundreds in the series against South Africa and New Zealand, he was out for 22 or fewer in the other five innings.

Clarke has also shown promise as a captain and a man-manager, despite having inherited a side lacking in skills and stability. He has managed to get the best out of players despite many of them being debutants and also displayed an astute tactical
nous, inventiveness, focus and mental toughness.

The challenge for Clarke, though, is not limited to raising his team’s performance to match up to the Indians. The upcoming series will provide the man who is still known as ‘Pup’ a chance to break away from the past and stamp his own personality on the team. Both sides have a come a long way since the hostility on the last tour by India, which was overshadowed by the ‘Monkeygate’ scandal that led to plenty of bad blood and even calls for Ponting’s sacking. Clarke, who was part of the infamous Sydney Test, will not want to be labeled as arrogant or belligerent - in any case, this team does not yet have the results to back it up - and so he will have to ensure there is no repeat of that unpleasantness.

Provided Australia do well and his own good run of form continues, Clarke may also finally be able to change the public perception about him back home and earn the respect of the fans as national skipper. Throughout his career, the 30-year-old has been disparaged for his stylish appearance, model girlfriends and flashy lifestyle. He was not so much the popular, rather the default choice as captain after Ponting; and so he will be motivated to win over the fans who once voted him as Australia’s most over-rated cricketer.

The India series, then, in many ways is critical for Clarke, the captain. The start of his era has been cautious and difficult. Australia are in a period of transition, struggling to find the personnel and confidence that once made them one of the greatest-ever sides. So as Australia’s 43rd Test captain, who will oversee the exit of past greats and the entry of new stars, Clarke has the unenviable task of leading the team out of this period of turmoil, and how he handles it will shape not only his own future, but that of the Australian team as well. The Argus review has also given him more power than any of his predecessors, and he and new coach Mickey Arthur will have a say in selection, which adds to the pressure.

Having waited so long to assume leadership, Clarke has shown enthusiasm and determination for the rebuilding process, and having been a part of the team that dominated world cricket not too long ago, he will want a return to the glory days. However, having also seen the final days of Ponting’s captaincy, Clarke will have understood that he will need victories and runs to prove himself as a leader. So far under Clarke, Australia have yet to lose a series of any kind. If the case remains the same come the end of the India series, the new skipper will have come a long way in answering the questions currently facing him and his team.

India cricketer Harbhajan backs under-fire Ponting

2011-12-15T05:31:00.000-08:00

Underperforming batsman Ricky Ponting received the unexpected support of Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh, who predicted the first captain of Australia will make a strong comeback.
"I do not think Ponting is finished and I think people are making a big mistake when writing it," Harbhajan said amid calls for removing Ponting for the upcoming test series against India.
"Guys like Ponting, Rahul Dravid and Sachin Tendulkar know what they are doing and people should stop asking them," the off-spinner was quoted as saying by Press Trust of India.
Harbhajan has been involved in several fire fights verbal field with Ponting in the past.
But he said Ponting should be respected for their achievements in the game and needed to be done if he felt well enough to play at the top level.
"The Australian fans should not put pressure on Ponting. He is just one innings away from finding his best form," said the Indian.
Ponting, who turns 37 months following, he scored 12,656 runs in 158 Tests at an average of 52.29 with 39 centuries. But he is without a test century since January 2010.
Harbhajan, whose 406 wickets in 98 tests make it the most successful international player is still playing at the top level, was not selected for the Australian tour because of poor form.
The highly anticipated series of four tests between India and Australia opened in Melbourne on December 26.

Kumble steps down as NCA chief over conflict of interest

2011-12-13T23:21:00.000-08:00

Former Indian cricket captain Anil Kumble came president of the National Cricket Academy (NCA) on Monday after the Indian cricket board members at a meeting raised the question of a "conflict of interest" in using his multiple hats.

Kumble, however, publicly defended his role as director of management company Tenvic player called and said he did not come in the form of their holding administrative posts, either in the Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA) or the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI).

"I had a vision of three years, a holistic approach to the ANC, which was not in alignment with the rest of the commission. It made no sense to me to be just a figurehead in this type of situation. So, I thought was better than someone else take over, "Kumble was quoted as saying by ESPNcricinfo.com.

Critics pointed out that Kumble, who is chairman KSCA, president of the ANC and a mentor with the Indian Premier League (IPL) team Royal Challengers Bangalore, is in a position to influence the selection of players managed by Tenvic.

At the meeting, Kumble apparently had a brush with employees of the board on the subject before he offered to leave and his resignation was accepted. The former BCCI treasurer MP Pandove, president of academics, was named interim president NCA.

The "conflict of interest" was highlighted by the Outlook magazine, citing that India medium-pacer Vinay Kumar of Karnataka state and new ball bowler Sreenath Aravind, who was in India sqaud for the series of England, was signed by the management company Kumble.

It was considered that as KSCA president, Kumble is in a position to appoint selectors that may be getting players who were hired by the firm of Kumble. RCB also as a mentor, their decisions could benefit the players signed by him.

Kumble tried to clear the air when he told TV channel CNN-IBN and said that his company was an event management company out to make big money, it would be a sign of top Indian cricketers not to promote budding players.

"I would like to clarify that I certainly am not a player-coach, nor my company is a talent management company. This must be very clear," he said.

"If I were a businessman, if I was dealing with a talent management company, then I would pursue major international stars. The orientation is Tenvic cricketers and we have all players Karnataka. These are the two (S. Aravind and Vinay Kumar). And as a mentor in chief of RCB, we mentor Indian players representing Royal Challengers. "

Kumble launched Tenvic, coined after Kumble in a Perfect Ten innings in 1999, in January to promote not only cricket, but all sports, along with his brother and former table tennis player Dinesh Vasanth Bharadwaj as driectors.

Denying that there is any conflict of interest, Kumble said his positions with the KSCA and the ANC are honorary in nature and that he had to look after their interests at this stage of his life.

Australia to work on swing weakness at batting camp

2011-12-13T23:17:00.000-08:00

Struggling Australian batsmen will be sent for repair work against the moving ball as they prepare for the Boxing Day Test against India. Four of the men who played in Australia's shock loss to New Zealand in Hobart to Melbourne will soon to a field cricket coach Mickey Arthur and aims to strengthen their skills after they struggled to deal with seam and swing at Bellerive Oval.

Ricky Ponting, Michael Hussey, Brad Haddin and captain Michael Clarke will attend camp from December 20-22. They will be joined by Shane Watson, who expects to be fit for the Boxing Day after suffering a hamstring injury in South Africa last month. Daniel Christian, the No. 12 player in the Hobart Test, will also participate, as well as Shaun Marsh, but only if your back problem allows ongoing.

Cricket Australia described the cricket field, as a complement to prepare David Warner, Phillip Hughes, Usman Khawaja and Ed Cowan, who at the time to be playing for the President's XI against the Indians of CA in Canberra. Australia's selectors will pick the squad for the Test match in Melbourne after the President's XI for three days.

There is much work to be done for the group of hitters. Against New Zealand struggled to deal with the exact balance and sewing Doug Bracewell, Chris Martin, Tim Southee and Trent Boult, while in the previous tour in South Africa that were demolished by 47 when the ball nipped around a field Newlands challenging.

Not only does the series. Australia were dismissed for 88 when Pakistan swinging the ball on the first day in Leeds last year, and last 98 Boxing Day against England. In two previous series, only the newcomer Clarke and David Warner on average more than 30, the scouts of experts, and they are the only men to have scored centuries.

"Obviously, I was disappointed," said Arthur after the loss of Hobart. "The ball was swinging a thing again, probably in a little exposed. This will be high on the agenda before Boxing Day because I know [India coach] Duncan Fletcher and I know very well that he will try and expose ourselves to the swinging ball. We need to put a hell of a lot of work for that, especially with our top seven batsmen. This will be the focus. "

Topping the agenda will be working against the style of bowling likely to come from India, whose test attack will be led by Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan, who is returning from injury. Last time India played a test in Australia, Ishant was a teen prodigy whose angle for right-handers, especially troubled Ponting.

During a period in the magnificent WACA, where India won, Ponting Ishant worked more than an hour and began to expose vulnerabilities that have plagued Ponting since. Despite their overall record against Australia is moderate, Ponting and Clarke dismissed Ishant six times each of eight tests, while he also picked up Watson's wicket four times in five games.

"The bowling machine is probably going to replicate it a bit," said Arthur. "We can work on angles and Ishant bowls as Ishant bowls, and try to replicate how he bowls. I guess you could get a couple of extra days in our scouts, to sharpen them and improve their techniques, I think this will be invaluable ahead of what is a huge series for Australia. "

In his first two Tests in charge, Arthur saw the best and worst side, with its strong in the Gabba win followed by his first defeat to New Zealand in 18 years. That inconsistency is a major problem that the team needs to correct, and often are senior members on the side instead of the younger men who are up and down.

An example is Haddin, the vice-captain for the series in New Zealand. In Cape Town, he made two shots in difficult circumstances unwise to leave before he contributed valuable two half centuries in Johannesburg and Brisbane to help build Australia's victories. But this was again followed by two shots misjudged out in Hobart.

In the first innings, Haddin threw Bracewell to mid-off to leave Australia by 69 to 6, and persecution, he was abandoned in a ball of string slip and took the very next delivery, having learned from their mistakes, driving in an outswinger Southee. Arthur said in some degree the Australians had to accept the aggressive style of play Haddin was natural, but that he, like all scouts, had to adapt to the situation.

"One of the keywords I used [in the post-game address] was 'tough,'" said Arthur. "The situation out there, took a little resistance and I was a little disappointed as we folded in the middle. These are things that we discussed, discussed openly and honestly.

"You would think that the guys who are more experienced are able to adapt to the situation. I would think that their experienced players do it with comfort. They were in this position before and win games for Australia."

Before his test cricket ground, all scouts are expected to appear in a game Big League Bash, subject to fitness, with the exception of Hughes, who withdrew from the T20 tournament. Your focus must quickly return to a larger format when they meet in Melbourne next Tuesday.

BCCI to set up regional academies at Mumbai, Chennai and Mohali

2011-12-12T21:30:00.000-08:00

In an attempt to reduce the load on the Bangalore National Cricket Academy (NCA), the Indian cricket board will begin regional academies in Mumbai, Chennai and Mohali.

The decision was suggested by the Expert Committee chairman MPPandove Academies and was accepted by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), in its working committee meeting here Monday.

"The three academies will lessen the load on the NCA. Each academy will serve nine states and this will have an important effect on the development of talent," said a senior BCCI told IANS on condition of anonymity.

The BCCI is also planning to go on a massive talent hunt program in the northeastern states.

"We will be open to hold trials in the northeast and the players would be better trained in the three academies," the official said. (IANS)

Why ridicule Sachin Tendulkar while rejoicing Virender Sehwag’s moment of glory?

2011-12-12T21:26:00.000-08:00

As Virender Sehwag bulldozed his way to world record score, the whole country - and the large pockets of Indians around the world - went delirious with excitement. There was a kind of innocence that were brutally criticized the balls to all corners of the earth, killing Strokeplay purified by fire, which seemed to burn the Holkar Cricket Ground.

What followed in the wake of such a fantastic brand paints a rather mottled nature of following cricket in India. There were trucks that deserved praise and applause framed with monumental achievement that deserves and sparkling ornaments. However, there was also in the same proportion as the propensity to aging Indian cricket fan to dive in March in a dark green color comparison in order to spot some of the brilliant gemstones in the treasury of the sport.

Instead of savoring the moment and allowing the skin to the deliciously creepy die down with the reverberating echoes of the maestro's tremendous blows Najafgarh, came the cult of self-appointed activists who claim to live cricket to keep the game supposedly clear the vicious tentacles of individualism and cabalistic blasphemy.

Quixotically enough, Sachin Tendulkar, miles away from the action, peacefully flying through the skies on their way to Australia, began to appear on posts, articles and comments. For many it was a triumph against the sport's passion for individual glory, represented by Tendulkar and adulation for his accomplishments. For some ridiculous metaphysical armchair, was proof that man could triumph over 'God'. The joy of these perverts peculiar, played in more and more curious by the game in this country, had to be seen and read to be believed. A joke floated on Tendulkar to be the new holder of the world record for the slowest century pair soon began to be taken seriously and doing the rounds as a manufactured sense of righteous indignation against the man who had broken the barrier of 200 run. Well, if a ball 147-200 can be criticized for slowness, I'll live with it.

While the end result was simply that Sehwag scored a brilliant world record 219, and India won the match and series comprehensively, this reaction produced ridiculous comical self-referential paradoxes designed by the guardians of the game, the national guards and the theological Indian cricket.

It is proof that these followers of the game can not really go beyond the limits of individual fanaticism. His enjoyment of the brightness of Sehwag got one second for his poor endless effort to tar and feather the achievements of the greatest Indian batsman of all time. The country and the causes of India are simply excuses for these sick souls to rise on evil humiliation of a hero.

And appealing to the spirit of a soul away, someone across the heavens towards the Down Under, these groups widely dispersed hateful gene did little to ensure that the commander was bestowed with powers of ubiquity. It was very critical of these through their own interests in order to throw mud on his way malicious-breaking performances, which showed the skills of the man of God to a god, let it penetrate into realms where it does not even exist. Tendulkar missing seemed to have a more powerful influence than Tendulkar present, a turning point for a God.

Would not it be simpler to revel in the glory of two Indians have the record for the two best scores in One Day International cricket? The Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid own, the two main clusters in cricket Test match as well?

Australian fans can imagine reacting that way, if Michael Clarke broke some record of Ricky Ponting? English or if Jimmy Anderson has gone through some set in March by Ian Botham?

SL sweat over injuries ahead of first Test

2011-12-12T21:23:00.000-08:00

Sri Lanka are confident key batsman Kumar Sangakkara will recover from a hand injury in time for the first Test against South Africa, from Thursday.

Sangakkara, 34, split the webbing between index and second fingers of his right hand during the time-affected match against Sri Lanka is an SA Invitation XI in Benoni on the weekend and was unable to bat.

Sri Lanka team manager Anura Tennekoon told Reuters he was confident Sangakkara, Sri Lanka's second highest all time run scorer with 9167 runs in 103 tests, will be able to play in the first Test in Centurion.

"Sanga divided the plot in his right hand, but that's okay, he is recovering well, according to medical experts, it should be fine for the first test," he said on Monday Tennekoon.

Prospects for fast bowling Sri Lanka are less positive, however, after pressure from the tendon Nuwan Pradeep added to a series of injuries among pacemen.

Nuwan Kulasekara, Dhammika Prasad, Shaminda ERANGE and Suranga Lakmal were excluded from the tour before departure and Pradeep 25-year-old is now likely to be joining them back home, Tennekoon said.

"Nuwan Pradeep'll probably have to go home and be replaced. The replacement has not been decided yet because the selectors want to look at a few bowlers in the first home game. So it's unlikely the replacement will arrive in time for the first test. "

Sri Lanka has not won a race in South Africa in seven attempts and the home team vice-captain AB de Villiers said the tourists held little fear for them.

"If we get a good cricket wicket and play good cricket, then they will not stop us," De Villiers told a news conference in Centurion on Monday.

The batsman said the series represented an ideal opportunity for South Africans to end an amazing three-year gap since their last series victory at home over Bangladesh in 2008 / 9.

"We need to get back to playing consistently good cricket for longer periods, which is probably why it has not won at home for a while. We do this for the entire series against Sri Lanka," said De Villiers.

"My feeling is that Test cricket is all about momentum and you will have waves that are up and down. Who maximizes the opportunities when they are on top when they have the opposition on the ropes, will win. You have to finish the opposition be aggressive, if you're batting or bowling. "

Pollard wants to be more consistent

2011-12-11T23:14:00.000-08:00

After scoring his maiden century, Kieron Pollard said he would like to be more consistent internationally.

"I hope I'm more consistent. Thank God, I have my hundred single. Looking for a team win. It did not happen today.

"I just have to go back and reflect on what went wrong. First two games were very close. Fortunately, we'll have a couple of months out of international cricket and reflect and come back strong for Australia," Pollard told mediapersons here on Sunday.

Asked how important it was to beat, he replied: "one hundred significant. I was looking for a different approach after I had a pair of matches in the previous games. Thank God, one of the best defenders (Kohli) I fell in India at 99 tonight. "

Pollard said his mantra was simple, to go to the ball which is in its slot.

"I was looking for singles, and when the ball is in your bow, go for it. Fortunately, I'll learn from it and do good innings for West Indies in the future too."

Pollard does not seem to be upset about public opinion that it is only a T20 player.

"Everyone has an opinion. As far as I'm concerned, I feel that when I get back to my room I should know that I have given my one hundred percent. I can be hard on myself, if I played a bad shot. but later in the day, what people have to say are just opinions. "

Pollard said it is just a mental aspect that West Indies are not being able to win close games.

"It's just a killer instinct or mental aspect. Past sides of the West Indies who then had the Australians and now India is doing very well. Hopefully, we'll be better equipped mentally to deal with matches in the near future."

Virender Sehwag creates history, becomes highest scorer for India in ODIs and Test

2011-12-11T23:08:00.000-08:00

Flamboyant Indian batsman Virender Sehwag created history by becoming the highest scorer ever in a one-day innings and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar for the second mate after scoring a double century in the fourth ODI against West Indies.

Sehwag smashed their way into the record books with his stupendous 219, surpassing Tendulkar's 200 not out against South Africa in Gwalior on 24 February last year.

This remarkable achievement Sehwag gives the unique distinction of being India's top scorer in both Tests and ODIs. He scored 319 against South Africa in Chennai in 2008.

The dashing opener hit the double century mark when Andre Russell square-cut for a threshold in more than 44 Indian innings, sparking wild celebrations in the stands and dressing room jam-packed stadium in Holkar.

He faced 140 balls and hit 23 fours and six sixes in his marathon innings. Tendulkar had made his 200 off 147 balls.

Sehwag punched the air with his right hand after reaching his double century before Rohit Sharma embraced him. He raised both hands to acknowledge the applause of the crowd.

The spectators in the stadium stood to applaud stupendous feat Sehwag, while their colleagues dressing also gave a standing ovation.

Sehwag then hit some photos more vigorous, a four and six years before finally leaving a tired-looking shot off Kieron Pollard in 47 more. He faced 149 balls and hit 25 fours and seven sixes in his 219.

As he returned to the pavilion, non-striker Rohit Sharma was the first to embrace it before an all West Indies players "after another came to congratulate him on his way back.

Sehwag raised his hands to the spectators and then returned to acknowledge their cheers when he finally left the ground after an innings record.

Sehwag was dropped when on 170 with West Indies captain Darren Sammy losing a nanny.

Except for the "life" offered by Sammy on 38 more, was a vintage Sehwag played his shots in his characteristic swashbuckling way on a belter of a field.

Indeed, it was the same Samundar Singh Chauhan, the curator in Gwalior when Tendulkar scored his 200 not out, which set the stage Holkar Stadium which Sehwag made the highest score in an ODI innings on Thursday.

Ironically too, both the double centuries in the history of ODI were marked in Madhya Pradesh and in a field prepared by the curator himself.

During his record innings, Sehwag, who made his ODI debut in 1999 against Pakistan, also spent 8000 run mark in a total of 8025 runs from 240 matches. He scored 14 hundreds and 37 fifties in ODIs before the match today.

He is the sixth Indian to have scored over 8,000 runs in ODIs after Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, Yuvraj Singh and Mohammed Azharuddin.

Cricket Test, Sehwag scored 22 hundreds, including two triple tons, and 30 and a half centuries. He scored 7980 runs from 92 tests with an average of 52.15 after making his debut in 2001 against South Africa

West Indies sweat on Bravo's fitness for crucial fourth ODI

2011-12-07T22:42:00.000-08:00

West Indies batsman Darren Well done is restoring from the hamstring muscle damage that restricted his innings in the last One-Day Worldwide Friday, but the readers are carrying on to sweating on his conditioning for their 4th activity against Indian here Friday.

The fashionable left-hander, who has been a key player for the Windies on the current trip, was required to stop working harm on 26 while interested in a offering 55-run, third wicket stand with Marlon Samuels (58).

The 22-year-old, the newer sister of all-rounder Dwayne Well done, has surfaced as one of the management of the Western side Indies hitting, and obtained a half-century in the beginning activity in Cuttack last week.

He was superb in the before Check sequence, credit rating two amazing decades in his last four innings.

The Western side Indies path 1-2 in the five-match one-day sequence, after succeeding the last activity in Ahmedabad by 16 operates.

Tour to Australia, a feat for Sachin Tendulkar

2011-12-07T22:41:00.001-08:00

Sachin Tendulkar will embark on his fifth Test tour of Australia today, something that not many would have imagined four years ago. Remember the rousing ovation he got at the Adelaide Oval in 2008, the crowd presuming it was his last Test on Australian soil.

Renowned writer Mike Coward even penned a sentimental piece on his potential farewell. "It is only right that Sachin Tendulkar should play his last Test match in Australia at Adelaide Oval for he has a very special affinity with this city of churches and Chappells and festivals.

"For this was Don Bradman's hometown for 66 years and in 1998 India's little master came here especially to pay homage to the game's greatest batsman on his 90th birthday. "He will be 35 on April 24 (2008) and India is not scheduled to return here for Test matches before 2011-12," he wrote prior to the Adelaide Test. And yet Tendulkar returns to his beloved country for a fifth time, the first Indian to do so.

Romance begins...

Ever since his first tour Down Under as an 18-year-old, Tendulkar has left Australians smitten with his strokeplay. The love affair began when he became the youngest to score a Test century in Australia on his first tour -- an unbeaten 148 at Sydney. After his exquisite Perth ton later on that tour, Merv Hughes cracked open a beer, turned to his captain, Allan Border and said: "This little prick's going to get more runs than you, AB." Border had 9,532 Test runs at the time -- the second highest in the history of the game after Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar. Hughes was on the button.

"I was there to witness those hundreds at Sydney and Perth in 1991-92. I was amazed how he adapted to those conditions so quickly, considering his age. The Perth hundred is still the best I've ever seen. There was prolonged bounce after the third day - a lot of cracks on the wicket. You could literally put a finger inside the crack. When the seam landed on the crack, the ball went wherever it pleased.

It was difficult to anticipate anything. This teenager walked in and showed everyone how to bat," said Dilip Vengsarkar, who previously held the Indian record for four Australia tours (1977-78, 1980-81, 1985-86 and 1991-1992). Vengsarkar was also part of the Indian team that won the 1985 World Championship of Cricket in Australia.

"He's done well everywhere in the world. But there's something about Australia. He likes the ball coming on to the bat. He enjoys those conditions like anything," he added.

'The Best' in Oz

Indeed, he does. In 16 Tests there, he has 1,522 runs at 58.53. Even Sir Vivian Richards (47.56), Brian Lara (41.97) and David Gower (44.48), who played a lot more Tests in Australia, didn't match Tendulkar's feats. In fact, Wally Hammond, Herbert Sutcliffe and VVS Laxman are the only visiting batsmen besides Tendulkar to average in excess of 50 in Australia (minimum qualification: 1,000 Test runs).

In his autobiography 'Standing My Ground', Matthew Hayden wrote that Australians were so much in love with Tendulkar that a special version of his 1998 blade was manufactured at a Brisbane factory. Irrefutably, Tendulkar is an icon in Australia.

In 2003-04, Tendulkar went through the leanest patch of his career. But the double century at SCG that summer was his way to reaffirm his love for Australia, a knock that many felt redeemed his career. "Tendulkar was having a quiet series, with just one 50. Before the Sydney Test, we talked about his batting, which didn't happen very often as he knew his own game inside out.

In Sydney, he decided he was going to keep it very tight; he wouldn't play through cover or square off the front foot because that was where he'd been getting out. Having formulated a plan, he went out and executed it, making 241 not out, his highest Test score (at the time), of which only 53 came on the off side. The word gets done to death, but this was an awesome display of technique and discipline. A month later his wife Anjali (Tendulkar's wife), who'd listen in our conversation, got in touch to say thanks for the chat in Sydney," former India coach John Wright wrote in 'Indian Summers'.

The Tendulkar-Australian love affair reached its pinnacle on the last tour. The boy was too young in 1992 and in 2008 doubts lingered that the man may be too old; it didn't matter to the man and like the boy he also reached Perth having made runs in Sydney -- this time a 154 not out. Tendulkar made an audacious 71 before falling to an unlucky lbw decision. He finished with 493 runs at 70.42; his best ever return from any series.

Help from a friend

Tendulkar had sought help from former India fast bowler Subroto Banerjee on that tour. "He was always a good friend, even before he started playing international cricket. I was playing club cricket in Australia at the time.
He called me and said, 'why don't you join us at the nets and help me out'.

I obliged immediately. I ended up travelling with the team for the entire Test series. The original plan was just to visit him in the nets once. "I did not regret travelling with the team as he played some of his best knocks on that tour.Â If he calls me again, I will be glad to help him out," Banerjee told MiD DAY.

Cummins hopes to be fit for Adelaide Test against India

2011-12-07T22:37:00.001-08:00

From what evil ruled the house of his heel from the Test series in India in bulk, but the sense of the pace teen Pat Cummins said that he had to hope for but that none of the mode of waiting for the time to be fit to give up in the fourth and the last of the rubbermatch at The Oval.

The Bowl is expected to be 18 years old, fasting heel sidelineduntil late January by them unjustly, they took up seven wicketwhen, in the draw could have been done in South Africa inJohannesburg last month.

CA may dismiss the case after getting 'secret report'

2011-12-05T21:50:00.000-08:00

Cricket Australia is set to be rocked by sweeping changes in the Board could be forced to dismiss the same when they recommended a complete overhaul is a "secret report" delivered this Wednesday.

According to a report «Daily Telegraph», «David Crawford, who re-designed the Australian Football League hierarchy, in 1992, we presented a secret report by the CA Board Wednesday recommends sweeping changes. "

"It is understood that the report recommends the 14-man council of elected representatives of the state to replace nine man independent commission."

CA, which held a major overhaul of the management team by roping in the first foreign coach Mickey Arthur in Australia recently, is expected to undergo some changes itself after a new report.

"Each state will be asked to appoint a board member who has no ties state or club and six new participants will then appoint three other independent qualified expert," the newspaper reported.

CA had engaged Crawford and former AFL commissioner Colin Carter to propose administrative changes.

Just elected President of CA Wally Edwards, who played three Tests in the mid-70s, said he would be happy to resign if it helps putting a better system.

"Maybe review of governance, we are getting near, even to see the soon-serving president in the history of cricket in Australia," said Edwards.

"But if you come up with a better system that I would not worry at all. Because I was on board, we had three attempts to examine our governance and none of them got this far," he added.

Edwards said the reform of the set-up in place will also eliminate the chances of bias in decision making.

"We have too many people on board. I do not think Cricket Australia needs 14 directors. To be on the table, you must be at a table in the state. Therefore, what caused your beliefs? Conflicts of interest, all things, "he said.

"So I think we need to change. It is a question now to get this process underway, which we will be the next board meeting, we expect," he added.

Daring Sammy strikes back with a vengeance

2011-12-05T21:41:00.000-08:00

West Indies cricket has always attracted more negative publicity, pay, or from the national team captain Chris Gayle before the long-term exclusion, the board of directors of player revolt.

Mediocre performances in the Caribbean area also shows that West Indies cricket Is indeed a chaotic state. At the top, many people think that as captain Darren Sammy is similar to the well-known camel's back the last straw.

Little utility to help players bat or ball. Although he has produced some impressive spell in the middle of the test match his pace, he is seldom done in the short game format. Therefore, the time and his position in the team all be questioned again.

But on Monday, he smashed an unbeaten 17-ball 41 runs to silence his critics for some time. More importantly, his late charge to help the West Indies the upper hand. Sami Abhimanyu Mithun way, is a pleasure to watch. If the boundary row, he more than disrupt Mithun back in the rhythm, and destroyed his confidence.

Despite being experts and fans are soft targets, Sammy won the respect of his team. "He has done well in tests, and struggling in this format, but he will spring on our performance, he knew before he got the job how difficult his support in the locker room, he wants to return to himself and his ability to coach Ottis Gibson said: "the eve of the third ODI.

"I once said in his past, he went out bat as captain, he should be a little selfish as a hitter, as his score once his team will ultimately benefit."

Maybe knock on Monday "team man" Sammy the way not only to get his act together and is also conducive to the West Indies bat crawling out of a hole.

Finally, a reason to smile to the West Indies

2011-12-05T21:40:00.001-08:00

When Suresh Raina was caught behind the 16th over while chasing India on Monday night, many of the Sardar Patel Gujarat Stadium stands were nearly full started wearing a deserted look.

Not because the local hero Parthiv Patel was fired just before Raina was, but I felt that writing was

the wall. With India reduced to 84 for five while chasing a target of 261, most of them were sure that the game was "over."

Although the verdict has not changed as of the West Indies recorded their first win on tour for 16 runs, which were lucky enough to witness a new gem, the third in succession, Rohit Sharma willow.

As he had starred in India's victories in the first two ODIs, with a classy 72 in Cuttack and an unbeaten 90 in Visakhapatnam, Sharma was well on its way to lead his team to a come from behind famous of victory.

With India reeling at 105 for six, R Ashwin Sharma found a strong ally.

Regal Rohit shines again

His court was a joy to watch late purists, while its interior loft units over mid-off had the Amdavadis on their feet. While Ashwin and Vinay died in quick succession, with Santiago cruise to his third ODI hundred, and India, over 50 runs of the target, the hopes of the crowd rose to ensure his victory that sealed the series.

But that's when disaster struck. With India needing 45 runs from 39 balls, Santiago firmly pushed a mid-range and went into one. And the captain Darren Sammy took to catch them before the ball dropped sharply in the short Sharma stumps to leave the fold.

Mithun hit a few bumps and had lustful hopes alive with Umesh Yadav, but to put in 45 races was too much of a demand for them. And the West Indies was pleased when Ravi Rampaul, who had escaped Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag in successive balls, trapped Mithun lead in the front.

If it were not for the direct impact of Sammy, the West Indies found the game out of hand. And but for the captain of 17 balls 41, the side of the Caribbean have not been able to cross the mark of 250.

Sammy and big hits André Russell uses its long handles with good results as the West Indies plundered 93 runs off the last seven overs, 43 of them in the last two extensions by an unfortunate looking and Aaron Varun Mithun.

Cummins, Watson sidelined again for 2nd examine vs NZ

2011-12-04T23:17:00.001-08:00

James Pattinson's five-wicket take in a powerful success in the series-opening coordinate against New Zealand on the weekend break has removed any need for a hurried recognition for 18-year-old Australia paceman Pat Cummins for the second examine beginning Exclusive in Hobart.

Australia selectors declared the group on Exclusive, maintaining the 11 gamers who mixed to defeat New Zealand by nine wickets on On the.

The only modify to the first examine group is the supplement of allrounder Daniel Religious in location of quick bowler Ben Reducing, who skipped out on the beginning XI for Queensland and then harmed himself enjoying for Qld in an road coordinate against Victoria.

The 18-year-old Cummins was the celebrity of Australia's series-leveling win in Southern African-american in Nov, getting six second-innings wickets and then reaching the earning operates in a gorgeous examine very first. But he harmed his eventually left rearfoot and wasn't regarded for the first examine of the Australia summer several weeks, along with four other frontline gamers.

Pace spearhead Mitchell Jackson will be out for five several weeks after surgery treatment on his eventually left base, while Cummins, Geebet Watson (hamstring) and He Harris (hip) and top-order batsman Level Marsh (back) will all get more a chance to restore from the accidents which required them out of the first examine.

Chief selector Bob Inverarity said Reducing would be sidelined for "some weeks" and Religious had been known as up for the Hobart examine after doing well as an allrounder for Southern Quotes.

Phillip Hughes' beginning position was in risk after creating lots of just 10 and 7 against New Zealand but the ongoing recovery amount time for Marsh and Watson has taken some stress off him.

Australia group physio therapist Alex Kountouris said Cummins, Watson and Marsh were all likely to be available for choice for the first of four assessments against Indian beginning on Dec. 26 at Victoria. Harris will be administered after he dividends to exercising this few times.

After experiencing the soccer tennis ball in the first innings against New Zealand, Pattinson taken aback the New Zealand batsmen in an intense beginning over on On the, when he took three wickets and directly skipped a hat-trick. He completed 5-27.

"James Pattinson's efficiency on very first will offer an excellent increase not only the group as a whole but to those who are new to the group in particular," Inverarity said.

Three gamers quick bowlers Pattinson and Mitchell Starc and beginning batsman Level Warner were on very first the other day, creating it one of the least skilled Australia examine lineups in generations. The go-karting invasion had a mixed 30 examine limits and there was burial plot dilemma about how the children would manage the phase up to examine cricket.

Australia had taken a 132-run first-innings guide after submitting 427 in solution to New Zealand's 295, and Pattinson had the readers in problems in the second innings later on the third day when he eliminated risky operator Brendon McCullum just before stumps.

The 21-year-old paceman then eliminated Martin Guptill, Kane Williams and Ross Taylor in the first over on it all day, and ignored night-watchman Doug Bracewell soon as Quotes bowled New Zealand out for 150 and covered up the coordinate within four times.

Inverarity said Religious was selected to present skipper Erina Clarke more solutions in invasion.

"The stability of a group is always increased by the use of an dynamic allrounder who is in excellent kind," Inverarity said.

Ex-skipper Ough Ponting and wicketkeeper Kaira Haddin seem to have guaranteed their areas, despite complaint returning into summer time several weeks, with excellent hits of 78 and 80, and Clarke obtained his third hundred years in six innings to mark the begin of his first line on Australia earth as leader.

'Fitness test' cleared, Zak looks set for Oz

2011-12-01T23:55:00.000-08:00

The Indian team received a boost for the Australia tour when Zaheer Khan came up with a solid performance to prove his fitness on Thursday. Playing his first competitive game since he broke down at Lord’s, Zaheer has so far bowled 22 overs against Orissa, including 16 on Thursday, and

had a return of four wickets. The game was his fitness test and the verdict was unanimous, that he is ready for Australia.

The left-arm Mumbai pacer started the day with a six-over spell and hastened the end of Orissa's first innings with two wickets. He was required to do duty immediately when Mumbai enforced the follow-on and bowled another six-over spell, three each on either side of lunch.

The only special break he took was at the start of the Orissa second innings, when he missed the first four overs. It was learnt he was having a massage.

It is during the post-lunch session that he bowled the best ball of the day, producing an unplayable, rising delivery from the length to kiss Bipal Samantray’s bat for Wasim Jaffer to take the edge at second slip.

He improved with every spell, gaining in pace and running in quicker. He was most charged up during his third spell. In the four-over spell, when Orissa’s tailenders Laganjit Samal and Basant Mohanty put up a stiff resistance, Zaheer was firing on all cylinders with the experts rating his deliveries between 132 to 135 kph.

On display was his full range of skills. He mostly angled it in to the right-handers from over the wicket. But the big incoming ball, his most feared weapon, came out when Mumbai were struggling against tailenders. Zaheer got it on the spot against Samal, but luckily for the batsman he got an inside edge.

A pleased selector Surendra Bhave left with India physio Ashish Kaushik after Zaheer's third spell, after having a discussion with the bowler during the lunch break.

Former India pacer and Orissa coach, Debasish Mohanty, felt Zaheer was in good shape. “He was bending his back fully in the final spell. He is ready for Australia."

Pietersen pleaded guilty to the charge and as such, under the provisions of the code, the matter was determined by Roshan Mahanama of the Emirates Elite Panel of ICC Match Referees and so there was no requirement for a full hearing.

Zaheer slams Mumbai coach, selector for dropping Agarkar

2011-11-29T23:43:00.000-08:00

India pace ace Zaheer Khan has come to the defence of Mumbai teammate Ajit Agarkar, who left the team in Cuttack after he was not in captain Wasim Jaffer and coach Sulakshan Kulkarni's playing XI plans. Zaheer, who is using the Ranji Trophy to get back into rhythm after an injury lay-off, is part of the playing XI against Orissa in Cuttack.

He came out blazing against chairman of selectors Milind Rege and coach Kulkarni, who was appointed only recently. "I am not the kind of person to say all this, but I just feel that people like Rege and Sulakshan are actually pulling Mumbai cricket back," Zaheer told MiD DAY over the phone from Cuttack at the end of Day One of the four-day tie.

"This is an utter disgrace. I am very disappointed and hurt by the way the whole situation has been handled. It is high time things get sorted out. "A player who has done so much for the country and state; has taken over 300 international wickets and has been consistent performer and a certainty in the team at least deserves better communication and respect. There is no reason to humiliate someone who has done great service to your team," said Zaheer.

Agarkar dropped a bombshell when he left the team. Asked what made him take the decision, he said: "The dressing room would have been uncomfortable. I didn't want any bad vibes. As it is there is a lot of tension in a dressing room. I was obviously disappointed by the way things were done."

Agarkar was told the night before the game that he wouldn't be playing and that Aavishkar Salvi was bowling well. "I was trying to get back to bowling fitness. If they were not going to play me, they should have told me.

Cricketing grounds?

"I wouldn't have travelled. I was with them for two days and no one said a thing. Yesterday, they (referring to captain and coach) told me that Aavishkar was bowling well. I have returned after injury and how can I become a bad bowler after one match?

"I would have gone with a cricketing reason, but these are not cricketing grounds I am sure," said Agarkar.

Is he embarrassed? "I am not embarrassed, I am disappointed. I requested the MCA to let me leave the previous evening. They told me everything will be sorted out. But I had made up my mind," he said.

On what drives him to play first-class cricket, Agarkar (33), stressed: "I think I can make a difference to Mumbai cricket; give something back. I love playing for Mumbai." Meanwhile, Zaheer wants this episode to be a lesson for the men who run Mumbai cricket. "Things have to be handled well. Again, the least you can do is to have better communication and this holds good for other players too.

"People involved should take a lesson out of this," said the left-arm pacer, who will be on the flight to Australia next month, match fitness depending.

Confident Kiwis eye rare win over Aussies

2011-11-29T23:40:00.000-08:00

Captain Ross Taylor said on Wednesday that New Zealand was confident of winning their first Test in Australia for 26 years against a weakened bowling attack at the Gabba this week.

The Black Caps, ranked a lowly eighth and winners of only three of their past 22 Tests, take

on Michael Clarke's Australians in the throes of an injury crisis that has hit their new-ball attack.

The Australians have named three pace bowling newcomers with James Pattinson, Ben Cutting and Mitchell Starc in their most inexperienced Test squad since 1985, when the Kiwis last won a Test across the Tasman.

Taylor senses that New Zealand, for so often second-best in the Trans-Tasman Trophy, have their chance to win only their eighth Test in 51 encounters going back to 1946.

"Every time you play against Australia, you don't need any more motivation with the trans-Tasman rivalry," Taylor said before Thursday's first of two Tests.

"We want to win every game. I wouldn't say we've got a better chance here.

"We're in a good space at the moment. We're confident with the way we've been playing. We need to do the basics well."

Taylor said he still expected a tough examination from Australia despite their inexperienced bowling line-up.

The Black Caps plastered an Australia A attack featuring Pattinson, Cutting and Starc for 890 runs in two innings in a high-scoring draw, with Jesse Ryder, Brendon McCullum and Taylor hitting centuries.

Black Caps coach John Wright believes Australia could finally be vulnerable in Brisbane this week.

Australia have not lost at the Gabba since 1988 and the Kiwis have only won a total of two Tests in Australia, both in 1985, on their way to a series win.

"It's impressive, no doubt about it but we have everything to play for," said Wright, who played in the triumphant Kiwi team in 1985.

"In our changeroom we have some young cricketers who are really looking forward to playing this match.

"We are not daunted by that record, we see it as an opportunity. It will be up to us (to break it)."

Taylor said he would reveal his starting eleven on match morning but predicted a huge future for young all-rounder Doug Bracewell, who took 4-87 and scored an unbeaten 73 against Australia A.

Asked facetiously at his pre-match press conference if he would be playing a spinner on the Gabba pitch given the secrecy surrounding Australia's attack, Taylor replied:"It's pretty hard to drop a guy (Daniel Vettori) who has played 106 Test matches.

"He has a lot of weight in our team. He brings a lot of experience, Daniel. And his batting as well, he's got six Test hundreds.

"He likes playing against Australia and I'm sure he'll be relishing the opportunity after not playing in the warm-up game (against Australia A)."

Ind vs WI: Needed more runs to defend, says Roach

2011-11-29T23:39:00.001-08:00

West Indies pacer Kemar Roach rued his team's failure to set a challenging target for India which could have allowed the visiting bowlers to put pressure on the hosts who managed to sneak away with a one-wicket win in the first ODI here.

After being restricted to 212, the Windies were off to a great start thanks to Roach's quick three-wicket burst, only to lose it by one wicket in the end last night.

"It was a big game. Playing in India is really tough. But we also fought very hard. It's just that last hurdle we could not cross. To give them a good fight on their home ground is a good effort for us. We are a young side and are gelling well," Roach said.

"The aspect of not putting enough runs on the board did not help us. We would have been in a comfort zone by putting a few more runs when it comes to bowling."

Roach hoped that his team would bounce back in the next ODI at Vizag on December 2.

"We are not blaming anyone. We will go back to the dressing room and hope to come back fresh in the next game."

Asked about his own bowling, he said: "It was good to get three wickets. I did my job pretty well. But to win the match is the most important part.

"You have got to adapt to situation as quickly as possible. As I said we would have been better of with a few more runs. On a good pitch, with quick outfield it was just not enough."

Roach was also all praise for his IPL Deccan Chargers teammate Rohit Sharma who set up the Indian chase with a fighting 72 to win the Man of the Match.

"He is a very responsible guy. I know him quite well since we play together for Deccan Chargers. Congrats to him."

Dwayne Bravo expects quick return

2011-11-27T21:52:00.000-08:00

Dwayne Bravo, the West Indies allrounder, has said his ankle injury has healed and he expects to be fit for the Big Bash League in Australia next month. Bravo, who has signed for Sydney Sixers, is also expected to take part in the Caribbean Twenty20 for Trinidad and Tobago.

"My ankle injury has healed and it stood up well during training. Last week it felt very sore but it is now fine and the stiffness is gone," Bravo told CMC. "I will be flying out to Australia for the Big Bash but this time around I will also be available for Trinidad and Tobago in the regional series, as we look to defend our title."

Bravo's career has been blighted by injury in the past few years, since he suffered a serious ankle injury in 2008 which kept him out of the game for eight months. He suffered a big blow this year when his World Cup ended due to a knee injury he sustained in West Indies' first game of the tournament. He returned for the home one-day series against Pakistan but asked for a break after the first two ODIs against India in June to work on his game.

Since then Bravo has turned out for Chennai Super Kings in the Champions League T20 and for Trinidad & Tobago in the Regional Super50 tournament. The matches against Bangladesh A were to be his first first-class matches since the Tests in Sri Lanka last year but his return to the longer format has now been delayed further.

"I am now focussing on strengthening exercises and trying to get in as much practice before I leave for Australia," Bravo said. "I am working towards getting back into the international scene. I have to time my return well as for now I will be taking it easy and gradually intensifying. My recovery has been good so far and I don't want to push it too early."

Junaid is expected to be out of action for around six weeks, which puts him in doubt for the series with England which begins in January.

Abdul Razzaq is also an injury doubt for the series, which begins on 29th November with the Twenty20 match in Dhaka but the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) have announced no further changes to the squads.

2011-11-23T21:10:00.000-08:00

Ex-Pakistan cricket captain Salman Butt and bowler Mohammad Amir have lost their appeals against their sentences for a spot-fixing scam.

The pair were not present at the Court of Appeal in London for the proceedings before the Lord Chief Justice and two other judges.

Butt, 27, was jailed for 30 months and Amir, 19, received a six-month term.

They were sentenced over a plot to bowl deliberate no-balls in a Test match against England.

Bowler Mohammad Asif, 28, and cricket agent Mazhar Majeed were also jailed.

The judges rejected a plea that Butt's sentence was "manifestly excessive" and the argument that Amir should have been given a suspended sentence.

Lord Chief Justice Lord Judge said the corruption had been "carefully prepared" and the cricketers had betrayed their team, their country, their sport and the "followers of the game throughout the world".

If corruption continued then the enjoyment of those who watch cricket would "eventually be destroyed", Lord Judge said.

'Broken man'

Butt's lawyer Ali Bajwa had argued his sentence was "out of proportion to the seriousness of the offence that was committed".

Mr Bajwa described Butt as a broken man in a state of "ruin and disgrace", adding that the very fact of imprisonment "amounted to exceptional punishment".

Amir's lawyer Henry Blaxland argued for a suspended sentence that would allow his immediate release.

Amir would have remained in the UK to carry out any community service, Mr Blaxland added.

Butt was jailed for his role as the "orchestrator" of the plot to bowl deliberate no-balls in the Test at the Lord's cricket ground in London last summer.

Amir was detained for six months in a young offenders institution after admitting bowling two intentional no-balls at Lord's.

The men were arrested after the fourth Test between Pakistan and England in August 2010.

An undercover News of the World reporter had paid Majeed £150,000 for details of the precise timing of no-balls, which were duly delivered as promised.

Such actions can be valuable on the spot-fixing betting market, which involves betting on the finer details of sporting contests.

In February, all three cricketers were banned from playing for five years by the International Cricket Council. They are appealing against the suspensions.

Tendulkar milestone draws more crowd on Day 3 of Mumbai Test

2011-11-23T21:07:00.000-08:00

Wankhede: For two days, the bleak Wankhede crowd witnessed West Indies batsmen making a rare merry but come Day 3 of Mumbai Test, there was a considerable increase in the crowd attendance at the stadium.

Guess any reasons for that? Well the inevitable one of Sachin Tendulkar’s 100th ton. With Windies finishing Day 2 at 575 for 9, it was a certainty that India would be playing the majority of Day 3 and a possibility of Sachin batting.

And now with the visitors bundled out, crowds were pouring in to see India bat or rather see Sachin bat.

Cricket expert Sanjay Manjrekar had also noticed the phenomenon and tweeted about it.

Sanjay tweeted: ‘The Tendulkar magnet has pulled a few people to the wankhede stadium..so happy to see that :)’

People following the game on the web also tweeted on the Wankhede crowd.

‘Finally some atmosphere at Wankhede. The stands have come to life: long queues, waving flags. #IndvsWI #Sachin’, tweeted a fan while another one said, ‘Unimagineble long queues outside the wankhede’.

West Indies v India: 3rd Test – First session summary

2011-11-22T03:04:00.000-08:00

West Indies had a very good first session against India on day one of the third Test at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai in India on Tuesday, November 22, 2011.

The tourists scored 80 runs without losing any wicket in the first session, as openers Kraigg Brathwaite and Adrian Barath remained unbeaten on 35 and 37 respectively.

Although India have already won the three match series by 2-0, they will be hoping a clean sweep by winning the final Test as well.

However, the hosts would have liked to bat first on a flat batting pitch in Mumbai, but the opposition skipper Darren Sammy won the toss and had no hesitation in mind to bat.

The Windies openers had earlier been troubled by Umesh Yadav in the first couple of matches, but the pacer was rested for today’s game. He was replaced by speedster Varun Aaron, who is making his debut in the longest version of the game.

Apart from that, the Indian side also made one batting change, as Yuvraj Singh was dropped from the side. He was replaced by promising young batsman Virat Kohli, who will be eying to make most of the opportunity given by the selectors.

Yuvraj was not only dropped from the playing eleven, but was omitted from the squad for the final Test.

Talented right-handed batsman Rohit Sharma was named in the squad in place of Yuvraj, but was not given a chance to prove his mettle today.

On the other hand, the Caribbean Kings also made a couple of changes for today, bringing in Ravi Rampaul in place of Kemar Roach.

The team made one forced change as well, as veteran batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul was unable to make it to the playing eleven due to an injury. His absence provided a chance to Kieran Powell, who was dropped from the side after failing to perform in the opening Test of the series.

The West Indian openers will like to carry onto the start they have got to this innings in order to pressurise the opposition. The team’s real challenge will be to face the spinners, who have caused a lot of problems in the series.

Shahid Afridi says he batted according to Misbah-ul-Haq’s instructions

2011-11-22T02:46:00.000-08:00

Star all-rounder Shahid Afridi of Pakistan said that he played according to instructions from skipper Misbah-ul-Haq in the fourth One Day International (ODI) series of five matches at Sharjah Cricket Stadium in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on Sunday, November 20, 2011.

The men in green were in trouble at one stage of their innings, losing five wickets for just 71 runs on the table.

This was the time when skipper Misbah joined Afridi to the crease and the pair seemed to steady the ship.

Unfortunately, the latter misjudged a run and had to take a walk back disconsolately to the pavilion after being run-out for the second straight game in the series.

Because of this, Afridi came under immense pressure, as he had greater responsibility on his shoulders now.

Things kept getting bad for the home team, as wicketkeeper Sarfraz Ahmed was also dismissed after scoring only 10 runs.

At this stage, Pakistan had 120 runs on the board with seven wickets down and the tail was exposed.

However, Misbah sent a message to the veteran all-rounder in the late innings to beat up and take the score past 200.

According to Afridi, "I got a message from my captain that I should continue to play the whole [50] overs. He informed that if you can score around 225 runs it will be very good on this field. I did my best to my and Saeed Ajmal end also did a great job. "

Pakistan will not be able to reach 200 without knocking combat by Ajmal, who contributed 20 runs to the total. He was involved in a solid 61-run stand for the eighth wicket with Afridi, who turned out to be the turning point of the game.

The Pathan made the most aggressive of Ajmal resistance from the other end and finished with a superb innings of 75 runs.

Commenting on his match winning knock , the 31 years old added, "I know there are a lot of expectations from me and I understand how my bating could help my team. I'm acting exactly in line with demand, as I did my return with a purpose and a goal. "

Pakistan have unassailable lead 3-1 in the ODI series, and will try to win the final in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday, November 23.

Jayawardene to miss fifth ODI

2011-11-22T02:30:00.000-08:00

The 34-year-old batter hit a half century in his team 26-run defeat in the fourth match in Sharjah on Sunday, but played in some discomfort after injuring his knee.

Tennekoon said Jayawardene went home to get in shape before next month's tour of South Africa.

"After the game Sunday Mahel injury got worse so he went home"

Tennekoon told AFP. "Chamara Silva was brought in as cover."

Pakistan has an unassailable 3-1 lead in the one-day series with the fifth and final game to be played on Wednesday.

The 31-year old Silva has played 11 tests and 74 one-day internationals for Sri Lanka.

Tennekoon Tillakaratne Dilshan said the captain was fine after hurting left thumb and will worsen if not available to play in the Twenty20 match between two teams on Friday.

"Dilshan is fine and will play in a fifth day," said team manager.

Pakistan has won the first match by eight wickets in Sri Lanka first leveled the series with a 25-run victory in the second. Pakistan has won the third match by 21 runs.

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq said his team will put everything in the final match.

"We have to go all-out and win the last game like that and finish the series up," said Misbah, whose team will be the fifth (International Cricket Council) ICC one day rankings if they win the series 4 -1.

Vinod Kambli casts world cup 'match-fixing aspersion' on Azharuddin?

2011-11-18T02:45:00.000-08:00

Former cricketer Vinod Kambli raised suspicions on the World Cup semi-finals in 1996 between India and Sri Lanka and said: "something wrong" found in the game, a claim that was sharp criticism by Sourav Ganguly.

Kambli, who scored 1084 runs in 17 tests and 2477 104 runs in ODIs for India, said he was suspicious of then Captain Mohammed Azharuddin's decision to field first in the semi-final which eventually was awarded to Sri Lanka due to crowd trouble.

However, Ganguly said only because India second won in the game does not mean that the match was fixed and Kambli should back up his claims with solid proof, rather than dredge a controversy.

Kambli claims that his suspicion arose thanks to Mohammed Azharuddin's decision to field first, although it has been decided unanimously that the team would bat after winning the toss.

"I never shall forget the 1996 match because my career ended after this and I was dropped from the team. I was stunned by India's decision to field, "said Kambli while participating in a debate of TC channel on the ex-head of the ICC anti-corruption statement Paul Condon that drive in the 1990s and thereafter all leading Cricket countries were involved in fixing matches.

"I was standing on one side and on the other end fellow batsman was telling me that we chase the target. However, shortly after they quickly got one by one. I don't know what happened.

"Something was definitely wrong. However, I was not given the opportunity to speak and was abandoned shortly after. Our team manager at that time Ajit vipul Wadekar was aware of everything. He had also written an article that Vinod Kambli had been made a scapegoat, "he said.

Kambli said he was shocked when it came to know that they have to field when all were prepared mentally to fight.

"We played well during the World Cup and also defeated the likes of West Indies and Pakistan to reach the semifinals. Our openers were all set to bat, however, in the nick of time, we learned that we had to field. I got a huge shock after learning this, "he said.

"I cried because I thought that I was robbed of a chance to do it for my country. The entire team hugged me. Cried most of us, he recalled. It was not just Tendulkar and dream of other cricket players to win the Cup, but also my ", he added.

However, the former India skipper Ganguly was critical of Kambli and asked why he took 15 years to raise the issue.

"This is a great statement. He should come out with a try. I want to know why it took 15 years to talk about it. If he has evidence to come out with it. Just because India beaten in the semi-finals and second lost the match, does not mean that has been set, "Ganguly told a television channel.

Learn from mistakes - Pakistan

2011-11-18T02:33:00.000-08:00

Pakistan captain Misbah-ul Haq hopes his team can learn from its mistakes and show improvement in the third international day against Sri Lanka on Friday.

Pakistan won the first of five games by eight wickets last week, but allowed Sri Lanka to level the series with a 25-run victory in the second, on Monday.

Misbah said his team made mistakes in all three departments. "We discussed about the errors made in the last game," he said. "We dropped a catch, then gave away an extra 17 runs and lost the early wicket and batting so we need to overcome those mistakes if we want to win the next match."

Sri Lanka posted a challenging 235-7 on the back of Upal Tharanga 77 and Mahela Jayawardene's return to form 50 before restricting Pakistan to 210.

Misbah Concordat of Sri Lanka, which scored three run-outs in Pakistan's innings, were ahead in the field. "They certainly have an advantage in fielding and that is where we must take them because they made a good run-out of Abdul Razzaq and Shahid Afridi," said Misbah.

Pakistan are likely to bring in paceman Sohail Tanvir in place of Razzaq.

Sri Lanka were forced to convene the left-arm paceman Chanaka Welegedara from Colombo after Suranga Lakmal broken with an ankle injury and was ruled out of the remaining matches.

Sri Lankan Captain Tillakaratne Dilshan said that his team is determined to carry the momentum from Monday. "We played some good Cricket and can take a lot of positives in Friday's game, because this is an important game for both teams, as they can take the lead in the series," said Dilshan, who has yet to win a series by Captain appointed in May.

Dilshan said that he enjoyed support from fans in Sri Lanka which came in large numbers in the first two matches. "It's nice to see so many Sinhalese raise between a stop and we feel the noise," said Dilshan. "We hope that more people come on Friday, which is a holiday here, gives encouragement."

The remaining matches will be played Sharjah (20 November) and Abu Dhabi (November 23). Both teams will play a Twenty20 international in Abu Dhabi on November 25.

Cricket-West Indies bundled out for 153 in First innings

2011-11-15T23:12:00.000-08:00

Resuming their first innings on the overnight score of 34 for two wickets, the tourists, trailing 1-0 in the three match series, offered little resistance as India's bowlers ran riot to sink them in just 140 minutes on the 3rd day.

India, declared their first innings on 631 for seven, holding a lead of 478 runs and decided to enforce the follow-on against visitors.

Left-arm spinner Pragyan Ojha has collected four wickets while paceman Umesh Yadav and off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin chipped in with three and two respectively.

The batsmen visit lasted just 48 overs in their first innings with India's bowlers extracting considerable spin and bounce from the runway.

Yadav took the wickets of Darren Bravo (30) and Marlon Samuels (25)-the only batsmen to offer some resistance-in the morning, clean bowling of both.

Ashwin, who married a day prior to the beginning of the second test, picked up the prized wicket of Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

West Indies Captain Darren Sammy (18) went on the counterattack and hit two fours and a six during his straight ball knocking 14. However, he cut to Mahendra Singh Dhoni Ojha behind the stumps immediately after hitting the six.

The teams will play the third and final test in Mumbai from 22 Nov.
