Zaheer Khan and Sreesanth out of WI Test series

The Indian spearhead Zaheer Khan has been ruled out of the WI Test series. This is a big blow for India as already the team looks weak without the first choice players. Zaheer Khan has been ruled out with an ankle injury while Sreesanth has been ruled out because of elbow injury.

This is mainly due to the impact of the IPL. If this situation continues there is a possibility of the teams loosing its star players very soon in the form of early retirement. Either IPL should be held once in two years or the International schedule should not be so tight making the players more injury prone. BCCI it is time to act and take some smart decisions.

Sachin first man to reach 2000 runs in World Cup

Sachin Tendulkar the Master Blaster of Cricket has again achieved yet another record. He becomes the first man in the history of cricket to reach 2000 runs in World Cup. Sachin reached this feat by scoring 3 consecutive boundaries. Sachin made a quick fire 27 of 22 balls before being caught on the boundary ropes. Pieter Seelaar the bowler was extremely delighted to get Sachin's wicket. India beat Netherland and with this win they are looking in good form and will surely reach the quaterfinals.


Sachin playing his 6th World Cup has totally played 40 matches and scored more than 2000 runs. Sachin first entered in to this arena in 1992 World cup from then on there is no one stopping this little master. Ponting is the only player behind Sachin to have played 42 matches and scored 1,577 runs.

BCCI snubs Dhoni

India won the practice match against Australia but they lacked the intensity on the field and especially the running between the wickets was horrible. During the post match conference Dhoni said that it was tough for the players to prepare themselves mentally when they knew it was a warm up game, especially with the amount of cricket being played.

BCCI was furious about Dhoni's comment and told that BCCI is not forcing any player to play IPL or Champions League. BCCI spokesman also said that if any one is feeling fatigue they should just inform the team management and rest for that game and not make such loose comments.

Suresh Raina is Mr Dependable

Suresh Raina has become the prolific run scorer and his consistency makes him one of the best players from the younger generation. The special thing about Raina is his daring act of playing his natural game which is attacking the bowler and when it pays off the opposition team are clueless. Suresh Raina can also be called as a big match guy since during all the crunch games he delivers the goods.

Suresh Raina looks cool and composed even during tensed situation that makes him even more special. He is a brilliant fielder and with the addition of this IPL he has improved his bowling immensely and this makes him as a good utility all rounder in the near future. Well actually it is too early to call him Mr Dependable but if he continues his good run for the future he will surely be regarded as one of the Legends in the Indian Cricket history.

Airtel and Sahara bid for India team sponsor

BCCI invited four sponsors to bid for Team India. Well but only two of them are now in the race for Indian team sponsor. Airtel and Sahara are in the fray for this which means either Indian team will get new sponsors in the form of Airtel or Sahara will renew their contract for the next three years.

BCCI feels that the decline in interest is mainly because of the IPL and more sponsors are ready to invest their money only in the lucrative IPL.BCCI will announce the winner of the bid on Monday after the marketing committee meet

T20 World Cup Australia vs Bangladesh

Australia are playing so badly that they could have an early exit from this World Cup. Bangladesh spinners are giving them a taste of hell.Australia have lost all there important players. Right now Australia are 82/6 in 15 overs. Clarke won th toss and decided to bat first. David Warner and Clarke the captain himself scored 16 runs each. all the other top order batsman scored in single digit.

The last recognized pair is at the crease and their hopes are mainly on Hussey who is still at the crease.He is batting with 18 runs of 15 balls. This match could end up in favor of Bangladesh. This is my prediction as of now we have to wait and see what really happens.If that happens then it could be an exit for Australia or Pakistan from Super Eight. Lets see what happens.

Update : Eventually I was wrong since Australia proved why they are a champions side. They wrapped things quite easily and won the match by 27 runs.


Match Summary :

Hussey Man of the Match.

Australia 141/7 (20/20 ov)

Bangladesh 114 (18.4/20 ov)

Australia won the match by 27 runs

IPL is turning the heat even on BCCI

Indian Premier League (IPL) is turning the heat on BCCI. IPL is getting so big these days players are more inclined to their county teams instead of national assignments.Lalit Modi told that these kind of comments are baseless and should be totally avoided. He says that there are so many positives from the game since more more youngsters are exposed to International arena and they get a National side nod if they really perform well at this level.

Ratnakar Shetty on the other side feels that players are more focused on these cash rich tournaments and this is not good for the national side.Ratnakar Shetty also questioned the attitude of players since one of the senior players had told that their was not much feeling in the dressing room after India's early exit from Champions Trophy.Has IPL really turned the players attitude towards national assignments?Share your thoughts.

Donald about Sreesanth and his habits

Allan Donald has opened about his views on Sreesnath.Donald the coach at Warwickshire, the county club where Sreesanth played his cricket this summer.Allan Donald made it very clear that if Sreesanth had any ideas of playing for India for a long time then first he should change is habits.Donald also revealed that it was he who recommended Sreesanth's name to the management so that he would compensate for the absence of Brett Lee and Morkel who had gone for national duty.Donald also said that Sreesanth has the talent to play at the highest level but he has to nurture himself and control his emotions. I feel Sreesanth will surely find it difficult to do since Sreesansth is a excited character by nature.

Donald also revealed the technical flaw that is with Sresanth in his bowling action.While bowling is front arm comes to fast which means he cannot the swing with the new ball. This technical glitch should be corrected by Sreesanth so that he can become more deadly.

Allan Donald says legalise ball tampering

Allan Donald one of my all time favorite fast bowler from South Africa has asked the ICC to "legalise ball tampering".He has also added that the ICC committee would kick him for making such a comment but he said that he is forced to make such a comment since the pitches these days are batsman friendly leaving the bowlers with nothing to play for.

Donald other point of argument that the battle between th bat and ball should be ven,but the present scenario is too much batsman friendly.So he asked the ICC either the to make ball tampering legal are allow bowlers to make balls.Share your views about this comment of Allan Donald

Sachin Tendulkar childhood Cricket days

Sachin Tendulkar is the GOD of the Indian Cricket.I would like to share one famous incident that turned Sachin's life.Sachin's mentor Achrekar asked Sachin to concentrate on his batting,but Sachin was more interested to become a fast bowler.Then slowly Sachin realized that talent in his batting but even then he used to loose concentration.Achrekar coach of Sachin used to keep a coin on Sachin's stumps and will give a open statement to the bowlers that if they get the wicket of Sachin the coin belongs to them,but if no one claims Sachin's wicket in the whole net session then Sachin will have the coin.

Sachin has got 13 coins till now and he claims that is the best gift and the most treasured one in his life.I was really fascinated to know about this information.Hope you feel the same.If you know any other rare information about Sachin please share it.Thanks in advance.
