Dhoni fought- Only Dhoni fought on an "England's day"....

    Thanks to Dhoni, after a long time. Only Dhoni had the guts to take the English bowling attack - only Dhoni. Rest all were mere spectators including the master blaster-Sachin Tendulkar and Mr.Perfect-Rahul Dravid. English bowlers lumped the Indian batsmen but Dhoni held the fight to bring India to a decent score of 224. When the English fast bowlers especially Stuart Broad and TIm Bresnan shared most of the wickets India were 111 for 7 at one time. It was Dhoni's and Praveen Kumars heart to counter attack the England bowlers made all the difference. And atlast....    Sehwag-thought of as the savior even didn't get...

Will Sehwag be the saviour....

   If India have to retain their number 1 ranking in the test cricket, they have to win atleast one test in the remaining two and not only that but also should have a draw in other one. India who got their crushing defeats at Lord's and Trent bridge will definitely have to climb a mountain-uphill task to retain their prime position. India haven't lost three tests in a series since their defeat 3-0 ijn Australia during 1999-2000. While on the other side England could easily seize their number one spot if they could have a draw in  the remaining two. England's supremacy in this series can be easily depicted from the way in which the first two tests were bagged by them. I should have to say that England seized their victory from both the tricky positio...

The Fortune could swung to either side....

The mighty come back....     It could be much earlier, to dodge England batting order. But soon after lunch Indian, bowlers changed their plans, what they have done to England top order batsmen. Indian seamers pitched it up and seamed it away from the English batsmen till tea; got the result for it plumbing England to 124/8. But after tea, they inexplicably abandoned plans, they resorted to shorter length with wider balls, this gave Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann to free their arms and scored around seven runs per over that resulted them to a decent score of 221 runs in their first innings.   At the same time, Indian skipper...

India - To regain their aura....

  It was always like this. Having lost in the first test match at Lords, in 2011 also the same conditions prevail. Nine years ago, in 2002, Indian team under their most unperturbed captain lost the first test match at Lords. The arrogant people met him at the street told him that they are returning to home. Then Dada replied "Why so soon? Stick on we are going to level the series...." and Dada kept his words probably more than that. India won the third and the fifth test and sealed the series. Now Lords 2011 is lost, England are more stronger than then. On the other side India will loose their bowling spearhead, Zaheer Khan.    But now, it is already late in this series. Team India is on the verge of extinction from the eminent position of the ladder; if they loss one more....

India sunken in Anderson's fifer....

  A win in the first test match for India was improbable at the beginning of the last day of the test, yet a draw would  have been an incredible result. And for that credible result, Indian batsmen needed a special effort. The key to this was overnight not-out batsmen VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid. I thought they will do it as both were tamed under such conditions and are capable of doing so. But both these giants fell before the leader of the English attack James Anderson in a well similar manner. For Anderson it was rising from ashes as he hadn't done anything in the first innings.   Just look at the wickets Anderson claimed in...

The WALL....

      Whether it may be the plentiful turning or the unpredictable bounce, Rahul Dravid will always be there for  team India- that is why he is called "The Wall" of Indian cricket. His 32nd hundred was a resounding reminder of his value in the Indian cricket team. Also Rahu Dravid's ton gave West Indies an exacting target of 326 runs in the first test. At the end of third day West Indies are 131/3 still they have to score 195 runs to reach the target. The Great Indian Wall....        All the credits should be given to Rahul Dravid fro his slow and steady innings. Darren Sammy will...

While on the other end Shaun Marsh in his own style....Both of them really "ruined" Bangalore Royal Challengers keeping Punjab Kings XI still in the hunt. Today Punjab Kings XI thrashed Bangalore Royal Challengers  by 111 runs. Gilly de DHAMAAL....      It was not Christopher Gayle or Paul Valthaty who cracked Darmasala sky as we all hoped.

Sehwag-The One Man Army.

   An incredible century by Delhi Daredevils captain Virendar Sehwag helped them to have a win over Deccan Chargers by four wickets with one over to spare and kept them alive in the hunt. Deccan's opening bowlers Dale Steyn and Ishant Sharma fired early in the Daredevil's innings and reduced them to 25 runs for three wickets. But Sehwag was not in a mood to surrender before them as he freed his arms in the sixth over of the innings. In that over of the debutant Ishan Malhotra he scored  23 runs and kept the match alive. In the tenth over Deccan got a very good chance to come back to the match but Ankit Sharma drooped Sehwag's catch...

Ganguly will join the Pune team ahead of their match against Mumbai Indians at Wankhade stadium on May-4 as the vice captain of the team.    Pune Warriors are now at the bottom of the table as now they are struggling with six consecutive loses after their first two victories at the initial stage of this season.

And that too in my home team Kerala Kochi Tuskers (KTK).Srilankan call back to their players before May 5 paved the way in Dada's favour.I am not sure it's a grape vine or not, but you can truly believe that this news is directly from the KTK desk.But the choice on Sourav Ganguly will depend more on the Mahela Jayawardena's availability to the team.On the other hand BCCI is trying their best to take back their words by Srilankan Cricket Association as most of the funds to the Srilankan cricket Association...

   Now you can't throw away Paul Valthaty- because his is now that person who turns everything into Gold that he touches.In yesterday's match against the Deccan Chargers Valthaty once again bought his team-Punjab King's  XI the victory but now with his all- round performance.As Deccan Chargers started off their innings quite well as Sangakkara and Shikhar Dawan put up a nice 75 runs partnership for the second wicket,Deccan's highest wicket partnership for any wicket in this season of IPL-4.But after this wicket all went wrong to Deccan as they were very much surprised by Valthaty's split finger slow balls.At that time Deccan Chargers...

Paul Valthaty blists.....

     Paul Valthaty-a name so far unheard in the IPL.But today onwards his name will also be there in the top players list.Chasing a massive score of 180 runs in the ninth match of IPL-4 KXIP captain Adam ilchrist and Paul Vathaty gave them a flier as both of them swung their bat all over the ground.It was an all out attack from the Kings Xi openers.In bowling also Praveen Kumar of Kings XI gave them a flying start as he got the wicket of Srikanth Anirudh in the very first ball itself.Also he got the wicket of Suresh Raina in the same over.Definitely a dreamy start for Kings XI.      Earlier Punjab captain Adam Gilchrist won the toss and elected to bowl whose decision was soon well supported by their bowle...

                I think Ricky Ponting is one of the luckiest player in the cricket world.That is why he was able to quit the world cup career with a fine and well remembered century in the Quarter-Final against India at Motera stadium in Ahmedabad. Of course Ricky Ponting had a terrific century  which geared them into a decent score of 260  and in return India started chasing the target with Sachin Tendulkar leading from the front with a fine half century.But it was all done by the imperous Yuvraj  with an awesome innings and led India to a splendid semi final against Pakistan on next Wednesday...

GO GREEN ????

In our day-to-day life we would be very familiar with the word "GO GREEN".Also nowadays many would be urging us to spread this word.But referring to the Boxing Day test against South Africa Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni would prefer more of not having any greenness.I think this would help team India tomorrow at Durban where the second test match will begin.With the first test itself it became to the light that Indian batsmen are still inefficient against the bouncing and seaming ball ( even though they batted well in the second innings ).But the truth is that Proteas captain Graeme Smith is looking for this weakness of the Indian batsmen.Also it made clear from the words of Hashim Amla "I am not sure how the wicket is going to play, but on a good day, when the wicket s flat, it is fantastic...

Two days before when kohli was out in the last ball against the mumbai indians there was Rahul Dravid to pat on his back.

Even though the Indian bowlers had done well,the Indian batsmen were well short of their basics even.Look at the Indian team batting line-up..Sehwag Kathik,Raina,Rohit Sharma,Yuvraj,Dhoni....these are the batsmen who are top in the world itself....even then....they combined-ly couldn't score 100 runs.The more pathetic condotion is that only two of them was able to score double figures.
