SACHIN TENDULKAR:Now IAF OFFICER....

Once again Sachin Tendulkar is going to fly high enough over our mind.But the difference is ,this time he is not in the cricket ground.Indian AIR Headquarters have made decision and almost finalized to make the 'Little Master' honorary Group Captain of Indian Air Force.It is for the first time that such a great honor is given to a cricket person. Who other is eligible for it apart from our Little Master who is having a fantastic cricket carrier of 20 years*. There had been a great debate among the officers that what rank they will give to this cricket legend.Squadron Leader and Wing Commander will be too low for our master.The Indian Air...

ASIA CUP FOR INDIA....

The under-fire Indian seamers gave India a truimphing win over Srilanka in the Asia Cup Final .Building a decent target of 269 Indian bowlers done their job well under the lights.It was after some time that Inidan pacers are getting into the real action.All the three pacers.Zaheer,Nehra and Praveen Kumar bowled well with accurate line and length and they were rewrded for what they have done.They also got the movement in both directions and also extra bounce which made it hard for the Srilankan batsmen to play.Inida is winning this Asia cup after 15 years.The last time they won was in 1995 in Sharjah.Any way three cheers to the Inidan cricket...

ASIA CUP FINAL

Once again India team spoiled a great opportunity to score a huge total in the Asia-Cup Final.Atleast India have scored 25 runs shorter than they needed.A bow to the Srilankan bowlers as they conceeded only 55 runs in the last 10 overs and also they didn't even gave away a single boundary in the last 5 overs which was India's batting power-play. After struggling in the end overs Indian team have managed to score 268/6 in 50 overs.Without Sehwag,Gambhir and Karthik opened the Indian innings.Even though there havn't any big partnership betwen them Karthik managed to score a well directed 66 runs which was more meaningful in the Indian innings.Dhoni...

Can India do it in 15 years????

In Dambulla India is looking to have an Asia Cup in their name after 15 years.India may be a superb or capable team these days ,but the unfortunate part is that they were not able to lift Asia Cup since 1995 inSharjah.And also the big Threat to the Indian team is that it is also another multi-international tournament and its final is to going to be played ion Thursday;ie;24-th June. The worst thing is that it was the team of Srilanka that was reasonable for India's exit from the last four-tournaments,including 3 multi-international tournament final and the last from the T-20 World Cup.It was not an excuse for Dhoni that the last game they lost to Srilanka was because of the major players wre rested .India were at once 189/1 and they collapsed to 207 and especially saying they collapsed before...

India v/s Pakistan

Even though all around us is about World Cup football and NBA Finals,it doesn't need much description .Ya, I'm talking about the same India v/s Pakistan in the Asia Cup cricket tournament.I'm sure it will be exciting and thrilling as usual. Like Kobe Bryant who one-handedly gave LA Lakers their 16-th NBA Finals trophy There is no one in Indian cricket team who can give India a terrific victory over Pakistan.If team India has to win this match India has to play this game as a 'Team'.Only such effort can give India a ticket to the Asia Cup Finals.On the other hand Pakistan is trying to have a new face under the captaincy of a much experienced...

BANGLADESH AS USUAL....

It was like the same story that was repeating again and again.The same story of carelessness and missed chances.Bangladesh only the so called "batsmen" was guilty for failing to convert a good start which was once a time 81/1 in just 13.1 overs....But there after the story went out of control and the wole team suddenly collapsed to 167 .The man who done all this was the part time off-spinner Virender Sehwag who found his life-time best career figures of 4 for 6 runs in 2.5 overs. The only worthwhile Partnership in the Bangladesh's innings was by Mahmudullah (23) and Mushfiqur Rehman (30) of 55 runs in the middle.Bangladesh's captain Shakib Al Hasan opted for batting first after winning the toss.The openers gave them a flying start as Tamim Iqbal(22) and Imran Kayes(37) used the powerplay...

ATLAST INDIA WON....

I t looked like an impossible task for the Indian Cricket team and that too to defeat a team like Zimbabwe; as they hadn't any against them in the Tri-series.But they proved in the two T-20 matches against Zimbabwe that they are no more underdogs. In the first T-20 Indian captain Suresh Raina opted for fielding first.It was quite a simple total for a team like India. When the bowling department mainly focused on the line and length,Zimbabwe batsmen found it hard to score runs and they was able to put only 112 runs in their score board.In bowling Vinay Kumar(3/24) Praghyan Ojha(2/11) and Ravindra Jadeja(2/21) showed their responsibilities.But...

A WISE MOVE????

At last the selectors have agreed that it is high time now and they have to stop experimenting and start to concentrate on the players now.Only Yuvraj's exclusion from the team was the surprising one.But it is also a clear cut message to the players that no one can retain their position if they didn't played well,can even be a well established "star"..... Krishnamachari Srikanth and his co-selectors declared the team India for the Asia Cup in Srilanka with lots promising players.Sachin Tendulkar was opted out and Yuvraj was excluded from the team.Apart from this no other surprises.With the vision of World Cup 2011 Indian selectors are now trying to send the best team to the Asia Cup .

Team India received their second mauling in a week as they have been defeated by Zimbabwe for the second time in the Tri-series.This time a more convincing win for Zimbabwe with a bonus point....
