JAI VEERU....

On 16-th August indian team celebrated their freedom in Srilanka by wining the second ODI against Srilanka with a thrilling six wicket win.Even though Sehwag was denied the chance for a century Srilanka was not able to restrict India from getting the bonus point.Suraj Randiv who bowled a delibrate no ball in the last ball also played a very damn spoilspot in th game.After SLC said sory Sehwag for such an action from their player's part but it was too disappointing not only for ehwag but also for the Indian cricket team.

This time also Indian captain Dhoni didn't won the toss.ButIndia got a very nice start when Praveen kumar bowled Upul Tharanaga in the very first ball of the innings.Soon they lost their econd wicket also.Dilshan tied hard to re-build the innings from the position of 45/2 with a brisk 45 of 63 balls.But then none o Srilankan batsmen could do the job before the disciplined Indian bowlers.All the Indian bowlers bowled well they got their reward too.Ojha as the most succesful among them claiming three wicket for just thirty six runs.PraveenKumar Ishant Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja took two wickets each and the rest one wicket by Ashish Nehra.Finally they were bowled for 170runs.
In reply India struggled a they lost thre quick wickets in just 11 balls scoring only 2 runs.Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli went for duck Sehwag had a very cautious start as he got the first boundary in the sixth over only.Later he changed the gear the to fifth and smashed Srilankan bowler all around the ground.It was quite uneven to see Sehwag aiting for the loose balls to be bowled.With three wickets down Suresh Raina and Dhoni gave a good support to Sehwag.Raina scored 21 runs and Dhoni was unbeaten on 28.To the finish it seemed Sehwag was in a little bit hurry as he go for the sixes.hwn Sehwag as 99 India needed 5 runs to win.But then Srilanka conceded a simple four runs as bye.Then Randiv bowled a deliberate no ball to deny Sehwag's century but they didn't stop India from winning the bonus point....

DISAPPOINTING....

It was very disguising and disappointing for me as I saw the massive 200-run defeat by the Indian cricket Team in Srilanka.What the Indian team have done yesterday???The team first scored a total of 288 runs and the "world no:2" Indian team couldn't score even half of it???I should say that Indian team doesn't deserve that No:2 spot now.
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.

Now I'm sure that if this is their performance in future in this tournament' surely they can give their second spot to Newzland or Srilanka...

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 who himself had the batting promotion scored 38 runs .Once again Rohit Sharma(41) was searching for his partner but could not find any.Both Dhoni and Rohit was out in the eager of increasing the run-rate.In the end Ravindra Jadeja (27*) and Harbhajan Singh(7*) could not do much as they have been tied by some of the good bowling from the Srilankan pacers.
Now Seilanka need 269 runs to win this Asia-Cup.A nd to defend that Indian bowlers has to spare some good bowling and fielding figures as chasing the score would not do any harm to batsmen in the lights....

A TEST FOR YOUNGSTERS....

Young Indian Cricket Team is now having one of their great "test".I'm not saying about the test match but a real test .A test to show who all are eligible for a place in India Cricket team in future.A young Indian team lead by Suresh Raina are now in Zimbabwe in a Tri-series.Totally a young and a new Indian cricket team.Not only India but also Srilanka is also trying with a new team.
In their first match against Zimbabwe ,India had a disappointing lose even after scoring 285 runs.Rohit Sharma(110) and Jadeja(61*) helped the Indian team who struggled in the earlier part of the game.Then in reply with three bowling debutantes India bowling doesn't created trouble to the Zimbabweans in part of the game.ll the Indian bowlers were below average as Zimbabwe moved to a 7-wicket victory;their highest against India.
But in their second match against Srilanka they were all refreshed.Again winning the toss Suresh Raina elected to field first.Srilankan's find it hard to score runs on a dead slow pitch and also this time Indian pacers bowled with a target.They could score only 242 runs in 50 overs.In reply even though the Indian openers tried to reach pavilion as fast as possible then came Rohit Sharma(101*) and Kohli(82) brought India toa 7-wicket victory ;more often a much needed one....
Rohit Sharma has scored two back-to-back tons which really showed his outstanding talent.In both the matches Rohit Sharma was there to help the Indian team and scored his first ODI century in his 44-th match and again in his 45-th match....

INDIA FLOP....

Thanks to Rohit Sharma for making India's loss in a decent manner.While I was watching India's batting I was afraid that India could make another world record of lowest score in T-20 international.Indian batting line-up were struggling at 32-5.Oh sorry,not struggling they deserve it as any "INDIAN STARS" shown their responsibility to stay in the crease.Every one was competing among themselves to reach the pavilion as fast as possible.I wonder is there any cash prize for "who reach the pavilion first and fast".
Earlier winning the toss Indian captain selected fielding first.But the Aussie batsmen showed it was absolutely wrong as David Warner(72) and Shane Watson(54) struck the Indian bowlers with no mercy.Even though rest of the batsmen couldn't do much it was enough for them-a huge total of 184/5.In reply as I said it was also all....Only Rohit Sharma(79*) and Harbhajan Singh(13) could cross the double figures.Dirk Nannes and Mitchell Jhonson flooded the Indian batting with three wickets each.

DADAGIRI-In it's Real

Yesterday Ganguly was not Ganguly,but the real "DADA".I f you have have matched yesterday's match you will not say it's the same o39 year old Ganguly who always stood lazy in the field.If there is ever a list of cricketing come backs ,definitely Ganguly will be there on the top.Yesterday Ganguly against Deccan Chargers was 10 year less,batted aggressively,Fielded aggressively,Led the team aggressively.
Ganguly's view was clear from the very beginning itself when he directed a loosener from Kemer Roach to the square-leg boundary followed by a square drive.Ganguly kept his momentum till the end.Ojha will never dreamed that Ganguly will do like that to him.Ganguly hit three massive sixes in his over.But trying for an another one he was caught by Rohit Sharma that rightly pulled sure century by Ganguly. David Husssey also played a few reckless shot to brought the total to181.
In reply Deccan Chargers never hinted that they were going to the victory as they lost Gilchrist very cheaply.Only Gibbs and Symonds only tried from their side but it was all spoiled as none other gave a support to them and finally ended up in 157/5.
