The Australians have a good chance as they are getting the facility of the home ground. But they are comfortable with any condition.  In the game of cricket they are very professional. In the last India tour the Australians have some good and terrible memories in October 2007. The team MS Dhoni was much younger side for Ricky Ponting. Sachin Tendulkar is one of the world’s greatest batsmen and this times some other greatest blowers of the world trying to face his talent with bat and ball. Brett Lee is one of the recent talents. He is doing a lot of home work to put a battle against Sachin Tendulkar. In this recent India – Australia is a test between the very best players of two sides. Slight slow down in the career of former captain Rahul Dravid upset his huge fan club. This time he is taking guard to open India innings in Australia. In some body worming game against some local team of Australia- Ganguly is not looking very well. But this is probably the best team the BCCI select for the Australia tour. If some old tramp cards of India work fine for India then it could be a historical moment for India. For that we have to do a lot for miracles with our ability. The MCG Match for body worming was not good for Ganguly. He scored 59 run in that match but it was a three days match.  Captain Anil Kumble is not happy with his treatment. He strongly believes that the spin could be a vital factor in Indian success in Australia. The host side has got some new spin power, after Shane Warne. B. Hogg is such a player who can turn the blow little bit and that may nerves the Indian Batsmen. India is always a good performer against spin attack. The players like Sachin Tentulkar, S. Ganguly and Yuvraj are good players for spin blowing. The Host team’s preparation is flying high. Regular openers are at well form. Middle order Batsman Michel Hussey is very promising batsman for Australia. A valuable centaury against Pakistan and some good blowing performance in the last series has made the Baroda All rounder, Irfan Pathan a truly quality performer in the highest level.  Spinner Harbhajan and Virender Sehwag are playing not for they are so well known brand but they have a do or die situation to prove their hidden talent.  They are highly experienced and their record against Australia fabulous. It should be rebuild and alive in this recent tour.  

At last India got a new coach and he is none other than South African opener batsman Mr. Gray Kirsten. He is waiting for his family’s opinion to take a great decision of coaching India.  Mr. Kirsten was interviewed by the Board of control for cricket (BCCI) in Delhi. This cricketing talent made his honorable retirement in 2004 with some finest memory of his excellent career. After Greg Chappell and John Wright he will be another foreign coach who is going to play the role of   ‘Dhrunacharia’ in Indian Cricket Mahabharata. It is more than eight month when India didn’t have a permanent coach. And it is vacant due to many reasons. Why Board is not ready to appoint a new coach? This is a big question for many cricket fans in India. After the discouraging result in the world cup 2007, Greg Chappell acquiescent his job all in a sudden.  Meanwhile couple of foreign coaches tried their luck to get this job of richest cricket board of the world. But at the end moment they deny. Mr. Kirsten is now 40 years old and in this séance he is a new energetic and young coach for team India. Few recent cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid played with the new coach, Mr. Kirsten. India is a land of greater batsman so a batman coach is needed no doubt but we need some good coach for balling also.   Hope he will be the next coach for indian’s Australia tour Dec 2007.

Few hours left to begin the final battle of 20-20 cricket between India and Pakistan. All eyes on India’s main tramp card Yuvraj Singh who could change the complexion of the game by hitting big sixes. He is 4th player in the history of the game who hit 6 sixes in the same over and creates a high definition cricket at Kingsmead in 2007. India is mange to win the semi –final in Durban against Australia. Misbah ul-Haq is till now the highest ran scorer form the Pak side. So a lot of expectations are wanting from him by his team mate like Afridi and Hafeez. more on live7n.com

The new chapter of cricket began in South Africa it is the biggest carnival of cricket, the world 20twenty cup 2007. It is in the Johannesburg, all spectator were singing and dancing in the stadium with the drama. We know cricket is a gentlemen game, but the gentleman game is over and hopefully for the better advancement of the game. The first mach was between South Africa and West Indies. C. Gayle hits10 sixes and 7 four and in his giant knock he played a super 117. Gayle was the man of the first match. Ajay Jadeja in NDTV said he had enjoyed the mach very much. All of the players are not expert in this form of 20twenty game. It is much faster then the limited over game, the blower have a tough job for this format. For wining a match the blower have to play a vital role. 4 of 5 dot ball could play an important rule in the result of the game. Gayle is one of a suitable player for 20-20 game. It is a record braking knock in 20 over game. Fielding is very impotent when you are fielding under light. This is not a game for ordinary blower, 10 run per over is just like 4 runs per over in a 50 over game. The men in blue are in the form for this new world cup. In first game they will meet Scotland. The caption, M. Dhoni said the whole team has to play for win, not an individual game. So India’ chance is very good as they are in such a pool where team like Scotland and Pakistan will fight in 20twenty second world cup of the year. The South African hero, H. Gibbs completed an improbable win with his 90s. The organizers were satisfied with the dream start in the Johannesburg in the first match with over 400 runs.   

 

Cricket is not just a sport in India. It is a religion. The cricket lovers in India love this game and watch it with their keen eyes forgetting their every day works. But when the players’ performance is not up to the mark they become angry. Many experts’ opinion is that cricket is game of team work. Each and every member of the team is valuable for a win. The center of a team is the captain of the squad. The leadership quality is a must requirement for a leader who’ll lead the side. He made the decisions and others have to follow them. In the third test match against English side the Indian captain make a decision not to follow –on. This match was result less for both the team. India won the series for 1-0. The leader has no confidence in enforcing the opposition. Otherwise that historic win against England could be sweeter memory for India. Cricket is game of uncertainty. You can’t blame the players for their performance. A team like Bangladesh also dismissed the last World Cup dream for India. A captain’s role is a question mark for the interest of the game. A person leading from the front has to justify this position. As I am a leader of the team I need to know how to utilize my top guns. Sachin Tandulkar, S. Ganguly, VVS Laxman all are now old gladiators. The current One-day International was started with a high margined loss of 104 runs. The India tried to bounce back and in the second match against the host, they get an exciting 9 runs victory. Sachin Tandulkar and the skipper Rahul Dravid both deserve the win for their 90’s kissing half centuries in Bristol. In the last match in Manchester on Thursday, only 212 runs target is not enough for Paul Collingwoods’. Again the Indian captain, Rahul Dravid is criticized for his poor captaincy by the huge cricket fans.

India won the toss and Indian Captain decided to bat first. It is a nice sunny day out there in the Bristol and a pleasant condition for bat. The left hand right hand combination start the batting attract for Indian Team. It is Sourav Ganguly, the man on strike. On the other hand the master blaster Sachin Tandulkar. The first session is wonderful from India’s point of view. The Bristol Cricket stadium is lucky for Sachin Tandulkar. In 1999’s world cup in England, Sachin Tandulkar made a century against Kenya. India’s score is 100-0 and the left hand right hand combination works well for India again. The former skipper of England, Filntoff makes the first brake throw. Sourav Ganguly caught by England’s Captain P. Collingwood, when India got very soon 113 runs on the board. But, Sachin Tandulkar plays his natural game and he get 88 runs in his account using just 93 balls.

We hope that he‘ll make his third century in Bristol. On the other side Yuvraj’s scour is 5. It is drinks now. 26 over’s have gone. I am posting this post. For more information and expressions, please stay with LIVE7n again after the match.

Indian’s tennis sensation and youth style icon, Sania Mirza is in top form in this current season for her wonderful performance in the world arena. Sania is always well known for her powerful strokes whenever she played. She is getting more experience and maturity over the last two years to enrich her game for the better results. As she is a quick learner of the game, she reached the zenith with some splendorous victories against a good number of top-ranks in this time, which is the best of her career. In July, 2007 Sania set up a big clash with world No. 4 Patty Schnyder of Switzerland and downed her 7-6, 6-1 and she marched on.

Sybille Bammer of Austria who overcame the USA’s Lilia Osterloh 6-2, 6-1, set up a semifinal fight with Sania Mirza and it was a hard battle. Sania recorded her first semifinal win in a three setter match and beat the Austrian 6-2, 5-7, 6-3. For this win Sania Mirza was manage to get a place in the top 30 table.

The Hyderabadi achiever beat total 3 top 20 players. They are Tatiana Golvion, Patty Schnyder and Dinara. She was proven a Giant killer by her many victories and she beat Martina Hingis at Califonia on 7th July 2007. France’s Virginie Razzano, who was just 52nd ranked, stopped Sania’s pleasant journey on 10th August. But, The Indian fans hope more from Sania in the next seasons.

This time, all eyes will be on Wayne Rooney. This British player is just 21 years old and with his talent, he has already touched the zenith of the soccer world. Time and again, England presented a lot of heroic players in the history of the English game, the football. There are hardly any parts in the world left, where the exciting game, football is not played. And as a football fan of modern era everybody knows Wayne Rooney. Often for a long period of time, many legendary young players of England are ruling over the European football and this time the clock is moving on Rooney.

In the last soccer World Cup in 2006, when he was suffering from an injury, the fan clubs thought that he could not play for the England team. But, after recovering from that obstruction, he performed very well in that competition. His injured feet have done some magic for the spectators in the field. England was failed in Germany to won the world cup tournament 2006. But if the team could get the support from that key player in the opening, the result would be different.

He took six weeks to recover from his injury. We are not talking anymore about the history of his game. At present, he is the one of the main person on strike for the famous Manchester United club. This extraordinary footballer started his career as a teenager like his many other passionate followers. This Manchester united’s player is sharp attacker of the ball. His deadly speed in the field never ensures the opposition’s defenses any secure relaxes. At any standard, the oppositions become very alert about Rooney’s tremendous presence in the ground. The Manchester United is all set to start their next season of aggressive preparation for the game. Their coach Sir Alex Ferguson is very confident about their key players and he supposes Rooney is the best among the other superior team members. So the club is not giving any trifling amount for signing Mr. Rooney. This 19 year old genius is getting nearly 17m pound for his tremendous presence in one of the richest football club of the world. (Don’t think he is the highest paid footballer in England).

The summer is over and this English game is about to begin for another session. Other team mates of Rooney’ like Cristiano Ronaldo, Gabriel Heinze are feeling melancholic for him. But who could forget the game he played for his club in the FA cup final in May, 2007. The Manchester United’s physio had a great contribution in the recovery of Rooney’s injury. There is no doubt about the technical accuracy of the player and this wounded lion has not forgotten his deadly attacking instincts.

Rooney’s Asian crazy fans are fortunate enough to watch him in Asia when he played for Man United’s Asian tour. Rooney has surely enjoyed the tour as an easiest way to perform for his club. Every top soccer club arrange some pre-sessions before going for the big one. If a player gets some easy way to perform, automatically his boost increased in up ward direction. Wayne Rooney is getting such situation for his preparation for upcoming sessions. In Soccer, the player needs an extra sweat for training themselves. Wayne loves his game and he is ready to give100 percent for his physical fitness and joins the training early in the morning. The Show is not ended. Still the fan believes that the play has a gigantic potential to perform in present.
