Cricket


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.   

 

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.
