Drop Dravid at Your Risk – Stated Ajit Wadekar

I know how solid a batsman can be. I am saying these statements because I have seen Rahul Dravid bating like a consistent batsman ion every match. Be it One day International, Test Cricket or the recent T20 formats. He played brilliantly in the latest IPL2 as well as Champions League. Now there are speculations that he might be dropped in the next tournaments because at the end of the day his inclusion on the one day cricket was temporary and not permanent. But the point is that can we...

The Wall and his T20 Fundas!

With the inclusion and success of Rahul Dravid in the T20 format, it has been proved that the game is not just about hard hitters and unrealistic shots! The format also needs some people who can play good cricketing shots and know the techniques of this game called cricket rather than just knocking the ball in undecided directions. Of course with Rahul in your side, you can not only ensure that your players would not fall like a pack of cards but also get to see some classic strokes from...

Who will win Champions League T20?

With twelve teams playing for their pride, it is always very difficult to speculate as to who will win the tournament. But with so many cricket fans all over the world, assumptions are bound to exist. Isn’t it? Take one expert comment from my side. Changes for Delhi Daredevils are quiet high to win the tournament. They would like to forget their poor run in the IPL and heal the wounds with the win the Champions League. On the other hand, if we will have a look at the Deccan Chargers,...

Gambhir Out and Kohli In!

Despite of the fact that Team is going to play for a Triangular series in Sri Lanka, the dates are so well managed by the BCCI that they need to request Sri Lankan Cricket Board to shift the program of the triangular series for one day, so that Indian players will be able to play in the BCCI Corporate...

Cricketing Session is back in the Sub Continent!

After a gap of two three months cricketing session is back in the sub continent, and this time the speciallity of the show is the fight between the Young Brigade and the Experienced Folks. Now that we are on the verge of the Triangular One Day Series in Sri Lanka, which also includes New Zealand, and we are aware of the composition of the ODI Team, it is the right time that we should start discussing on the future prospects. I think that with the inclusion of Rahul Dravid in the team,...

Return of Rahul Dravid in Team India Probable is significant!

There was a time when he was known as "the Wall" of the Indian test cricket team, yes we are talking about the dashing middle order batsman Rahul Dravid. A day before BCCI has announced his name for the probable players list in the team India for Champions Trophy. I really liked this decision and if you believe the cricket pundits then he is likely to be included in the squad for the Champions Trophy which is going to be held in South Africa in the month of September and October 2009. It...

It was not expected for most of the people out here in India as well as some of the people out there in South Africa too. Three old guys Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble steal the attraction of the opening day in IPL second session.
