India Defeated South Africa and Claimed the World Number One Position in Test Matches!

Team India defeated South Africa by an innings and 57 runs in the second test match. The victory for India came at the dying minutes of the last day of the second test, which also brought the world number one position in test matches back to the hosts. Team India lost the world number one position a few days back when South Africa, which was number two team, defeated them badly in the first tests at Nagpur. So, with this superb victory Team India also claimed the $1,75,000 prize money, which...

India Lost!

What a match it was. It had all the ingredients that are needed in a crispy One Day International between India and Australia. Harbhajan Singh and Praveen Kumar were the exceptions who provided the much needed masala in a match that was already becoming a one sider game till their flourished a brilliant partnership between themselves. I am sure that other regular batsmen, especially Jadeja and Raina, would be finding it shameful after their poor batting performance. They would be ashamed...

RCB Won for Their Pride!

Anil Kumble mentioned it at the toss that they want to win this game for their pride and they did exactly that. The Bangalore crowd supported them extremely well and d\so did their fans from all over the world. Now with no IPL team in the tournament now, the Champions League is looking some what boring as far as the future matches are concerned. But as they say Cricket is a religion in India and people from all over the world will surely watch it no matter which team is playing and which...

MUST WIN FOR BANGALORE!

I know it would be hard for Bangalore Royal Challengers, but they have no other choice. This time they really have to pull their socks and give a tough fight to the Delhi Daredevils if they really want to stay in the tournament. After losing their last game by a huge margin of seven wickets, it has become extremely important for them to win all the upcoming matches and strengthen their grip on this tournament. As I have stated earlier that this is a funny game. You never know what can really...

The Axe Fell on Rahul Dravid

Yesterday itself I came out with a blog that the Indian team for the Australian series is soon going to be announced. And it was announced yesterday itself. Probably I am a little late in blogging this topic because I went in the mode of depression. I mean, how these selectors can drop Rahul Dravid after giving him chance in just few matches. Atleast they should have tried him for the Australian series and would have taken certain decisions. A batsman of his caliber can not be dropped like...

RCB Lost!

The day was not in favor for Rahul Dravid. Firstly he was dropped from the one day squad and secondly, Royal Challengers Bangalore lost against Victorian Bushrangers by a heavy margin of seven wickets. The home ground did not prove lucky for the home team as they managed to score a modest total of just 127 runs. Manish Pandey gave a decent start to the home team but later on, their wickets fell like a pack of cards and they could only manage a score that was not enough to restrict the...

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...

Yuvraj, Sehwag May Come Back against Australia

Future months are bringing some really good news for the Indian cricket lovers out there. India will go on to play Australia by playing host to the Aussies. Good news that it’s making its way in the air is that Yuvraj Singh who was ruled out of the recent tournaments is likely to return back in the upcoming Australia v India series. Another best part about this news is that our very own hard hitter Viru that is Virender Sehwag is also likely to make a comeback. That this means is that our...

RCB Came Out With Flying Colors!

It was a must win situation for both the teams, be it Challengers or Otago. But it was Bangalore that stole the show and managed to grab a perfect win by 80 runs. Ofcourse when we say that the win was by a margin of 80 runs, then not many people would feel the excitement, but when we say that this win was grabbed in the T-20 format, it would surely excite all of you. Of course, I saw the whole match and I was thoroughly mesmerized by an all-round performance of Kallis who took the match...

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...
