Group A – Group of Death…

Rightly termed the group of death, most of the action should happen in this group even thou WI are coming in with a second string side. So unfortunate it will be for all of us to miss out of Gayle Storm, players like Bravo, Sarvan, Taylor, Edwards etc.
Having said that, lets hope this side can hold its own and produce some competitive cricket else I fear they might just be blown out of proportion leaving already tottering WI cricket into further disarray. If the recent series against BAN is anything to go by than one should not expect them to trouble any of other three teams in the group. AUS, IND and PAK can breathe easy that if they play up to their potential this is one Win secure for them.

Pakistan on the other hand is a side which can topple the best on its day and might go down without a fight to any one. The Sri Lanka series gave us a fair idea how unpredictable they can be, they were stream rolled in first 3 one days suddenly to realize in last 2 that they came to SRI to play cricket winning next 2 handsomely.
They have a formidable bowling line up in their Ranks, arguably the best in the tournament when it comes to variety. GUL, RANA, RAZZAQ, ASIF, AJMAL, AFRIDI any one these can make it to any of the other 7 teams on any given day. They have been fortunate to have players back from ICL, giving it all the solid looks.

It will all depend on which Pakistani team steps out on the park on the given day but rest assure this is one team no opponents wants to face in a big profile match such as champions trophy final.

They will be coming after the highs of winning the T 20 World Cup but most teams will also know 50 over cricket is where the real test of character will happen. We will just have to wait and see if they can do justice to the talent they possess.

Champions Trophy - Preview

2009-09-21T23:24:00.000-07:00

Its time for champions trophy 2009, phew finally after all what happened when it was scheduled in Pakistan(2008) its finally good to see that it will start in few hours from now all be it at a different location, seems like South Africa is turning out to be a great host for variety of competition across various disciplines.

Now lets focus on the task at hand, a task which is bigger than just winning the champions trophy, the task is to settle the talks of wheatear its time for 50 Over format to take a back seat and let its young baby take over or to let the world know that this format is here to stay and just frenzy feeling of 20 20 cricket is not enough to replace this.

While ICC has its task cut out while preserving the one day format, champion’s trophy in more ways than one will answer where we head from now. While the format and schedule is as perfect as it could be it will all boil down to what kind of matches we get. Congrats to ICC for keeping only top 8 Teams in the fray many times we have had too many one sided contests in World Cup, while its no disrespect to the BAN or ZIM am sure they will accept they still have a way to go before they can catch up the big daddies of world cricket.

ICC has to promote the game across the world and 20 -20 cricket might just be the tool it ever needed , many times when I was in US I was asked oh how do you manage to get 5 days or 1 day just to sit in front of TV and watch a game? The biggest problem in western world in adopting cricket is time. They just cant agree that they have a full day just to sit in front of tv and admire the sports, for them it has to be more or Friday evening when they can head to a game, grab a beer and nice company and enjoy the game for 2-3 Hrs max. That’s where I believe ICC has to market 20-20 cricket well. While the advantage of 20-20 cricket should be taken to popularize the game, unfortunately for now what its doing is just the opposite.

As they say, bring them on….

Preview India Aus - Test Series

2008-10-07T15:24:00.000-07:00

so its been a while since i shared/discussed about the game we all love , well what better than India Aus Series.

As all say this has become the most awaited contest in the cricketing world these days and some even says bigger than Ashes or India Pak cricket series.

Any ways lets not get in to the discussion of which contest is bigger than other. So am sure all of us are fascinated about the possibility of watching some of the greates names to ever play game to come and take the field.

Its been a log break for India team as ICC Champions Trophy got cancelled and gave enough time to recharge the batteries before the battle Royale.

A look at the two teams and we realise there is not much to Chose in between , for sure India been the Home team goes in favourites but you can never count of the Aussies Can you?

The retirment of our very own DADA add to the spice of the contest, and it will be a great farewell for him if he can go out with a bang.

Lets look at what this series has to offer in terms of small contests within players.

1. Punter v/s Bhajji ..... Well you can never have enough of this encounter, sure Bhajji has had the upper hand so far but not to forget Ricky is a champion in its own right and just cant wait for the game to start. Am sure the Aussie captain will be severly under pressure when he comes to bat against Bhajji but isn't his mental strength combined with the talent he possess makes him a great batsman if not the greatest already? Not to forget he is coming back from the injury and onus lies with him to take this inexperience but competitive Aussie unit fwd.

2. Hayden v/s Indian Spinners.....It was on this tour where a new Hayden was born and what has happened since than is not unknown to all of us. World has seen a prolific opening batsman take up and crease in past 5-7 years and dominate the world the way he has, after all walking down the track in first over of a test match is no joke? He has a great record against India and a look at the Aussie team will tell you if he scores they all feel relaxed but if Indians can get him early we are in with a very good chance. It will all depend on How are new bowl bowlers bowl as you dont want Hayden Batting against Indian Spinners and giving other batsman the comfort level they need with those big slog sweeps.

3. Fab Four..... Well no discussion can be over without discussing the greats of Indian cricket, they all hold legendary status in there own way but if there was ever a time when each one of them was under pressure due to various reasons than it is now. DADA calling up the day might just put icing on the cake and he may walk out with a bang.

We all will hope and will be glued to the television screen in the Month to come..Hope i find enough people to come and talk about cricket here to get the spirit going. Till than Have fun
