Ganguly is always the Prince ! !

Sourav Ganguly once again has proved his place worthy in the Indian cricket team, scoring a fast 87 of just 114 balls with a strike rate of 74.3%. The 3rd day of the match is yet to begin as I make this post, and by end of day 2, India scored 288 for 9 wickets with Sreesanth and Ishanth left batting. So the test is perfectly set, that the balance of the match could weigh on either side and the deciding factor would be today, the 3rd day of the match. Hope India gets the initial break through and has an upper hand over the One of the strongest test teams South Africa.

It's India again who proved to be the champs !

Yes ! India has once again proved that they are the undisputed cricket T20 champions. As I mentioned earlier in one of my posts, today was a T20 match between India and Australia. There were several critics around the world saying that India won the world cup by a pure luck or fluke. But India turned down their theories to dustbins. Yes once again they beat Australia in a T20 in Mumbai. There were news that, had Ponting played the match in the world cup, then the story would have been different. But it was all Indians today. Right from bowling , fielding and batting. They displayed a class in their chasing skill, chasing atotal of 167 runs in 20 overs. Finally they did it with ease with 7 wickets remaining and 11 balls to spare. All credits to the Indian team. They won the match all because of their hard work and luck has nothing to do with this victory. All the people around the world do accept this fact. Congratulations India.

T20 - The revenge match.

As we all are aware of the fact that India are the T20 - 2007 world Champions and they had to beat the worlds best team, the men in Gold 'Australia'. This was really tough for the Australian captain Ricky Ponting to digest. Then came the Future cup series, Australia tour of India in which Australia won the series by 4-2. Though India fough each match, the Australians had the upper hand.The pressure were always on the Indians chasing a huge total. But tomoro is the revenge match. India Vs Australia T20. The mosy awaited match. It is going to be filled with fun and nail biting moments. Enjoy the thrill.

Well Done Vengsarkar ! ! !

Finally! It was a fine move by Dilip Vengsarkar, Chief Selector of the Indian Cricket Team warning the senior players. Yes! What he said was right and he hed to make that move because of the current performance of the Indian Cricket team in the ongoing Future Cup series between India and Australia. Though Australians are the world Champions, They may be invincible, but not unbeatable. This can be made possible only if the senior players in the team guide their junior players towards the victory. If they are not performing to their mark, then it's time for the youngsters to take their place and start preparing for the next world cup. There are lot of talented youngsters all over India waiting to grab their oppurunity to make their way into the cricket team and to stage their talents in International stages of the game. "Perform or Cherish". This will be the slogans for the seniors in the team.

It's T20 Champs Vs F50 Champs

It has been a consistent performance by team India in South Africa to name themselves the undoubted Champions of the inaugural T20 World Cup. India beat England and South Africa in the Super 8 League to get them back to their Home. It was the big match India Vs Australia in the Semi Finals. It was Experience Vs Exuberance. But what all proved at the end is the will to win and fight back in any situation. India won the thriller by 15 runs. The finals was same as the well known rivals. India Vs Pakistan. What a match it turned out to be. A match worth to be a world cup finals. Both the teams had their winning chances. But it was India at the last who held their nerves to conquer the T20 Champions title. Now It's Australia tour of India this month. Australia, the F50 Champs Vs India, the T20 Champs. This is going to be a series of fun and thrillers.

India had beaten Australia in T20, Australia would make a clean sweep of the series. India at the other end would try to build up their winning reputation.
