Win against Aussies better than World Cup

RSA made the history by beating Aussies at the home soil. Aussies were defeated by any Cricket team after the 16 (sixteen) years at their own soil. SA named the Test Match Series by winning the second test and series by 2 - 0. So, very emotional remarks were passed by some legend players of SA. No doubt SA bowled well and scored the runs in magnificent manners. South African cricketing all rounder Jacques Kallis has described his team’s series win over Australia as good as winning the World Cup. Kallis as also other South African players are literally struggling to find words to describe their jubilation over the series victory.

Fast bowler Dale Steyn quoted I don''t know what the word is to describe what I am feeling right now. I am just privileged that I have got this tick next to the one battle I wanted to win"

Graeme Smith said: "To sit here knowing that we have accomplished this and we have done it is incredible. It is a difficult one to describe. You have just got to smile and often that is the best way to describe it."

I am thrilled by the results that the SA has gained over Aussies. After India it was SA cricket team who proved that they can beat Aussies in more thrilling fashion. Now it seems that Aussies time lasting grip over cricket is loosing the grounds. And prower of play is shifting towards some more better side.

Sri Lanka Pakistan Cricket Series Hit Another RoadBlock

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was just preparing to host Sri Lanka Cricket team for a test and one day international series, there seems to be An other Road Block for Audience to enjoy Live cricket. Once agreed for the series Sri Lankan team has turned down the Pakistan Cricket Board’s proposal to play three Tests and five one-dayers, making it clear that such an assignment would put extra work-load on their players.

The Sri Lanka tour of Pakistan has been ‘troubled’ earlier also. The interim committee of the SLC was disbanded and its chief Arjuna Ranatunga was sacked when he allowed the team to visit Pakistan. Later President Mahinda Rajapakse gave the series a green signal. Pakistan is hoping to play a test match for the first time in a year, but the latest controversy regarding dates has clouds of uncertainty hovering over the home series against Sri Lanka too.

This is the responsibility of both the Boards to the issue with strong agreement. Such a health activities will entertain both the Audience and players and cricket lovers as well.

Sri Lanka Will Play Cricket in Pakistan

After the Mumbai incidents the pause in Pakistan's cricket increased. PCB finally negotiated with Sri Lankan Cricket Board to Play cricket in Pakistan. Sri Lankan president cleared that Sri Lankan cricket team will tour Pakistan. I think not only the cricket fans but also the whole nation should be thankfull to the Sri Lankan President and must wellcome the guest team warmly. "I hope more and more people come to watch Sri Lanka play in Pakistan because we want to prove to the world that Pakistan is safe and secure for cricket," Though a succession of reports in recent days had cast doubts on the tour, the PCB had privately remained confident it would go ahead. Board officials were due to meet their Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) counterparts in Kuala Lumpur for an Asian Cricket Council moot and it is believed details will be finalised there on Saturday. India had originally been scheduled to tour Pakistan early next year but called off the visit after last month's terror attacks in Mumbai. Sri Lanka are scheduled to play three Tests and five ODIs, instead of three ODIs and a Twenty20 international as had been proposed by Pakistan originally. Though the itinerary is yet to be finalised the Tests are likely to be played in Lahore, Multan and Karachi, while the ODIs will be shared by Karachi, Lahore and possibly Faisalabad.

Kallis a Model All Rounder Cricketer

Despite batting at number four he has been an integral member of his team’s attack in all forms of the game and a star in the slips cordon. Now he is a Famous All Rounder. Kallis is considered a back boon of RSA batting line. RSA is playing Test match series with Australia at Aussies home grounds. last Test match the RSA won by nine wickets was 127th Test match of Legend Kallis.

Players Score Regarding Size and Weight of Bat

Cricket bats are designed according to the style and psyche of the players. A trick lies in the bat, soft bat hit the ball more powerfully than the hard bat. Similarly the Size and Weight of the bat is also important for the performance and physical fitness of the players. Different players use different size and weight. Normally the trainer and the coach suggests the bat for the younger players.


The recent fast cricket has forced the players to customize their choices to score according to the requirements. Normally in the last overs of the innings players use heavier bat to score the runs at higher rate. some Players who love the drive use bat with heavy bottom. The main aim for a comfortable bat is to enable the player to play strokes without undue effort or hindrance. There should be should be proper ruling by ICC in selection of player's accessories to bring the players at one level. So, the game and score should all on the players techniques not depending on equipments. As the standard will followed there will be more charm in match and scoring shorts.

K. Akmal Script A Thriller Vs W. Indies

Those who say 50-overs cricket has lost its ticker needed to look no further than the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi for a humdinger. Pakistan overcame a sluggish start and a middle-order wobble to sneak the most thrilling of last-over wins over West Indies.
After winning the toss and batting, West Indies settled for a below-par 294, which owed mostly to Chris Gayle's glorious 113, his 17th one-day hundred.

• One Player make the Difference:

Just 96 runs were scored since Gayle departed in the 35th over, and only 71 in the last ten overs, credit to Pakistan for sticking to their guns on a hard pitch. Ultimately, that made a big difference.

• Big Difference

Needing 17 from the last over, Akmal slashed JE Taylor the second and third deliveries for six, backing away the two deliveries made the big difference: cue hysteria in the ground. By fumble in the field two became three with an overthrow, and Alam clipped the fifth delivery of the final over for a single to seal victory. Akmal's 24 from nine balls, however, was the clincher.

Important here is to develop the players in such a way that they will be able to handle the situation in any condition. Because one Good/Bad delivery or foolish hit can turn the table in cricket.

Government is going to resolve issue of banned ICL players

The entire cricket Boards specially PCB has to change its policies about the player’s contracts. I don't think that if a player gets a chance to play for ICL, he should go and be banned by the board. This is totally unfair. This is stopping a player from earning through his chosen profession. I think that the government bodies must take action regarding the contracts.

I think, we should not lose our legend players like this way. A spoke person of government said that president Zardiari is very keen to see the revival of cricket in Pakistan cricket. Government must formulate the policies against the players professionals needs and sports pride of Pakistan.

Indian Cricket League Created Problem

Indian Cricket League ICL has crated the problem both for the players and the cricket boards. Pakistan cricket board PCB is also facing the same contract problems. Pakistan’s key batsman Mohammad Yousuf has crated a problem for board and officials by signing up again with the ICL.

ICL first edition came in 2007, for the first time. Since then all the Cricket Board all over the world passed a rule about the contracts of the player with ICL. BCCI played a role in banning the ICL contracted players the reason is that ICL is not recommended by the ICC. So, the PCB took the same actions and banned the ICL players.

Some important legal questions remain unanswered at the moment, for the ICL's latest acquisition is a long-running saga. Yousuf had initially signed up with the league in September 2007, in protest at being axed from Pakistan's squad for the Twenty20 World Cup in South Africa.

PCB’s officials got Yousuf under confidence that they will get IPL contract for him next season. He was later lured out of playing in the ICL by the Pakistan board, with the promise of a lucrative contract in the IPL. But the ICL took the matter to an arbitration court in Mumbai, arguing that as Yousuf had signed up with them, he was ineligible to play for any other league. So a stay order against Yousuf was passed. But now Yousuf is going to join ICL by putting his International career in danger.

Gilchrist Raised Issue of Ball chucking:

Former Australian player Adam Gilchrist raised the issue of ball chucking by Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan in his autobiography True Colors. He also raised the question about the action of Murali. The former player also lamented that Murali can straighten his arm with in the allowed range.

Murali was facing the action problems during the mid 90’s cricket seasons. He continues that back in 1995-96 when Darrell Hair and Ross Emerson no-balled him in Australia. Every time the issue regarding Murali bowling was raised in Australia by the Australians. But the Sri Lankan authorities gave a new color to the issue what they called it racial attack between White and Black.

Gilli said the ICC had to change the rules to avoid such issue and to accommodate Murali. So, the issue is that Politics is involved in cricket by some means. I personally think that ICC rules must be so strict that no one can raise such issues. I think that this is the nature of Australian to blame any player specially the Asians. They only believe that the rules and ethics are only for them. Any political issue regarding cricket is raised form Australia. Now no one knows what actually happened? Either Murali can straighten his arm of he had protected himself by saying “racial attack”.

Sourav Ganguly

Sourav Ganguly has been a cricketer like none other: captain extraordinaire and a batsman with rare elegance and class, a fierce competitor and a man who proved people wrong countless times in his career. As the journey ends, we relive what has been a staggering career with the words of the man himself.

Cricket Politics

Pakistan is facing the worst security and terrorism issues since last couple of years. Tragedy for Pakistan is that the foreign media is stressing more on terrorism in Pakistan then reality. So every one out side Pakistan considers every Pakistani as a terror……………….

Champion trophy was going to held in Pakistan about couple of months ago. This was really a big event for a country like Pakistan. Every cricket lover in Pakistan was planning to enjoy this big event. All the security and other related planning were on their way to completion. Almost all the cricket boards were sending their security team to Pakistan to visit the event sites. Media coverage was provided to the security teams for political purposes. International cricket council also sent its security team to Pakistan as well. At that time security was issue in Northern areas of Pakistan and in capital to some extent but it was not a big issue to resolve.

All of sudden a gossip floated in the media that the Australian players are not willing to play in Pakistan because of security issues. With the passage of time other players of different countries started behaving in the same way as Australian done. It is important to discuss that not a single complaint is made by any Asian player.

Firstly ICC decided to delay the Champion Trophy for one month. It was a wise and reasonable decision at that time. Every lover of cricket had a sound relief on this announcement. But later on the event was postpone to next year.

Question is India is also facing the terrorism problem but with little intensity than Pakistan. Several bomb blasts and suicide incidents happened in India during the last two or three months. So the security concern is there too. Question is why Australians make them ready to play in India than Pakistan. The security risk is also there.
