Thomas,
Cricket is NOT named after an insect.
Cricket may also refer to:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket_%28disambiguation%29
Derivation of the name:

I think Thomas was reffering back to an earlier thread where someone made a joke about the insect and the sport and it flew (no pun intended) over some peoples heads.
I'm not a huge Cricket fan but i like the look of the Chennai Super Kings. How can a team with a player called Napoleon Einstein be bad?
Hi,
I am the naugthy guy from Cricket non playing France who made fun about the pseudo relation between the insect and the game...
Though, it is obvious because the Cricket game is played on lawn which is grass and cricket insects love grass !
It was also to remind our world wide SDN audiance that, what is obvious in your country may be mysterious in the country of your fellow SDN forumer.
That is also something very interesting in the Coffee Corner : confronting opinions and different cultures.
Sorry to disturb (in fact, not really) , once more the Crickets fans !
PS : No game is superior to Petanque !
Greetings,
Olivier
Hi friends,
did not know about Olivier's previous thread on the topic, just my usual sense of "humour".
I actually watched some cricket on TV during a vacation on an island in the Indian ocean and probably understood 7 percent of the rules after several days...
Feel free to run over my home football (soccer) team "Hertha BSC Berlin"
Cheers
Thomas
Humm!!
Lol so many replies...although some of them not aware of the
game but still they trying to know that..really appriciated..

Hi,
What is this strange game ?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P%C3%A9tanque
The first World Championships were organized in 1959. The most recent championships were held in Faro (2000), Monaco (2001), Grenoble (2002, 2004 and 2006), Geneva (2003), Brussels (2005), and Pattaya / Thailand (2007). Fifty-two teams from 50 countries participated in 2007.
Greetings,
Olivier
o Thats a great reward for chennai team...then what is he batsman? or bowler? any one having his statistics regarding his performance?
What happen to Deccan chargers? any illusion..happening..the team called as favourite not even in race...In the last position..?
Edited by: saslove sap on Apr 25, 2008 8:12 AM
Bad luck is coming in different manifestations for Deccan Chargers of Hyderabad.
The other day it was Virender Sehwag's Blitzkrieg and yesterday it was sheer power hitting of Aussie spin magician, Shane warne with his unlikely batting prowess....
hope the Deccan chargers have something in the offing in the remaining matches atleast..
today is Mumbai Indians Vs Punjab Kings...interesting match, because both the teams haven't got started in the points table....
Hi Dudes,
Deccan chargers:Leader is the main problem for deccan chargers.Laxman is such a nice man..that he never like any team disspointed.
he is trying his level best for keeping other teams Happy..
First two mathces..The man who is not at all fit for one-days
(venu gopal) has been sent to opener..and then following the captian laxman as one-down..which is maxing the situation so pathetic.Afridi sending him at 6th oreder.in 20 game match what his palns only god knows.
ok first two mathces bad luck..but the third match..where thins seems fine..2 overs 21 to 1 over 18 runs..Really no team will loss the match generally..but the great brain fo laxman again comes into picute..he has given the ball to "MONKEY" who has been given 24 runs in his previous over(Includes 3 sixes form our test palyer Kaif + 6 runs)
.Monkey has bowled such anice the endresult every one knows..
but i dont understand one thing..iafridi who has given only 6 runs and taken 3 wickets previous over has been avoided and ball has given To monkey.....laxman hats up!!! cheers..the reason behind his paly is soon coming to picutres friends...wait and see...

Lol..Its way way long back in INDIA of name...[KARRA BILLA|http://www.hindu.com/2006/09/10/stories/2006091005640200.htm] Copied by the english man and name it as Cricket !!! and Karra(In local language it means Stick) became the BAT

[No one knows when or where cricket began but there is a body of evidence, much of it circumstantial, that strongly suggests the game was devised during Saxon or Norman times by children living in the Weald, an area of dense woodlands and clearings in south-east England that lies across Kent and Sussex.|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_cricket]
I have not heard the game Karra Billa, but I know [gilli danda|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilli-danda] looks like the raw form of cricket.
Gilli-danda (Devanagari: गिल्ली डण्डा), gulli-danda or Guli Danda is an amateur sport, popular among rural youth in the Indian subcontinent. It is called dānggűli in Bangla, chinni-dandu in Kannada, kuttiyum kolum in Malayalam, viti-dandu in Marathi, kitti-pullu in Tamil, gooti-billa in Telugu, and Lappa-Duggi لپا ڈگی in Pashto.
The embedded link says its gooti-billa in Telgu.

I think Andhra People can call this game in different words like gooti-billa and Karra billa etc. It is totally depends up on their Region like Telangana, Rayalaseema and Kostandhra.
If you are belongs to Andhra Pradesh, you can well known about these Regions.

And interestingly, the Oz media is fuming about the same things they have benefitted while at Sydney:
1. A grassed catch. (Clarke's catch then)
2. Not referring to third umpire (Symmonds stumping then), when it was necessary.
I cant stop laughing, esp when I think about statements made by some of the Oz players then:
The law of averages always catches up with ya.
haha... and what a time for the law of averages to catch-up with ya. The Ashes!!!!
pk
Absolutely Agree.
Also, if you go back few more years , then you must be remembering Sachin's Head before Wicket (HBW ) on McGrathu2019s delivery?
Comon'n OZ thatu2019s Cricket, Itu2019s only one year ago. Every test might not be played in Sydney.
P.S. I appreciates Efforts from England despite the umpire decisions, and at the same time I do appreciate the efforts from Clarke and Haddin.
Cheers
Yes I watched Both matches and Followed closely.
Do all players playing only for Money? There is no affection with their nation in their heart? How they can forget the pains and glory which they brought to their nation by winning two consecutive maiden world cups? For the moment Were they remembered the prestige of Vivian Richards and Malcolm Marshal? Establishing the records is easier than keeping them. Donu2019t forget that was first ever home/overseas defeat for WI against B.
Pity WI players and WICB, who did not came with harmony in the team and WICB. Self spoiled their records. huh

If they do come up it will be great to Indian T20 version.
What will be the name if GOA starts the same ??
May be it will be whichever implements first will get GPL
And by the way it should not end with "CL" ?? ICL was a flop, but Kapil Dev still thinks it can survive.

Great to find this thread on new(from my perspective, been long since I visited Coffee Corner) SCN.
Heard the India vs Pakistan match tickets(general) were sold out in just 12 minutes for the World Cup 2015 match.
Are we geared up ? "Defending Champions and No. 1 team, hence more pressure".
http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup/fixtures
P.S:
Soccer or rather football fans: Hope you had nice World Cup 2014 and German team was too good for the rest. And don't remind me about the Brazil match, tough luck.

We are waiting for that match. Pakistan Vs India. Both nations take it as war not a match but I always enjoy cricket match just as sports. Hope this time things would be different and Pakistan Cricket team could change the history of Pak India cricket matches in all previous world cups

Hi
Are you guys talking about cricket here How about Asia cup guys
You must be a registered user to add a comment. If you've already registered, sign in. Otherwise, register and sign in.
Can't tell you in public place what would they do if they win WC.
BTW after watching this match I came to know that how much Bangladeshi croud dislikes Pakistan and Pakistani cricket team. They are also saying that cricket is our religion.
If you know about magic in Bangaal, there was a guy doing some magic in croud. Couldn't find his video on youtube.
They are crazy
Yes buddy. Cricket fever is always high in sub continent countries & I have seen many crazy fans across India, Pakistan & Sri Lanka. This is first time I have seen something similar in Bangladesh
I think you shouldn't conclude this that anyone dislikes Pakistan or its team. Ultimately, it is just a game and should be taken accordingly. These players don't give anything to anyone when they lift a trophy
There's another video of Bangladeshi Cricket player's interview which was taken on Pak's TV channel (I'm not sure if that's real or some kinda parody, you may figure that out).
That's super funny. If you want to see it, I can give you the link
You know Pakistan India and Bangladeshi crouds. They dont take it as just a game and they are always emotional and I dont know you are aware of the fact that after Pak India match many people died in different incidents. Anyways its a long debate but for me its just a game and I cant watch complete match. I just watch starting ten overs and last ten with Pak India match only
Sure just give me the link. I will see and will let you know.
Yes. Its a never ending debate and I guess you & I are not fit for this
Hey, I just checked it again. Show's name is 'Loose Talk' and Moin Akhtar is the name of the artist & Anwar Maqsood is the host. You might be aware of it. That's not original.

"This reminds me of the game played in 1958 at the same venue. West Indies were 614 for 5 declared. As young kids we bunked classes and were glued to the Radio sets. Kanhai got a big double, Sobers got a hundred, and as the name suggested Butcher clinically got a hundred. India were out for 124 in the 1st and 154 in the 2nd, lost by innings and 336 runs. What revenge, even if it took more than 50 years. Happy it happened in my life time."

Sri Lanka has been champion several times, Iu2019m so proud of my country. I think there is a link between Cricket / Soccer and SAP. If youu2019re good at one, youu2019re good at both. You buy my theory ?
No.
SAP is for nerds, unless you know how to code games in ABAP
By the way, I used to be fan (other than Indian team ) of "Mad Max" (guess you know whom I am referring to). He was such a class.

By the way in one pole it says that almost 70% people believe this IPL as fixing matches..bad name on sachin although he may won IPL cup for his team.... So dont care this

Well got this as a E-mail forward, not sure if its true
What is confidence and dedication?
One incidence is quoted .
India vs Australia [2004] match...
Brad Hogg took Sachin's wicket.
At the end of the match Hogg gave that
Ball to Sachin for his autograph.
Sachin put his sign with one beautiful sentence,
"IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN."
Till today Hogg could not take his wicket for the second time.
THAT'S CONFIDENCE & DEDICATION.. !
HATS OFF TO OUR LITTLE MASTER SACHIN.
After this incident Brad Hogg and Sachin Tendulkar came face to face 21 times...but he could never get the Master Blaster out
Howzaaat!
Vikranth
Ohh great. So thats one more example which shows his greatness. But wonder why Sachin still couldn't be a good captain. His weakness in taking appropriate decision at the right time was clearly show in the IPL finals. For someone who is one of the greatest batsman of all time, someone who has played international cricket for more than 20 years, this inability to lead a team could be one small black mark in his glorious career when he retires.
Vikranth
Hi Vikranth
To my mind not really a black mark, as the skills rquired for captaincy can sometimes be the opposite of those needed to be a great batsman. For example, Brian Lara was a great batsman, but I wouldn't want him as captain. And Ian Chappel wasn't the best batsman of his time, but was a great captain.
That Sanchin is one of the best batsmen the world has seen is without question. In 100 years anyone looking at his figures will not feel the legend is diminished just because of a captaincy question.
You know it makes sense
Gareth
LOL.. was expecting a backfire a long back. I dont understand why some people refuse to accept the facts. Its a fact that he is one of the greatest batsman of all time which his records say for themselves. And it is also a fact that he had not been a great Captain. Captaincy being something related more of making the team win arguably more important than being a better player, i would be more happier if sachin could be related to that in future than as someone who smashed all the records individually.

Kudos Laxman Kuddos...
we are really Very Very Sorry Laxamn
If you had born in Australia people would have say Another Bradman...Atleast you would have born in Bombay People would have say Another Sachin..... When ever Ganguly is out of team almost all the bengal is karfu that day...
we andhra people doenst know how many times you are out and in...
When sachin plays we all not even close our eyes for second..But that sachin wont close his eyes when you plays..How many people know this reason...
Thats why once again Very Very Sorry Laxman.
Ishant is surely under covers..Common Ishant become one more kapil not Irfan patan
Regards
Sas
sas,
good reply, you can try this in any news paper or in a news channel(30 minutes program).
there is a reason why selectors not interested in Laxman.
Most of the Indian Cricket players are good enough, but once they succeed in single match they got full publicity,advertisements, parties,pubs. but vvsl is not active in parties and other activities. so selectors not selecting him for other format matches (if win there is a party to celebrate, if loose there is also a party to discuss how to win next match). after a test match every player not interested in parties so he is in text format only.
IN yesterday match. Umpires take wrong decisions on LBW , two for India and One for Australia. the one changed the match towards India.

We lost the practice match against NewZealand by more than 100 runs. That wouldnt do any good to the confidence of the team starting the campaign at champions trophy. Lets hope Sachin can recreate the magic of the 2003 worldcup match against pakistan where he slammed the ball all over the ground.

Cricket is getting excited day by day with the introduction of IPL n T20u2026
Am I the only one who thinks Cricket has become a little boring these days. I blame it on too much cricket. Not a month goes by without a series involving India (or Indian Players). It was good in the olden days. Wait for three to four months for a series and lap up everything you can before the next series began after another three months.
Seriously, I feel the BCCI needs to schedule fewer tournaments. That way the public's interest mounts and the boys too are match-fit.

I absolutely agree with Dinesh when he says, SDN would not have been the same without SAS. Nice one,dude!!!
Vishwa.
Hello SAS,
I have been following the champions league initially. Though lost intrest after the exit of the IPL teams (Deccan Chargers to be precise). I saw the semi final yesterday cape cobras vs trinidad and tobago. T&T seem to be a very strong side and has suprised everyone. Looks like Bravo and Ricardo Pollard can smash anyone out of the park.
Well the Aussies are here. Eagerly waiting for the One day series to start. Lets see how we fare against Australia
Vikranth
Thats True Andrew...Watching unkown matches is just like Wathcing county for us Which never gives thrill
One more draw back is Too much cricket also Kills the joy of that ........
But one good thing is this is happening in India More over When we are listening the scores...That's really amazes..And This final you try to watch Andrew Really Trust worthy they are hitting sixers as simple like drinking water....Dont knw where is this Char-coal cricketr's are hiding till now..
Yup Vikranth....
>Well the Aussies are here. Eagerly waiting for the One day series to start. Lets see how we fare against Australia...
As far as our Lord Sachin is there No worries for us...Every one eagerly waiting for the same
Sas
Sas,
Saw the matches..they hit sixes just like that..No respect for sixes in these format of cricket and also in these type of leagues.But dont know where these sixers are when coming to play in international cricket.Guess there is lot of pressure when you play cricket for your country and need lot of mental toughness.
Praveen,
Good tight finish.Praveen and Harbhajan wanted to give some justification for their poor bowling with their bat but couldnt finish it in style. anyways i guess they will comeback in the next match. But even if Sachin didnt bat well there is some confidence prevailing in the whole team if he is in the 11.
Its a piece of cake for Aussies but lets see who eats the cherry.

Man U never looked to get rid of Red chills.Most the the time they were behind the ball. I think Owen's Appearance in late 70 minute cause Man U .He should be in Field for right through the game.

this thread really raises a strong desire for a IGNORE FUNCTION for SDN threads in me.
the discussion is quiet off topic for this site as well as many users and it is really excessive.
it feels like some cricket or football fans roaming a pub, turning the volume of the TV set, showing their games, to max and starting to sing their team's anthems. this is too much for a coffee corner!
although I don't want to disturb your enthusiastic discussion, I am kind of sick of 550 completely useless notification emails in only 6 days.
so please SCN, let us (individually) mute some discussions we are definitely not interested in. thx!

Anyways mute from my side.

Bottom Line: Dont be Work Holic ....Not every discussion should lead/realted to Work over ....If that the case...Really we need to MUTE....

Friends,
do not misunderstand me, I do not want to mute your conversation, I even think that it's great that we have a place here where we can discuss off topic issues.
I am just suggesting to have an ignore function for individual threads which do not fall into my interests and which make it impossible for me to 'hear' and follow the rest of the discussion in the coffee corner (when 8 out of 10 emails are about cricket). And i definitely don't want to stop watching the whole CC.
Anyways, I definitely did not want to discourage your excitement about your favourite topic these days and I do not feel to be entitled to (nor do I want to) jugde what's appropriate a topic in CC and what's not.
Kind regards,
anton
Hi Chaitanya,
Thanks for sharing your View....I am not the person who is saying this..Its all the Media with strong proofs making to say..
1) Every single match ends with last over....That too very intresting Prolonging
2) Already ICC informed and warned BCCI about this ..But BCCI saying its fine no issues and rejected the security provided by ICC .....what made to do so?
3) Lalit Modi The Head of IPL ...The one person with lot many hands in all kinds of criminal activities...and intrestingly the games are happening in SA the place where the crime rate is more...
We can say IPL first is really good as it is first But..now 10 min commercial break and all stupid things making lot of non-sense...

My fav for cup
the first of all chances are high for Rajasthan the predictions are based on till now the performances and the team mates joining
1) Rajasthan-> Watson addition advantage , Amit new bowler creating sensation(Now our Amit )
2) Chennai -> Hayden super form , dhoni captancy + form
3) Punjab -> Yuvi is strikign + Breetlee back in attack
4) Deccan chargers ->Now a days only luck is favouring for this team + Fisher man back into attacck.
Rest all Efforting teams ...

@ SAS What happened to DD?
In my Table i will pull KXIP down and insert DD.
Really it is going on an unpredictable path... we will see who wins..

For you kind information, Cricket Australia medical staff confirmed than Watson will not allow to fly for South Africa. He will fly immediately to Australia for scans and rehabilitation to recover himself for upcoming T-20 WC. Cricket boards of Australia are keener on Watson for WC instead of IPL.
Big damage for RR, but as long as Warnie drinks [Beer|http://www.hindustantimes.com/HighPl/StoryPage.aspx?id=736f1e76-e75b-4104-a1f4-c071f96790ba&Headline=Warnecaughtdrinking+beer?&Category=Chunk-HT-UI-IPLSectionPage-Gossip] on the ground we should not worry as much
Cheers
Deccan chargers ->Now a days only luck is favouring for this team + Fisher man back into attacck.
I disagree with your statement because they too had good players in team like
Adam gilchrist , gibbs ( may be out of form now ) , rohit sharma,dwayne smith,
R.p singh......(Also symonds coming to join them)
Descending....
First of all thanks dudes for giving watson information...thanks for the update which i am not aware..
Wow..Gautham why you stopped with ........i can remember new boy SUMAN in the dots that's it...and we can't relay much on those new players....and observe the list of wins almost every thing batting done by Gilli Gibbs i can say Gilli ,GIBBS for 10-15 overs then we can expect the things in our side...Rohit ,RP on heavy shoulders....
i am saying the team which relay on few players never have the qualification for the word CHAMPIONS.
which our AMIT team is eligible ..:)
@Anderson-> Well KK each one player can turn the match every one in high form .....i am sorry to say this but atleast for PREETHI hugs Players are playing like any thing
@amit This is IPL just for money for BCCI ,....all these small things for them.(Compartively Cheer leader costums everything is acceptable )

that is obvious..It can be seen in teams like CSK,RR,DD...Teams who play collectively and also if one player go down the other takes the responsibility.I hope this is the mantra of being in top of the table.The credit goes to the captains too who give responsibility to young players and make good strategy.
But on the contrary i think DD's captaincy work is not that much satisfactory.

Ohh..i really mistaken Andrew....i just wrotten wrongly
But intresting thing is ...What you said is accurate...but the brand value of KK remains the same u know
KK is the high brand value all over the IPL with 200+crores.
DD is the least with 174+
Regards
sas
Ps: Yes Today match is really intresting ..DD vS RR.Let see who will win

Nowadays Dhoni is proving his mettle match by match.Cool headed leader/performer.i love watching him guide the team to the top of the table.
Latest News:
Sorry for Warne lovers..he is going to miss out playing the remaining matches.Hope it is a BIG loss for RR,Shilpa Shetty & everyone who loves competitive cricket.

Yes I knew since the Eve of RR's last match. But still there is no official news of warne's absence in remaining matches. But yes he will miss next match which is against Mumbai Indians.
Physio is deliberately looking after him and hoping for some miracle treatment.
Cheers
Here you go:
[Injured Warne likely to miss Mumbai game|http://content.cricinfo.com/ipl2009/content/story/403996.html]
He can come back after a game against MI. Yet There is no official news from RR camp that he is out of IPL for 10days.The link you have posted I already went thru this. All are only just speculation!
Finger crossed

Hey Andrew!
As i said There were no news from RR camp yet.And you can see Gutsy Warne Is playing for us
Anyone is here who is still in worship of Dhoni instead of Wanie?
Is this the same guy who is man of the match with hamstring injury ?:)
Cheers
Well....I am so happy that my predictions completly Went wrong and DECCAN proudly lift the cup.the Team which stood last now on the TOP what a change due to captancy change....
AND is this IPL effecting our players to perform on 20-20 world cup?Seems the NZ practice showing some -ve sighns...
Regards
sas
How can you be happy?. Will you be happy even if your company wont won a project or Newzealand won 2009 T20-20 world cup.That's what my projection for 2009 20-20 world cup.
My projection for IPL 2009 is correct which DC (my local team won).
For 2009 T20-20 Newzealand will won.
Ps: If you are not good at it then don't predict.
Thanks,

@sas
My predictions too went wrong.Top 2 teams loose.Bottom 2 Teams win.Really a great resurrection.
T20 World Cup...will hope for the best from our Team.Hope our boys prove their mettle this time too.

Well phani intresting seems U like a engineering Student
i have fantastic example of engg student...
EXCLUSIVELY FOR ENGINEERING STUDENTS
Ques: Prove that 2/10=2
Ans : Normal college students insist Question is "OUT of Syllabus" or incorrect.
but
Engineering Student never know what is correct answer, he/she always think, we are Engineering student and so we should think differently and invent new miracles
So engineering student will solve this example as below
2=two,
10=ten.
therefore Two/Ten = Two/Ten = wo/en.
w=23,
o=15,
e=5,
n=14.
therefore
wo=2315=38
&
en=514=19
Therefore wo/en=38/19=2.
Hence Proved
FOR, Engineers " It doesn't matter ans kya hai, they say ans kya lana he."
English: "It doensnt matter what orginally the answer is, Thwy will ask what answer you want'
*Health Caution :Dont try to post martum the answer paper of the Engg students

@Yes Andrew really intresting and happy at end...and hope so..as per suggestion i dont predict

Hmm India not your home country ?
Anywayz, myself backing India (obvious).Whatever may be the result it will be fun(entertainment).
The qualifiers should be cake walk for India, but you never know
But the matches start around 10 PM IST, here's the [schedule|http://www.rediff.com/cricket/schedulet20wc.html].
hi
all the teams have equal chances of wining. also i wld say that the no:of teams are less the teams should be increased to total 16 so that there no repetativeness in the matches and hence wll increase the interest

Ha Ha Ha Asish!!
i m robbed too coz of that robbery :
Thats sounds pleasurely and thats wright!!
and IPL is great success and Now Bcci is Richie Rich.
Rajasthan is proven to be the consistent all the tournment and its is paid off...
we can say the two top teams reached the final and the Best one got the cup..
Though Man of the series is watson ...the real man of the series is Yousuf Patan...although he is inexperieced he has batted/bowled very well to all international players..and Now named as Lucky person for finals.
Now IPL completed and Now the boring days again started!!
Good bye friends.

Good prediction....But ugly on our side...really Aus shown their courage & trust on our indian batting line up and declared so early..Humm once again Tension tendulkar went in 49 .....
Well any way we are happy atleast india made the draw...
Best wishes
Sas
so yeah you can expect fireworks from them soon.
Completely disagree.
without any genuine spinner you cannot expect strong come back from Auzzies specially in sub continent.
Let me clear one more point about Punter as all cricket experts who taged him as most successful leader.... yes he was, but don't forget about contribution of Mcgrath,Warne,Gilly that time.
As statistics says out of last 63 test 37 times man of the match shared either between these three players.now the time has to come for Punter to prove his tag(best leader ever).
i guess he will not be able to sustain his tag anymore.
May be one reason of their shameful defeat is that this time Steve Buckner and Mark Benson not came with their squad
India has to prepare harder for the next game.
Australia has to prepare harder for the next game at Firozshah kotla(Its flat dusty track).I played few matches(U21) at same track from Rajasthan.
We already changed our gears up.
And see how Australian media reacts after Mohali defeats they are begging for Warne's comeback:
http://in.sports.yahoo.com/081021/139/6yu95.html

i JUST want to know Really is the right time to our senior indian cricketrs to take rest (Retire) at this time...?
No.
But we have to define phase of their retirement so that we can have their promising substitute like Rohit,Kaif,Yuvi otherwise may be we would face same situation like Auzzies as they are facing(Absence of Mcgrath,Warne,Gilly all lest Aussie at same time).
I still remember Terror of WI cricket in 1990 after that they are still declined their performance and not able to get back their image as like the time of Vivian Richards,Gary Sobers.....
So BCCI should define the phase of their retirement.
Just my 2 cents~
.I played few matches(U21) at same track from Rajasthan.
We already changed our gears up.
Interesting Amit.....Great honour to hear that our scn member is apart of indian cricket team.
I still remember Terror of WI cricket in 1990 after that they are still declined their performance and not able to get back their image as like the time of Vivian Richards,Gary Sobers.....
Thats True...Thats really making so much sense....
But my criteria is just allow the persons who are playing perfectly..Dont bothering of age ...all other circumstances...See For example...
Once upon time we have pardhiv patel who is recruted as indian wicket keeper in age of 16...Though if he make 25 runs a match ...Every one praised him saying of his age he is playing more than....
Every one watched him as Best future indian wicket keeper although he did so many mistakes he has given so many chances..saying he will done through experience...But what happen at last...
Dhoni came into picture and Now no wicket keeper in near bye for almost 5-10 years...
wHAT Happen to the experience gained by Patel....
So my intention is just currently who is playing well..Just procced them..Dont have much deeper look into future which cant be predicted exactly....

\Sas
Interesting Amit.....Great honour to hear that our scn member is apart of indian cricket team.
No dude I'm was never a part of team india, I played a lots of domestic cricket(Ranji from North zone) from Rajasthan(U21).but somehow couldn't continue my Future with cricket cause of studies.
i had more reasons to quit cricket,as you can see there is very less chance for Rajasthan players to get their place in Team India cause of major BCCI selection committee is from Metro cities.But exception is there like Mahi(Caption of team india).so i prefer to continue with studies.
But i still love cricket very much,if time allows i often watch every match no matters is it Zimbabwe Vs Bangladesh test match
i still remember when Kaif smashes 27 runs in my one over,that match was played at Savai maan singh(Jaipur) in '02
Over statistics looks like:2,6,6nb,4,4,4nb,0,1.

Hummm....Really yar...when i was small i wonder....why this beautfiul game is played by only few teams...Why all the rest of countries (like US , russia , china only) are not involving....
So many people in our india are die hard fans of this game (Includes u & me ) ......Although india losses we still watch for ever and ever..
U words are intresting ....Kaif....Is a test player...How can he hit that many runs? Is your bowling bad or your team fielding bad?? Which includes sixers as well
Regards
Sas
Ps: I think u did a mistkae by discontuning cricket....U know BCCI has one scheme that if any one palyed for our india atleast one game also they will pay life long per month 25,000....Which includes all the facilities as well......What u say ?

Thank God you are a better Abaper than a bowler.
But on serious note, even getting to Ranji's is a big deal if you consider the number of applicants waiting in the queue. Good on ya, Mate.
Keep up the good work..... in ABAP that is.

> It's not that we were beaten - it's that we played so badly ..
1. Indian fast bowlers could reverse swing - Oz bowlers couldn't
2. 2 Indian batsmen scored hundreds and a few got high 50s - Oz highest score for the match 69
3. Indian tweakers took over 10 wickets - Oz tweakers?!
And still you say that?! but any which way you look at it India won by 320 runs!
Hi Ravi
You've missed a figure of speech here. Graham is saying the worser point is not JUST that we lost, but that we never even looked like improving. Your points are all accepted, and indeed you would have to be blind to miss them. At no stage was Graham suggesting India were not legitimate winners. What he was saying was that we were legitimate losers and by all the evidence we will lose the next time.
Regards
Gareth
Edited by: Gareth Ellem on Oct 27, 2008 1:05 PM
We shook hands at the end of the game, didn't we? C'mon guys you need to breath easier.
I think the one player you guys are missing is McGrath, he used to be so damn accurate, knocking out the top order for the likes of Warnie to finish the last rites. Warnie was never a threat for India and unless you find another McGrath, I reckon it would be extremely difficult for Oz to hold on the crown..........
Well, what can I say other than wishing India go for the jugular in Delhi after all the
pitch is a 'gift to Kumble' where, though Binga is doing the hard yards, reverse swing may not work!
Anyway, today is Diwali, and people will be celebrating in India with gusto,
setting off fireworks, etc. Here's wishing everyone a Happy and Prosperous Diwali!
Yeah it reminds me of my childhood, we used to set these off right in
front of our house on the street. We would wake up at 3 AM to set off
our loudest 'bomb' and make a statement, I hope the Oz cricketers are
not too scared with this but I really want to see a good contest on the field from tomorrow not another one-sided game as in Mohali and Perth.
I find cricket to be a slow and boring sport. Of the popular sports in the world, this is the worst one.
Is it meant for slow and boring people?
However, I believe that the new format might make it faster and more interesting.
