Ashwin's answer to Gambhir.

I think Gambhir would shut up now instead of rebutting or criticizing team mates' opinions. He unnecessarily shot back on Ashwin's opinion on Mumbai cricket pitch.

Ashwin replied fittingly with a century. He was the top scorer in the Indian team filled with Gambhir, Sehwag, Tendulkar, Dravid, Lakshman, Kholi and Dhoni!

Ashwin never said he is not ready to bowl on Mumbai cricket pitch. He just expressed his experience of bowling there and how the wicket responded. Gambhir sounded hurt.

I like to see Gambhir batting positively. That's all.

Thank you Ashwin for an entertaining batting. Keep it up.

English cricketer Patel resorts to ancient trick.

If a cricket team just vanquished the world champions, naturally their pride would be high on the world. However, what if the same team starts losing to the same world champions with in a few weeks? Their pride will hit the dirt. Oh yes, it is natural and understandable too.

The next natural thing would be for any such team would be to pull up their socks and try to play a better cricket. That is what a true sportsman would do!

Oh no! Not us says the English cricket man Samit Patel. I am sure his name would not ring a bell among genuine cricket lovers. Therefore, let me introduce him to you. Samit Patel plays for England cricket team and bats somewhere lower.

I don't know how he bats but he surly can play cricket with his mouth. He declared grandly that the entire English team is going to abuse the Indian cricket team on the ground. The euphemism for that brave act is 'sledging'.

He is quoted saying that England would carry on sledging in an attempt to "get the Indians out of their comfort zone." (Source: http://cricket.yahoo.com/cricket/news/article?id=item/2.0/-/story/cricket.ani.com/two-defeats-hands-india-forces-england-resort-sledging-20111019/)

Of course Mr.Patel, we don't expect anything more from you.

--->Yeah, that's him-Samit Patel

Thanks to Chennai Super Kings.

Thanks to Chennai Super Kings for the meek surrender to a team that bothered none so far in the Champions League 2011. With their exit from the tournament, CSK has helped thousands of its ardent fans to stay away from television thereby saving them time and money.

I will never watch any cricket match hereafter which is going to save me thousands of valuable hours. Already, millions of Indian cricket fans were forced to lose their interest due to Indian cricket team's spineless performance in England.

The poor performances of CSK, RCB and Mumbai Indians would make the crickets stands empty. The revenue drop will hit the BCCI and their pride will take a severe beating.

Goodbye cricket and Goodbye Indian cricket team!

Murali Vijay's disappointing show in South Africa.

What is Murali Vijay doing in South Africa? His string of low scores in ODI is baffling considering his ability. I think he is not playing his natural game.

I wanted him to perform well after seeing his century plus score in the recent T20 championship. But he has not justified the faith of the national selectors and fans like me.

I would like to see him give way to Sourab Tiwary, an exciting ODI batsman. In the absence of Shewag, Gambhir, Schin, I expected Murali Vijay to play responsibly. He could see that in Sachin and Laxman.

I think Virat Kholi is all confidence and dynamic. He is playing well. Rohit Sharma too be given more chances to prove his immense mettle.

Hi, Mitchell Johnson, did you hear?

This time, it is Mitchell Johnson who tried his mouth in mental teasers. He was reported in the media that he is going to bowl short pitch ball to Sehwag to prevent him from dominate the Aussie bowling.

While none of the members of Indian cricket side anything about how they are going to play against the formidable Australian cricket team, the media published story after story of Aussie players press release.

Nathan Hauritz bullies Sachin Tendulkar in a typical Aussie fashion. I really enjoy these trivia.

So, what does it all indicate? Do you read between the lines?
All the people of Madras says, "அந்த பயம் இருக்கட்டும்".

Sharne Warne asks Aussies to bat orally.

Image via Wikipedia

Sharne Warne can't take any more of the English onslaught in the cricket field. He is sure that Australia can't beat England any more. He can't tolerate this humiliation.

He finds no way to motivate the Ponting's bunch to play and win. So he resorted to oral aggression. He asked his compatriots to get aggressive at least orally and attack the England cricket players by throwing .....

Oh, no, not again! Not from you Sharne Warne- we have so much respect for you.

Indian Cricket Captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Mahendra Singh Dhoni born 7 July 1981 in Ranchi, Bihar is an Indian cricketer and the current captain of the Indian team. Initially recognized as an extravagantly flamboyant and destructive batsman, Dhoni has come to be regarded as one of the coolest heads to captain the Indian ODI side. Under his captaincy, India won the 2007 ICC World Twenty20, CB Series of 2007-08 and the Border-Gavaskar trophy 2008 in which they beat Australia 2-0. He also lead the team to their first ever bilateral ODI series wins in Sri Lanka and New Zealand. Dhoni has also been the recipient of many awards including the ICC ODI Player of the Year award in 2008 (the first Indian player to achieve this feat), the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award and the Padma Shri, India's fourth highest civilian honour in 2009. Currently, Dhoni is the highest ranked ODI batsmen on the ICC Rankings List.

Dhoni studied at DAV Jawahar Vidya Mandir, Shyamali,(now the school is known as JVM , Shyamli,Ranchi) Ranchi,Jharkahnd where he initially excelled in badminton and football and was selected at district and club level in these sports. Dhoni was a goalkeeper for his football team and was sent to play cricket for a local cricket club by his football coach. Though he had not played cricket, Dhoni impressed with his wicket-keeping skills and became the regular wicketkeeper at the Commando cricket club (1995 - 1998). Based on his performance at club cricket, he was picked for the 1997/98 season Vinoo Mankad Trophy Under-16 Championship and he performed well. Dhoni focused on cricket after his 10th standard.

Dhoni was nominated as the vice-captain of the ODI team for the series against South Africa in Ireland and the subsequent India-England 7-match ODI series. Dhoni, who received a 'B' grade contract in December 2005, was awarded an 'A' grade contract in June 2007. And also he was elected as captain of Indian Twenty-20 Cricket Team for the World Twenty20 in September 2007. On 2 September 2007 Mahendra Singh Dhoni equalled his idol Adam Gilchrist's international record for the most dismissals in an innings in ODI by catching 5 English players and stumping one. He led India to the ICC World Twenty 20 trophy in South Africa with a victory over arch rivals Pakistan in an intensely fought final on 24 September 2007, and became the second Indian captain to have won a World cup in any form of cricket, after Kapil Dev.

The Living Legend In World Cricket Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar born April 24, 1973 in Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, is an Indian cricketer widely regarded as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of cricket. In 2002, Wisden ranked him the second greatest Test batsman of all time next only to Sir Donald Bradman, and the second greatest one-day international (ODI) batsman of all time next only to Sir Vivian Richards. In September 2007, Shane Warne, the world-record breaking Australian leg spinner, rated Sachin Tendulkar as the greatest player he has played with or against. Sachin Tendulkar was the only player of the current generation to be included in Bradman's Eleven, the dream team of Sir Donald Bradman, published in his biography. He is sometimes referred to as the Little Master or the Master Blaster.

Tendulkar is the highest run scorer in both Test matches and ODIs, and also the batsman with the most centuries in either form of the game. The first player to score fifty centuries in all international cricket combined, he now has more than eighty international centuries. On October 17, 2008, when he surpassed Brian Lara's record for the most runs scored in Test Cricket, he also became the first batsman to score 12,000 runs in that form of the game, having also been the third batsman and first Indian to pass 11,000 runs in Test cricket.

He was also the first player to score 10,000 runs in one-day internationals, and also the first player to cross every subsequent 1000-run mark that has been crossed in ODI cricket history. In the fourth Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia, Tendulkar surpassed Australia's Allan Border to become the player to cross the 50-run mark the most number of times in Test cricket history, and also the second ever player to score 10 Test centuries against Australia, after only Sir Jack Hobbs of England more than 70 years back. Tendulkar has been honored with the Padma Vibhushan award, India's second highest civilian award, and the Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna award, India's highest sporting honor.

Australian Cricket Captain Ricky Ponting

Ricky Ponting

Ricky Thomas Ponting (born 19 December 1974) is a professional cricketer who is the current captain of the Australian cricket team in One Day International, Twenty20 International and Test cricket. Ponting also represents the Tasmanian Tigers in Australian Domestic cricket, a side he plays for intermittently due to international commitments. He is a specialist right-handed batsman, slips and close catching fielder, as well as a very occasional right-arm medium pace bowler.

Ricky Ponting Pics

Ponting reached international standards at a young age for a batsman, making his One Day International and Test debuts in 1995 at the age of 20. However, his progress was not unhindered. He lost his place in the team several times due to lack of form and discipline issues, before rising to the One Day International captaincy in early 2002 and becoming Test captain in early 2004. In recent years, he has been consistently ranked in the top-ten batsmen in both One Day International cricket and Test matches in the official ICC ratings, and has been ranked number one for substantial periods.

I am proud of you Ganguly.

Thank you very much Ganguly. Though I missed see you score a century against the Aussies, I am immensely happy to see that big smile on your face. You had the last laugh. It seems Vengsarkar was too eager to come forward with his appreciation.

I don't know why the entire India is so much against you. You deserve definitely something better. I only hope you carry on unruffled for the rest of the series.

You are the only Indian captain who always stood for the India's pride and prestige. You gave tit for tat for several captains of other countries. Most of your predecessors always bowed down in front of them.

I salute you dear Ganguly. March on. India needs you.

Badrinath Vs Kohli.

So, what is state of mind Badrinath? You made a big hue and cry over the issue of your selection (non-selection?) to Indian cricket team for the just concluded SriLanka tour. You were furious over the selection of Virat Kohli.

Now, he has proved his mettle and justified his selection. This really means he is more talented in you. But you stuck to your favorite number 6 in two innings.

I sincerely wanted to you to shine but you disappointed me and thousands of Madrasis.

This will be a lesson for you not to show your disappointment over selection issues and make a diplomatic statement in future if such a situation arise. Don't be always led by media who are out get the words out of you.

Shame on you Harbajan.

I am a big fan of you Harbajan Singh. I appreciate your fighting spirit on the cricket ground but definitely not off the ground.

What you did yesterday to Sreesanth is deplorable. You behaved like an illiterate. You proved what Hayden told about you.

You have betrayed the Indian cricket team's support to you when you were charged of serious allegations in Australia recently. Just because you are a senior cricketer, you had a junior hit a cricketer; I dare you do the same against Afridi, Bret Lee or any other cricketer who stared at you.

You have brought disgrace to India. You just don't have sportsman spirit at all. If you can't take defeat graciously, just quit playing cricket man; Indian team won't miss you.

Oh, I just read that Sreesanth has forgiven you. So do I.
