INDIAN TEAM

Indian squad for the 2011 World cup is

The 15-member team is:

• MS Dhoni (C)
• Sachin Tendulkar
• Virender Sehwag
• Gautam Gambhir
• Yuvraj Singh
• Suresh Raina
• Virat Kohli
• Yusuf Pathan (all-rounder)
• Zaheer Khan
• Ashish Nehra
• Munaf Patel
• Praveen Kumar
• Harbhajan Singh
• R. Ashwin
• Piyush Chawla

They might play with 5 batsman, 1 WK, 1 BIG hitter and 4 bowlers.

The batsman in the team will be as follows

· Sachin

· Sehwag

· Gambhir

· Kohli

· Raina

To be honest this must be top five. YUVRAJ doesn’t deserve to be in top 5. He can fight his place with Yusuf. The next two Batsman may be

· MSD

· Pathan/Yuvraj

Yuvraj can’t fight with neither of Kohli and raina. As they are the best in asian pitches. So he can have a place fight with Yusuf. Its time to earn a place in INDIAN team rather than getting a place in name of credits

The Bowlers may be picked as below

· Harbhajan

· Zaheer

· Praveen Kumar

· Nehra

As there is a batting power play, any team won’t go with more spinners , unless the pitch looks terrible slow which is unlikely to happen in this world cup. Also playing Munaf in eleven will cost INDIA the match. If Harbhajan fails or picks injury then India will play with ASHWIN. I want to see Ashwin playing in any one match , as he deserve to be in WC.

India is sure favorites to reach last four. That will be cake-walk. But from then on winning two matches to take cup will be difficult

First World Cup of the decade

To my Knowledge, I can now remember 4 Cricket WC’s (1996, 99, 03, 07), as I started to see cricket from those days. Of those 1996 World cup produced the best one. How many could forget the semi-finals of the 1996 WC between Australia and West Indies. In the last 5 Wc’s , an Asian team has managed to enter to the finals. As far as records are concerned 92 World Cup has been most un-predictive world cup as Pakistan clinched from no-where. Thanks to Wasim bhai and Imran Khan for their performances in the finals.

As far as 2011 world-cup is concerned, it may not be as difficult for non-Asian countries to dominate unlike previous venture. After IPL’s , playing in Indian sub-continent pitches has become easy for non- Asian teams. So this may be no favorites filled World cup . Also the present form of the OZ suggests that their chances are little less compared to their previous attempts.

To be honest , this is going out to be batsman friendly WC. Some of the things that has to be worked out are

· There is a mandatory ball change in 35^th over , which will make reverse swing out of equation

· *The flattest INDIAN wickets ever

· *Lack of quality Fast bowlers

· *3^rd BATTING PP

As there are some matches even in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, its going out to be a fun filled WC . Every team irrespective of form has selected 2 or more spinners. For instance South Africa has selected Imran Tahir , in their squad who has an incredible domestic record , but is uncapped player .

There can be most number of 300 + scores in this World cup. As time nearing ,we can expect a run rain soon J

BOSS ENGIRA BASKARAN review-NANBENDA

If SMS made youths to laugh,BEB makes every body to cry because of its tracks. Director Rajesh has delivered even his second movie as a comedy entertainer.He has used the best way of story narration in Boss Engira Baskaran (Humor).The highlight of the movie is the director's humorous way of narration. The crowd is kept entertained continuously by the dialogues of Santhanam. Arya himself, has done a great job with Santhanam. Their combination has worked out well for the movie. Boss Engira Baskaran contains single line quotes and dialogues from Santhanam which will definitely be a part of regular mocking conversations among friends and colleagues. The dialogues and timing are excellent which makes us enjoy the movie.
Yuvan Shankar Raja as usual has done a great job with his music. The music complements the movie sensibly. But cinematography of each song is not as good as film and comedy. Nanbenda wordings comes atleast 6 or 7 times but in any situation it doesn't bore us.

BEB is such a nice comedy perfect family entertainer

Team for australian series

What made selectors to take zaheer khan in upcoming austrailian series. Even in CLT20 he didn't live up to his expectTions. He still need some rest to be part of a test squad.

Dhoni's eleven for the series is as follows
Sehwag
Gambhir
Dravid
TendulkAr
Laxman
RainA
Dhoni
Mishra
Ojha
Ishanth
Zaheer( as selectors picked him he is in the eleven)


The only worry in this might be pujara. I don't understand the reason behind the selection of him in this time where he won't find a place in the teAm. They should have pLayed him in the recent Bangladesh test match. Now imagine if he plays against Aussies then who knows it might be end of cArrier.

I don't understand why bhajji is Being picked. He was dropped from last series against Lanka but now picked in the squad with out doing any thing in domestic or in CLT20.

If veeru gets going what is there in the match except him!


Last but not least , Common wealth games from october, so is this series really need at this time? BCCI should think of it and act in future

Bushrangers - My pick

Bush rangers started this CLT20 edition poorly but they once again proved why they are champion in Australia in their match against wayamba. eventhough it's not certain whether they will go to semis they have won 3 out of 4 mAtches ,where one has to feel sorry if they are not in semis.
In this match bush rangers proved why they are such a unit when fielding depArtment is taken into consideration. The runout which got the wicket udAwTte is athletic and energetic. This McKay is such a guy who pull out Miracles. I remember his slow delivery which took tendulkAr when he was 175 in that ODI where australians managed to pull of victory in whisker.
But still I feel there is some one who is completely missing in this line-up. That is none other than the giant Cameroon white . By the way he plays no player can be such an asset to Australian team. Many thinks he is over-hyped . But frankly speaking he doesn't fit in royal challengers line-up as he fit in Bush rangers.

Things that worry alot
*)if superkings win against warriors then most probably victorians are out
*)if superkings looses match then most probably there might be match between two aussise team yet again this year which can be bad for them

But still i support victoria bushrangers

Sparkling things ICC champions trophy$$

• Unexpected things started to happen even fifty 0ver match.(England beating both sri lanka and south Africa ,Kiwis beating lankans)
  
• Australia proved us that they are still a nice team by getting more singles rather than hitting boundaries
• some worrying factors

1. Even in a green and grassy pitch fast bowlers failed to get momentum
2. Spinners including Bhajji failed to get wickets in a spinning wicket
3. Boring one day cricket
4. batting team mostly not taking third power play in correct time,which some time cost them the match.for example India failed to take third power play when raina was on song against pak.
5. An unnecessary debate over strauss decisions on Mathews and smith.He acted differently in these two occasions
6. CROWD really disappointed CRICKET
7. Worst telecast ever by STAR network.They are putting lot of advertisements instead of showing match.Some commentators also pathetic.
   

• Last but not least """BAN ODIs"""
