India bundled out for 76 runs in Ahmedabad Test
2008-04-05 07:14:00 AHMEDABAD: South Africa's pace bowlers ripped through the much vaunted Indian batting line-up at the Motera Stadium on the city's outskirts on Thursday, bundling the hosts out for a paltry 76 runs in 20 overs in the second cricket Test between the two sides.( Watch: India all out for 76 runs at Motera )Led by Dale Steyn and Makaya Ntini, the Proteas sent the Indian innings spiralling into an abyss from the first few overs of the match.Indian captain Anil Kumble, who passed a late fitness test, won the toss and elected to bat first on a pitch that had more than a tinge of green on it. With Sachin Tendulkar out with a groin injury, India went for the extra bowling option, picking Irfan Pathan in his place.R P Singh kept his spot, despite appearing to be short of both form and fitness in Chennai. South Africa made no changes from the side that got them a comfortable draw in the Chennai Test.Ntini drew first blood for his team by having opener Wasin Jaffer caught at slip by South Afri...
Advantage rests with us Kumble
2008-04-02 12:07:00 Skipper Anil Kumble is hoping for a better wicket going into the second Test in Ahmedabad. "On hindsight, I would have played (Virender) Sehwag and Rahul (Dravid) and had seven bowlers," Kumble said, replying to a question whether he required five specialist bowlers on the flat M.A. Chidambaram Stadium track. "That is something we can think of, but at the end of the day if there is something for the bowlers, the four bowlers would have certainly taken advantage." Has Kumble passed on any instructions to the curator in Ahmedabad, where the next Test will be played from Thursday? "My only message for the team is to win, which I don't give to the groundsman," said Kumble. "Whatever he prepares, we go and play on. I am hopeful it will be an even contest between bat and ball." Even South Africa skipper Graeme Smith was hoping for a "balanced" contest. "You've got to give credit to the batsmen. They made it count," Smith said. "Obviously, you would love a wicket that allows a little b...
Motera curator promises sporting track for 2nd Test
2008-04-01 13:56:00 Virender Sehwag, Rahul Dravid, Neil McKenzie and Hashim Amla turned out to be the heroes in Chennai as runs flowed from their bats in the first of three Tests. However, there was one factor working against the bowlers ? the pitch. The Chepauk track just did not have anything in it for any bowler throughout all the five days. Both the skippers ? Anil Kumble and Graeme Smith ? criticised the pitch after the match and hoped for a balanced contest between the bat and the ball in the rest of the series. It is learnt that Smith has heavily criticised the strip in Chennai in his report to the match referee Roshan Mahanama. As a result, as both the teams move to Ahmedabad for the second Test, the pitch at Motera remains the talking point. And the 22-yard strip in question bears a look exactly opposite to the one in Chennai. When both the teams reach the stadium for training on Tuesday, the bowlers? eyes, especially that of Ishant Sharma and Dale Steyn and Co., will light up at the sight o...

2007-11-06 18:58:00 If the Indian selectors now don't recall Rahul Dravid into the team then it can be known that there are some other reasons other than the form of Rahul Dravid which dropped him from the team. Because the inning played by Rahul Dravid for Karnataka against Mumbai in the Indian domestic season. Dravid seemed to be in a superb touch as he scored 214 of 330 balls including 21 fours and four sixes.Dravid didn't seem to be an out of form batsman as Dravid started off with a fluent drive through covers off Iqbal Abdulla and continued to bat positively as the new ball was taken in the fourth over of the day.

2007-11-03 10:21:00 After a display of poor form in recent matches, Rahul Dravid gave up the captaincy in order to concentrate on his batting.

Who knew Sachin's name will not crop up even if BCCI wanted a change. So this the short cut. Who cares for scruple? At least Greg Chappell did not.2. It served Greg Chappell because he was assured of the "His Master's Voice" for till 2007 World Cup. It was also made sure by Rahul Dravid's appointment till WC 2007.3.
