Team India Banned From Using Twitter On Australia Tour
2012-01-09 12:51:00 Virat Kohli shocked the cricketing world when he let loose the finger to the Sydney crowd during a match against Australia. As India were on a losing streak and Virat was very upset with the comments that the Sydney crowd made during the match. His crude gesture resulted in increased Tweets and Facebook shares. I am sure that shortly this pic will be a meme. Now we hear that the Indian management Down Under has banned the use of Twitter or any other social media channel for the Indian players after Virat Kohli took to Twitter to justify his actions to his followers. We all know that the relations between India and Australia as countries have never been very great due to all the student violence that had occurred in Australia some years ago. Sometimes, no one knows from which angle the resentment comes but we can surely say that the Australian crowd wasn’t acting very welcoming either. Virat tweeted that, “I agree cricketers don’t have to retaliate. What when the crowd say...

Team India split between leadership and senior pla
2007-04-03 16:08:00 Greg Chappell's report to the board is expected to be scathing in its criticism of the senior players including Sourav Ganguly, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Harbhajan Singh Of all the challenges the Board for Control of Cricket in India has faced in the recent past, this could turn out to be the toughest one. When the working committee of the BCCI meets on April 7, following the meeting of the review committee the day before, they will have to choose between the leadership of the Indian team - Greg Chappell and Rahul Dravid - and the senior players. The division is sharp, complete and has reached a point of no return. Cutting to the chase, the issue is a simple one. There's a coach who wants a team he can take control of, and mould according to his vision. There are a group of players who would prefer a coach they can control. And there is a board that would prefer to have control over both of these factions. From all accounts, Chappell's report, due to...
10 Reasons for Team India?s Declination
2007-03-30 10:17:00 by Srikrishna ChintalapatiAt this hour of deprivation, most of us undoubtedly are not interested in any sort of painstaking introspection. As a sincere lover of the game, I have decided to take some time to think through what went wrong and how can we renovate this? This article gives you an acute overview of ?what went wrong? from a 360 degrees perspective. Here are the 10 major reasons why team India had bumbled in the world cup.1) First and foremost - Captain: Because, leadership often commands more than being NICE!As I have been calling and cribbing for a long time, the fundamental problem with Team India is this fundamentally inefficient captain. I am one among millions in the world who unanimously agrees that Rahul is "A nice guy (who couldn't finish first), I stand corrected he can never ever finish first.My dear friend, leading a side does commands more than being NICE, I am Irrefutably confident to throw out a statement- "Good 'people/resource' managers in this world are...

World Cup Cricket 2007- team India
2007-03-10 13:52:07 The team in blue is buoyant this time around in the Caribbean with two series win under its belt at home against the Lankans and the Windies. The batsmen are in good nick and those injured are back in the squad. The team’s batting would revolve around its trio- Sachin, Dravid and Sourav who would lay the foundation of success in the Caribbean. The bowlers too are finding the rhythm and there is a certain variety in the spin duo of Kumble and Harbhajan with some part time options in Sehwag. Sehwag though has still not proven his form and has one more chance to redeem his ’sword edge’ aggression in the practive game against the hosts on Friday. Led by the positive captain Rahul ‘ Wall’ Dravid, the team looks in good shape in this tournament. Strengths- Solid experainced batsmen, good finishers, mixed pace and an loaded spin attack! Weakness- Slow movers on the field, Core Rahul Dravid The captain leads from the front when the team stares at adversity an...

Sourav Ganguly returns to team India
2006-12-02 16:11:17 Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly got a chance to extend his international career when he was named in a 16-man squad for an upcoming three-Test series in South Africa.Ganguly's career seemed to be over after a row with coach Greg Chappell last year, when he was sacked as captain before being axed from both the Test and One-day squads.The stylish 34-year-old batsman played his last Test against Pakistan in Karachi in February this year and his last One-dayer was against New Zealand at Harare in September 2005.A brittle batting display by India in the ongoing five-match One-day series in South Africa, which they trail 3-0 after four matches, led the selectors to plump for the experienced left-hander."We decided to go with Ganguly's experience because our batting has failed in One-dayers. The youngsters have not been able to adjust to the bouncy wickets in South Africa," said chief selector Dilip Vengsarkar on Thursday.Ganguly, who has scored 5,221 runs in 88 Tests, said he was ho... |
