tHe tEeeamS...The anAlysIS!
2007-02-23 19:18:00 It is 16dAys and 16 more hOurs to go b4 the world cup starts with 16tEams competing for the coveted trophy! Who'z gonna win it and who'z gonna miss it?This is the 9th world cup edition and this is the first instance when there is no clear favorite to win this cup. All the previous editions had a stand out favorite to win the cup, ofcourse it is a different story all together if the favorites really win the cup or not! Let us now analyze all the teams competing for the world cup glory.Let us first take a look at the bottom 8 teams in the competition. Scotland and Netherlands with Australia and South Africa in Group "A". It is tough to see any surprise upSet in this group though Scotland might be a team to watch out for the future! Bangladesh and Bermuda with India and Sri Lanka in Group "B". It is tough to see any surprise upSet in this group either but I would bet Bangladesh giving a tough fight with Sri Lanka! Now in Group "C", there might be a surprise upSet with both Kenya and ... More About: Analysis , The A , Anal
my India 15 for the meGa eVent
2007-02-09 23:20:00 sO tHe worLd cUP is fast approaching here is my 15 for the India n team....Batsmen:UthappaGangulySehwagTendu lkarDravidYuvrajDhoniKaif/KaarthickBowler s:Anil KumbleHarbhajan SinghZaheer KhanAjith AgarkarIrfan PathanMunaf PatelRanadeb Bose/SreesanthI would still consider Kaif ahead of Kaarthick just because he has the experience in the international arena and he'z a great fielder. ofcourse he'z handy with the bat and he has a decent track record on the west indies soil as well! There is no need for a second wicket keeper like Kaarthick in the team since Dravid and Uthappa can act as the back-up keepers if need be! If Kaarthick is considered solely as a batsman, I am sure even Gambhir and Raina would come into contention! But I would still consider Kaif ahead of Kaarthick for the carribean islands!On the bowling front, Sreesanth doesn't figure in my list, since he is very wayward! Sure he does have raw pace but still needs some supervision, guidance and maturity to get in to the ODI t... More About: Event , Mega , Vent
thE reasOn!!!
2007-01-14 07:34:00 So....another series is gone and the Indian team is back at the drawing board. With the world cup fast approaching, it is high time that the team management comes up with a settled 15 players.Let us keep the tEsT matches aside for a while and let's look into the ODI scenario onLy. To attain a winning combination there are a few things which are to be done but somehow our indian cricket team management keep making the same mistakes! Is anyone listening...is the BCCI or the Indian team management listening?yeS...finally ganGULY is back in the ODI team but should he not have been considered for the ODI team longtime back....ofcourse he was onlY one of the 4 who made more than 10,000 ODI runs! yes....he should have been picked for the SA ODI series. There is no loGic in picking up a player like Wasim Jaffer for the ODIs since he'z not going to be considered for the world cup anyways!!! Atleast a player like Robin Uttappa or Gautam Gambhir shud have been picked for the SA ODI series. I... More About: Reason 1, 2 |
