2009-09-19 19:05:00
After a long gap of more than 14 months, we will see two arch rivals India and Pakistan face to face in international cricket. The group A match of ICC Champions trophy scheduled on 26th September is certainly one of the most awaited matches this year for cricket fans. With no hope of bilateral series for at least 2 years, India vs Pakistan matches will now be rare and these type of tournaments are only the hope of seeing them together.India and Pakistan last played in Asia cup in June 2008. After Mumbai attacks, Pakistan's visit to India was canceled. So, this match is of great importance for every cricket fan. India - Pakistan matches are different from other cricket matches. Either its Ashes or India vs Australia, no match can surpass the excitement of India vs Pakistan.I hope that the Champions trophy match will be a very close encounter. Either India wins or Pakistan, the match should not be one sided. It should be really exciting and thrilling. The 2007 World Twenty20 final i...

Before the start of Champions Trophy, India plays an unofficial ODI match against New Zealand as a practice match.

Lax performances in one day series could cost England dear
2009-09-18 12:52:00
I will freely admit that, following England ?s dramatic and euphoric Ashes test victory, I looked upon the proceeding One Day Internationals as a bit of an anti-climatic sideshow.Curiously placed between the test series and the Champions Trophy, on the fringes of the English autumn, to say it was like a case of ?After the Lord Mayor?s show? is an understatement.Flash back to 2005 and the one day series was before the test matches, nicely wetting our appetites ahead of the main event. I can understand the scheduling this time round is maybe to do with the hastily re-arranged Champions Trophy at the end of the month. But to ensure interest is maintained, I can?t help thinking they should return to their pre-test slot in 2013.I sensed that feeling from the crowd from game one and as each inevitable defeat followed I could imagine the players thinking to themselves: ?we don?t care, we?ve won the Ashes.?Added to the general malaise hanging over the series was England?s poor one-day reco...
