Sohail Tanvir deserves to be in the Pakistani test side

The real Pakistan i strengh-fast bowling was really weak against the South Africa ns in the first test. Pakistan was playing only with two fast bowlers- Umar Gul and Mohammad Asif. They are brilliant but couldn't do any damage in the test. This showed the defect of playing only with two fast bowlers.

Lists of S Sreesanth's aggressions along with videos
2007-10-03 18:43:00
S Sreesanth is just crossing his limits in aggression in the field while playing cricket. He just forgets the value of sportsmanship while in the field and reacts like mad person. His aggressions are sometimes very dangerous to the opposition player like in the case of beamer against Pietersen.S Sreesanth's aggression in the second ODI between Australia and IndiaThe second ODI match against Australia showed some of these aggressive activities of S Sreesanth. Sreesanth had verbal argument with Andrew Symonds and after he appealed for a run out which was complete nonsense. When Sreesanth dismissed Symonds he threw the ball up in the air like a mad man which could cause injury to himself. Not only this S Sreesanth reacted with other Australian batsmen in these way crossing his limits.Click here to watch the video of S Sreesanth's aggressive activities against Australia in 2nd ODIThis is not the first such activity of S Sreesanth.

2007-10-03 18:29:00
The Sri-Lankan star batsman, Sanath Jaya suriya is going to be the first player in cricket to play 400 ODI matches. Jaysuriya will achieve this milestone against England where he will be playing his 400th match. Jayasuriya has scored over 12,000 runs in ODI and over 300 ODI wickets which is itself a record. He has made a lot of records in his career. This new milestone will add one more to the 38 years old Jayasuriya's record.India's Sachin Tendulkar is just below Jayasuriya in playing most no. of ODI matches. Sachin has played 397 ODI matches just 2 less than that of Sanath. Inzamam-ul-Haq of Pakistan, Wasim Akram of Pakistan, Mohammad Azahaurddin of India and Rahul Dravid of India follows them. The most surprising fact is that they all are from sub-continent.Sanath Jayasuriya for me is one of the greatest players of all times. He is a real under-respected hero in cricket. Though 38 years old Jayasuriya is playing brilliantly and is fit and fine. I hope he makes more records..

2007-10-02 22:20:00
India was not quite lucky again this time as there was no rainfall to save India from the Aussies. Again this time in the second ODI it was Brad Haddin to embarass the Indians with his solid inning of 87 not out of just 69 balls. This solid inning of Haddin included 8 fours and 3 sixes.Haddin batted at no.6 and came to the crease at stage when Australia were 4-160 in 31.1 overs, team already rescued by man in form Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds from a stage of 66-3.Run rate was quite good and it required a great finish from there to get a decent total. Haddin batted till the inning and guided the score to 306 for 6 in 50 overs. Haddin along with Symonds punished the Indian bowlers specially the spinners throughout the match. India in reply just became all out on 222.Haddin is a second choice in the Australian team as a wicket-keeper in the team. He got the chance to play in this match and in the first ODI as an specialist batsman after the injury of Ricky Ponting. He made superb ...

The most underestimated cricketers in modern cricket
2007-10-01 18:53:00
I find a lot of cricketers who are very talented and capable but are not given enough respect and sometimes not even enough opportunities. Some players who don't play well are praised which they don't deserve. Some of these players deserve a lot of respect and have the capability of being super star. Here is a list of some unsung heros of world cricket at present times:1)Sanath Jayasuriya : One might think he he not underestimated but I think he deserves a lot of respect. There is only one man in ODI who has scored more than 1100 runs and has taken 300 wickets and its Jayasuriya. Jayasuriya for me most be the no.1 player in ODI cricket. Players like Lara, Ponting and Tendulkar are given a lot of respect. But I really think Sanath Jayasuriya deserves to be above all of them.2)Abdul Razzaq : The Pakistani all-rounder recently retired from world cricket when he was not selected for world twenty20. That's a very dissapointing decision and its the result of not knowing the real calue ...

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a poor Captain for India
2007-09-30 09:03:00
Though it can hurt a lot of India n fans, it is true that the current Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not a good captain. This fact was just proved by the first ODI between India and Australia where Australia scored 307 and India were saved by the rain. Dhoni was poor in choosing the bowlers to bowl and setting the correct field position. He did many mistakes as a captain.First Mistake Dhoni did was in choosing the right bowler to bowl. Dhoni introduced Irfan Pathan late in the Inning. Pathan could get a lot of benefit from the pith and could swing the ball. But Pathan was not well utilized by Dhoni.Second Mistake Dhoni did was not Introducing Irfan Pathan in the last overs of the innings. Pathan was bowling well and had given only 38 runs in 8 overs at an economy of 4.75 when others were at over 6. Dhoni instead of giving ball to Pathan bowled from RP Singh who had given runs at the rate of over 6 and hadn't taken any wickets.Third Mistake was in choosing the correct field. ...

Imran Nazir played a vital inning of 59 of 42 balls against New Zealand in the semi-final of world twenty20. Nazir though didn't seemed to be fully fit in the match hit great shots which included 5 sixes and 4 fours. Nazir required the runner from the beginning due to which he sat at the crease and tried big shots. He started with a solid cover drive and hit glorious shot throughout the inning. For me he didn't seemed to be the player who was struggling though out the other matches of world twenty20.Imran Nazir is such type of player who is very aggressive. He showed his aggression in the match but didn't loose his way. He tried big hits and was very successful. Pakistan was not getting a right opener after the failure of the vice-captain Salman Butt continuously. They did the right thing by dropping him. The way he played in the matches of twenty20 seemed as he was playing test cricket. The partnership of Nazir and Hafeez has solved the problem of opening batsmen for Pakistan.No...
