Re: India Vs England If they can repeat today's show against South Africa tomorrow ,then Newzealand will be left out on net run rate.Surely,Southafrica will keep the required run rate in mind even if India bats first and gets to a big score.Either ways, if Southafricans win tomorrow ,then...

Re: Who will be next Captain of India? Now that Dhoni has been announced the captain of the Indian team for both T20 and one day internationals , we will see how he goes about it against the England match that's scheduled for later today.For both teams,it's a must win match.With Newzealand...

Re: What you feel before going out to the middle Before I go in to bat ,I keep telling myself to watch the balls outside my off stump and not flash at them till I hit a few proper shots.Once I score my first run ,I feel more confident and the nervousness goes.I am not a regular bowler.

Re: Dhoni named India one-day captain Ganguly is a tough character.I too think he'd make a better captain of the Indian test team.He was doing well as a captain even while going through that bad patch.The last time Sachin Tendulkar was captain ,the pressure of captaincy affected his batting and...

Re: Australia v Pakistan Match Thread Another big upset.The new guy Haq came good today inspite of their initial collapse.I felt the Pakistan bowlers did well during the final overs to restrict Australia to below 170.Seems like two semifinalists are now confirmed-Newzealand and Pakistan.My take...

Re: Will ODIs survive the onslaught ? I think that's a great suggestion! 20-20 could be used to rope in newer teams into cricket.As proven in the T20 worldcup,it's easier for the underdogs to turn the tables in this format.I'd have never believed that Zimbabwe could defeat Australia :o and that...

Will ODIs survive the onslaught ? With the shorter version of the game taking over ,I wonder what is in store for the one day internationals.Does anyone think that the ODIs will slowly be replaced by the more popular 20-20 ? Why would organisers and sponsors want half full stadium for an ODI...

Re: OK to taunt Murali says MacGill I agree with Austwic.On field sledging has become a common practice and won't affect a professional cricketer.I understand the crowd wanting to get into it to see how a cricketer reacts to it.A few days back Pietersen was booed by the Southafrican crowd in...

Re: The greatest fielder of all time! There is no doubt in my mind about this one.The greatest fielder to ever have stepped on a cricket field has to be Jonty Rhodes.I call him the flying saucer.If you remember how he used to grab the ball and fly at the stumps ,then you'd know why.Of course...

Re: Free Hit Rule Yeah, 'exciting' is the buzz word.I don't see the free hit rule vanishing anytime soon from the 20-20s, but it might need some time to make it's way into the ODIs.Why can't we get a free hit for the wides too ? You bet I am excited about it,lol.Sometimes, it seems that we are...
