Why India lose match against Pakistan

September 28th, 2009

Pakistan blow past India by 54 runs in the 6th match of ICC champion trophy and qualifying in the semi final round.

Why India lose this match? What is the reason bating or bowling?

Indian bating is good Gambhir, Dravid and Raina playing very well. Indian team’s poor bowling display on as the reason for their defeat against Pakistan and say it’s a bowling pitch but if bowlers maintains there line or length its hard for Pakistan to create a big total

Idian batsman put up a good show but failed to make a big partnership. They got off a good start but didn’t capitalize on that.

 The other reason is that Pakistan bowlers exploited the conditions better. The Pakistanis bowled to a much better line and length and that was one of the reasons for Indian lose the match.

Dravid needs time to adjust in one day cricket

September 11th, 2009

Rahul Dravid has been included in an Indian squad for tri series in Srilanka and champions trophy to strenghthen the Indian middle order but it seems that Dravid was out of this kind of cricket for quite long time and he will need some time to adjust. The current innings which he played against Newzealand shows less confidence and he missed lot of balls despite no pressure on batting.

The question arises

Will he back to his form in champions trophy?

The answer totally lies how quickly he adopt the ODI cricket as it is totally different than test and domestic cricket despite he played IPL. He is an experienced player and the selection committee must have something in  mind to include him. If we see the Indian batting line the one can see lot of T20 basmen who impressed previously but very less figures for ODI cricket.

The tri series may help Dravid to back to his norm and play a good cricket for Indians.

Cricket is silent in India

August 20th, 2009

The most busy nation in cricket is India but right now at the moment no special or official cricket in India. There is no news for champions trophy squad too. The players are doing rest while some news are being circulated by local press regarding social life of Indian players. The most missing action for cricket fans is India Pakistan cricket.

Indians are really cricket mad. After cricket or beside cricket is bollywood, Tendulkar and Shahrukh goes together in media but right now Shahrukh seems to be ahead of Tendulkar becuase one can see Shahrukh in cricket news too due to his involvement in Kolkata Knight Riders team.

The Indians must be waiting anxiously for champions trophy which will be played in South Africa and South Africa is lucky for India because they won T20 world cup there.

BCCI help soccer in India

August 14th, 2009

BCCI  agreed to donate 5 million (about R39m) over the next two years to improve the socer activities in India. The BBCI take positive step in helping the financially weak soccer body for money needed to prepare the national team for the 2011 Asian Cup soccer finals in Qatar. “The BCCI will give 250 million rupees (5m) to the All-India Football Federation for the development of football in the country in the next two years,” the cricket board said in a statement. The BCCI, the richest sports body in the country, which earned around 222m in fiscal year 2007/8, has already set aside 11m for the promotion of other sports in India.

This is a positive approach by rich BCCI who has started contributing in other games to bring India into a sports culture. This is a love from cricket lovers to soccer fans in India. I think other boards like Srilanka, Pakistan and Bangladesh should also help hockey and football associations to improve the sports standards in Asia.
