Shane warne a mix of an idol Cricketer and an idol Criminal

It is said that if you want to follow a man then follow his good things and keep his bad parts aside.Shane Warne who is the father of spinners could not balance his cricket life and his personal life.Shane warne should learn from Sachin Tendulkar who have achieved unbelivable feats on cricket ground and on the other hand have been successful to make his personal life an example for other cricketers.
Shane warne have been involved in many criminal activities like taking drug before a world cup match,drinking beer during IPL 2009 and many more.This were some events which do not increases prestige of Shane Warne as a Cricketer.Those parents who will be watching cricket match when Shane Warne could not control himself to take beer filled glass from a fan will feel guilty to let his child be a cricketer.In a survey in Australia Shane Warne was the 95th Austalian who should not be trusted.Note that he was the only cricketer in that list.

What ICC is doing to promote cricket?

ICC is continuously increasing the no. of Associate and Affiliate members,but what they are doing to convert a Associate country to Complete members?.Zimbabwe which is a complete member of ICC will be a Associate member in future if cricket in Zimbabwe will not be appreciated by ICC.Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe is very much responsible for ruining country.You know you cannot withdraw more than 8 American dollar from your account at a time.Zimbabwe officials takes fees in American dollar but Cricketer gets fees in Zimbabwe dollar which value have been immensely down.So who will stay there for ruining his life?.During World Cup 2007 a cricketer named Anthony Ireland told He did not get at least time to read the contract.An executive told him that if you will delay then some other will be selected.Anthony have now left Zimbabwe for better cricket opportunities.Zimbabwe's present condition is not hidden to anyone.
Let's talk about BCCI.Not promoting cricket in India by BCCI efficiently,the conditions led to foundation of ICL.But now ICL have been overlayed by IPL.IPL chief Mr.Lalit Modi told to donate sum of rupees for blast in Jaipur during IPL 2008,but he still have not donated that money and someone have filed a case against him for cheating.BCCI is cricket's richest organization ever,but they are spending just 1% of their total income on cricket.BCCI is not using it's full capabilities to promote cricket in India.

Two times out in a hattrick

You are going to believe or not this is record that one batsman was out two times in a hattrick.This was event in series in 1844 between England and Cant in Canterbury.Cant bowler William Clarke who was throwing underarm bowls ended the inning of Cant by taking the wicket of John Fege.Cant then Follow on and William Clarke started first over and first took wicket of Ned Wedman and then of John Fege.This time fege had come one down for batting.

Crucial moments for MS Dhoni

The person who was continuously reaching the new heights of success finally could not bear the expectations of his fans.Many cricket specialist says that it is the end of Dhoni's Honeymoon.First who are criticising Dhoni let them know that,It was Dhoni's boy who first made Australians too feel that they may not be no.1 in near future.Plus point about Indian cricketer is that they are not choker like South Africa.
In Dhoni's captainship India have won world T20 2007,Commonwealth series against Australia and some other serieses.Dhoni have given a chance to critics by not attending PadmShree award function.Dhoni is new guy his boys were continuously consistently performing well except for some series like Asia Cup and World T20 2009.In World T20 2009 everybody knows Dhoni's guy were capable of winning but because of lack of captaincy experience he trusted wrong persons(Ravidra Jadeja).Indian cricket fan expect much from their cricketers,but they should understand anyone cannot perform consistently according to their expectations.So hope that in near future Man in blue will comeback in their form and will perform well.

What is in nickname?

There are many cricketers having nicknames in cricket.Do you know Stuart Clarke have nickname Sarfraz?,Because of throwing ball like him.Many Australian cricketers have nicknames.Ricky ponting's nick name is 'Punter'.Adam Gilchrist's nickname is 'churchie',because after a cricket match a cricket fan approached Gilchrist and said, "Mr Eric Gilchurch can I have your autograph".Glen McGrath have nickname 'pigeon',which his colleagues have given because when he came first to play for New South Wales;he has very narrow legs like birds.Brat Lee have nickname 'Oswald',because during a match while reading name of playing XI by mistake Captain Steve Waugh read Oswald instead of Brat Lee.Brad Hogg had already left the job of Postman but he was famous as 'Postman' between colleagues(Now he have taken retirement).Brad Hodge is called 'Dodgewall' because of throwing dodging balls.Michael Clarke is famous as 'Pup' because of young impressions on his face,He says,"At least now change my name".New Zealand cricketer Peter Fulton is called 'Two meter peter' because of his tallness.

Don't take more than a second to read this short name

The cricketer who is having longest name in cricket history famous as 'Bula' is
Ilikena Lasarusa Talebulamainavaleniveivakabulaimainakulalakebalau.He was in the Fiji Team which toured New Zealand in 1947-48 and 1953-54.He had hit total two centuries both against Canterbury,one in each tour.He is currently alive at the age of 87 years.

Got that ball

Gilchrist is the first to hit 100 sixes in Test Cricket.When Gilchrist hit 100Th six in Test,he desired to find that ball,but the problem was he had hit the 100Th six outside the ground.An Indian journalist took the photograph of the man taking the ball when it got outside the stadium,he did not notice where he is going with ball and what he is doing.Later that man was identified by that photograph.His name was John and he had kept that ball in box then buried in his neighbour's garden.He gave that ball when he was requested.

Remembering old days of cricket

Here I am going to take you to event in West Indies when West Indies bowler were called killers.This was Test series between India and West Indies.Nari Contractor was batting and Charlie Griffith was bowling,those days Charlie Griffith was known for doing fast bouncers goaling the head of the batsman's.The ball that hit Nari was just short of good length,and Contractor tried to turn away as the ball rose sharply.... well, it was a very bad injury, but it ended well, relatively and Contractor got away without any permanent harm, but for a steel plate inserted in his head.At that deadly moment West Indies Captain Frank Worrell donated blood to Nari Contractor(as his blood group was matching with Nari C.).That day is now remembered as 'Sir Frank Worrell Day' in India.Nari Contractor never played Test cricket again.

Cricket is dying or evolving?

It is very much critical to say that T20 cricket is giving new life to cricket or it is demolishing traditional cricket.There was a time when any batsman was hitting sixes and that was remembered by cricket fans over the month and years.Now cricket is just limited to fours and sixes.The older cricket fans will not support new format of cricket that is T20.First One day cricket came then T20 and more will be coming(and later match winner will be decided by toss winner).The main advantage of T20 is,in this modern life people have no time for watching the long format of cricket that is Test Cricket,so they watch T20 which produces results in 3-4 hours and entertains also.Now a days crickets also have shown professionalism,one recent example was SL cricketers who told their Board that they will select to play in IPL 2009 rather than playing against England for their country.ICC have limited T20 matches for a team to only 5-10 in a year.

We did what you had not expected


The team which was not properly balanced,not expected to be even in Super Eight of ICC World T20 2009,not known which players will be in last playing XI,conflicting with it's internal matters has finally done the admirable job.Abdul Razzak who later joined the squad by terminating his contract with unsanctioned ICL shown one of the greatest return ever.On the other hand Shahid Afridi batted with responsibility and patience.He together with Shoaib Malik did not given any chance to SL for any miracle to do.This win will regreen the cricket in Pakistan

Who will make their way for final of World T20?

Now it's final decisive moments for qualifying team for ICC world T20 final.According to current form I think West Indies and South Africa will make their way for final as this two team comprises of world class hitters.Sri Lanka is not favourite among T20 fans because except for two or three player in their team there are no hitters.West Indies's win in semifinal will largely depend on Chris Gayle's batting but they also have Dwayne Bravo who is capable of giving non deterministic
results.Anyone cannot expect that Pakistan will qualify for final.
On the other hand there is label attached with South Africa that they are choker(missing there way in decisive moment).So let us see who will raise ICC World T20 2009 trophy.

Why did Adam Gilchrist succeed in IPL 2009?

Everyone must be willing to know how Gilchrist made it possible to lift IPL 2009 trophy for Deccan chargers.Gilchrist just followed the formula for success that was suggested to him by Steve Waugh.Steve told Gilchrist that never get too high when you got small success and never get too low when you fails.You must have noticed that during IPL that he gave just smile when his bowlers where fetching wickets and also doing same when some of his batsman performed well.Gilchrist left the formula for anyone who is wishing success in any field.
