Not just Phasing out. How you win matters!

India's poor run with the Australian tour has raised a lot of questions. One was on Dhoni's captaincy and the next, would be the famed batting line up. Not to forget, Sachin has played reasonably well in this series. People around the world wanted him to score his 100th ton and the media was the main culprit that makes the master batsmen feel the pressure. Coming to Lax and Dravid. Dravid has been bowled the most number of times in this series. Laxman, looks like missing the genius touch this time.

Dhoni himself said, that he was running out of ideas. When ever aussies started scoring runs quickly, he was not able to stop the run flow nor he placed the fielders in the right position to pick wickets, and one more thing to be noted India hardly made aussies to bat in their second innings. In the recent test match, Aussies played with 4 pacers and Indians too followed the same strategy,dropping Ashwin, not to forget Ashwin was a consistent run getter in this series for India and he has scored a ton against West Indies recently. Dropping someone like him was not good and bringing in Vinay was not the right decision. Vinay is still young,he has been giving a lot of runs and not so consistent too.

So now, with three tests over, MSD has been banned from playing 4th test for slow over rate and report says Gautam Gambhir and Ishant Sharma were the main culprits for the slow over rate. Now Sehwag to lead, Indians will certainly look to play for the pride.

Not to forget England is also struggling in Dubai against Pakistan. This proves a lot. Even a NO.1 team will struggle in away matches.

The Biggest Loss!! Sri Lanka

Ok! that doesn't mean they are the worst. Once they were the world champions during 1996 event, still they play some good cricket all around. The present runners up in world championship of cricket. The bad day started right from the day Dilshan took up the captaincy from Kumar Sangakkara. As far as i think, Dilshan is not smart enough as Sanga or Mahela when it comes to the captaincy. Sanga did really well and managed a spot in the finals of the 2011 world cup. He has been consistent till then, never knew the reason for stepping down. If he had stepped down for not winning the world cup, then that is really stupid. He needs to take his captaincy back or the broad should decide someone else or rethink of giving it to Mahela.

The Biggest loss for their team came yesterday when they lost to South Africa in the first match of the ODI series. The home team batted really well to score over 300 with run machine Amla scoring a ton and Kallis getting another half century. Batting second, the lankans lost their openers early without scoring, followed by the big guns Mahela and sanga getting out cheaply, finally the whole team were bundled for 43.The Only positive hope for the Lankans should be, Lasith Malinga, took a five wicket haul and if he continues to bowl the same, things would be easy for them in the up coming matches and batsmen need to get their form back!

Good Luck Lanka.

I was a bit surprised. Checked my blog's page rank and that showed my blog had a page rank of 1 on the scale of 10. Maintaining this would a big time achievement! hope me doing some posts regularly. 2012 would be a year of blogspot blogging!!

Back in 2012!!

Hi ppl,

Not even a single post in 2011 dint blog for the whole year!!But happy to back. Happy blogging every one! This is my first post for the year 2012. and hope for more posts this year! at least one post per month and yes, mostly that would be on sports and more over on cricket!

India has been struggling 2-0 in Australia. This would have been a bad start, but yes still two more to go. Even if we manage a draw in both the tests or win a test at least, that would be a great achievement! Hoping for the best. 2012 would see some big names retiring from the world cricket and lots of record to be broken.
