India chased Pakistan to Twenty2o Final 2007-09-23 00:29:42 First Semi Final
-New Zealand v Pakistan
, Result Pakistan won by 6 wickets Second Semi Final - Australia v India
,Result India won by 15 runs I don't have the words to explain how much I enjoyed cricket today, the match between India and Australia was a breath taker. All the time I was just sitting on chair and didn't even blinked my eyes in fear of missing any moments of cricket. Its one of those match where India outplayed opponents in every department of game and took the charge of match from earlier part of match. All the Australian bowlers who were looking dangerous and economical, faced the other side of coin, thanks to brilliant batting of RV Uthappa,MS Dhoni and specially Yuvraj Singh, who is in top form from last couple of matches. He started from the word go and keep hitting the ball out of park, in the process he achieved for what he was quite excited, I mean the longest 6r of tournament. He hit B Lee for six which went 119m far, biggest till date in Twenty20 cricket world

Real Champs vs Chokers!! 2007-09-22 07:04:16 Watching Indian cricket from since my childhood to till date, I have seen Indian cricket being diged and crop to heaven many times. As twenty twenty is totally new thing for me too, I was not so sure about the performance of Indian Cricket team. Indian skipper MS Dhoni too said "We are just enjoying the format and not worrying about the result. Not many peoples are hoping too much from us for this particular tournament", Still Indian Cricket team is in semis and preparing to take of mighty Australian. Indian team in recent past have not done anything great when we speak about their performance in main matches of tournaments. I remember only NatWest series win (please do let me know if I skipping something here.), where they won in final chasing a world record target. On all other stages they have failed to win fans and most of the cricket experts pronounce them as "Chokers", today is the chance for this young team to sweep that label.As far as Australian cricket team is concern, they h Read more:Champs
Being a Captain - Yuvi's Dream 2007-09-21 07:23:47 Watching news channel which was showing the "exclusive" interview with our Yuvi's father, who was full of motions during that 15 minutes clip. Reporter asked him about his state of mind (I guess Yuvi was taking it for granted that he will be Indian Captain
after Dravid?), he said he is disappointed but still happy to give his best for the country. "He is looking off colour all this Twenty Twenty world cup, I can see that on live picture". Huh... If Yuvi plays like this while off colour, everyone should be happy to see him all the time being off colour. Yuvi's father added " I am talking to him daily ten or more time and keep telling him, don't worry your time will come." But he always replies "You always say like this dad, still I know that I will be captain one day." Come on Yuvi, being a captain is not everything, lets show us more of your colours by winning more and more games for India. Let us hope that finally your turn will come, before you grow few gray hairs. Read more:Dream

Its shows that there was something special about this cricket wicket!As they have played a lot of matches in this wicket they knew that under lights its going to be a fast bowlers paradise, anyway he lost the toss and MS Dhoni was quite wise to sense that too.For first couple of overs of Indian inning G Gambhir and V Sehwag tried to repeat what they have done day before here SM Pollock and M Ntini disabled their dreams by getting three wickets in quick sessions.

Might be this is the best match of this world cup, it had everything, big score, more boundries, good fielding and total over 400 for the match. That's what we call Twenty20!!MS Dhoni after winning the toss chose to bat first as expected be back up his thinking of trusting batters in twenty twenty format. G Gambhir and V Sehwag did a caustious start(2 overs) and then break free, its look like that started their inning of last match hitting boundries in every over. V Sehwag specially in dangerous mood and hit every English bowler to all parts of ground. They seperated in 15th over when CT Tremlett bowled him behind his legs, Sehwag trying to hit the sweep over fineleg.Both of them put on 136 for the first wicket and made a good plot for next batsmens,RV Uthappa didnt stayed long, he too bowled by CT Tr Read more:England

who have good bowling line up with SM Pollock and M Morkel in good form. Kiwis need to keep a check on GC Smith,HH Gibbs and JA Morkel who are the heros of their previous wins. Main strength of South Africa
n team is their performance as a team, they have big hitter down the order and have many all rounders who can chip in with decent bowling performance if required. Like New Zealand

. Making his debut to international cricket on Dec 23, 2004 against Bangladesh at Chittagong, no one had thought that he will become Indian captain one day.

With 84 ODIs and 20 tests under his belt he today become the captain, contenders for the same post were Sachin and Saurav, but selectors turn their back to old men's and chose the future."Dhoni is a good captain and it is the right time to groom him," Vengsarkar said after he announce the news.The selectors also chose a 15-member squad for the first three matches of the ODI series against Australia recalling pacemen Irfan Pathan and off-spinner Harbhajan Singh into the team.The squad, which will have Yuvraj Singh as vice captain, has no place for pacemen Ajit Agarkar and Munaf Patel, while Rohit Sharma has also

On Dravids decision Sharad Pawar told reports ""He has discussed the issue with me twice. I think we need to respect his decision". Its only Rahul Dravid himself who know the absolute answer to a question that everyone in the cricketing world was asking on Friday but there have been several indications that India's best batsman of the past few years has been feeling the strain of being in the country's most high profile job. Several times over the past year, Dravid had told people in private that while it was always an honour to be India captain, the

There was a time when I though India were short of 20-30 runs when they managed to get only 141 of their quota of 20 overs. I was quite happy to see India bowl well in first couple of overs and managed to get a wicket of Imran Nazir who was throwing the bat to everything like Pakistan want to finish the match much early then expected and he paid the price. RP Singh bowled him on 7 and he made way for Kamran Akmalwho looked dangerous for some time. Indians fielded like never before and I am sure you must have surprised to see a Indian team fielding like that. You you will see the match highlights you can easily watch them saving at least 10-15 runs because of their excellent fielding.Indian Inning Openers failed, Mohammad Asif (4 for 18) bowled bri Read more:World
