Mr. Rajan Bala, do you hate Indian cricket?

Mr.Rajan Bala, the "esteemed" sports columnist seems to hate the Indian cricket team

Mr.Rajan Bala, do you support India or "Greg Chappell"?. I understand that Mr. Greg Chappell is a close buddy of yours and has supported your journalist career by leaking information about Indian cricket at the right time and giving you "juicy" insights into the Indian cricket team

But hey, you seem to be supporting a self-styled "Guru", who has systematically destroyed Indian cricket and criticizing the Indian cricketers who are heart-broken that their country has not qualified for the cricket World cup

Kick Mr. Greg Chappell out of Indian cricket

To be fair to Greg Chappell,Greg Chappell has not deliberately destroyed Indian cricket. Greg Chappell just seems to be incompetent and amazingly has no repentence for his stupid experiments with the Indian cricket team.Greg Chappell's experiments meant that no one in the Indian cricket team was ever aware of his presence in the team and definitely not his batting position

Mr.Rajan Bala, your friendship is worthy of being recorded in posterity,but please dont put your friendship before Indian cricket

Bangladesh Vs Australia World cup cricket- Rafique and Mortaza need to come to the party

Bangladesh Vs Australia World cup Super Eights cricket match

Not many people think that the Bangladesh cricket team can win the Bangladesh Vs Australia one day international cricket match. But the Bangladesh cricket team has a chance of winning the match against Australia if they play their "A" game.

The Bangladesh cricket team need to bowl thirty overs of spin

The only chance for the Bangladesh cricket team is the ability of their spinners,Rafique and Razzaq. Captain Habibul Bashar needs to use spinners for at least thirty overs in the Super Eights World cup cricket match against the Australian cricket team

With due respect to Mashrafe Mortaza and the other Bangladesh seamers- the Australian cricket team,especially Gilchrist and Hayden are probably getting prepared to hit Mortaza out of the attack right now

Mohammed Ashraful needs to bat up the order in Bangladesh Vs Australia World cup Super Eights cricket match

Mohammed Ashraful's century against the Australian cricket team had set up the Bangladesh cricket team's only win against Australia. To win against Australia, bold moves are needed and Bangladesh would do well to show off their bold intentions by pushing Ashraful up the order

In summary,the Bangladesh cricket team have a chance against the Australian cricket team if they employ bold tactics rather than being on the defensive

Sachin Tendulkar should never be dropped

Sachin Tendulkar should never be dropped from the Indian cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar should never be dropped from the Indian cricket team. It hurts and pains me to hear about Sachin Tendulkar being summarily dropped from the Indian cricket team.

Sachin Tendulkar is a crunch time player for the Indian cricket team

The most common complaint about Sachin Tendulkar nowadays is that he is not a crunch match cricket player and tends to succumb under pressure.But, that argument about Sachin Tendulkar is really flawed

The perception about Sachin Tendulkar's so-called failures for the Indian cricket team is influenced by two factors- Our large expectations from Sachin Tendulkar and his batting position

Since Sachin Tendulkar opens the Indian team's cricket innings or bats at number four,any good innings by Sachin Tendulkar is not noticed and taken as part of the course and nothing extraordinary.

Have you ever wondered what would happened if Sachin Tendulkar had failed in those cricket innings when he scores centuries?

If Sachin Tendulkar scored a century for the Indian cricket team against Bangladesh, people would have said that Sachin Tendulkar scores only against minnows

Sachin Tendulkar is now in a non-enviable lose-lose scenario in Indian cricket.If Sachin Tendulkar had scored against the Bangladesh cricket team and if the Indian cricket team had scored a facile win, the Indian cricket media would have taken potshots at Sachin saying he picked an opportunity to score against a minnow cricket team

Sack Greg Chappell from Indian cricket team Now

Greg Chappell should be sacked as Indian cricket team's coach job Now

The Indian cricket authorities are too tolerant of Greg Chappell's antics and blame games. The Indian cricket board should see thru the so-called Guru Greg's antics and fire Greg Chappell immediately

Greg Chappell - an expert at blame games

Not only does Greg Chappell seem to be a great control freak but also adept at blame games. Apparently, Greg Chappell has spoken to Rajan Bala and told Rajan that Greg Chappell is not to blame for the woes afflicting the Indian cricket team-This time , the Indian cricket team's problems are the fault of the entire Indian senior players,including Dravid,Sehwag,Sachin and Saurav

Greg Chappell goes on to suggest that the ever-failing Suresh Raina should have been in the Indian cricket team- Yeah, let sycophants be part of the Indian cricket team

It is never Greg Chappell's fault

In Greg Chappell warped brain, it is never his own fault- first it was Saurav Ganguly's fault, then the fault of the Indian cricket media, now its the fault of the entire Indian senior cricketers

Repair the damage to the Indian cricket team by firing Greg Chappell now!

Sachin Tendulkar gets a phone call

Humor to ease the pain for Indian cricket fans

I am a Sachin Tendulkar fan and will always be one- but in view of his recent failure in the India Vs Sri Lanka crunch match, I can resist adding this joke

A phone rings in the Indian dressing room

Sehwag picks up the phone- Mrs. Sachin Tendulkar is on the other end of the phone inquiring about Sachin. Sehwag tells her that Sachin has just gone to bat.

Mrs. Sachin Tendulkar says that she will hold the line since Sachin should be back soon

Greg Chappell, last "foreign" coach for Indian cricket?

Greg Chappell should be the last foreign coach for the Indian cricket team

I am not being chauvinistic when I say that Greg Chappell should be the last truly "foreign" coach for Indian cricket.

When I mentioned "foreign", I was referring to Greg Chappell's inability to understand Indian culture and try to work within the mindset of the Indian cricket team, the Indian cricket fans and the Indian cricket media

Unlike Greg Chappell, John Wright was almost an "Indian" coach

Unlike Greg Chappell,John Wright was loved and respected by the Indian cricket team members, since John Wright knew and understood the cultural sensitivies of the Indian cricket team.

The Australian methods of motivation employed by Greg Chappell were bound to fail with the Indian cricket team. Just look at John Wright's performance with the Indian cricket team - a World cup finals, beating the Australian cricket team in India and drawing against the Australian cricket team in Australia

Greg Chappell and maybe Sunny, need to learn from Steve Waugh's comments

Greg Chappell should learn from Steve Waugh's insightful comments about the cultural differences between the Indian and Australian cricket teams. Steve Waugh has rather insightfully pointed out to the respect expected by the Indian senior cricket players, the class differences apparent in the Indian cricket team's inability to carry their own kit and more

Whats more, Greg Chappell should have realized that in any job, it doesnt make sense to abuse any stakeholders- Greg Chappell's rude behaviour against the Calcutta crowd should have been enough to have thrown him out of Indian cricket team.

No Australian crowd would have allowed Greg Chappell to remain coach after his rude behavior against the Calcutta crowds!

Well,Guru Greg Chappell is unlikely to do well in Australia either as a coach

Sack Greg Chappell from Indian cricket team

Greg Chappell should be sacked from the Indian cricket team

Greg Chappell should retire from coaching the Indian cricket team, in fact Greg Chappell should retire from coaching.Period

Dropping Greg Chappell - the best experiment

Greg Chappell, the self-styled "Guru",experimented with the Indian team and batting lineup for over 18 months- the Indian cricket board, should experiment with the coaching position now by dropping Greg Chappell

Greg Chappell seems quite shameless

While Inzamam and Woolmer resigned from their posts after Pakistan's quick exit from the cricket World cup,Greg Chappell seems very shameless and is still looking to extend his infamous stint with the Indian cricket team

Why does the Indian cricket board tolerate this rude,shameless and worthless coach?

As Kapil Dev remarked - Who is Greg Chappell and why is he given so much prominence

In short, the BCCI should get rid of Greg Chappell immediately and start re-building the Indian cricket team

Pakistan cricket team out of cricket World cup!

The Pakistan cricket team is out of the cricket World cup tournament,2007

Pakistan cricket team have lost to Ireland and are now out of the cricket World cup in the West Indies

Who can the Pakistan cricket spectators blame for the defeat of Pakistan?

Who should the Pakistan cricket loving public blame for the defeat of Pakistan in the cricket World cup? Is it the fault of Inzamam, who couldnt motivate his team, or Younis who couldnt accept the captaincy of Inzamam, Shahid Afridi,who got himself banned at a crucial time or Shoaib Akhtar and Asif, who missed a great World cup cricket opportunity

The Pakistan cricket loving public should put the blame squarely on the Pakistan cricket board!

The Pakistan cricket board deserves the blame for the debacle of the Pakistan cricket team not even reaching the Super Eights- the mess up with Shoaib and Asif, the lack of clarity on captaincy, and discipline issues with Bob Woolmer were the cause of the World cup cricket disaster

Cricket World cup shocker: India and Pakistan out of World cup cricket?

India and Pakistan are on the brink of being out of the World cup cricket tournament

The Indian cricket team has made 191 all out against the unfancied Bangladesh cricket team in the Group match of the cricket World cup

The Indian cricket team struggled on the slow pitch at Trinidad against both the pacemen such as Mortaza and spinners such as Rafique. The Indian cricket team seemed tentative and approached the cricket ball with undue respect and now find themselves with a small total to defend on a reasonably good pitch

Pakistan cricket team struggles against Ireland on a seamy pitch

The Pakistan cricket team is definitely on the brink of the biggest cricket disaster in their history - The Pakistan cricket team is now struggling at 130/9 off 43 overs against lowly Ireland, who have bowled like champions

The Pakistan cricket team however still has a chance in this key World cup cricket match since the pitch is seamer friendly and Umar Gul and Rao Iftikar could wreck havoc with the Ireland cricket team

World cup cricket 2007- Will the favored Pakistan and Indian cricket teams crash out of the cricket World cup?

Indian cricket team losing to Bangladesh in World cup cricket group match?

Indian cricket team is struggling against Bangladesh cricket in the World cup cricket Group match

The Indian cricket team is struggling at 125/4 off 37 overs against the unfancied Bangladesh cricket team

The Indian cricket batsmen were tentative to start with and soon lost Sehwag - playing without moving his feet again

Uthappa showed promise for the Indian cricket team but was soon out prodding at the ball outside the offstump

The Indian cricket batsmen are treating the cricket ball as if it is a live grenade

The Indian cricket team are running scared of the cricket ball and only gingerly touching the ball with the bat

The Indian cricket team soon lost Sachin Tendulkar as he tried to force the pace for a change, but his current amazing weakness against the spinners was exposed as he was caught behind of the foxy Rafique

Indian cricket team's only hope are Yuvraj and Dhoni in Group match against Bangladesh cricket team

Yuvraj Singh seems to be in fine form for the Indian cricket team and he seems to be the only hope for India along with Dhoni to follow next. Yuvraj and Dhoni need to power the Indian cricket team to a score of at least 225 runs to make a match of this India Vs Bangladesh Group match of the cricket world cup,2007

Indian cricket team could be out of the cricket World cup if they lose this opener against the Bangladesh cricket team and time is running out!

Soon,

Bangladesh cricket team may beat India in World cup cricket Group Match

Indian cricket team may lose to Bangladesh cricket team in World cup cricket tournament

The Indian cricket team has a chance of losing the first Group match of the World cup cricket series in the West Indies. The Indian cricket team faces the Bangladesh cricket team who are no minnows to World cricket and appear to be in great form

Bangladesh cricket team could beat the Indian cricket team in the slow pitches of the Caribbean

The Indian cricket batsmen could struggle against the Bangladesh cricket team spinners such as Rafique who can exploit the slow pitches of the Caribbean and make the Indian cricket batsmen struggle

The Indian cricket team could face upto three spinners in the match against the Bangladesh cricket team at Trinidad

The Indian cricket team could be out of the World cup cricket tournament

The Indian cricket team should be careful not to lose against the Bangladesh cricket team. The Indian cricket team is obviously a better team than the Bangladesh cricket team but in a one-off match at the cricket World cup, surprises could occur.

The Indian cricket team should play their natural game and should win against the Bangladesh cricket team in the Group match of the cricket World cup

The Indian cricket team should not get bogged down against the Bangladesh cricket team or unnecessarily try to slog early. The Indian cricket team should realise that at most West Indian cricket pitches, 250 runs is the ideal cricket score that is quite hard to chase

An Indian cricket team with Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid should not lose in the first match of the World cup cricket tournament

The Indian cricket team have traditionally been slow starters in past World cup cricket tournaments , and should not let the expectations of the Indian supporters make them play an unnatural game.The Indian cricket team has experienced players such as Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and Anil Kumble, and these great players should stand up and not let past mistakes happen

Incredible,England cricket team can win the cricket World cup

England cricket team can win the cricket World cup in the West Indies

The England cricket team can win the cricket World cup. Surprised? Here are 3 reasons why the England cricket team is one of the favorites to win the cricket World cup in the West Indies

England cricket team has a surfeit of allrounders for the World cup cricket tournament

The World cup cricket tournament has a common characteristic - The winning World cup cricket teams have truly great allrounders.

The current England cricket team has two really good allrounders in Andrew Flintoff and Collingwood. Flintoff is of course, the England cricket team's key player and one of the best allrounders in the cricketing world today and Collingwood has recently struck form for the England cricket team

England cricket team in a team in great form

The England cricket team has recently ended the Australian cricket tour in great form beating the Australian cricket team in the triseries one day international series,just before the cricket World cup.

Past World cup series have shown that the World cup cricket tournament is an extremely fickle tournament and form definitely matters-There isnt much time to recover from bad form and world cricket teams need to build the winning habit within a span of one or two months during the world cup cricket tournament

The England cricket team has a great combination in the cricket World cup

The England cricket team has good batsmen, good fast bowlers, a classy spinner and a couple of good allrounders

The England cricket team players like Flintoff have great potential and Flintoff is just one match away from making this 'Freddie's World cup' cricket tournament

In summary,GameCricket.com thinks that the England cricket team has a great chance of winning the World cup cricket tournament

Did Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar take drugs?

Did Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar take drugs?

Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar will not play the cricket World cup,2007.The official Pakistan board alibi is that Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar are injured and cannot make it to the cricket World cup

Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar injured at the same time?

Talk about coincidence!The Pakistan cricket board claim that Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar are injured and cannot play a single match of the cricket World cup

When players like Oram talk about amputating their finger in order to play the cricket World cup, the excuse of Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar seems pretty lame

Akhtar and Asif-How widespread is drug taking by international cricketers like Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif?

We are not naive enough to pretend that Akhtar and Asif are the only drug takers- Cricket is definitely another endurance sport that probably has quite a few international sportsmen to enhance performance,but cricket authorities such as the ICC do not seem to be seriously looking at curbing this drug taking menace.
Every World cup,a popular cricketer is made a scapegoat,last time it was Shane Warne and this time its the turn of Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar

What about the matching fixing practice?.. Well, the ICC is not taking this menace seriously either
