Bill Johnston,another great Invinsible cricketer down

Bill Johnston, member of the Australian Invincibles cricket team is no more

Bill Johnston, a key bowler of the Australian Invincibles cricket team of 1948 is
no longer with us. Bill Johnston was the joint leading wicket taker in the 1948 Australian
Invincibles cricket tour of England

Bill Johnston was a multidimensional left arm bowler for the Australian cricket team

Bill Johnston was a anomaly in the age of specialization. Bill Johnston started his career as a
slow left arm spinner but on the 1948 tour of England, he adapted himself
to become a fast bowler. Towards the end of his career, Bill Johnston again reverted to spin

Bill Johnston, a fast bowler with no temper

Bill Johnston had a temperament that was very much unlike that of the
current Australian cricket team. Tiger O'Reilly referred to Bill Johnston as a bowler with
a single flaw- Bill Johnston had no temper!

Bill Johnston belonged to that unique breed of bowlers, a multidimensional talented
successful Australian bowler with a cool temperament

Kevin Pieterson is the new face of England cricket

Kevin Pieterson has a unorthodox approach that is good for England cricket

Kevin Pieterson epitomizes the new England cricket spirit, keeping in mind the traditional dour and correct batting by former England batsmen like Geoffrey Boycott. Kevin Pieterson has shown that a correct technique and playing in the V is not always the best thing for England cricket

Kevin Pieterson's double century in double quick time

Kevin Pieterson has slammed a test double century against the West Indies cricket team. Kevin Pieterson once again demonstrated his brand of ruthless hitting , typically from the front foot against the young West Indies cricket bowlers , as he scored 226 runs in double quick time

While the current West Indies cricket team may not boast the best bowling attack in international test cricket, Kevin Pieterson has once again demonstrated that he can not only score runs but also score them rather quickly

Kevin Pieterson's double century should hopefully inspire the other potential great, Freddie Flintoff to get his act together for England cricket's sake

Sachin Tendulkar has the last laugh

Sachin Tendulkar always has the last laugh in Indian cricket

Sachin Tendulkar has scored two consecutive test centuries against the Bangladesh cricket team and hopefully quelled the anti Sachin Tendulkar brigade for some time. Sachin Tendulkar proved once again that he is after all one of the greatest test cricketers of his generation

Sachin Tendulkar's centuries against Bangladesh- Please dont say that it was only Bangladesh

Sachin Tendulkar does not care about the opposition or any specious arguments by the so called cricket experts.

Why is it that Sachin Tendulkar is criticized whether or not he scores against the Bangladesh cricket team. When Sachin Tendulkar failed in the World cup one dayer against the Bangladesh cricket team, the cricket critics said that Sachin failed against the Bangladesh cricket minnows.

When Sachin Tendulkar has scored two consecutive centuries against the Bangladesh cricket team, the argument is going to be that Sachin Tendulkar is taking advantage of playing minnows like the Bangladesh cricket team to further his records

What is Sachin Tendulkar supposed to do?Maybe next time Sachin Tendulkar should hit a century in one test and get bowled for zero in the second test so that he satisfies both kinds of cricket critics!

Sachin Tendulkar's test cricket centuries mean that it is time for Ian Chappell to eat his words

Ian Chappell's arguments for Sachin Tendulkar's retirement were weird in the first place. Ian Chappell felt that Sachin Tendulkar needed to retire from Indian test cricket simply because Sachin was not longer the best in the cricket world.

Sachin Tendulkar may still not be the best in international cricket yet, but he is surely an important asset to the Indian cricket team

England Vs West Indies live test cricket series,2007

England Vs West Indies live test cricket series,2007

The England Vs West Indies test cricket series promises to be an exciting cricket series between two reasonably matched cricket teams.

The England Vs West Indies cricket series is a contest between two international cricket teams with a comparatively weak bowling attacks and
some great batting talents such as Strauss, Cook, Pieterson and of course Sarwan

England Vs West Indies test cricket series- First major series with no Lara

The England Vs West Indies cricket series is the first major cricket series the West Indies cricket team are playing
without Brian Charles Lara in the West Indies cricket team.

While the absence of Brian Lara from the West Indies cricket team may have lowered the overall morale of some West Indies cricket fans,
players like Ramnaresh Sarwan can emerge from the shadows to form a team of world beaters

Sachin Tendulkar teaches you to bat

Sachin Tendulkar's straight drive is a sign that there is a God

If you ever doubted that God exists, you should see Sachin Tendulkar's straight drives. Sachin Tendulkar's straight drives are made in .. heaven

Check out Sachin Tendulkar's great straight drive against Wasim Akram

Sachin Tendulkar unleashes an amazing straight drive off Wasim Akram's bowling. Indian cricket's other great,Anil Kumble can see that he has been lucky to witness a great shot by Sachin Tendulkar

Mahendra Singh Dhoni- The next Sachin Tendulkar?

Mahendra Singh Dhoni-Mahendra Singh Dhoni has the ability to be a truly great

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is already the best Indian wicketkeeper batsman ever. Mahendra Singh Dhoni could
turn it around and become one of India's great batsmen ever

Mahendra Singh Dhoni needs to bat at number 3

The only reason Mahendra Singh Dhoni is batting at number 7 is that wicketkeepers usually bat at number 7. :-)
Its stupid that Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a match winner is batting late in the batting order. The earlier self-styled "Guru" coach of the
Indian cricket team,Mr. Greg Chappell, was really underutilizing Dhoni's potential

If Mahendra Singh Dhoni is really among the top ten batsmen in the world, Dhoni should bat up the order,at number 3.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni needs the support of the Indian cricket captain and coach

Players with raw talent like Mahendra Singh Dhoni need the support of the Indian cricket coach and captain.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been underutilized so far in his career and needs to be given ample opportunities so that he can play
to his potential

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's greatest worry- satisfying the expectations of the Indian cricket fan

The Indian cricket fan expects Mahendra Singh Dhoni to hit a century in every match and a six of every ball.

As Sachin Tendulkar has found out,much to his chagrin, one failure in an important match can wipe off all of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's greatest
achievements

Its easier for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to play Brett Lee than satisfy the Indian cricket fan

India Vs Bangladesh live cricket series

India Vs Bangladesh live one day cricket series in Bangladesh Predictions

The Indian cricket team is on its way to Bangladesh to play in the India Vs Bangladesh cricket series. Rahul Dravid is leading the Indian cricket team devoid of Sachin Tendulkar and Saurav Ganguly for the one day cricket series

Its stupid to drop Sachin Tendulkar for the India Vs Bangladesh one day crickets series

It is definitely a crazy decision to drop Sachin Tendulkar for the India Vs Bangladesh cricket series. The BCCI is plain stupid to not include Sachin Tendulkar for the India Vs Bangladesh one day cricket series- I dont mind superstars being dropped, but to drop Sachin Tendulkar without a proper replacement is dumb

Is there anybody in India apart from Sachin Tendulkar who can bowl ten overs of spin or seam bowling in almost every cricket match and also average 44 runs at almost a run a ball?

The selection of the Indian cricket team for the India Vs Bangladesh cricket series proves that the Pawar led BCCI is far worse than Dalmiya's BCCI

Under Pawar, the BCCI seems to be focused on killing the proverbial golden goose.The Indian cricket fan is slowly losing its appetite for Indian cricket

While the lack of public interest for the India Vs Bangladesh cricket series is a good sign for sports like soccer and hockey in India, it is sad that Indian cricket which successfully challenged the Australian cricket team in India and Australia has been reduced to this state

Hooray,for Greg Chappell for messing the Indian cricket team so much that a India Vs Bangladesh cricket series seems interesting

Talk about Greg Chappell's contribution to world cricket that even a India Vs Bangladesh cricket series in now interesting and possibly a close contest.

India Vs Bangladesh cricket series - Prediction- India should win but barely

The Indian cricket team should win the India Vs Bangladesh one day cricket series. The Bangladesh cricket pitches are typically very slow and traditionally do not aid fast bowlers like Moshrafe Mortaza and this is good news for the Indian cricket team in the India Vs Bangladesh cricket series

In summary, the Indian cricket team should barely win the India Vs Bangladesh cricket series, but it wont be easy without Sachin Tendulkar

Mashrafe Mortaza - The next great fast bowler?

Mashrafe Mortaza could be the next great fast bowler in international cricket

Mashrafe Mortaza typifies the spirit of the Bangladesh cricket team. Mashrafe Mortaza is Bangladesh cricket's speedster on par with the best of the world's fast bowlers on one day and an average class bowler on another.

Mashrafe Mortaza will prize his hostile opening spell against the Indian cricket team

Mashrafe Mortaza's opening spell against the Indian cricket team set the tone for the spirited performance of the Bangladesh cricket team in the World cup cricket series.2007 in the Caribbean

Mashrafe Mortaza bowled a powerful spell and had Uthappa and Ganguly on the backfoot and struggling right from the first over and this lifted the spirit of the Bangladesh cricket team who began to believe that they could win against the Indian cricket team

Mashrafe Mortaza has a good chance against the Indian cricket team in the Indian cricket team's Bangladesh tour

Mashrafe Mortaza may find it difficult to bowl extremely hostile spells in the slower pitches of Bangladesh. The Indian tour of Bangladesh is a good opportunity for Mashrafe Mortaza to cement his place in the Bangladesh cricket team and learn to bowl well on slower unresponsive pitches

Mashrafe Mortaza and Mohammed Asif form the hope for the Asian subcontinent's revival

Vivian Richards- Gilchrist knock revives old magic

Viv Richards was the original cricket master blaster,Gilchrist is only second to Viv

Sir Isaac Vivian Richards was the original great World cup cricket master blaster. The recent exploits of Gilchrist at the cricket World cup reminds me of Vivian Richards,the original West Indies cricketing great who taught the world the right way to play cricket

The one
lasting memory of Vivian Richards at the cricket World cup was the match against the England cricket team

Vivian Richards - The two Vivian Richards strokes I will never forget

Richards hit two shots in that World cup match against the England cricket team that I will never forget

• The Vivian Richards straight drive that almost took off Dicky Bird's head


• The Vivian Richards six to midwicket from almost a yard outside the off stump

Here is one of those incredible Vivian Richards strokes to be treasured

Sarwan, the new West Indies cricket captain

Sarwan , a true great West Indies cricket player deserves the captaincy

Sarwan is one of my favorite cricket players and definitely deserves the West Indies cricket captaincy. Ever so often, we find Sarwan holding the fort with the number eleven batsman in the West Indies cricket team, trying to match of it

Sarwan ,the West Indies cricket captain,seems to have a cool head on his shoulders

Sarwan has been provoked many times his West Indies cricket career,most of all by McGrath. McGrath definitely crossed the line that day, in his "discussion" with Sarwan, the cool head of West Indies cricket.

Only Sarwan's niceness in the West Indies cricket team saved the day when an ugly brawl was in in the offing due to McGrath's sick comments

In summary, Sarwan leads a talented West Indies cricket team,who may yet emerge from Lara's shadow

Send Greg Chappell to Sri Lanka-The Australian cricket solution

The Australian cricket think-tank is in a serious quandary. The Sri Lankan cricket team is getting better and can seriously challenge the Australian cricket team soon

Coach Buchanan comes up with a great idea. "Hey, lets play the Greg Chappell trick again- This time on the Sri Lankan cricket team"

The Greg Chappell trick- how the Indian cricket team was vanquished

The Indian cricket team under Saurav Ganguly was almost threatening to eject the Australian cricket team from the top spot. The Indian cricket team actually tied the India Vs Australia cricket series in Australia 1-1, and Australia had to struggle with the help of Parthiv Patel and the umpires to save the last test

That's when Buchanan figured out the first phase of the Greg Chappell trick- Send Greg Chappell as coach to the Indian cricket team

This information was leaked to us by sources close to the former Indian coach
