Dimitri Mascarenhas is a great option for England cricket in test and one day international cricket


Interesting coverage of Third Umpire: Hampshire Player Ratings


I really think that Dimitri Mascarenhas is a great prospect for the England cricket team. As Dimitri
Mascarenhas showed in this Hampshire county season, he is a consistent performer who should be considered for one day international and Twenty20 cricket for the England cricket team on a long term basis


In all the brouhaha over Yuvraj Singh's recent six sixes off Chris Broad, people have forgetten Dimitri Mascarenhas' assault on Yuvraj Singh.


Six sixes in an over is great,but Mascarenhas' five sixes in one over was not too bad

Sachin Tendulkar,Sachin Tendulkar is not a match winner anymore?

Sachin Tendulkar was, is and will be a match winner for the Indian cricket team


Sachin Tendulkar is God. I am obviously a die hard Sachin Tendulkar cricket fan, and get amazed by Sachin Tendulkar's ability to take criticism from the cricket fans of his own country


Sachin Tendulkar is a victim of the "argumentative Indian"


Sachin Tendulkar scored a match winning knock of 91 runs against the England cricket team and was undone only by Simon Taufel, the umpire. Despite this match winning knock by Sachin Tendulkar, sections of the Indian media, and armchair enthusiasts in India criticize Sachin for his "slow" knock of 91


Sachin Tendulkar was criticized earlier by Ian Chappell


At the height of Sachin Tendulkar's dispute with Greg Chappell, Ian Chappell suggested that Sachin Tendulkar should retire, citing Sachin Tendulkar's knock of 241 not out against the Australian cricket team as being "too careful".


Sachin Tendulkar has endured a lot of such criticism in his test career but Ian Chappell's reasoning for Sachin's retirement was the most stupid


Only the opposing international cricket teams must be eagerly awaiting Sachin Tendulkar's retirement


Teams such as the England cricket team, the Australian cricket team and the Sri Lankan cricket team must be hoping that Sachin Tendulkar retires soon, but criticism from the Indian cricket fan is stupid

Monty Panesar,how Sachin Tendulkar should play Monty Panesar


Monty Panesar should be treated with disdain by Sachin Tendulkar


Monty Panesar has been treated with great respect by the Indian cricket team,especially Sachin Tendulkar in the first India Vs England cricket test at Lords


On a more sarcastic note, the Indian cricket batsmen such as Sachin Tendulkar seem to be treating Monty Panesar, the way Indian culture asks them to treat a fellow Indian in a foreign land


Monty Panesar should be treated with absolutely no respect by Sachin Tendulkar and the rest of the Indian cricket team and Sachin Tendulkar needs to hit Monty Panesar out of the attack as soon as possible


Monty Panesar was thrashed by Gilchrist and Sachin Tendulkar should do the same to Monty Panesar



Monty Panesar was hit for 24 runs in a single over by Adam Gilchrist,including three huge sixes past midwicket. Sachin Tendulkar should watch this video of Monty Panesar being demolished by Adam Gilchrist and take inspiration from it


Sachin Tendulkar played the same way against stalwarts like Glenn Mcgrath and Shane Warne, all that Sachin Tendulkar needs to do is to play Monty Panesar thinking Monty Panesar is just another club bowler!

Monty Panesar Vs Sachin Tendulkar cricket video and incredible celebration


Monty Panesar Vs Sachin Tendulkar video of an incredible celebration by Monty Panesar


Monty Panesar dismissed Sachin Tendulkar in the Lords first Test between the Indian and England cricket teams. Monty Panesar bowled another of his "Once in a blue moon" arm balls to get Sachin Tendulkar out "lbw" again.





Monty Panesar may have Sachin Tendulkar as his "bunny"


Monty Panesar may claim Sachin Tendulkar as his bunny. Sachin Tendulkar does appear extremely uncomfortable against Monty Panesar's left arm spin. Monty Panesar typically bowls an incredible line to Sachin Tendulkar


Sachin Tendulkar is of course giving Monty Panesar more respect than Monty deserves from a batsman with 37 centuries to his name.Sachin Tendulkar's best option to counter Monty Panesar is to give Monty Panesar the Adam Gilchrist treatment.


Sachin Tendulkar needs to take Monty Panesar to the cleaners in order to avoid seeing Monty Panesar's incredible celebration again

Dhoni dropped from Indian cricket team?


Dhoni being dropped from Indian cricket team?


Rumors suggest that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be dropped from the Indian cricket team. Dhoni will be replaced by Dinesh Karthik, who is currently in the team as a specialist batsman


The argument suggests that Dhoni is not a good wicketkeeper,especially in English conditions and Dinesh Kartik can do a better job at keeping for the Indian cricket team


Why cannot Dhoni play as a specialist middle order batsman


Dhoni is currently being treated as an also-ran in the race for the much coveted middle order position. After Sachin Tendulkar, the immediate choices for the Indian cricket's middle order positions are Saurav Ganguly,Laxman and Yuvraj Singh. But typically, the Indian cricket team management seems to think that a strokeplayer like Dhoni can come in only at number 7 and not earlier


Dhoni dropped?Have the Indian cricket team management not heard of Kevin Pieterson?


Pieterson is as unorthodox as Dhoni and plays for the England cricket team at number four and very often intimidates the opposing cricket team. By playing predominatly off the front foot, Pieterson often damages the confidence of the opposing cricket team by scoring at over a run a ball.


Lets hope logic prevails and Dhoni is not dropped from the Indian cricket team for the first cricket test against the England cricket team

Monty Panesar spins England cricket to series win over West Indies


Monty Panesar helps England cricket team beat West Indies for series win


Monty Panesar has ensured a win for the England cricket team in the second test match and a series win against the West Indies cricket team


In an exciting cricket test match, Chanderpaul of the West Indies stood between the England cricket team and a series win against the West Indies,but Chanderpaul soon ran out of partners and the England cricket team triumphed


Monty Panesar is on his way to becoming a truly great left arm spinner


I had recently wondered whether Monty Panesar will end up as just another left arm spinner. But Monty Panesar seems to have answered the question with a series winning bowling performance against the West Indies cricket team


Even when Chanderpaul was swatting his spinning deliveries like a lazy ungainly hippopotamus squatting a tse-tse fly, Monty Panesar kept flighting the ball and did not bowl flat, This aspect of Monty Panesar during this test match suggests that Monty Panesar is destined to be a great left arm spin bowler


Wishing Monty Panesar the best of congratulations for a truly great spin bowling performance against the West Indies cricket team

Monty Panesar,is Monty Panesar just an also ran?



Monty Panesar
Originally uploaded by Rob Selby

Is Monty Panesar just destined for also-ran status?


Monty Panesar belongs to that amazing breed of left arm spin bowlers, who believe in wearing down the batsmen with their impeccable line and length


Monty Panesar's hero undoubtedly in the great Bishan Singh Bedi who bowled untiringly for the Indian cricket team for ages.



Bishen Singh Bedi was the classic left arm spinner, being hit for six was an opportunity for Bishen Singh Bedi. All he would do is to drop the next ball a fraction short, so that the batsman would get caught at mid-on


Monty Panesar should see the modern attacking cricket game as an opportunity


Monty Panesar should not be discomfited by the modern way of playing test cricket which includes scoring at almost four runs per over. In fact, Monty Panesar should emulate his mentor Bedi, and see the attacking batting styles of current batsmen as a great opportunity to either toss the ball a fraction more, or bowl a slightly faster ball


Monty can use the traditional left arm spinner's repertoire of varying spin, flight and length and will find that the modern cricket game is just fantastic for spin bowlers


Monty Panesar should resist the temptation to bowl flat to attacking batsmen


Monty Panesar should learn from the Harbhajan Singh story. Harbhajan Singh, another protege of Bishan Singh Bedi, took the wrong route by bowling flatter after being hammered a few times and now has his career in tatters


Monty Panesar should learn from Harbhajan Singh's experience and ensure that he does not attempt to take the easy route of bowling flat and terminate his career by being just another ordinary spin bowler


Monty Panesar has a great future ahead , as long as he keeps to the basics of traditional left arm spin bowling

Kevin Pieterson is the new face of England cricket



Kevin Pieterson 100 up
Originally uploaded by simonh1170

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

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

England will win the cricket World cup!


England cricket team may win the cricket World cup- We reiterate England's chances


The England cricket team have done a great job of reaching the finals of the tri-nation cricket series,involving Australia and New
Zealand.The England cricket team have a good chance of winning the cricket World cup in the West Indies.


The England cricket team is well balanced and has quite a few matchwinners


The England cricket team has good batsmen in Collingwood and Bell, good bowlers in Harmison and Panesar and a great allrounder in
Andrew Flintoff.


The England cricket team has two batting matchwinners in Flintoff and Pieterson


In the England cricket team for the cricket World cup,Flintoff,Collingwood and Pieterson are key potential matchwinners who can score at more than a run a ball.Apart from Flintoff and Pieterson,the England
cricket team also has Bell and Collingwood who are currently in great form and can make an impact in the cricket World cup in the West Indies


The England cricket team needs to be more creative in their cricketing strategies


Strategy is a weak area for the England cricket team in one day international cricket matches. For example,the England cricket team needs to look
at moving either or both Flintoff and Pieterson up the order to exploit the Power Play overs.Also,Yardy is a promising find for the England cricket
team and the England cricket team need to consider having two genuine spinners in Yardy and Monty Panesar,rather than the ineffectual
Giles or Dalrymple


In summary, the England cricket team has an ideal combination for the cricket World cup, it just needs to get its confidence and strategy in place

England can win the cricket World cup in the West Indies


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


I know the thought of a demoralized England cricket team winning the World cup cricket tournament sounds incredible.But we,at GameCricket.com have concluded that England can win the cricket World cup,based on a statistical analysis of the England cricket team


The current England cricket team has skills more tuned towards one day international cricket rather than test cricket


The England cricket team is lucky to have many match-winners in their World cup cricket squad in the West Indies. Flintoff and Pieterson are two potential match-winners for the England cricket team, and both of them not only score a lot of runs but also score the runs at an incredible speed.


One of the key challenges in today's one day international cricket is the ability to push the scoring in the middle overs and players such as Flintoff and Pieterson are perfectly capable of making fast scoring happen.

Both Flintoff and Pieterson in the England cricket team,are also good players of spin bowling. The ability to play spin bowling is extremely important during the World cup cricket tournament in the West Indies,since the pitches are expected to be slow and aid spin


The England cricket team needs to sort out their strategy for the cricket world cup


The England cricket team needs to desperately rethink their strategy for the World cup cricket tournament - the England cricket team is actually quite good with batsmen like Bell,Pieterson and Vaugham, all rounders such as Collingwood and Flintoff, good fast bowlers such as Harmison and an excellent spinner in Monty Panesar


All successful one day international cricket teams for the cricket World cup ensure that their best batsmen get to play the maximum number of overs- thats why Sachin Tendulkar opens for India, Fleming and Astle play at the top of the order for New Zealand, Gilchrist opens for Australia and so on- The England cricket team needs to ensure that batsmen such as Flintoff and Pieterson play at the top of the order to ensure that they get enough overs to score runs at a fast pace


Monty Panesar is the key to the England cricket team's chances in the World cup.


The England cricket team needs to nurture Monty Panesar for the World cup cricket tournament since the West Indies cricket pitches are expected to be slow and possibly underprepared- a spinner will most likely be the man of the series for the cricket World cup and Monty Panesar could be that spinner. Yardy has also impressed with the limited chances he has got in the England cricket team and should be considered for the World cup cricket tournament in the West Indies
