Sydney Morning Herald media coverage of India Vs Australia cricketseries:One sided and sickening


The Australian media coverage of the India Vs Australia one day international CommonWealth Bank cricket series (CB cricket series) is hopelessly one-sided and biased


The Australian media especially, the Sydney Morning Herald,has been incredibly disappointing.

Its one thing to support the Australian home team,but to run fake campaigns,denigrate the opposition players and cast a blind eye to the doings of the Australian cricket payers is simply not done, at least by a leading national newspaper


Sydney Morning Herald is abusing the power of the media


By its one-sided reporting,the Sydney Morning Herald has been abusing its power. In this one-sided article about the first final of the India Vs Australia CommonWealth Bank cricket series, the hopelessly biased article talks about Harbhajan Singh 's alleged behavior, but fails to mention the abusive and racist remarks by the Sydney cricket crowd


The Sydney spectators abused Harbhajan Singh by making racist comments about Harbhajan Singh 's Sikh religion and this was not even mentioned in the article


The abusive words used by Hayden, Ponting, Symonds and the rest of the Australian cricket team were ignored


In the cricket article, there is some mention about Pathan and Harbhajan walking down to Hayden and making some comments, but the dirty, abusive comments used by Hayden,Symonda and the rest of the Australian cricket team are not even mentioned


My biggest fear- Soon, the Indian, Pakistan,Sri Lanka,Bangladesh,South African and West Indian cricket media would follow the example of the Australian cricket media


There is no barrier to entry for nastiness in media- what if the rest of the world cricket media behaved in the same despicable manner as the Sydney Morning Herald?


The good old days of the cricket columnist is now being abused by these so-called cricket writers who are bringing decency in the cricket game to its knees

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?

Was Shane Warne the greatest legspinner ever?


Was Shane Warne the great legspinner to have played cricket


Shane Warne was undoubtedly a great legspinner but was he the greatest? Certainly, a lot of young Australians do think that Shane Warne was the best legspinner ever,but older Australian cricket fans do think that Richie Benaud may have been a better legspinner


Some think Shane Warne was not as good as Chandrasekhar of the India cricket team


Chandra or Chandrasekhar evoked as much respect as Shane Warne among the opposing batsmen. To compare Shane Warne and Chandra is obviously unfair,given that the two bowlers were so different.Shane Warne was a traditionally legspinner who liked to give the ball a lot of air while Chandra was almost a fast bowler and tended to skid the ball through.Viv Richards among other great cricketers respected the leg spin bowling of Chandra to a great extent


Was Shane Warne better than Abdul Qadir of the Pakistan cricket team


Abdul Qadir was undoubtedly responsible for the revival of traditional leg spin bowling in the subcontinent and his google was incredible,but it is debatable whether he was as good as Shane Warne


Shane Warne was definitely the greatest legspinner in his time


In summary,Shane Warne was of course the greatest legspinner among his contemporaries,and cricket statistics do not lie, but there were other great legspinners prior to Shane Warne's time who were really great too!

Pakistan cricket team make a blunder by not including Akhtar


The Pakistan cricket team needs to play Shoaib Akhtar and Mohammed Asif together


The Pakistan cricket team has made a blunder by not including Shoaib Akhtar in the cricket series against South Africa. Shoaib Akhtar serves as the perfect foil for Mohammed Asif, the pace of Shoaib Akhtar and the guile of Asif is the perfect combination for the Pakistan cricket team.



The Pakistan cricket team selectors should have known that fast bowlers attack in packs



Fast bowlers all over the world have bowled in tandem-Dennis Lillee and Thomson, Brett Lee and McGrath,Michael Holding and Andy Roberts,Imran Khan and Safraz Nawaz. Mohammed Asif and Shoaib Akhtar can form that great combination, if once they are given a chance together in the Pakistan cricket team



The Pakistan cricket team may still win if Yousuf Mohammed can make it for the remaining tests against South Africa


Among all the batsmen of the Pakistan cricket team,Yousuf Mohammed is by far the most compact of batsmen. In fact,in his current form, Yousuf Mohammed is probably the best batsman in the world. If Yousuf plays in the last two tests of this Pakistan Vs South Africa test series, the Pakistan cricket team have some chance of winning the series,which will be closely fought

Akhtar dropped from Pakistan cricket team- Does Pakistan want to lose?


News : Shoiab Akhtar has been dropped from the Pakistan cricket team for the South Africa cricket series.



Why do cricket boards find it so difficult to handle great talents such as Shoiab Akhtar?

It has happened to so many sportsmen around the world- maverick sportsmen with superior talents such as Shoaib Akhtar are not tolerated by the sports authorities.



Shoiab Akhtar is the fastest bowler in the world


We all know from the Indian cricket team's experience about the nature of the pitches in South Africa. Shoiab Akhtar can make the placid of cricket pitches appear to be as dangerous as an Afghan mine trench. On South African cricket pitches, Shoiab Akhtar would have been at his best


Doesnt the Pakistan cricket board want the Pakistan cricket team to win against South Africa?



It appears that the Pakistan cricket board is determined that the Pakistan cricket team should lose against South Africa- not selecting Akhtar for the Pakistan Vs South Africa cricket series seems rather stupid. All this seems to point towards a witchhunt against Shoiab Akhtar.
