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

Michael Holding,why Michael Holding was the silent assassin of cricket


Michael Holding had the best bowling action in world cricket


Michael Holding did Jamaica and the West Indies cricket team proud by his incredible bowling performances in test cricket.


Here is a tribute to Michael Holding, who was easily the bowler with the best bowling action in world test cricket ever.


Michael Holding was called the "Silent Assassin" of world test cricket


Michael Holding had a silky bowling action that suggested that Michael Holding was just a medium pacer of the Mohinder Amarnath variety. But Michael Holding was able to generate such incredible pace without apparently expending any effort


Michael Holding's incredible bowling action also enabled to play test cricket for such a long time without any of those injuries that current fast bowlers always seem striken with


Courtney Walsh was Michael Holding's protege


Michael Holding's smooth bowling action has no comparison, the only other cricket bowler whose action came reasonably close was that of "nice guy" Courtney Walsh,who probably used his Jamaican association to learn a few bowling tricks of the trade from Michael Holding


Michael Holding to Geoff Boycott, a cool cricket video


Michael Holding makes Geoff Boycott hop, fish and finally lets him out of his agony by getting his wicket in this incredible bowling performance against the most dodgy of cricket batsmen

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

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

some great batting talents such as Strauss, Cook, Pieterson and of course Sarwan

without Brian Charles Lara in the West Indies cricket team.

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

West Indies Vs Bangladesh live World cup cricket match,2007


West Indies favorites for West Indies Vs Bangladesh cricket match in World cup,2007


The West Indies cricket team is expected to win the West Indies Vs Bangladesh Super Eights World cup cricket match today. No doubt the West Indies cricket team is a demoralised cricket team due to the string of defeats they have suffered, but the West Indies cricket team should at least beat the Bangladesh cricket team


West Indies cricket at the crossroads


The West Indies cricket team is in the doldrums with Brian Lara also announcing his retirement from one day international cricket. Brian Lara may be a disappointed man, he is sure to sign off on a good note by defeating the Bangladesh cricket team


The West Indies cricket batsmen are better at playing spin bowling


The West Indies cricket team have the ability to tackle the Bangladesh cricket spinners better than the South African cricket team.Players like Ramnaresh Sarwan and Lara can toy with the Bangladesh cricket spinners and negate the effectiveness of Razzaq and Rafique


A large score from Gayle is also due and the West Indies Vs Bangladesh live cricket match is likely to see a huge score from this power hitter

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

Sachin Tendulkar proves media wrong with timely ton


Sachin Tendulkar proves GameCricket.com right with a timely century


Sachin Tendulkar is still one of the best batsmen in the world and we have been crowing exactly that in our GameCricket.com blog. Its nice when Sachin acknowledges our comments by launching into another fantastic century. The West Indies cricket team bore the brunt of Sachin Tendulkar's large blade as he thrashed the West Indies bowlers to all parts of the ground


Sachin Tendulkar is still the best batsman in the Indian cricket team


Sachin Tendulkar hit this century in Vadodara off only 76 balls. It amazes me that Sachin Tendulkar with forty one centuries in one day international cricket matches can be questioned by sections of the media.


Please dont question Sachin Tendulkar's talents again


I appeal to the media - Please do not question Sachin Tendulkar's greatness again and do not be stupid enough to ask for dropping Sachin

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
