I also think he might get selected in the squad. But breaking into the 11 might not be possible. Even if Dravid decides to retire, the No. 3 slot would go for Vijay. He has been in the fringes for long and would be given a chance to prove what he is capable of (or incapable of).

And I thought Kohli was behind Rohit Sharma in the pecking order. Is he not?

World Cup the focus in leisurely tri-series

In its dual role as commercial hub of the North Central Province and site of the holy Golden Cave Temple, a UNESCO world heritage monument, Dambulla has long attracted a varied set of visitors. In 2010, the town seems out to add aficionados of the one-day game to that bunch, laying out 14 ODIs for them in fewer than three months, a feast even Sharjah didn't offer during its salad days as a cricketing venue.

The tickets are cheap, the weather is reasonable, and the pitch isn't one of those featherbeds which make bowlers despair over their choice of career, but bussed-in school kids made up a chunk of the sparse crowd during the Asia Cup in June, and things aren't likely to be too different for the upcoming tri-series.

The players involved won't be bothered by that, though. The teams will be using the tournament to figure out their combinations for next year's World Cup in the subcontinent. India and Sri Lanka had talked of building up to cricket's showpiece tournament during the Asia Cup but could not zero in on a settled batting order. The tri-series will be New Zealand's first one-day tournament in five months, and gives several of their newcomers a chance to test themselves in conditions alien to those at home.

For what it's worth, the tri-series could also cause a major reshuffling in the one-day rankings. Australia are runaway leaders with a 14-point lead, but the next five teams are separated by only seven points. India are second, but that spot could be taken by either New Zealand (now fourth) or Sri Lanka (now sixth) by the end of the tournament.

Teams will find it simpler to capture that second spot if their captains win the toss often. The floodlights at Dambulla are a bit dodgy and, more importantly, the pitch assists bowlers more under lights than in the afternoon, making the toss more vital than it should be. Sri Lanka had been the dominant team in the league phase of the Asia Cup, but they lost the toss and the final partly due to the lavish movement the Indian bowlers extracted from a previously benign track.

In a time when three-day gaps between Tests are the norm, even if teams have to travel to a different venue, the tri-series follows a leisurely schedule despite being played entirely in Dambulla. There's a two-day break between each match, giving teams ample time to visit the many archeological heritage sites in Sri Lanka's famed Cultural Triangle.

Sri Lanka

The home side is the only one close to full strength and should start as favourites. After looking good for much of their previous two series, Kumar Sangakkara's team finished poorly in both and were left with only the moderate reward of a shared Test series, something Sri Lanka will want to redress.

Their batting order is settled till No. 5, but the Sri Lankan think-tank is still figuring out their best players for the remaining slots. With Thilina Kandamby having fallen out of favour, Thilan Samaraweera, Chamara Kapugedera and the recalled Chamara Silva are battling for two places. The absence of Muttiah Muralitharan means the tournament is a chance for the spinners Suraj Randiv, Ajantha Mendis and Rangana Herath to make cases for a permanent place.

India

Sri Lanka must be among MS Dhoni's favourite destinations for one-day cricket: his captaincy record in the country is four titles in four tournaments. Adding a fifth could prove difficult, though, because India are without four first-choice players - Sachin Tendulkar, Gautam Gambhir, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan - which leaves Dhoni with a very young team: 11 members of the squad are 25 years or younger. The good news for him is that most of the youngsters have played plenty of cricket in Sri Lanka and are familiar with the Dambulla pitch as well.

The pace attack, which was ineffective during the Tests, is beefed up by the return of Ashish Nehra and Praveen Kumar, but India's slow-bowling combination will be interesting to watch. Pragyan Ojha had a successful Test at the P Sara Oval, but with Ravindra Jadeja making the XI for his all-round skills, will India go in with two left-arm spinners (in addition to the part-time bowling of Yuvraj) or will offspinner R Ashwin get an extended run?

New Zealand

New Zealand Cricket has smartly lined up matches in all three World Cup host nations in the run-up to the 2011 tournament. The absence of match-winners, such as Daniel Vettori, Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder, means New Zealand are a long shot for the tri-series title, but with so many players with so little experience of the subcontinent, they could be the team that benefits the most from the tri-series. The other plus for Ross Taylor's side is that, while the other two teams have only a few days and no matches to switch from Test to one-day mode, New Zealand have tuned up for the tri-series with two convincing warm-up wins in Sri Lanka.

India's No.1 Test tag highlights flaws in ICC rankings

Anand Vasu

India is the world's No 1 ranked Test team. But is it the team that others benchmark themselves against? The answer has to be an emphatic no.

In fact, given Team India's lacklustre performance in the ongoing Test series in Sri Lanka, many are even questioning if India deserves the top dog tag, thus, questioning the credibility of the International Cricket Council (ICC) rankings.

From the summer of 1976 to the end of the 1980s — in the era before the ICC rankings — the West Indians owned cricket. When the Windies played (Tests or ODIs), the discussion was usually over the margin of victory, and not so much about the result (which, in most cases, was a foregone conclusion).

There were no ICC rankings, but there was no doubt who was No 1.

From the late 1990s till recently, Australia was the team to beat. A high-quality domestic system that produced tough international sportsmen was the envy of other nations. But as players of the quality of Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Mathew Hayden retired, the Australians struggled to keep up their high standards.

South Africa, which had been snapping at Australia's heels for a while, emerged as strong contenders for the No 1 spot in ICC's rankings. But, while the Proteas were successful at home and in conditions that offered bounce and assistance to their pace-powered bowling attack, the lack of a quality spinner hampered their progress in Asian conditions.

England had their moments, Sri Lanka perennially threatened, but in all this churning, India rose to the top of the rankings – despite not having won a series in Australia or South Africa.

But, watching India struggle to take 20 wickets on slow, lifeless pitches in Sri Lanka, questions have inevitably arisen over just how accurately the rankings reflect the situation on the ground.

Sri Lankan captain Kumar Sangakkara questioned the credibility of the ranking system by saying, "If rankings can't be understood by the public, the players, or the administrators, what's the use of having them?"

He was merely articulating what many former players were whispering in private.

Mahela Jayawardene, the former Sri Lanka captain, made a very pertinent point.

"I was disappointed (with the Indians). I felt they were not as aggressive as a No 1 team should be," said Jayawardene after India failed to push on and seize the initiative in the second Test that ended in a draw.

The fact that India is without pace spearhead Zaheer Khan, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, and that Harbhajan Singh, leader of the spin department, is off the boil, would explain captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's inability to be more aggressive. But a team that wants to hang on to its No 1 ranking can't afford to take refuge in excuses.

To Dhoni's credit, though, he has never gloated over the rankings. His constant refrain has been that it's his job to achieve results and that the rankings would take care of themselves. And, given that India has not conceded a single Test series under his leadership, the logic is sound.

But the basis of the complaints against the ranking system is the different volumes of matches played by different teams within a given period.

"Rankings need to be fairly done. A fair tours programme is the first step towards having proper rankings. Each side should play the others at least once, home or away, once every two years. That's how you can get a fair deal when it comes to Test cricket," said Sangakkara.

So, does India owe its numero uno position in Tests only to a skewed statistical formula? Former Australia captain Ian Chappell, sums up the issue succinctly.

"There are now five teams, all of whom are flawed but at any moment can produce a performance that portrays them as potential World Test champions," said Chappell.

He added that India's position at the top is safe only to a "mis-informed computer" and offered a solution.

"What better way to clear those murky waters than a highly entertaining and competitive on-field battle for the world crown?"

The ball, now, is in the ICC's court.

For the last time, for God's sake, #1 is just #1. Need not be dominating.

Does Man Utd not deserve the 1999 Champions' league just because they barely scraped through?

Does the Aussie 1999 WC winning team not deserve the WC winner tag - because the 2003 and 2007 teams won all their matches while the 1999 team just scraped through?

This is basic common sense - why is it that so many people in this world are lacking it? This is where I guess hatred for "BCCI" and "India" is blinding people's eyes. Cricinfo, ofcourse, hates BCCI and will keep on publishing stuff to devalue India.(Cutting the nose...)

Western writers - sollavE vENAm.

theriyAma dhAn kEkkarEn - did Australia start winning everything from 1995 itself? They didnt right? They beat WI in WI, then went through a period where they mostly won but still were beatable, and emerged as an unstoppable machine only in 2000's. We are going through that transition period now. Only time will tell if a new dominant #1 will emerge. adhukkuLLa, previous #1 dominated all throughnu solradhE a big damn lie . It took them time to do that - years infact.

Someone please inject a dose of logical thinking and common sense into this world

Experienced India favoured in opener
Match Facts
Tuesday, August 10, 2010
Start time 1430 (0900 GMT)

Big Picture
For a series with such an unhurried schedule, the rush to start within three days of the Tests is puzzling. India have had so little time to prepare that they decided to take an army chopper to Dambulla to save time on the five-hour road journey from Colombo. On Monday afternoon, the Indian team had their only practice session ahead of the one-dayers. They had a three-hour net in the middle, observed by the groundstaff going through their last-day preparations such as getting the advertising hoardings in place and the security personnel going through their drills.

In contrast to the packed schedule of Dhoni's team, New Zealand are coming off a lengthy break and have had two sets of practice games, first in Darwin against Indian state side Maharashtra and then against a couple of teams made up of Sri Lankan fringe players.

Both sides are missing key players but India will start as favourites, particularly given the amount of experience the team has of the conditions in Dambulla. One thing to New Zealand's advantage side is that unlike most subcontinental pitches, Dambulla will favour their pace-heavy attack.

Traditionally, the track is far tougher to bat on under lights than in the afternoon session, due to which the toss assumes plenty of importance.

Form guide
(most recent first)
India: WLWWL
New Zealand: WLLLW

Watch out for...
Suresh Raina is coming off a fantastic start to his Test career, and seems to have established himself as the best of the young Indian batsmen battling for middle-order berths. He didn't have the best of times during the Asia Cup, and will want to make amends this time round.

In the absence of Brendon McCullum and Jesse Ryder, Ross Taylor's batting form becomes crucial to New Zealand's chances. For a man with little captaincy experience, Taylor also has the added challenge of leading the side.

Team news
An ankle injury has ruled Ishant Sharma out of the first game which means Abhimanyu Mithun is in line to add to his solitary one-day cap. Dhoni had struggled with a finger problem during the third Test but he said that he expected to play despite being in a bit of pain.

Dinesh Karthik was Man of the Match in the Asia Cup final after making a half-century at the top of the order, but India also have the option of going in with Virat Kohli, who began his India career as an opener during a series in Sri Lanka two years ago.

India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Dinesh Karthik/Virat Kohli, 3 Rohit Sharma, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Praveen Kumar, 9 Abhimanyu Mithun, 10 Pragyan Ojha, 11 Ashish Nehra

Kane Williamson, the Northern Districts batsman who turned 20 on Sunday, gets the belated gift of a one-day debut on Tuesday. Andy McKay had impressed Daniel Vettori with his pace in a handful of international appearances but he may not get a chance given the presence of Daryl Tuffey, Kyle Mills, Tim Southee and several medium-pace bowling allrounders.

New Zealand (probable): 1 Martin Guptill, 2 Peter Ingram, 3 Ross Taylor (capt), 4 Kane Williamson, 5 Scott Styris, 6 Grant Elliott, 7 Gareth Hopkins (wk), 8 Nathan McCullum, 9 Daryl Tuffey, 10 Kyle Mills, 11 Tim Southee/Andy McKay

Pitch and conditions
No cricket has been played at the Dambulla stadium since the Asia Cup which means there will be plenty of juice in the fresh, greenish track on Tuesday. To balance that is the fact that the boundary ropes have been pulled in at least 10 metres from where there were during the Asia Cup.

Quotes
"It is an opportunity for them [Daniel Vettori and Brendon McCullum] to spend some time with their families. They will come back fresh and strong, it has turned out to be a positive thing for them and for the youngsters as well."
Mark Greatbatch, the New Zealand coach, on playing the tri-series without two of his most important players

"The amount of games we are playing, it is very important to switch off from cricket because 365 days in a year, you can't be thinking only about cricket."
MS Dhoni on coping with the relentless schedule

From: Dinesh84 on 10th August 2010 10:12 AM [Full View]

Question hour for Yuvraj

Who would want to be in Yuvraj Singh's shoes right now? Injuries, niggles, a dodgy knee, a hurtful shoulder and a troublesome wrist have combined to make life difficult for him over the past few months.

A growing waistline during the Indian Premier League and the World Twenty20 and a patchy form meant he was axed from the Indian one-day squad - the first time since his 2000-01 debut in the Champions Trophy in Nairobi - by the selectors for the Asia Cup. It was as strong a message as could have been, and a much fitter Yuvraj emerged for the three-Test series in Sri Lanka.

His 52 and five in the first Test at Galle was an average start to the series but fate intervened. A flu laid him low and Suresh Raina, at 23, five years his junior, played at the Sinhalese Sports Club and made a century on debut. In the third and final Test, as Raina made a half-century in the first innings, Yuvraj, who had all but sealed the No.6 spot, was knocking the ball at the nets.

Regardless, there might be more than a few in the current team who would gladly trade their places for a shot at his place in the one-day team.

With a reputation of being one of the best finishers in one-dayers, Yuvraj can also turn around matches in a flash with the bat, while his left-arm spin is a handy variation. It will be hard for the team management to look beyond Yuvraj with the World Cup around the corner; such has been his impact in the one-day game. Still, when he walks out at the Rangiri Dambulla Stadium on Tuesday, Yuvraj will know that in spite of his 7,345 runs and 12 centuries, there will be something to prove.

Yuvraj's talent won't be under question but he must show the heart to shake off the disappointment of losing his Test spot. He must show that his hunger for the game, which pundits widely believe has been on the wane over the past year, remains insatiable. There must be a keenness to play each game as if it was his last. Above all, he must show the right kind of attitude, one which will convince Gary Kirsten and Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the selectors that, when the team list is made for the World Cup, Yuvraj's name is one of the first on the sheet. His fitness levels will be tested but more so will be his mental strength.

India will play at least 17 ODIs before the World Cup, including this tri-series in Dambulla. In the run-up to the global event, names will be finalised and roles assigned, based largely on performances in games like these.

As far as competition goes, Rohit Sharma will be eyeing a spot in the final XI - at the expense of Yuvraj - and no one can fault Saurabh Tiwary and Ravindra Jadeja or even Yusuf Pathan for eyeing similar dreams. All of them put together don't have the experience and talent to stake a claim for Yuvraj's spot but, with the World Cup just six months away, a couple of match-winning performances from any of the younger players could change the equation.

Instead of going into a shell, Yuvraj must enjoy the challenge and banish any negative thoughts the Asia Cup snub might bring to his mind. The grapevine has it that he sulked when he was replaced by Kumar Sangakkara as the Kings XI Punjab skipper. At the P Sara Oval, the venue of the third and final Test, he was heckled by drunk fans when going out with the drinks. 'Waterboy' they shouted, and got under his skin. It hasn't been an easy outing.

At a promotional event in the run-up to the Test series, someone kept asking Yuvraj why he wasn't scoring runs and cemented his place in the Test side. "Iss baar mein cement daloonga aur pair rakhoonga aur place cement ho jayaga. This time just watch. I'll score runs and lots of them," Yuvraj had said.

A month later, wonder what Yuvraj would say if the same person asked him about his spot in the one-day side.

2.3 Kumar to Guptill, OUT, PK has been getting some movement - both in and out - and strikes with this delivery. It moves away late from the off stump line and the batsman gets the edge on the defensive prod. He was looking to come forward to defend and tried to cover for the movement but it shaped away to catch the edge. Simple catch through to Dhoni.

6.5

Kumar to Williamson, OUT, Out for a duck! What a ball, though. P E A C H. It curved in the air, landed on the middle stump line and you could sense why Williamson was shaping to play it towards say mid-on. But the ball moved away at the last instant, opened him up completely, and pegged back the off stump. Clatter! Things are bound to get better from here on Williamson

KS Williamson b Kumar 0 (9b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00

5.2

Nehra to Ingram, OUT, Nehra gets some leather on wood this time. It was in the corridor, seaming away ever so late and Ingram was looking to defend but it got the outside edge. India on the attack here. Both bowlers fresh as they didn't play the Test series and doing the job here.

Maddy, I am all for Yuvi in ODIs and T20s. But I dont want him in the test side - unfortunately, success in ODIs means he will get a test place. Which I abhor to the core.

Funny thing is Kohli in his first series came in as replacement for injured Sehwag, opened the batting and did decently well.

Karthik did well in his last outing as opener (won MOM in final), so maybe that's why he is picked ahead of Kohli.

Agree with all the Yuvi bashing, but in ODI and T20 without him the Indian middle order looks thin(pun intended). If he plays with his head in the right place, he does put a little fear into the opposition minds. It would be better if he finds form.

Few comments on Jadeja from another discussion forum:
"Jadeja makes Luke Wright look like Sobers"
"Jadeja is the worst player to played for India in recent times. He has single handedly cost more matches then all the other ten guys combined.

He bowl half decently, often goes wicketless. This infact helps the opposition. He goes for 45-60 runs in his ten overs in the middle. One has to be out of their mind to take any sort of risk against this guy. Easy pickings in the middle overs.

Batting: This less said the better. If he is not run out, he will close his eyes and slog across the line, only to see his furniture re-arranged usually for a score of <5"
"i personally think that if he plays in the next world cup (in the current form)..then we can kiss the world cup good bye...

opposition teams would be licking their lips if he plays"

Riyazz, Yusuf is weak against the short ball and bowlers were queuing up to bowl short at him. Even in IPL, after that knock of 100, he couldn't do much as the bowlers sorted him out with short stuff. If he can correct this weakness then he could be a force.

Frankly, I havent seen his game many times. But if I am not wrong he was good in IPL 1 and 2.

My impression on him was -

1. Handy in batting and bowling
2. Good fielding
3. Young and can be groomed to a decent all rounder

Still I am wondering how he easily scored runs in IPL 1. Avan future avan kaila thaan irruku.

Vinod,

Jadeja was good in IPL-1. Just good not great. And he doesn't have confidence and lacks the temparament to play in international cricket. I distinctly remember 4-5 matches in which he messed up the run rate while chasing.

Yusuf is a hitter and he can be handy during powerplays. Grooming Yusuf could give better results than waiting for Jadeja to become a better player.

I also prefer Jadeja to Yusuf in odi's. T20 is better for Yusuf compared to Jadeja.

The problem for Jadeja's batting is that someone much better than him in playing the holding role is in the team - dhoni can anchor, as well as explode when required which jadejab can't..

What about Joginder-ya

Yes I agree that we need a medium pace bowling all-rounder (maybe in Robin Singh mould but more specialised in bowling). C Ganapathy comes to my mind. Couldn't think of anybody else. In India, everybody seems to be starting as an all-rounder and then giving up one skill to become specialists (Eg: Sehwag).

If we are not finding anybody, then why have a fixed spot in the team as all-rounder. We can either play an extra bowler and hope the six batsmen do the job (highly unlikely). Or pick an extra batsman and ask the likes of Sehwag,Yuvi,Raina,Rohit to do the 5th bowlers job (I am sure they will not do worser than the 0/60 figures we are getting right now from all-rounders).

Munaf to join ODI squad in Sri Lanka

Indian fast bowler Munaf Patel will join the one-day squad for the tri-series in Sri Lanka as cover for Ishant Sharma, who suffered an ankle injury and missed the first game against New Zealand on Tuesday.

Munaf was part of the Test squad, but wasn't named in the original touring party. He joined the team in Sri Lanka when Sreesanth had to pull out before the Test series due to a knee injury. The debutant Karnataka seamer Abhimanyu Mithun was preferred over Munaf, who sat out all three Tests. Mithun bowled only four overs in the opening one-dayer before suffering a heat stroke.

From: Dinesh84 on 12th August 2010 03:06 PM [Full View]

I think Munaf was good in IPL.. but the drawback is his fielding.. he seems to be lazy in outfield..

Harsha perfectly told once (after dhoni hammered in last over in ipl) that 'irfan cant bowl in PPs & in slog overs, he can be used only as a fifth bowler'... he bat well though... anyway, i dont think he will make in to the squad even if he perform well in domestic matches as he had some prob with board members...

LM, Yusuf-kellam support-a?

i agree that he can hit spinners with ease, but which opponent captain will give that chance? they will immediately give next over to team's best pace bowler, 2,3 short-pitches in his body... matter over... thats wat we had seen for many matches. His weakness against short pitch del and good pace bowlers r well-known.

IMO. no more major changes should be made in the squad till WC, restrict it with some selected 18 20 players and keep grow confident in them.... that will be a good idea.

RK, there is a difference... other batsmen dont get out to short pitches so often like yusuf... he is worst in that list. i still remember he didnt even try to touch two short pitch del. bowled in the 49th over... avan vanthale bouncers-a pottu max 2 overs-la gaali pannidvaangarathu therinja vishayam...

Atleast Yusuf has shown that he has the ability to be devastating with bat and useful with the ball. But jadeja has shown that he can only devastate the interest of viewers

Our BCCI is not exploring our domestic strength properly as we win matches/series here and there, ranked as one among top-3 teams once in a while etc. These show off's are more than enough for the BCCI to mark Pravin Kumar or Nehra as our major pace bowlers or Y.Pathan or Jadeja as our All-Rounders [and look we are debating who is the best!

]

These players enters the playing XI through reservations or recommendations soon becomes prominent team member not necessarily by their skill sets,improvising etc but through their jalraas and rapports, typical corporate culture!

One side(TN) says he kept giving chances to Dhawal Kulkarni (Mumbaikar) and other side(Amre) says Ganapathy didn't perform in the chance he was given and hence he was not picked.

As usual, truth will never come out.

# 7 should be a specialist bowler who can bat a little... I don't believe that a specialist batsman can do much coming at # 7..he hardly gets enough overs to settle...

so I would say Ashwin is the best choice.. he can bat.. he is better than other spinners in the current squad.. moreover, he can be utilized well even in PP.. I can still bet that he can open the innings if the pitch assists just like in IPL....

I am not going to argue with you or any one for any matter, If you have your 'opinion' that exists within you , same for me and every one else ! That does not become 'Reality' and getting couple of 'old hubbers' to agree with you does not make it a reality, but mass opinion

I still say, I am not supporting India or SL

You guys jump up and down with comments about India when ever India plays, If I post about SL you guys get hurt ? now in my today’s post , Did I ever say anything bad about any of you hear? Or about the Indian team? Tell me, and you keep mourning that I have been doing this for the last 5 years, prove it

However, I think it's hight time I expressed myself here. Mixing politics, terrorism etc etc with sports and bringing in such issues to the sports section is something to be condemned. I would also like to request the mod not to entertain any kind of name calling of Sri Lankan players - be it Fernando or Mendis to prove one's neutrality. People cannot just get away with all sort of antics in the name of being neutral.

What sort of logic is this? So tomorrow if a Pakistani joins the forum we should stop criticizing Pak team.

Everybody is free to (and in my opinion encouraged to) criticize everything as long as they stay within the bounds of decency of expression and refrain from personal jabs at hubbers.

Sehwag and Raina head home for short break

Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina have taken advantage of the leisurely format of the tri-series in Dambulla to head back to India for personal reasons. Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal said they flew out from Sri Lanka on Thursday and will return on Saturday.

The Indian team has a five-day break between their opening game against New Zealand, in which they crashed to a 200-run defeat, and their next match against Sri Lanka on Monday. Both Sehwag and Raina were in the squad for the three-Test series against Sri Lanka, which ended only three days ahead of the tri-series in Dambulla.

After the defeat to New Zealand, the Indian team took a day off and about half the squad took part in net sessions on Thursday and Friday. Fast bowler Ishant Sharma, who missed the tournament opener with an ankle injury, was the only member of the Test squad to train on Thursday. Another player who took part in all three Tests, Pragyan Ojha, also joined him on Friday.

"Pointless ODIs, T20s tiring us, killing our World Cup chances: top team official

Indianexpress, NihalKoshie, 14 August 2010

Indian cricketers are stretched to a point that is unsustainable, and defeats like Tuesday's 200-run humiliation at the hands of New Zealand could get more frequent unless the Board gets its priorities right, fears a senior member of the team management.
It is irrational for key members of the squad to be tiring themselves out at the Champions League, and for the team to be playing inconsequential One-Dayers so close to the Test series in South Africa and the 2011 World Cup, the senior member told The Indian Express on Friday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Suresh Raina will play for Chennai Super Kings and Sachin Tendulkar, Harbhajan Singh and Zaheer Khan for Mumbai Indians in the Champions League that begins in South Africa on September 10.
"Cricket has become a very commercial sport, but sometimes the Indian cricket board needs to think about the kind of schedule the players who are core to plans for the World Cup and also the Test squad have to deal with," said the senior member, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"The loss against New Zealand was expected. The players were fatigued. We had just two days off between the end of the Test series (on August 7) and the start of the One-Day series (on August 10). You can't recover from a Test series in just two days," he said.
"Only if you are a player who has to play day in and day out will you realize that. There wasn't enough energy on the field and frankly, the players were too tired. There wasn't any time to work with the One-Day players too because there was no time between the Tests and the tri-series," he added.
India play a total 4 Tests and 10 ODIs against Australia and New Zealand before a difficult tour of South Africa in December-January, where they want to win their first Test series. Ahead of this gruelling run-up to the World Cup (beginning February 19) is the Champions League. The team management is dreading the prospect of injuries to one or more of the stars who will play that tournament, which is essentially a money-spinner for cricket boards.
A key priority for the team is to ensure the fitness of Zaheer Khan, who missed the Sri Lanka series because of a shoulder injury.
"We really struggled without Zaheer in the Test series. It was an achievement in itself that we drew the series without Zaheer in the squad. But this is not a situation we want to be in. The absence of Zaheer has led to other fast bowlers feeling the strain. Our key players are suffering from injuries and niggles," said the senior member.
Ishant Sharma bowled 99 overs in the three-Test series on largely docile wickets, and then sat out of the first One-Dayer of the tri-series. With his left ankle heavily strapped and in a brace, he has been trying to find his rhythm in the nets.
The players and the team think tank have not been enjoying the overkill of India's encounters with Sri Lanka. The side is plagued by injuries, and coach Gary Kirsten has allowed Test players who are also playing the One-Dayers a short break until the next game on Monday.
There also seems to be a disconnect between the selectors, the mandarins of the BCCI and the team management, which includes skipper Dhoni and Kirsten, with regard to resting key players, rotating fast bowlers and scheduling matches.
The team management has repeatedly requested the BCCI to ease the load of the Test players. However, the only time they have got their way so far with the Board and the selectors was when India fielded a second-string squad for the tri-series in Zimbabwe. "

Test Seriesla viLayaadinadhudhaan fatiguekku MAIN karaNam endraal, Dhoni, Sehwag did not play well is aceptable. Raina, Mithun, Ojha have had their debut series of 2 matches. D Karthik, Rohit, Yuvraj, Jadeja, Praveen, Nehra have been drafted in fresh after 3 week rest. So, why blame fatigue?

CAPTAIN COOL TURNS HOT

Irked By Damp Pitch,Skipper Stages Walkout

Partha Bhaduri I TNN

Dambulla: The first proper practice session for the Indians since their massive loss to New Zealand was a bizarre,truncated affair with skipper MS Dhoni storming off in disgust along with Dinesh Karthik,who injured his right thumb batting in the nets in what were clearly dangerous conditions.
The Indians arrived at around 10 am and the batsmen promptly went about their task of having a knock,only to discover the practice pitches were damp and coated with uncomfortable layers of grass,making the ball either stop and rise alarmingly or move about in unplayable fashion.Dramatic moments unfolded soon after as Karthik hurt his right thumb trying to fend off one such delivery,immediately leaving the nets in pain as physio Nitin Patel rushed to inspect the damage.
Dhoni,also nursing a finger injury on his right hand which he picked up during the Test series,was batting in an adjacent nets and lost his cool in uncharacteristic fashion soon after.He stormed out of the practice area saying,Chhey din mey ek practice wicket nehi bana sakte (in six days they cant prepare a proper practice wicket)! Pura area geela hai (the entire pitch is wet). He headed straight to the dressing room,a considerable walk to the other side of the huge Rangiri International Stadium,and Karthik followed him soon after.I dont know if its okay,lets wait and see, Karthik said about the injury.
The duo fretted and fumed in the dressing room for 15-odd minutes before leaving for the team hotel,an uncharacteristic act of protest from someone termed Captain Cool.Coach Gary Kirsten too appeared agitated,immediately calling for the local liaison officer and groundsmen and asking them to prepare the wickets for practice on Sunday,the eve of Indias match against Sri Lanka.A grass-cutting machine was immediately employed but by then the damage was done,and the remaining Indians instead chose to focus on fielding drills at the main ground.
Though no official protest was lodged by the Indians,a pass-thebuck operation immediately got underway,with Sri Lanka Crickets national curator Anuruddha Polonwita being defiant and backing the local groundsmen.There is no conspiracy.The Indians have been practicing for two days and there was no problem.The Sri Lankans have also practiced here.India will practice tomorrow also, he told TOI.
Local groundstaff,however,said there was a lack of communication and the nets bowlers had agreed to bowl slow,an offer which the Indians naturally refused.A source said,It was the third practice wicket which was a problem.It was unprepared and the curator and assistant curator had instructed groundsmen to tell the Indians not to use that.I dont know why the Indians insisted on using it.There will be no problem tomorrow.
Indias team manager Ranjeeb Biswal said later,There would have been no point for Dhoni and Karthik to stay back and hence they left.They were naturally furious.However,there are no major injury scares,hopefully.We havent gone for any scans yet.
Most players chose to attend Saturdays session,with only Ashish Nehra,who is recovering from back spasms,opting to rest.Also missing out were Virender Sehwag and Suresh Raina,who were expected back from India only late in the night.
Interestingly,issues with the main playing area too have cropped up,with Kumar Sangakkara complaining after Fridays win over Sri Lanka that there were clumps coming out of the ground.There were pieces coming off the wicket,thats a reality.Teams need to bat well here whatever the result may be, the Sri Lankan skipper said.
His Kiwi counterpart,Ross Taylor,hinted that favoritism had played a part in the grass on the square being shaved off: They took off a bit of grass and didnt water the pitch for three days.Im not sure why.Im not sure whether they thought it would tear up.
The main pitches will be under the spotlight on Monday but the practice area will continue to be in focus on Sunday when the Indians resume training after a planned flag-hoisting ceremony to celebrate Independence Day.

Confident hosts face under-pressure India

Match Facts
Monday, August 16, 2010

The recent contests between Sri Lanka and India have had an interesting subplot: Kumar Sangakkara v MS Dhoni. The Indian captain made his views clear about the floodlights in Dambulla, the poor practice pitches, the toss factor, and the difficulty of chasing a target. Sangakkara, on the other hand, said, "If you can't win batting under lights, you are not a good team". He wasn't responding to Dhoni at the time, but Sri Lanka chased a target with ease against New Zealand, after India had lost to the same team by 200 runs. Both Sangakkara and Dhoni are also planning for the World Cup, assessing the arsenal at their disposal. Monday's game gives them another opportunity to find answers to certain questions.

India's questions are several: Is Ravindra Jadeja good enough? Is there an in-form allrounder who can replace Jadeja, or should the part-time spinners fill the role of the fifth bowler in the subcontinent? Is medium-pacer Abhimanyu Mithun good enough? Should Virat Kohli play in the middle order, or should Rohit Sharma be persisted with? Will Ishant Sharma's form dip further if he is looted for runs in this format? And how long will Dinesh Karthik continue to squander starts?

For quite some time Sri Lanka, too, have had problems with their combination. Can Chamara Kapugedera grab one of his numerous opportunities, or it time to give Dinesh Chandimal a run? Is Thilan Samaraweera a good fit for ODIs or should he be replaced with either Chamara Silva or Thisara Perera? Should Suraj Randiv be played with Ajantha Mendis or with Rangana Herath? Should Dilhara Fernando be given a game here and there?

In the short term, however, Monday's match is crucial to India's hopes of staying alive in the tri-series but they have been dealt a blow by the absence of Yuvraj Singh, who has been diagnosed with dengue fever. Ashish Nehra, who has some trouble with his gluteus muscles, is also uncertain.

A second defeat, following the bonus-point loss to New Zealand, will make it hard for Dhoni's men to engineer a turnaround. An Indian victory will leave all three teams on a win each and the tri-series wide open.

Watch out for...

Rohit Sharma has been having a tug-of-war with Virat Kohli over a middle-order spot for some time now. Both batsmen have had chances to cement it but neither has done so. Rohit has wasted more opportunities but he's made a comeback in recent times. He can bowl spin but Kohli can bowl medium-pace, and both were tagged with attitude problems in the past. The future perhaps belongs to both, but can Rohit grasp his chance now?

It's easy to like Chamara Kapugedera. He throws himself at the ball on the field, bats wherever his captain wants him to, and seems to be a good team man. But is that enough to save his spot, and could this series be his final shot at securing a permanent spot?

Team news

Sehwag and Raina had gone to India after the first game but both have returned to Dambulla and are available for selection. Ishant trained in the nets after an ankle injury forced him out of the first game and is likely to replace Mithun. In the event of Nehra's absence, Munaf Patel could be drafted in while Kohli could replace Yuvraj.

India (probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Dinesh Karthik, 3 Rohit Sharma, 4 Virat Kohli, 5 MS Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Praveen Kumar, 9 Ishant Sharma, 10 Pragyan Ojha, 11 Ashish Nehra/Munaf Patel

Sri Lanka (probable): 1 Upul Tharanga, 2 Tillakaratne Dilshan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt & wk), 4 Mahela Jayawardene, 5 Angelo Mathews, 6 Chamara Silva/Thilan Samaraweera, 7 Chamara Kapugedera/Thisara Perera, 8 Suraj Randiv, 9 Lasith Malinga, 10 Ajantha Mendis/Rangana Herath, 11 Nuwan Kulasekara.

* Thisara Perera seems to be an Indian specialist. He has played seven of his 10 games against India. His best bowling performance (2 for 27) is against India. His highest score (36 not out) is also against India. He is yet to play at home against India, though. His chance may come on Monday.

* Dinesh Karthik seems to be a Sri Lankan specialist. He averages 29.96 overall, but in 11 games against Sri Lanka he averages 37.75 and at a better strike rate (82.28) as well.

The spongy bounce that undid India in the opening game was absent in the second, which Sri Lanka won against New Zealand. Chasing under lights in Dambulla, however, has proved difficult and the captain that wins the toss is likely to bat.

"I don't think India are going in unprepared. Sides don't practice one day, it doesn't mean you aren't prepared. It will depend on what they are thinking about and the Indian team know that they are a good side.
Kumar Sangakkara doesn't make much of the lack of practice for the Indian team on the eve of the game due to rain.

"We treat him as a part of the side not a back-up bowler. He also qualifies for the game if he does well in the net sessions." MS Dhoni on Munaf Patel.

Workload too much on Indian bowlers: Dhoni

Injury-hit Indian bowlers are in desperate need of timely breaks, said skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, insisting that the workload on them is "a bit too much" compared to the batsmen.

The team is without pace spearhead Zaheer Khan, who is nursing a shoulder injury, while Ishant Sharma and Ashish Nehra are recuperating from niggles and are doubtful for the ODI tri-series match against Sri Lanka.

"Bowling department needs a bit more rotation compared to batting department. You have to see where exactly the bowler or the batsman is. Whether he plays a few more games or if he is given rest in the next few games. What will be the impact,"Dhoni said at the pre-match press conference.

"So, accordingly you decide if rest is needed. Then you give rest to the players so that they do not get injured and get some time to recover from niggles. That is the criteria when it comes to giving rest to someone. It has worked for us so far and I am just hoping that it will work for us in the near future," he said.

"The workload on the bowler can be too much if you see specially those playing both the Test matches and the ODIs.

Because the workload on them is a bit too much, that really challenges the limit. For batsmen, they don't have to put in the same amount of effort compared to a bowler," he added.

Asked whether the burden needs to reduced at the domestic level, Dhoni said it is upto the individual player to decide on that.

"I think it is upto the individuals to do their best in whatever opportunities they get. Whether it is domestic cricket like the Duleep Trophy, the Challengers and the Deodhar Trophy.

"It is better off personally if you can rest someone and prevent him from getting injured. You know that actually does not hamper his form. The kind of momentum that one gets because of good performances can just continue and he will always be in a positive frame of mind," he said.

It has been a frustrating trip to Sri Lanka for the Indians so far. They laboured to a 1-1 draw in the Test series and lost by 200 runs to New Zealand in the opening match of the ODI tri-series but Dhoni said the dressing room is still lively.

"We had some time off. So we tried to make the most of it. We had a few days off. I don't think the spirit has been affected that much. Of course, it was a disappointing loss. So hopefully we will turn up on the field well prepared for the challenges," he said.

Dhoni reiterated his displeasure over the practice wickets at the stadium.

"As far as the wicket is concerned, the players who went for practice during the last three days were not really happy with the kind of wicket that was provided. So, we are just hoping that the weather clears today and we get some time to practice. And hopefully the wickets will be good," he said.

Dhoni said off-colour all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja could be replaced with a specialist batsman.

"One thing that Jadeja was really doing well for us was he was bowling really well. In fact at times it seemed that we are playing with five specialist bowlers. So, if he is not doing that well with the ball definitely we can offer to have one more specialist batsmen," he said.

"If that number seven slot is not bowling that well then it is always better to have a specialist batsman but still I think Jadeja can do the job for us. I am just hoping he comes back to form and it is always good to have five bowlers considering the majority of his performances that he has done with the ball," he added.

Dhoni said given the tight schedule it was vital to keep off cricket during the short breaks.

"It is important to switch on and switch off," he said.

The Indians were bowled out for an embarrassing 88 in the tri-series opener and Dhoni hoped the young batsmen in the side have learnt their lesson as far as handling bounce is concerned.

"I think the youngsters who went for practice would have certainly got a bit of seam bowling because the wickets were very damp and there was lush green grass on the wicket. They must have seen that. I think you know whoever is part of the national side is talented enough to deal with any kind of condition or situation. I think it is just the mental side that we need to train a bit," he said.

Dhoni said back-up pacer Munaf Patel, who has been called in as cover for Ishant Sharma, could get a game if he does well in the nets.

"It is better to have a back up bowler. That is one of the reason why Munaf is here .But we treat him as a part of the side not a back up bowler. He also qualifies if he does well in the net sessions you know," he said.

Dhoni: Quite confused which option to pick during the toss. Kohli and Ishant come in, Mithun and Yuvi are not playing. There is a bit of a grass, looks like a good wicket. The groundsmen improved the practice conditions yesterday, it was not at it's best though but as long as the effort is made, no complaints.
Sangakkara: We will bat first, the ball swings early and seams in the night, so the advantage will be even. Herath and Mendis are not playing today, Fernando is back and Randiv will play today. These are not forced changes, the team line up is based on India's strengths and weaknesses.

Hawk eye confirms that it would have struck the top of the leg stump, PK is on a roll here. Jayawardene lbw b Praveen Kumar 4(11)
6.2
Praveen Kumar to Jayawardene, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!

hmm.. adupula irunthichi..

Pags: "Dhoni should bring back P. Kumar or I. Sharma to get rid of tailenders. I don't understand the tactics of using two spinners when P. Kumar has two in swinging overs." Fair point.

P.Kumar bowls like his initial in the slog overs. Let him complete his spell!

While on Yuvraj, one does feel for him. For, if not a hastily arranged India-Sri Lanka match, even when he went to IPL, he had to deal with Sanga and Mahela in his team, the former as captain. He must have seen S & M more than Yehali and Christine did in the last one year. Wonder if that's got to do with his loss of form, shape, fitness, everything

Sanga is appealing for nothing - we have seen that before though!, short, wide outside off, Sehwag went for the booming cut, the ball missed the bat by a huge margin, Sanga went up and then realised it was futile, changes his expression - which suggests it was very closeeeeeee

Malinga to Dhoni, FOUR, shot! squeezed through mid-off and extra cover. It's like a hockey shot, so bottom-handed, as if guiding it with his own hands, but all along the ground. It helps that this is a half-volley

Actually it is a stupid rule. If you notice, the ball has been added to Viru's tally (100th ball). So how will it go down in the scorebook? As a dot ball? Glad that this little farce has brought to limelight a stupid rule.

This incident brings back ugly memories of the under-arm fiasco involving Trevor Chappell after Greg Chappell asked him to carry that out act. Relations between India and SL, which at this point of time has been cordial could take a beating. Anyway, leaving aside that ugly incident it was a terrific innings from Sehwag who looked shaky at the start, but 'as is his wont' shifted gears and helped India win. In all this, let me remind you that India have garnered a bonus point

From: Sourav on 16th August 2010 10:01 PM [Full View]

But I reckon that Sehwag would not be the one to worry about such mundane things. Looks like the Lankan team had planned that no-ball and executed it to perfection. So much for Sanga's reputation as a model cricketer. Even the Aussies would not do something like this. Chris Harris and Atul Wassan in the Ten Sports' studio too feel that the no-ball was deliberate. They want a change in the law. This could turn into an ugly controversy

Not sure if it was intentional, need to catch the highlights to see if I can make my own judgement. Lankans do have a reputation for negatative tactics based on the past, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was a tactic too. If it is indeed true, then what a shame on Sangakarra! The game no longer belongs to the gentlemen.

Thanks LM!

Now, I don't even have to watch the highlights to say that this over stepping is too blatant to be unintentional.

What a shame? Not sure if Sangakarra has any part in this but this is really cheap and unsporting of Sangakarra/Siri Langans!

I used to admire Sangakarra (and even now) as a batsman but I lost all my respect for him as a sportsman.

And I don't understand the rationale behind this rule/law, of how come runs scored off the bat is not counted even if the runs scored is in addition to the required target. Having said that, still as a cricket law (by the book) it is not a big deal, either way.

A match is over the moment the winning runs are scored, in this case, when the no ball is bowled.

From: Sourav on 17th August 2010 07:14 AM [Full View]

Randiv has never bowled a no-ball b4 in his int. career... this was the first time...

Sangakkara denied the allegations. “I hope it’s not deliberate. That’s not the way I would like to play my cricket. If that was intentional, then I am yet to find out about it. That has got no place on the field of cricket. I don’t think he (Randiv) is that sort of player. If it is deliberate, of course, I will have to have a chat with him and make sure that things like that don’t happen again. I will also have to see if there was any talk about it on the field prior to that delivery,” Sangakkara said.

When there is one run to win and the batsman smashes a four, but complete one run before the ball reaches the boundary, then what is it counted as? AFAIK it is counted as a boundary. Why should it be any different in this case?
Poor stuff from Lanka. These guys, if I remember right, won the fairplay award in last world cup under mahela. I think sanga is of the aussie mould. Several of his organs speak, not just the mouth. Hypocritical, double-speaking, mean-spirited, aussie-minded fellow

I don't see what's wrong with that. It is not compared to this 'alleged' peevishness.

There the prolonging of play was precisely in order to get the century. So Sangakkara was well within his rights to deny Sachin that and for Sachin to earn it.

Yesterday, I think you are reading and attributing too much into it. If he wanted to really deny he could have simply bowled an unplayable wide.

From: Plum on 17th August 2010 09:41 AM [Full View]

Feeyaar, agree with you on sachin's century. Yesterday, I don't know - he could have bowled a wide but by now, that is a patented century denying tactic so maybe, a new tactic was invented. Randiv's anti-fernando history and the extent of noball raises huge doubrs

It was not exactly wrong. I was just pointing out the previous instance where he tried to deny a century.

Randiv was way off the mark yesterday. A spinner overstepping to that extent cannot be accidental. Given Sangakkara's credentials, I couldn't just brush this aside.

Sachin has to earn it - right but Naseer Hussain used same negative tactics but it was for team's cause, it bcame part of da game - but using it to deny one's particular century - surely not in spirit of the game

i dont think that byes was deliberate... actually there was no proper close-up reply on that, they just moved to next ball.

viru played those two balls in backfoot, he might thought randiv will bowl shorter ones (stumped on 99 incident), so he stayed on backfoot and tried to cut... but, balls were not short, he found the fielder both times.

I don't see what's wrong with that. It is not compared to this 'alleged' peevishness. There the prolonging of play was precisely in order to get the century. So Sangakkara was well within his rights to deny Sachin that and for Sachin to earn it.

Sachin has to earn it - right but Naseer Hussain used same negative tactics but it was for team's cause, it bcame part of da game - but using it to deny one's particular century - surely not in spirit of the game

Hmm...that session was precisely about Sachin's century and nothing else.
The match or result was not what was at stake and both sides knew that. And when India wants the session extended for that reason the opposition would try to deny it. I will not even say this was against the spirit of the game. At that stage the game was itself only about Sachin's century.

SLC apologises to Sehwag for Randiv's no ball

An "upset" Sri Lanka [ Images ] Cricket (SLC) on Tuesday apologised to Indian opener Virender Sehwag [ Images ] for the deliberate no-ball bowled by off-spinner Suraj Randiv which left him stranded on 99 in their tri-series match in Dambulla and promised action on the matter after getting a probe report.

SLC secretary Nishantha Ranatunga called up the Indian team manager Ranjib Biswal and apologised for Monday's incident.

Sehwag was just one short of his 13th ODI hundred when Randiv, who had not bowled a no ball in the Test or ODI series this season, bowled one which was hit by the opener for a six.

However, it did not count because the no ball amounted to India's [ Images ] winning run leaving Sehwag on an unbeaten 99.

Randiv's antics were criticised by Sehwag in the post match press conference and to put an end to the furore, Ranatunga gave Biswal a call to apologise.

"In the morning, Ranatunga called me up personally and apologised on behalf of the Board for the Sehwag incident," Biswal said.

"He said this was not in the spirit of the game. Nishantha said 'We have a good relationship with India and we apologise for yesterday's incident'," Biswal revealed.

The Indian manager said Ranatunga asked him to convey the apologies to Sehwag.

"Since the secretary has called us, we are treating this matter as closed," Biswal said.

Ranatunga said that the SLC is awaiting the report from the team manager before deciding on further course of action.

"We have asked him to probe the incident. We will take necessary action in this regard once we get the report. We are upset about the incident and we are unhappy as Sri Lankan cricketers have won the ICC [ Images ] spirit of the game award thrice and these things won't be tolerated," he said.

India comprehensively won Monday's match by six wickets but the conduct of the Sri Lankan team caused upset in the visitors' camp.

Minutes after the game, a livid Sehwag said that Sri Lanka had used such tactics earlier also, pointing out that they had left Sachin Tendulkar [ Images ] stranded at 99 with a similar strategy in a match in Cuttack.

Sehwag said that Randiv had not bowled a single no ball earlier and asked "How can he bowl one at this point?"

"It was clear that the Lankan team did not want me to get to my 100," the opener said.

There the prolonging of play was precisely in order to get the century. So Sangakkara was well within his rights to deny Sachin that and for Sachin to earn it.

Yesterday, I think you are reading and attributing too much into it. If he wanted to really deny he could have simply bowled an unplayable wide.

Sehwag Did Get His Century!

So it is now open season on Suraj Randiv, who bowled the no-ball that ‘denied’ Virender Sehwag a century he truly deserved (In contrast to those knocks where he blazes away from ball one, on this particular occasion Sehwag absorbed the loss of his colleagues at the other end, battled with the demons of the pitch and atmosphere, revealed an unsuspected ability to do the grind, and fulfilled the fantasies of millions of Indian fans who, ever since the swashbuckler made his debut, have lusted after the possibility that one day, he will bat through an innings). It is also open season on Kumar Sangakkara, the Sri Lankan captain, who if the transcription of words picked up from the stump mike is to believed, reminded Randiv, just as he prepared to bowl the decisive ball, that “If he hits it, he gets the run”.

Digression: Consider Randiv’s brains, or lack thereof. If Kumar was in fact instructing his bowler, was that instruction to bowl a no-ball? Ridiculous – a batsman can and, in this instance did, hit a no-ball. A more canny bowler would have bowled a wide – because it is the wide that, by definition, you cannot hit.

But back to cases: So everyone, from the Sri Lankan cricket board to sundry Indian stars of yesteryear, have been banging on about the Lankans’ lack of sportsmanship (If there is any irony in Mohammad Azharuddin, who was banned from international cricket for match-fixing and related activities, talking of the spirit of the sportsman, ignore it, please – it is also the silly season).

What strikes us is how the public discourse, and wall to wall ‘exclusive’ coverage on television channels, misses the point: Sehwag was denied his century not by the Kumar-Suraj combine, but by scorers and umpires who were clearly asleep and/or ignorant of rules that, incidentally, have been framed so ambiguously as to convert a fairly simple proposition into a complicated situation.

Here is what happened, pure and simple: Randiv bowled. The umpire called ‘no-ball’. There is a reason the umpire calls it as soon as a bowler bowls one – it is to let the batsman know that there are no real penalties attached to having a go. A batsman, on hearing that call, knows he can have a swing without running the risk of being bowled, caught, declared LBW.

So Randiv bowled. The umpire called. Sehwag had a swing, and despatched the ball over the ropes.

That logically is seven runs added to the total – one to the team total as an extra, the other six to Sehwag, the batsman who was quick to seize on the opportunity. Simple.

This is where the idiocy of umpires and the ambiguity of the rule book come in: How could the game be over as soon as Randiv over-stepped? A ball, to be deemed bowled, has to be delivered; the batsman has to play/miss it; in the case of the former the ball has to be retrieved while the batsman runs, or not…there is no provision in cricket for declaring a result, and ending a match, at some intermediate stage of this process.

Thus, for umpires to declare that the game was over as soon as Randiv overstepped is plain folly. To understand this, consider a hypothetical situation: Randiv bowls. It is a no-ball. Sehwag decides the game is over, lets the ball go and walks off. Sangakkara collects and whips off the bails.

Is the batsman out? Of course he is. The extra run cannot be counted until the ball in question is officially dead; in our example Sehwag left his crease while the ball was in play, therefore he is out.

So, if his dismissal off a no ball counts, why were the runs he scored off that no ball not counted to his name?

The question, simplified: How could the umpires, or the scorers, or both, consider the match over before the ball had completed its necessary course?

Read Law 24 (No ball)

Runs resulting from a No ball

The one run penalty for a No ball shall be scored as a No ball extra. If other penalty runs have been awarded to either side, these shall be scored as in Law 42.17 (Penalty runs). Any runs completed by the batsmen or a boundary allowance shall be credited to the striker if the ball has been struck by the bat; otherwise they also shall be scored as No ball extras.

Where is the ambiguity? The law clearly says that any runs completed by the batsman, or a boundary allowance, off a no ball shall be credited to the striker.

Sehwag ‘completed’ a sixer. His score – unless the scorer is a congenital idiot – should have been 105. End of story.

The key is to understand that a game is not declared over midway through a cricketing action – which is the space between a ball being ‘live’ and being ‘dead’. Consider this example: India needs one run to win. Sehwag whacks the ball high in the air. While the ball is in the air, the batsman cross over and complete a run. The ball comes down, and is caught.

Is the game over, simply because the batsmen had crossed while the ball was in the air, and had not yet been caught? No, the verdict in this case would be, the batsman is out, the run doesn’t count. So clearly, runs and results are not declared at some arbitrary point while the ball is live – such a determination happens only after the ball is ‘dead’.

The fallacy appears to be in the thinking that any runs accruing to the batsman and/or side after a result is achieved do not count. That is equally a fallacy. Here is an illustrative example:

India needs to get one run to win. Sehwag drives, and the batsman race across for a single. The ball then goes on to cross the boundary. Do you award Sehwag one run, or four? Clearly, the answer is ‘four’ – despite the fact that the first of those runs won the game.

It is not the intention of this post to ‘excuse’ what Randiv did, or what Sangakkara asked him to do. That action was clearly unsporting, childish, petty. Here was one of the great batsman of the modern era, in challenging conditions, digging deep within himself to play a match-winning innings that was contrary to type. A gracious opposition would have admired, applauded; instead, the Lankans appear to have conspired to score a childish ‘victory’.

Fair enough. What beats us, though, is this: Why is there, amidst all this noise, no attempt to question the outcome declared by the scorers? Why is there no debate on the central question? Where were the umpires, the match referee? And where, incidentally, was the Indian team management that it did not think to question the scorers’ declared result?

1 wicket. Since the win was registered before the dismissal happened.

From: GP on 18th August 2010 03:42 PM [Full View]

yeah, thats how the rule is (or thats how it is understood).
but it is unfair, when the ball is added to the number of balls faced by the batsman, he deserves the runs scored of that ball.
in this match, that no ball was added to number of balls faced by sehwag, which means Sehwag scored zero of the ball.

We were under impression that in normal situations of the game even in a no ball, you get the runs. I was under the impression that Sehwag was on 105. There was no instance we thought he was denied a 100. Tony Greig asked me at the post-match presentation, Sehwag was denied a hundred. That was a surprise to me, I don't think anyone understood intricacies of the law in first place," he said.

Call me naive but I believe this.

Suraj Randiv was suspended for one match and Tillakaratne Dilshan slapped a fine of 50 percent of his match fees following an inquiry into the no-ball controversy that denied Virender Sehwag a century in the third ODI of the tri-series between India and Sri Lanka.

The six-member committee, constituted to probe the incident, met on Wednesday afternoon and handed out the punishments.

Randiv, who will have to sit out of Sri Lanka's tri-series match against New Zealand on Thursday, will also lose his fees from the match against India.

Call me naive but I believe this.

Have you seen the match presentation? Tony Greig asked a straight question and Sangakkara's response was there for every one to see. I am not claiming that this is a damning evidence of his intent, we had enough of those on the field.

And his blaming of Sehwag for making Randiv's apology public??? Ridiculous! If he HAD apologized there is nothing wrong in letting everyone know that. I think there was no delusions about whether the no ball was intentional or not, only question left was whether Randiv was naive enough to shun from accepting it ,thinking people would think otherwise. In that regard, I would say Sehwag saved some face for him.

Randiv, who will have to sit out of Sri Lanka's tri-series match against New Zealand on Thursday, will also lose his fees from the match against India.

Suraj Randiv has been suspended by Sri Lanka Cricket for one match following the no-ball controversy that denied Virender Sehwag a century during Monday's match between India and Sri Lanka.

This is what I wanted to know.

Upping the ante were statements issued by the ICC - which said it would wait for SLC to act - and the Indian board, which called for strict action

Oh !

Sehwag's initial reaction was to shrug it off in typical manner but he later said Randiv had done it deliberately

Good ! and that's called 'fair play' !

OTOH, I was initially angry with Randiv and after getting to know the apology, i kinda started feeling pity for him. and i thot this was the intension for Viru to post tweet that to public, to control their anger on Randiv.

Haven't seen. I saw the last ball 6 assumed Sehwag hit 105 and swapped channels.

Hmm...I think Sangakkara was referring to Sehwag mentioning that this was the second time SL was doing it to India etc. which was different from Sehwag's initial reaction.

My view is, nothing wrong at all with Sehwag's reaction. His reflex reaction would have been politeness but later he may have said what he felt.

Originally Posted by Benny Lava

Till Randiv 'confessed/apologized' etc. it was not as clear to me as it seems to be for everyone else here. I don't think it is widely known that the match 'ends' with the no-ball. That and the two 'good' balls before that make me still reluctant to suspect Randiv or others in the SL team. So even now I feel reluctant to read the apology as admission of malicious intent.

We all know as to how Shewag's stand changed post apology. It's obvious that matter was 'sensationalised' by Shewag and Co only after the apology. mannippu kEkkaama vittirunthaa Randiv could have easily proved that it was unitensional given the two good balls delivered earlier. And I would congratulate Randiv for his guts and courage to apologise. Mannippu kEkkuRavan manushan mannikkiRavan hehehe

From: Puliyan_Biryani on 19th August 2010 12:14 PM [Full View]

A more plausible explanation would be: Randiv was not aware of the no-ball rule when he was bowling those two good balls. Just before the final ball, Dilshan planted the idea (Inception hangover) that Randiv could bowl a no-ball if he wants. Since it is a senior member's valuable(???) advice, Randiv unsuspectingly bowls the no-ball.

Storm in a tea-cup. I appreciate Sehwag's tactics in raising a storm over this as a sledging and mind-game effort but otherwise, taking the moral high ground and all....

But knowing Sri Lanka, any such bullying tactics only serve to tie them together as an unit and use that as a peg to motivate players. So, Sanga might well have the last laugh.

Sanga is a lawyer. And a lawyer he is. apdi thAn iruppAr. Although people generally bracket Mahela with him, I think there is a drastic difference in their leadership. Sanga talks the talk, but pushes the limits of law with its loopholes like Aussies. Under Mahela, SL obviously won the spirit of Cricket trophy many times and rightly so. I dont think any other team did better than them on that around then. Certainly, nobody has any moral high ground to take here - neither Sanga nor India.

Both these happened before the apology of Randiv if i am not wrong.

From: Plum on 19th August 2010 04:22 PM [Full View]

Sehwag is an interesting personality. He is a pretty straight forward guy however there is a cunning streak in him which surfaces occasionally during opportune moments. He likes to think he is above board and has certain standards that he will live by - the aggressive batting for instance, it is not a method, it is a principle for him. But the guy is shrewd enough to know when to compromise - like in the last ODI or in Perth test.

His other aspect is the shrewd cricketing brain, be it bowling changes, bowling, tactics, sledging and mind games.

I think the normal Sehwag reacted cooly to Randiv saying milestones dont matter. What I think happened in the press conference was a shrewd recognition that this can be used to put-off Randiv and Sri lanka off their game by putting pressure on them on sportsmanship. If, for instance, a similar situation came up in the finals, or a crucial SL-India match next, what would Randiv do? Would he go by the cool sehwag who said this is normal or the press conference one who cunningly put the burden of conscience on Randiv? Most likely the latter. Or, possibly a general point to prove when Randiv bowls to Sehwag. To push Randiv into a "I want to prove to the world that Sehwag is crap" mode. Because note that Lankans have been bowling to a plan at him, and Randiv has been disciplined in executing the plan. Anything disrupting that is a welcome change for Sehwag.(Not that he cant destroy a disciplined Randiv but a bonus is always welcome, isnt it?)

True. But Sangakkara is referring to difference between the presentation ceremony versus post-match conference.

I think it just 'sunk in' then and he reacted. Or he must have been more sure then what the loss of the century meant. Or - to jump into the speculation bandwagon, albeit from the other side - someone may have egged him to make an issue out of this.

He is a shrewd guy, he know what ever he says, would be picked up by the stumps mic! He knows all the loop holes in ICC , their Rules, their terms & conditions etc etc

He is also a 'well known' sledger, who used to constantly sledge the Aussies, English and the South Africans

He is not scared to voice out his opinion.

Mahela on the other hand is completely different character, a bit like Murali

From: PARAMASHIVAN on 19th August 2010 05:06 PM [Full View]

Mahela in many ICC nominations

Sri Lankan players prominently feature in this year's nominations
Sri Lanka's Mahela Jayawardena is among eight international players prominently feature in many categories at this year’s ICC Awards.
Jayawardena who was recently appointed as the deputy to skipper Kumara Sangakkara following the retirement of Muttiah Muralitharan is nominated for the Test Player of the Year and Twenty20 International Performance of the Year categories.

Sri Lanka skipper, the world's top Test batsman, is among the nominees for the Cricketer of the Year and Test Player of the Year awards but star spinner Muralitharan is not among the nominees for any category.

Sri Lanka's Thilan Samaraweera was also nominated for the Test Player award while Tillekeratne Dilshan is nominated for the ODI player of the Year.

Murali not nominated

The awarding ceremony will be held in Bengaluru (formerly Bangalore), India on 6 October.

Murali, who created a world record with 800 Test wickets is not among the nominees

Sri Lanka's young all-rounder Angelo Mathews is among the nominees for the Emerging Player while Nuwan Kulasekera also features in Twenty20 International Performance.

“For the first time, this year’s awards feature a new category, the LG People’s Choice Award. This award will be chosen by cricket fans around the world who will get a chance to vote for their favourite player online from a short-list of five cricketers,” the ICC said in a statement.

The long-lists of nominations were made by a five-man ICC selection panel chaired by former West Indies captain and current chairman of the ICC Cricket Committee Clive Lloyd.

The panel also includes former international players Angus Fraser of England, Matthew Hayden of Australia, Ravi Shastri of India and Zimbabwe’s Duncan Fletcher.

But I don't think he's the dirty annoying sledger, more 'getting on your nerves' babble.

Once I recall when Pollock was captain and came out to bat in a difficult situ the stump mic picked up Sangakkara sayingcloudly: "come on.... captain Shaun out to bat here...expectation of the nation is on Shaun"

master, except senior players and raina all other player's performances r patchy only.... ithula jadu-vai mattum thookkanumnu solrathu than onnum purila... should give him a chance @ 4 or 5 in few matches... he is definitely not a no-7 b'man.... but 30 yards circle thanda maattannu solrathellam over... i checked his domestic+ipl stats... neraya six ellam adichirukkan...40+ :P he has bowled well in last yr matches... t20 wc-ku appuram than sarila... apdi paatha bhajjji ellam eppovo team-i vittu thookki irukkanumae... i believe he has the talent to become a good all-rounder, he should be groomed 4 future...

Sourav,

We don't have much time to groom a player for No. 7 before WC 2011. If he is batting at No.8, nobody would have a problem with Jadeja. Making him bat at any postion above 8 is a strict no-no.

If you judge a player with IPL stats, then we can bring in Yusuf Pathan as well :P

IPL is meant for hitting sixes with shorter boundaries. It's not the same in International cricket. I haven't seen a single ODI innings from him that proves he can be a no.7,

Adheydhaan naanum solren. No.7 is a difficult position to bat and Jadeja doesn't have the ability to bat there. Jadeja has earned the reputation of spoiling the tempo within the few matches he had played. At least Rohit had played few good innings earlier. Tell me one match Jadeja had finished the chase or increasing the run rate in slog overs.

Vinod, he is a decent batsman at the domestic level for TN... moreover, he must be playing in # 7 as a specialist bowler NOT as an all rounder (of course, he is NOT)... I don't expect much from Ashwin as a batsman...

Sourav,

Robin Singh-kku enna kuraichal-nen

From: Puliyan_Biryani on 20th August 2010 12:31 PM [Full View]

I am totally against bits and pieces players.

IMHO, these should be the selection criteria.
Batsman - Selected only if he is capable of scoring 100 (I know No. 6,7 roles are different. But when there is a situation like 60/4, the batsman coming in should be capable (or atleast inspire confidance) of scoring a 100 and taking the score to 250 minimum).
Bowler - Capable of taking 3-4 wickets. (No point in having a main bowler who will give 10 economical overs. Wickets can choke the opposition more than dots. Plum, you can take over from here)
Batting all-rounder - Capable of making 50+ contributions at a good strike rate and bowling 7-8 decent overs picking 1 maybe 2 wickets.
Bowling all-rounder - Capable of bowling 10 overs picking a couple of wickets and holding his own with the bat for about 30+ (Since he would be batting down the order, strike rate would be important).

Please underline the word capable. There should be some potential shown that the person is capable. Potential is one of the hardest things to judge but we have to take a call with what we heard/know/see. And Jadeja fails me in this respect. If he can prove me wrong, then I would be very happy for India

Master, Agree on this!!

but If we don't have all rounders, go for specialists.. we are weak in the bowling dept.. even our frontline bowlers cannot complete full quota... so, add one extra bowler... 6 bats / 5 bow.. # 7 batsman cannot do much...

7+4 would be my choice. Ippallam endha team-um 5 bowlers use pandradhilla. I would actually prefer Dinesh Karthik as No.7 (He can be a good finisher). Sehwag/Yuvraj/Raina can share 5th bowler's quota.

Our bowlers are not that bad. If the conditions are little helpful to bowlers, they always do better. For the past two years, we have been playing on runways and that makes our bowling look worse. As ICC tournaments have their own curators, I believe pitches wouldn't be batting paradises.

As he was about to finish the first run, he bumped into Nathan, the bowler, while trying to ground the bat. The bowler didn't like it. The umpires got into picture. Now Sanga has been charged.

BCCI, instead of chartering planes and coarsely removing Bucknoe, should learn from vellakaaran on naasokkana naadharithanam, and get the match referee panel infiltrated with ranatunga, miandad and the likes. Sambar indians like srinath should be removed from match referee panel. Then we should ban white players for minor offences and leave durby scot free for racist offences.

25.3 and PK is gone first ball! Caught at mid-off! Perera on a hat-trick. PK looks at the pitch, then the bat. It was an extravagant drive on a back-of-a-length ball outside off. Nowhere near it. Ordinary shot, good, old tailender shot 77/7

Indian media boycott Dhoni's press conference
Press Trust of India 22 August 2010 (Dambulla)

Indian print media on Sunday boycotted captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni's press conference as he did not turn up despite repeated reminders after his side slumped to a eight-wicket loss to Sri Lanka in a tri-series match here.

After the match, the mediapersons waited for Dhoni for the press conference but he was busy playing football.

Despite sending repeated reminders, he did not turn up to address the waiting media, which angered the Indian print journalists who then decided to boycott the press briefing.

Normally, captains have the responsibility to address post-match press conference though at times other players, who did well in the match, turn up to face the journalists.

But on Sunday, neither Dhoni nor any other Indian player came to address the press conference.

Should Dharmasena be banned

Sehwag was left stranded by umpire Dharmasena on 12, 88 short of what would have been a richly deserved 13th hundred.

Sehwag has confirmed, Dharmasena came to his room to apologize.

Sri Lanka Cricket has moved swiftly, Dharmasena will miss the next match. Dilshan who prompted Dharmasena to raise the finger will lose 50% of his match fees.

IMO we don't need a Sehwag special to beat the inexperienced NZ. If our spinners do well, we have every chance of beating them. SL is a different proposition, and top 3 needs to fire to beat them (like Karthik's 66 as an opener in the Asia Cup final).

Karthik - Gets one or two chances here and there and that too on the most difficult assignments. When we play on Indian flat tracks he is conveniently forgotten. He was the second highest scorer when Sachin made 200 (as No. 3), highest scorer in Asia Cup final (as opener). Agreed, he has a knack of throwing good starts away and doesn't seem capable of pinning the opposition down with huge scores.

The likes of Kohli and Sharma would have said a loud NO when asked to open in place of Gambhir. Kohli opened in his first series as he had to prove himself then, but now he is on top of the selector's list and doesn't have to be that desperate. Kohli, Sharma know that middle order slots are available and they would get their chances (instead of spoiling their chances by opening). Karthik is more like a scapegoat made to play at whatever position the team likes. He is bound to fail there and nobody would bother if he is dropped. Karthik team-laye irukkakoodadhungaradhu ennoda karuthu, aana avanukku neraya chance kuduthomnu solradhu ellaam konjam over. He has the best attitude among the current crop of youngsters (but unfortunately not the game, maybe the 2 qualities dont go hand in hand and if it does we would get a Sachin or Dravid), so I feel sorry for Karthik in that perspective. mathapadi truth being told "you are not good enough to make it to the team as proper batsman so there is the door and see you when Dhoni is injured/rested".

Karthik (during IPL 3) : I would like to play the finisher's role for my teams (DD, India)

Karthick can be good at # 7.. I would still go with 7 + 4 only if we have Zaheer, Nehra, Praveen & harbhajan.. else, it is better to go with 6 + 5...

i feel karthik is the guy who got more chances than any other in the recent times. but, he proved his worth on very few occasions only... thats too some 50+ 40+ score, never been a threatening scorer to the opposition. even PK can hit 4,5 50s if he got chance to open the innings (or top order) in 50 matches... talent irukku ellam ok than... but, output sarillaiyeppa...

He said that bad decisions 'happens' in cricket, thats why he is persisting referal system for both tests and ODI's also he said that India is the only country against this system.

From: Plum on 23rd August 2010 02:50 PM [Full View]

adhAnE pArthEn. vaaippai nazhuva viduvAnA SangakAaran!

The only problem with referral system is that umpires, match referees and fourth umpires will still be anti-BCCI and fesering an antipathy for Indian Cricketers and Indian Cricket. So, marginal decisions will still go against India. What's more, it will deny even the occasional mistaken howlers in favour of India by some of these umpires. I think Indian board and players sense this and hence the opposition.

IMO selectors didn't give chance to Karthik for cementing his place but just to use a stop-gap replacement in tough conditions. So not all fault lies with him and selectors are to be blamed mostly. eppadiyo sila chance kedaichudhe use pannirukkalaame-nu solreengala. Read my first sentence again

We would have lost the match and the home series if not for KKD's 90 odd with a crucial partnership with Dravid.

Of course Dravid was the star of the match with centuries in both innings and Kumble cleaned them in the last innings. But surely Dinesh Karthik's innings showed that he 'had arrived'.

And as someone who had misgivings about the rise of a certain gentleman who had the tendency to playe square drives with both feet in the air and was threatening to enter the Test scene, I was glad about Dinesh Karthik.

Did really well in England in tests as opener, no less. That's something Kohli or Raina or Sharma will never be able to do - and dont tell me they are midlde order batsmen so they can't. Karthik isnt a natural opener himself.
But, unfortunately, like in Corporate enviornments, the game trier who trys and fails pays the price more than the calculative smarty who doesnt try at all. This, even if the cost-benefit of the former's failure is higher than the latter's lack of try.

P_R, not forgetting any of that. In fact, he did an admirable job when he was asked to perform the opener's role in a few tests. After just a couple of failures he was discarded in favour of Dravid as an opener and then Viru took his place back. So did the selectors really want him to cement his place is what I asked.

His best role would be that of a wicket-keeper batsman lower down the order. He can run quick singles and can find the boundaries cheekily. But he has to fight for that role against a better(???) prototype. So he should be used as a replacement for Dhoni. He shouldn't be in the team as a proper batsman (adhukkudhan andha analogy).

Sourav, the Zim and SL pitches are bowing pitches (just see India's totals in those matches). When we play in Indian featherbeds he is either not selected or played down the order. kootti kazhichu paarunga kanakku sariya varum.

Murali Vijay is our next hope. Though I always like to see the best XI take the field for India, 1 or 2 TN players would be nice (oru nappaasaidhaan).

I remember during 1999-2001 lot of TN players were selected (once upto 6 players in the squad). I was rooting for Badani at that time and he even scored a ODI 100 against Aus. But not even one of them could nail their spots. :sigh:

Actually, TN talents dont get the same backing as their counterparts. It is just that we dont have a Sachin Tendulkar or Sehwag who are beyond backing.

You can see how 2001 still plays a role in keeping hte undeserving Durby in the team.
If you compare like to like, you'll find TN players get lesser chances (e.g.)
Dinesh Mongia got far more chances than Badani. Mongia scored 159 agains Zim while Badani scored 100 against Australia.

Ofcourse, you cant compare Raina and Vijay and say that Raina sealed his spot in less chances. Their talent levels are different but Vijay will get lesser chances than Kohli or Jadeja.

Another fact, even today, it seems if you speak any other language than Hindi or English in dressing room you are fined ! So, if Dinesh and Vijay happen to speak in tamil between themselves, they are fined because it creates disharmony in the team - for who knows what maa-behen gaali you are giving others in tamil - while praveen and Nehra can maa-behen between themselves and nobody should think it as aimed a them. Because every Indian should know Hindi you know. In such an environment, you will always be the outsider and that dynamic will sure have an impact. You end up like Dinesh Karthik sucking up to even Nehra who maa-behens him. While a Praveen Kumar will command Balaji to speak in Hindi.

It will take a Sachin-level talent from TN to transcend all this. Even then, he will be dropped if he has one bad series.

Those are schools were parents admit their children where one of the several thing they expect is improved English fluency. As kids will naturally default to their mother tongue they can prevent they have a fine system.

Even here, I have no problems with the fine system as such. Except the allowance for people to speak in Hindi too. English, else fine, should have been the system. In practice this will easily become a Hindi only environment where the Murali Vijays of the world have to pick up the language.

Yeah ! ennannu theriyalai.
I had this classmate who couldn't understand how couple of us from TN were fluent in Hindi.

She had this thing for shuddh Hindi as well as Urdu and wanted to impress upon us the nuances. As equa quoting GM would say: inge paLLikoodam pakkamE pOnadhillai 'ngrEn....

My theory is, I guess their other option is to be the 'lesser Bengalis' (who are our comrades in arms in the language issue) and so they want to resist that by taking the opposite stand.

Praveen Kumar is not team management and not sure what issue u are talking abt..

In this case based on whether that was in friendly tone or a different tone it was Balaji's responsibility to handle it accordingly :P

Such sense of entitlement is anathema to me. Infact, I feel guilty for surviving without learning Marathi for 3 years in Mumbai.
Nevertheless, you'll agree that this sense of entitlement is entrenched and inherent among indhi-wallahs much more than any other linguistic group.

But we can easily say harmless because you and I know Hindi very fluently, and can possibly pass off for indhikaaran(by default, in Chennai people mistake me for north indies folks.

Need a spark of brilliance in batting: Mahendra Singh Dhoni

Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni today defended his woefully out-of-form batsmen, saying he team just needs one individual spark of brilliance for the entire line-up to click in the must-win tri-series match against New Zealand.

"You want one batsman to play a big innings in all games, whichever the batsman may be, especially on these kind of wickets. It can be termed as individual brilliance because you have one batsman batting through and the others batting around him," Dhoni said in a pre-match press conference.

"It's more about the mindset because in one-day cricket you're so used to going after and hitting the bowlers right from the first delivery. It's not only in the sub-continent, throughout the world you see wickets are a lot flatter now, especially for the one-dayers," he explained.

"If you talk about the batting collapses, it's happened twice in three games. But if it is said that this is the batting strength of our side, I won't agree with that. One thing we can't deny is that we have had two batting failures and we have to rectify the problem, get on the wicket and try to score some runs," he added.

Dhoni said the key to success on the pitches here is to play steadily for at least 20 overs before cutting loose.

"To give respect to the bowlers for the first 10 overs, and the next 40 overs is yours. This is one of those venues where you have to prolong the respect for bowlers by another 10 overs. If you don't lose too many wickets for 20 overs, then you can really dictate the bowlers and can have your own game plan set after that," he said.

The crushing previous defeats to New Zealand (by 200 runs) and Sri Lankan (by eight wickets) have been hard to take, admitted Dhoni but insisted that the team can recover.

"As a team, we are disappointed about it. But if you see, all the matches have been one-sided, which suggests if you lose too many wickets early, there is a big batting collapse. We have seen it happen throughout the tournament," he said.

"The batsmen are trying to work out their plans as to what needs to be done. They are not getting out to rash shots. They are trying to battle through and there are times when you can't do that. That's what happened in the last two games when we had batting collapses. So at the end of the day, when you are in the middle, you just have to find a way as to how you can get the runs because the pressure keeps on mounting," he added.

On the dreadful form of Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja, Dhoni said the duo may be struggling right now but both of them have proved themselves to be match-winners in the past.

"You have to see the strength. What kind of stability one brings into the side. Especially, if you see Ravindra Jadeja, if you see his bowling performance in the past one and half years, he had quite a few bad games in between but overall, a majority of games he has bowled really well.

"His batting has dipped down but if he can contribute with the bat, he is the option with whom we can play with five bowlers. He is literally our fifth bowler who has done well for us unless you can find an all-rounder who can bowl 10 overs for us," he explained.

"Rohit, I think, it's a tricky situation for him. Always in and out of the side. There's a pressure when you are always in and out of the side. He was unfortunate to get out once when he didn't get the umpire's decision in his favour. So two innings, I don't really think is good enough to decide whether a player is good or not. But of course, he is working hard. We are just hoping he comes up and scores some big runs," he added.

On former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram criticism that the youngsters in the team are too spoilt and soft, Dhoni said the he wasn't aware of such comments but just a couple of bad performances should not invite such remarks.

"I don't know what Wasim Akram said. For me, what's important is how the team is shaping up. if you talk about the team being soft, they have done really well in adverse and difficult conditions. Whether it's in Australia or the Twenty20 World Cup or some of the other tournaments where we were not at our best," he pointed out.

"Even in the Asia Cup, we did well with the youngsters. So I don't think you should be clever enough to make a statement based on three or four games. It's the overall picture that you set. I think the guys are courageous enough to go through any conditions or situations thrown at them.

"We are on the backfoot right now, with the conditions maybe. But these are the boys who will ultimately be part of the Indian cricket team now or sometime later," he added.

Asked whether India would consider going in with seven batsmen to strengthen the fragile-looking line-up, Dhoni said packing more willow-wielders was no guarantee for huge scores.

"That's definitely one of the options but again you have to see whether in these conditions we can bowl well with the part-timers because if we let them score to many runs, it becomes difficult to chase. At the same time, it may be difficult to contain them if they are chasing.

"We have to strike a balance but if the team feels the need to have additional specialist batsman and we can play around with the part-timers, we can look at that. But as I say, it's more like a gamble and you have balance the positives and the negatives of having an individual in the side," he said.

idhai yen arrogance/thimir-nu eduthukkanum? oru corporate culture-nu vachukkonga. If everybody speaks in the same language then there is no need for people to be worried or wondering about back-stabbing comments. Imagine if Cheeka and Vijay were talking in Tamil and they mention something like Ishant party curfew-a follow panraan. Wouldn't Ishant feel Vijay is giving some incorrect info about him because panraan doesn't make sense to him (normal human mentality, puriyaadha baashaila edhavadhu pesinaale thittaraangannu nenaichuppom. paaraattaradhunna puriyara baashailaye paaraattalaame).

If they said you should speak in Hindi alone then there is every reason to be miffed. Apart from English, Hindi would've been added to the list because majority can speak it without trouble.

i have told umpteen times that im for "opposition to hindi imposition".......but this is not "exactly" a case of hindi imposition -

1. players are allowed to speak in english as well.....players who dont know hindi or english would be obviously considered....

2. these measures are taken to avoid any sort of disharmony and loss of synergy within the team which has 9 persons who can speak hindi/english, 1 person who can speak only hindi and & 1 tamil/english speaking person......naturally hindi and english become foremost languages.....

3. such measures are taken in almost all corporate houses where English is compulsory....but i never see "opposition to english imposition" sort of banners.......remember BCCI is not a national entity, its a corporate company which has its own stake holdings and is entitled to have its own rules and people "cannot" question them - edho oru court order idhu....

How can differential treatment promote harmony and synergy?

IMO it creates unnecessary problems where none should have existed in the first place. I have no problem with hindi and english becoming the foremost language, that is just natural. When it is already happening naturally no need to force it in the name of synergy allergy etc.,

You keep quoting Corporate culture, AFAIK no corporation can enforce any restriction on private conversations. That is a prerogative available only to Primary school teachers unless our team manager thinks of himself as one

In official meetings obviously the need for common language is understood.

From: Plum on 25th August 2010 01:00 PM [Full View]

Thiru, your argument is really meaningless. The answer lies in your post. Dinesh and Vijay know what is good for them so they WILL learn Hindi - only because the environment is such that speaking Hindi is a necessity to impress. Why is it so? Because Hindi speaking people have a sense of entitlement. I dont expect a hindi guy to learn tamil or even English to impress me or give him opportunities. If he is good at what he does, i will do the reaching out, learn his language, learn his dialect and bring out his potential. Why should the other side insist on everyone learning their language? Why cant you leave it to individuals? Why do you create an environment where Murali Vijay feels he has to learn Hindi to survive?

And dont tell me about me taking advantage of Hindi and not letting others do - I have learnt telugu, malayalam, kannada, hindi and a good deal of Bengali out of my own interest.
It has got nothing to do with selfishness about taking advantage of Hindi.
If any tamilian is interested in learning Hindi, for the sake of it, let him. Dont tell him that "Learn hindi or else...". This is the crux of our argument.

Of these, I didnt make any efforts to learn Hindi, it just came to me because hindi has been imposed everywhere in India. If, theoretically, we did the same with Tamil, same will happen. Infact, Malayalees, a good percentage of them know tamil very well. Because tamil culture invades their popular arts more than vice-versa.

From: Plum on 25th August 2010 01:00 PM [Full View]

The funny part about Hindi imposition is that, the ones imposing are actually proponents of Hindi. Yet, they will advice the resistors and say "Dont impose opposition to Hindi imposition. Let the individual decide that"

From: Plum on 25th August 2010 01:02 PM [Full View]

And thiru, the logic that speaking Hindi opens opportunities is all malai Eri pOchu. Who wants to migrate to UP, MP, Bihar?

Maybe if you are in politics, yes, hindi is needed. But why does a common man need hindi - only because it is being imposed. Stop imposing it, and it will stop being important.

Onnu ungaLukku puriyala or purinjukka virumbala. And I am damn sure Mu.Ka idathula vERa yaaraavathu irunthaa your stand would have been different on this particular subject.

Complete misrepresentation of the opposing stance. Not the first time. Not unusual.

My fault to debate with people who dont want to debate - who just want to reduce the arguments to some convenient points and deliberately avoid questions that will dilute their stance if they answered to it.

And I really dont need education on "not being fanatic", "being nationalsitic" etc. As I recounted once before, my response to those who say "I know Hindi therefore I am more Indian than you or I advocate Hindi and you dont therefore you are divisive and quarrelsome" is
"I know Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and a good deal of Bengali. I am more Indian than you. I advocate all languages therefore you are the divisive and quarrelsome one, not me."

From: Roshan on 25th August 2010 01:34 PM [Full View]

I think both Prabhu and Plum (here and in Current Affairs section) have made things crystal clear and there's nothing more to add or even oppose. Relished reading them.

Thanks Prabhu and Plum once again

TM, instead of dismissing my points as 'sAljApu' can you try to respond there to the points.

Or actually don't bother, because I understand why you cannot understand what I am saying. Your point was captured in the setence "two people should make the effort rather than twenty people". Our understanding of the concepts of nation, democracy are diametrically opposite.

I have nothing to say except அம்ம நாம் அஞ்சுமாறே

They expect him to see out the inital 10-15 overs and shield stroke-makers like Yuvi,Raina from new ball. A very modern night-watchman role in an ODI. This is all I can think of.

4.5

Mills to Sehwag, FOUR, And that's his 1000th ODI four. He got that recently in the Tests as well. It was a short-of-length delivery around off stump and Sehwag pressed back to punch it on the up and through extra cover.

4.4

Mills to Sehwag, FOUR, She Wag! Short and wide, carved away to backward point boundary. Well, it wasn't exactly a wide but since Sehwag stays so adjacent to the line, and wonderfully still, he can make use of the slightest width

4.3

Mills to Sehwag, FOUR, Twhack! Thanks for bowling it in the slot! It was right up there - full and in the driving range- and Sehwag blasts it through covers. Full clean swing of the bat.

1000th 4! :P

Sehwag is only the 4th batsman to have scored 1000 forus in both formats. Tendulkar, Lara and Ponting are the other three

When Sehwag scores a hundred, India's win percentage is 91.6, but when Sachin scores a hundred India's win percentage is 71. However, Sachin scores a hundred every 9.36 innings whereas Sehwag scores a hundred every 17 innings. The former tells you how devastating Sehwag is, while the latter tells you who is the boss!

Praveen Kumar to Taylor, out Caught by Dhoni!! That is an exceptional catch from Mahendra Singh Dhoni! But first what a lovely comeback from Praveen Kumar, after being smashed for 2 boundaries, he gets this to one to land in the corridor of uncertainty, Taylor did not have to play at that, but he was committed to the forward defensive, it held it's line and Taylor played at that, a thick edge, it was going in between the keeper and the 1st slip, Mahendra Singh Dhoni lunged out full length to his right and held on with both hands, then looked at Viru and gave a million dollar smile - probably suggesting that the catch was mine, wonderful moment, India are well on top here!

23.6

Sharma to Mills, FOUR, lovely shot! what a way to become top-scorer of the innings, nicely punched square of the wicket, to the left of point and right of third man

23.3

Sharma to Mills, FOUR, shot! crunched away through point. This was short and wide, he rocked back and cut it away

23.2

Sharma to Mills, FOUR, they have avoided that lowest total of theirs, this is a better shot, pulled over mid-on, clean clean strike

23.1

Sharma to Mills, FOUR, New Zealand get closer to avoiding their lowest score - 64. This one is short, and he has pulled it through midwicket for four

Hold-up. MS Dhoni seems to have imagined the Batting Powerplay is on. Umpires and New Zealand batsmen seem to suggest nothing of that sort happened. Actually it is agreed that the Powerplay is on, but nobody seems to know how many restriction overs have been bowled. Still walkie talkies are out

Dhoni - "Mills told me he is taking Powerplay, and I arranged my field accordingly, and forgot to look at the umpire. When we asked in the fith over, how many overs left, the umpires said the Powerplay is not even on. But Mills stood by his word, and it was sorted out." So, basically Mills forgot to tell the umpires, but stood by his word.

for Mills' sporting spirit.

been hearing this a few times here in our Pro-Dhoni Hub :P so just to understand right, yesterday MS came in after Raina - i.e about 9 deliveries after Raina came in - he gave some decent support to Viru and stayed in (yeah got himself some 35 odd runs as well). So the ball/pitch was assisting him to do that or was MSD lucky to be facing lesser talented bowlers after the 9 deliveries?! Would Raina if sent at 66/4 also have gotten himself a 38 and put on this partnership? chumma asking...

If MSD can hang around, preserve his wicket and make 35 odd, then why can't he do that by coming in ahead of Raina. So that when India lost Sehwag much much later, Raina would have come in against the lesser bowlers (which would give him more chances of success).

Chances are Raina may not have. But you are assuming Dhoni also would have got out by 9 deliveries. I accept and acknowledge Dhoni's innings building skills but don't understand why he is not confident enough/reluctant to come in ahead of the hitters in bowler friendly conditions and do what he does best.

P_B, all I can say is that each player has their own roles, MSD is able to do both the scoring quick as well as building an innings. Havent seen much of that from Raina. Anyday I prefer MSD to be finishing the innings than Raina. But ur point is a diff one, ur stating that MSD is hiding behind Raina - my counter is that he needn't when he has proved time and again of staying there and taking India to the finish, anyways namma rendu peroda destination vera - so niruthikkuvom

Sri Lanka determined to end India hex

Aug 27, 2010 11:20 AM | By Sapa-AP
Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara said that his team is determined to avoid a fifth successive defeat in a limited-over final against India.

Sri Lanka has lost to India in four finals in the past two years at home, with the most recent being the Asia Cup in June.

The hosts lost a five-match bilateral series 3-2 in 2008 and another 4-1 in early 2009. Later that year India beat Sri Lanka in a tri-series final also involving New Zealand.

The two teams will meet again in the final of the current tri-series, which featured New Zealand again as the third team.

“They (India) lifted themselves for the finals and outplayed us in many occasions,” Sangakkara said.

“You got to give credit when a side wins consistently. We’ve been to a lot of finals as well we’ve just got to make sure that we lift ourselves tomorrow for a special effort.”

India’s opener Virender Sehwag has been the live wire in India’s batting in the series, scoring 240 runs in four matches with a century and a 99 not out.

“A lot of people have tried a lot of plans but he’s (Sehwag) an excellent player if we can get him early it will be an advantage,” Sangakkara said of the Indian batsman.

He also urged Sri Lanka batsmen to learn from how Sehwag has managed to score heavily on bowling-friendly pitches at Dambulla.

“You can’t bat all the time in the same way. You got to adapt to situations, pitches and the bowlers. He has adapted himself well and our batsmen too have something to learn from him,” Sangakkara said.

Oh... Lets see if my prediction works :

India - 300/8 (Viru - 86, Dho - 66, Rai - 60, Ko - 45)

SL - 250/10 ...... Hmm... Lets see if scores come in my predicted way

I back Kohli to shine. Tiwary too if given a chance. Sharma, too.
More than any one, it depends on dhoni. If dhoni fails as batsman or captain, aandavanaala kooda indiava kaappatha mudiyaadhu

Training and Practise is not only about getting accustomed to conditions, learning a new type of stroke / delivery. Mental conditioning like chasing a big score, playing in tournament finals etc will help the youngsters (?) in the team to grow as a player.

"Dhoni: " ...We just didn't spend enough time in the middle. If we had wickets .. Credit goes to Sri Lanka. They batted and bowled well. Our bowlers gave them a bit of width and that's one thing you don't want to give Dilshan. He smashed us all around the park. The team that plays the best cricket on that particular day deserve to win. It was a good learning curve for the young batsmen in our side. Usually we don't get these sort of conditions." "

Before the last T20 world cup Sehwag said he was injured and went back home. Dhoni was not very happy with this and told the media to ask Sehwag what his injury was. After reports flying around about division within the team, Dhoni brought the whole team to a media conference to show the unity (???). So there would at least be some sort of cold war between Sehwag and Dhoni.
