  Rohit may be recalled
  K Shriniwas Rao | TNN
  
  Mumbai: The recently concluded Challenger Trophy turned out to be such a dull affair the national selection committee will find it difficult to make it as a yardstick when they meet in Chennai on Thursday to pick the squad for the 7-match ODI series against Australia. In a departure from the past, the selectors will be choosing the squad for the entire series rather than naming squads after every two or three matches.
  It seemed as if the players went through the ordeal during the Challenger simply because a BCCI tournament was in place and they were scheduled to ‘perform.’ In fact, a board official is of the view that what happened in Nagpur was indeed a “shadow” of what the mindset is now like at the highest level.
  While Dhoni will don the captaincy mantle again, the selectors, it is learnt, are keen to line up the best squad against the world champions. It could mean another ODI extension for Rahul Dravid. But Yusuf Pathan will not be so lucky. The Baroda allrounder, who has just 151 runs to show in his last 18 ODIs, will most likely be shown the door and Rohit Sharma recalled to counter the strong Aussie contingent, according to a source. Among the bowlers, there is likely to be a toss-up between RP Singh and Ishant Sharma to fit in Munaf Patel. In Challenger, the two biggest performers with the bat wereWasim Jaffer (181 from 3 matches) and Abhinav Mukund (160 from 3 matches) who stood in a record 265-run stand for India Blues.

• From: Sourav on Wed Oct 14 0:18:43 2009.

  Probable squad:
  sachin, viru, gauti, dravid, yuvi, raina, dhoni, rohit, kohli, bhajji, mishra, praveen, ishanth, munaf, nehra
  
  

• From: Plum on Wed Oct 14 3:53:05 2009.

  Why dull affair? Murali Vijay played an accomplished century, Mukund wasnt impressive but was quite effective. Ofcourse, Jaffer scoring a run-a-ball 143 does show the level of bowling but I dont think it was that bad. Maybe, Dhoni and India certainties were showing lesser intensity but one should not demean the efforts of other players because of that. poor guys, are we saying thta no matter what you do, we'll not look at you. National team is taken for lease by durbhajan and co?

  There is also news that "senior" player reported from South Africa that the younger players didnt feel a sense of loss and were taking it easy. That some of them were joking that this way they get more rest for IPL. Looks like PR's worst fears are coming true...

  Tests - A little more after 2011 WC. Actually enakellam sachin ippo follow panra strategy romba pudichirukku. Completely avoided T'20s, playing the important ODI's and concentrating on Tests. He definitely has another 4 years atleast in playing Tests, imo.

  Will it be 5 times in a row ? Aus beating India
  Australia have beaten India 4 times in a row from 1998 to 2007 in the ODIs at Indian soil til date.
  
  In 1998, Australia won the triangular tournament which featured Ind Aus and Zim, beating India in the final.
  
  In 2001, Australia won the ODI series 3-2.
  
  In 2003, Australia again beat India in the final of the TVS cup played between Aus, Ind and NZ.
  
  In 2007, Australia again beat Ind in a bilateral series of 7 ODIs 4-2 with one ODI being washed off.
  
  Now luking at the record Australia has the edge. It will be interesting to see how these two teams play, given the fact that Australia does have a rel;atively new Team this time around.
  
  What do u say guys.

  Meanwhile, across the border the BCCI has come up with a cunning plan to arrest team India's sliding fortunes in both Twenty20 and ODI formats. They have announced the world's first "twenty-fifty" tournament. Under the rules of the new format, christened T50 cricket, the Indian team will get to bat 50 overs, and the opposition will get to bat 20 overs. Field restrictions will also follow the same method, with 15 overs of Powerplay when the Indians bat, and six overs when the opposition does. "It's a brilliant, innovative, sly, cunning and totally evil plan to ensure India's dominance in world cricket," said a supremely smug-looking Lalit Modi, gradually allowing his adjectives to inch closer to the truth. "Besides, it will give Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman one more limited-overs format to suck at," he quipped, deciding against making that joke on Twitter.

  Kumar to Paine, FOUR, dropped by Tendulkar at first slip. It was a length delivery that moved away from Paine who pushed at it, bat away from the body, and edged it low to the left of first slip. Tendulkar was late in moving and couldn't quite get down in time. I dare say Rahul Dravid might have caught it !

  Poor fielding setup in the slog overs. Praveen Kumar was bowling round the wicket to the left hand batsman with the well covered off side. But he was bowling to the batsman's leg but the leg side was wide open. They scored 18 runs in the 49th over. Praveen is a swing bowler they say, but why do you use him in the final overs? Naane nalla poduven.
  
  and what a fantastic final over by Ishant.

  Exactly! Already you see that effect here
  Indha oru matchla batting paNNadhukku he'll get a free ride for the series. And people will marvel at his batting. Last over 5 balls 8 runs - konjam smart-A irundhA easy win but our man has to go for the big one.
  
  But the key problem is everyone wants to anchor and play rahul dravid - sachin, gambhir, dhoni...only taina and sehwag are fearless. If they fail, forget it.
  Yuvraj might make a difference but not sure how he'll play against good bowlers that oz has.
  
  Yuvraj can replace kohli obviously.

  I think Jadeja would be out! Kohli scored 30 runs today.
  
  Mr.Watson was bowling juicy full toss balls repeatedly, something very fishy!
  
  And why no Lee was used when partnership was building rapidly.Huh!

  48.6
  
  Watson to Harbhajan Singh, SIX, Harbhajan has got the crowd going. Kohli jumps up and down in the dressing room. It was yet another full toss, would you believe it. Pressure. Tension. Harbhajan waited on the back foot and slapped it high over backward point. Super slice. Gone up and over!
  
  48.5
  
  Watson to Harbhajan Singh, FOUR, WAtson keeps bowling well outside off again and again and the batsman have by now well caught on to that fact. Harbhajan moves towards off and slices it over backward point. Marsh rushes across and tries a tumbling stop but the ball goes through his grasp
  
  48.4
  
  Watson to Kumar, 1 run, full delivery but not a full toss, carved away to deep point region
  
  48.3
  
  Watson to Kumar, FOUR, What is happening out there. WAtson shrugs his shoulder in apology. It was another full toss and PK slams it to extra cover boundary.
  
  48.2
  
  Watson to Kumar, FOUR, Full toss well outside the off stump, PK reaches out to drive and edges it through vacant slip region. Crowd are going mad here
  
  48.1
  
  Watson to Harbhajan Singh, 1 run, full delivery outside off, sliced away to covers where White makes a tumbling stop

  Quote:

  India's captain MS Dhoni has ruled out a move up the order, citing the lack of space in the top four batting slots, in the face of a growing chorus advising him to bat higher as that would give him more overs to face. "It's a difficult choice to make. We have Veeru [Virender Sehwag] and Sachin [Tendulkar] opening the innings, Gauti [Gautam Gambhir] at no. 3 and Yuvraj [Singh] at no 4. The next slot available is no. 5," Dhoni said on the eve of the second ODI against Australia. "I float at times and bat in different slots. More often than not we have a fixed batting line when it comes to these four guys playing the game. If there are more off spinners in the attack we may shift Yuvraj to No. 5 and we have done that. But to say I have to bat every time at Nos. 3 or 4 is difficult for me [to do]." Sourav Ganguly and Adam Gilchrist both recently expressed the view that Dhoni move up the order to allow him more overs to bat, and on Tuesday Sunil Gavaskar also advocated that Dhoni push himself up. "Those who are good players should always get most of the overs, especially during a run chase when the required rate is above five runs an over," he said. "The team management has to think over it [moving Dhoni up]. This is the reason why Sachin Tendulkar was promoted as an opener so that he gets all the 50 overs to play." Gilchrist spoke in similar vein but with the empathy of a fellow wicketkeeper-batsman, and pointed out that Dhoni had the added weight of the captaincy. "He's (Dhoni) such a danger to play against. I would like to see him bat up the order especially in the abbreviated version of the game. You want your best batsmen to face as many deliveries as possible," he said. "He has a lot on his plate, I understand that. But I would encourage him to bat higher in the order. But its his decision." India's bowling at the end of the innings was a concern for Dhoni. Against Australia in Vadodara, India conceded 54 in the last five overs while taking three wickets; against Pakistan in Centurion they gave 41 off the last five; against Sri Lanka in Colombo they leaked 53 between overs 45 -50."It's been a worrying thing for us for the past few months," said Dhoni. "We had not been great with our death bowling. If you see the last game, the first few overs - 42nd over onwards - it was good and in the 50th we gave away one run. "In between there was a span of four overs when we gave away 50-52 runs. If we can bring that down good, say by two to five runs it can count at the end."

  Toss: Australia won the toss and have chosen to bowl. Ponting: We want to bowl first. The ball will come on the bat better in the second innings. We are very confident chasing runs. Dew will come in play in the second and it might upset their bowlers. We have two changes: Lee and Hopes is out. Marsh and Hilfenhaus come in.
  
  Dhoni: We would have also bowled first as we have two spinners and with the dew factor. We just need to apply well during batting. Don't look for 320-330, just get a good start, bat well and take it from there. It's important to get some momentum going. Yuvraj is back in the place of Virat Kohli."

  Siddle to Tendulkar, OUT, Siddle takes out SRT. Full in length, just outside off, luring Tendulkar across but it straightens to take the edge. Full length delivery after the bouncer does the trick. Tendulkar played away from the body there, much like in the first game.

  Kohli involved in scuffle with lensmen
  Suhas Nayse | TNN
  
  Nagpur: Virat Kohli had a forgettable day at Jamtha on Wednesday. The Delhi middle-order batsman not only had to sit out of the second One-dayer after doing reasonably well in the first match at Vadodara but also was involved in a scuffle with photographers before the game.
  After the toss and before the Indian openers came on to the field to start the innings, Kohli, Munaf Patel and Praveen Kumar were practising near the pavilion with some local boys.
  When Kohli was batting, one of the shots went through the hands of the boys and almost hit the camera of one of the photographers, who were sitting with their equipments behind the advertising hoardings.
  The concerned photographer then shouted and asked Kohli to practise at some other place. When Kohli refused to pay attention to him, all the photographers started abusing and warned both Kohli and Praveen Kumar.
  Stunned by the abusive language, Kohli and Praveen too replied in the same vein to the lensmen. The situation became so tense that at one point, Kohli almost came to hitting blows with the photographer.
  However before the situation could get out of control, Praveen and some of the Vidarbha Cricket Association officials including vicepresident Rajeev Gokhale rushed to the spot and helped calm things down.
  The incident made the Delhi youngster furious as he thought he was doing nothing wrong in knocking the ball around with the local boys.
  On the other hand, the lensmen looked too possessive about their lenses and wanted the poor cricketer to shift to other area.

  ..In the last two years, Dhoni has become a complete and remarkably consistent one-day batsman...
  
  ..Today was the best of both of Dhoni's worlds. When he came in at 97 for 3 in the 16th over India were threatening to have aimed too high, and thus losing too many wickets too early.
  
  ..The first half of the innings was all about stealing and haring between the wickets; the robbing could wait.
  
  Dhoni hit one boundary in the first 28 balls he faced and two more before he raised his half-century off 55 balls. That is the new Dhoni for you. "You play by instinct, but at the same time there is a cautious attempt to see what the demand actually is," he said. "If there is a youngster playing at No. 4, and he tries to play a big shot and gets out, its okay, people say he will learn and he will improve. But when it comes to a senior who has played around 100-odd international games, people rip him apart.
  
  "At times that's in the back of your mind. Earlier when you went for a big shot, you backed yourself and went for it. It's not the same as I was three or four years ago, less responsibility and more flair. But now I have more responsibility every time I turn up on the field. A lot depends on what kind of pressure you are handling."
  
  ...
  India need both the Dhonis, but there are other batsmen who can compensate for the old Dhoni, and more often than not it's the new Dhoni that nobody else evokes. Dhoni, more than anybody else, knows that.

  Ricky, don’t put India in, you’ll lose each time
  
  Sourav Ganguly
  
  Before I start talking about the second One-day game in Nagpur and the upcoming third One-dayer in Delhi, I want to pass a short message to Ricky Ponting: Please don’t field again after winning the toss in India unless the venue presents a seaming pitch.
  If the Aussies can’t get early wickets as it happened in Nagpur, this Indian batting unit on flat surfaces and fast outfields will take the game away from Australia, because everytime India gets to 300, Ponting and his batting lineup, which has players touring India for the first time, will not be able to chase it down.
  I understand that dew is the factor, but it comes so late in the game that Ponting will have a huge mountain to climb before he reaches that stage. More than his batting, Ponting’s worry should be his bowlers. Except Peter Siddle, none of them have hit a consistent length, which is so important in sub-continent conditions. They have either been short or full and this has given enough opportunity for the Indian batting to score heaps of runs. The bowlers will have to bowl straight and finish on the stumps and make the Indian batsmen hit down the ground if they have to control this batting unit. They are dangerous players on these surfaces and most importantly, they will score runs at such a fast pace that it will take the game away from the Aussies.
  Dhoni batted beautifully. It just goes to show how dangerous he can be when he gets time to bat. We all understand that as a captain you tend to put the team ahead of yourself. But he must realise that he will do more good to the team if he keeps coming in with overs in hand.
  The man who has impressed and improved the most is Gautam Gambhir. He has become India’s main stay in all forms of the game and has shown lot of maturity while batting. The Indian bowling looked much better with 350 runs behind them and any bowling attack would love to bowl it that situation. There is a lesson for the Aussies: In sub-continent conditions more pressure will have to be put with runs on the board and ring fields rather than thinking of getting batsmen out in the slips.
  Ponting will be hoping that Brett Lee gets fit before the third ODI in Delhi where the wicket will be low and Brett Lee’s pace will come in handy. They also have to look at Shaun Marsh opening the batting as the left-hand, right-hand combination is important at the top. It is a day-night game in Delhi and Ponting will again think about dew and will need to make a tough decision. Hopefully, the Ferozeshah Kotla wicket will be a better one than it was in the Champions League. It’s a newlylaid pitch this year and hopefully the groundsmen will have put in a lot of effort to make
  sure that it is a hard one to provide a good game of cricket. PMG

  Ponting fumes over Kotla practice pitch
  New Delhi, Oct 30, DHNS:
  
  Still grappling to get the team combination right following a spate of injuries, the last thing Australia needed ahead of Saturday’s third one-dayer against India here was lack of preparedness.
  
  Ricky PontingRicky Ponting minced no words when he made his displeasure clear after finding the practice pitches at the Kotla wet and unplayable. The state of the pitches, Ponting claimed, not only affected their preparations but also delayed their training. “When we turned out for practice this morning, for some reason the practice wickets had been watered, so we haven’t had a chance to train today properly. That’s a bit disappointing,” said Ponting during his media briefing.
  
  The explanation by the groundsmen that they weren’t aware of Australia’s 9.00 am practice didn’t amuse Ponting. “I am very disappointed,” he countered. “It seems everybody in the world except the groundsmen here knew we would be training from 9.00 am. To turn up and find that the wickets are completely unusable is disappointing. You have just one training day and I am sure that by the time the Indians come this afternoon, the wicket will be fine. It was a bit of disadvantage for us.”
  
  Delhi and District Cricket Association curator Vijay Abrader Mishap explained that he did not expect the Australian team to train early.
  
  “We were told that both teams would come at 2.00 p.m. and train together,” Mishap said. Obviously, there was lack of communication between the DDCA and the Australian team but considering the fact that there are only four practice pitches at the DDCA facilities, it was a bit strange that they expected both teams to practice together.

  He is playing like a poonai. Reminds me of his struggling phase in 2004(?). Some good shots but very circumspect. Though that ball was clearly missing leg, he deserved to be dismissed looking at the way he was playing (nervous 40's?)
  
  P.S: Early on, Sehwag faced most of Johnson while Sachin got stuck with Siddle. He has himself to blame for not getting off strike from Siddle. Perhaps, Sehwag would have been dismissed sooner!

  It's not the case of nervous 40's I think. After that first maiden over from Siddle, he was not finding the gaps at all and left lot of balls to keeper. He generally takes few singles and gets off the strike if he is not getting his timing right.
  
  Hope this match is one-off.

  Illa, he made up later on-ga.. His strike rate was pathetic in the beginning and he later made it decent. And come on, not able to get a single off the off-spinner (before that he was playing OK)....

  Looked not out to me in real time in actual speed. (Off-spinner bowling over the wicket to right hand bat on front foot, ball pitches in middle and you can't see the leg stump. Keeper vera down the leg ponaar nu nenaikkaren. Difficult to think it would hit the stumps)
  Replays confirmed that it was clearly missing leg.

  north indies has got nothing to do with it.
  Dropping Saurav was a fair call,
  Rahul was badly treated by the selectors, and Dhoni played his part but as a manager, I can understand why he did it. No qualms on that front.
  
  It is just an irrational hate for someone being hyped beyond his achievements. Actually, I have still not placed it clearly but it might be something to do with Sehwag, who is one person after Sachin in Indian team that I really admire.

  ok, that was an excuse to introduce that blogger. For a female from bangladesh, she shows fairly good acumen in writing about Cricket. (Yes, patronising, but thats a old failing). More importantly, staunchly anti-Durby and makes far better jokes about him than I can imagine.

  Poor Ponting - he has like what 3rd or 4th choice team now - still his team is running close. Have to say, I will have to suspend my hate for him and call him better than Dhoni. Despite such bad luck, his team does pretty well while despite such monumental luck, Dhoni's teams just scrape through or lose.

  Victoria all-rounder Andrew McDonald and New South Wales fast bowler Burt Cockley, who will join the squad in time for the sixth ODI in Guwahati on Sunday.
  
  
  Team news
  Gambhir has been cleared to play and is likely to replace Virat Kohli, and it would be a surprise if India split Sehwag and Sachin Tendulkar at the top.
  
  India(probable): 1 Virender Sehwag, 2 Sachin Tendulkar, 3 Gautam Gambhir, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 MS Dhoni (capt./wk), 6 Suresh Raina, 7 Ravindra Jadeja, 8 Harbhajan Singh, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 Ishant Sharma, 11 Ashish Nehra.
  
  It's an easy selection for Australia - with 13 fit men, they have only to decide which two to keep out. Clint McKay has arrived in India, but he and Jon Holland are likely to sit out.
  
  Australia (probable): 1 Shane Watson, 2 Shaun Marsh, 3 Ricky Ponting (capt.), 4 Michael Hussey, 5 Cameron White, 6 Adam Voges, 7 Graham Manou (wk), 8 Mitchell Johnson, 9 Nathan Hauritz, 10 Ben Hilfenhaus, 11 Doug Bollinger.

He had a very good Irani Trophy and looked the best of the bowlers there, which included Tyagi and Munaf but you know with him .. its always beyond cricket. He was fined there for misconduct and BCCI have given him a final warning. This domestic season would be really crucial for him.

  In the 24th over, though, Adam Voges pulled off a stunner at point to send MS Dhoni back, and leave Tendulkar an improbable task to achieve on his own.

  Cricinfo's bulletin read so during the 25th over. It did look very improbable, but thalaivar was just too awesome to bring it so close. Just wanted to remind how hopeless it seemed right from the beginning.

  I also thought the power play could have been taken earlier rather than later when they had the upper hand. We should take it and not forced to take it.
  Still, despite that we had the match under control. Had Ravindra Jadeja got out LBW, caught behind, bowled, caught at the boundary line going for a hittable ball etc.. its fine but he started running when the ball went straight to the fielder standing a few yards from the stumps.

  Hmm...
  Its okay if dhoni didn't mentuon sachin's name but mentioning bhajji
  Fakeiplplaye maadhii fake allrounder durby. Monumental mistake to send him ahead of jadeja especially when all sachin needed was a single taking level head not a "patta packiam" gaada master like duby
  I have always said that it is india's bad luck that durby succeeds with bat once in a while because it creates an illusion. His average is 13 fo God's sake and there's a reason why.
  Ennikki indha racist durby sagavaasam ozhiyudhO annikku dhaan bcci team uruppadum. Yeah, he was economical today as he does once in a few matches but by accepting such lower standards from him, dhoni is losing the hard earned reputation as a captain.
  Its harsh to single out bhajji despite his half decent performance today but one has to consider his expeience and if this is the best he can give, and it is accepted, that's where dhoni is lowering the standards for the rest of the team. I am surprised because a man who took harsh calls on sourav and rahul is hesitating on durby and going out of the way to praise him while ignoring a monumental performaqnce. Something is really fishy. Are dirty hands of sponsors involved? Is durby too valuable for sponsors to be dropped? Does he have compromising pictures of shoni and blackmailing him?
  
  Oka, the last part is kiffing but durby is the root of all failures for dhoni. Hope dhoni realises it soon.

  India lost the mental battle - Dhoni
  
  After a close, emotional three-run defeat to Australia in Hyderabad, MS Dhoni said that India lost the mental battle, falling at the last hurdle. "You work so hard to get to a well, but then you have to drink the water yourself," he said. "We came very close, but the one last effort that we needed as a team we couldn't put in.
  
  "I don't think it was the talent part. I think it was the mental part, where you know you can play a big shot and you back yourself to do that," Dhoni said. "At times you just go through the motions, you don't know if such a shot is needed or not."
  
  Dhoni rued three dropped chances and a lack of experience in the bowling line-up. Shaun Marsh, who was put down on 29 and on 51, went on to get a maiden century, while Shane Watson's drop cost India just three runs. "We dropped three catches. One of them was tough," Dhoni said. "We lost too many wickets in the middle order. Myself, Gauti [Gautam Gambhir], Yuvraj [Singh], we got out pretty quickly. We could have done better. Though it was a very good track to bat, you still need a serious effort to get close to 350. If we had stopped them to 330 or 325, we would have had a better chance.
  
  "I am not saying they could have kept them to 270, but even if they could have kept them down to 320, it would have been a completely different game. On these wickets, when there is no seam or swing, experience comes in."
  
  It was all left to Sachin Tendulkar to chase down the target and he almost carried India home with an imperious 141-ball 175. He fell with India needing 19 runs off the last 17 balls, but the last three wickets couldn't manage that. Dhoni said the team believed Praveen Kumar could pull off the chase even as they were in the middle of a choke.
  
  "Till the last wicket fell, we had hope. Of course it was disheartening. He [Tendulkar] made such a big effort. Such a big score. He was the one man who kept us in the game. We would have loved to see him hit the winning runs. But that was not to be."
  
  Dhoni had words of comfort for Ravindra Jadeja, who for the second night in a row got himself run out in a crucial situation. "He is a youngster, don't take that away from him," Dhoni said. "When he plays more and more games, he will learn. It is tough, but he shouldn't be pointed out. He is doing the job for us. He is bowling well, he is a great fielder. He is learning the art of batting at this level. As long as he keeps learning from every game, it is fine."

  Ravindra Jadam's runout is perhaps the one thing that lost us the match.
  
  Dhoni sending Harbhajan ahead is being overcriticized. Thus far there is just little reason to believe RJ is a significantly better choice to send in, in that situation. So much of the ripping is ex-post : after seeing Harbhajan get out ridiculously and seeing Jadeja play well.

  When Sachin got out I pretty much lost interest. A large part of me didn't want Praveen Kumar to become a hero hitting winning runs and all. So I won't say I am so disappointed. It was sad to see Sachin so sad at the presentation ceremony - avvaLo dhaan.
  I missed the chunk of the innings and got home pretty late yesterday. Must watch a retelecast soon.

  Sans Sachin's knock we couldn't have come so close: Dhoni
  
  India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Thursday said had it not been for milestone man Sachin Tendulkar's breathtaking 175 run knock, the hosts would have never come so close of a sensational victory against Australia in the fifth one-dayer here today.
  
  Dhoni took the positives from the heart-breaking three-run loss and said without Tendulkar's heroic 141-ball innings, it would not have been possible to come so close to the mammoth 351 run target set by Australia.
  
  "Three or four of our top batsmen did not score but still we came close to the target. Sachin Tendulkar played very well and he was one man who brought us close to a win. But even after he left we did not lose hopes till the end," said Dhoni about Tendulkar's fabulous knock which was studded with 19 fours and four sixes.
  
  Dhoni said though this was a special innings from the champion batsman, his personal favourite was the Desert Storm in Sharjah against Australia in April 1998.
  
  "It was a pleasure to see him batting so well. All his centuries have been special and this too. But I am still a big fan of his desert storm (innings)," he said.
  
  Dhoni was also of the view that India lost the mental aspect of the game and not the cricketing part.
  
  "We lost the mental aspect and not the cricketing part of the match. Chasing 350 was always going to be difficult even on this wicket which played very well," he said after India lost a heart-stopper to Australia to give the visitors a 2-3 lead in the seven-match series.
  
  Dhoni felt that though the conditions were ideal for batting, his bowlers gave away 20-30 runs extra on the placid Rajiv Gandhi International stadium wicket.
  
  "We always knew the wicket was going to play good but the pressure of chasing 350 was high. It would have been easier had our bowlers done something extra to restrict the score to 325 or 330. I am not saying they should have stopped them at 270," said the wicketkeeper batsman, who had a poor outing with both the bat and behind the wicket.
  
  The India skipper refused to believe that his side would be under extra pressure in the next game at Guwahati on Sunday.
  
  "Every game is a pressure game. There will always be pressure," he said.
  
  Dhoni also lavished praise on the Australian batsmen for their superb show but said the three dropped chances cost his team dear.
  
  "We dropped three catches which proved to be costly," he said about the chances given to Shaun Marsh (twice) and Shane Watson (once).
  
  Marsh was dropped on 29 and 51 while Watsom was let off on 90. Marsh made 112, his debut ODI hundred and Watson went on to score 93 and also took three wickets.

  Cricket fraternity congratulates Sachin
  
  India's cricket fraternity on Thursday lavished praise on country's batting icon Sachin Tendulkar for becoming the first player in the game's history to cross the 17,000-run mark.
  
  Tendulkar, who was chasing the milestone from the onset of the series against Australia, achieved the feat when he, requiring seven runs coming into today's match, played an on-drive to fetch three off pacer Ben Hilfenhaus during the fifth one-dayer in Hyderabad.
  
  "It's really a remarkable achievement. He is one of the best cricketers of the world cricket. I have had some good memories with him, having partnering him for years in one-day cricket," said former India skipper Sourav Ganguly.
  
  The southpaw also wished the little master for the 2011 World Cup, to be co-hosted by India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
  
  "I wish he scores another 2000 runs by 2011 World Cup. Sachin knows best how to accumulate runs. Once he gets going he becomes unstoppable," Ganguly said.
  
  Meanwhile, Mumbai batsman Wasim Jaffer hoped that Tendulkar would also achieve 20,000-run mark.
  
  "He has achieved several records. I hope that he reached 20,000-run mark. Whatever he has achieved, it is nearly impossible to achieve for anyone else. I just wish that he keeps on going and gets more and more runs for India," Jaffer said.
  
  Tendulkar reached the new ODI milestone in his 435th match and 66th tie against the World Cup holders.
  
  "It's a great achievement. Anyone playing for 21 years is not an easy job, we are proud of him," said India all-rounder Rohit Sharma.
  
  "Sachin has played for 20 odd years and I think, it's wonderful task by a man who has achieved so much. I congratulate him," South Africa cricketer Herchelle Gibbs said.
  
  Tendulkar made a 141-ball 175 in front of the 35,000 strong packed crowd which erupted in joy when Tendulkar reached the magic figure in company of opening partner Virender Sehwag.

  Kalyan,
  There is a fine line between disappointed in the sense you explain and 'disappointed' (as in blame) and first iour post impression it was the latter for you
  
  

  Quote:

  "He is a youngster, don't take that away from him," Dhoni said. "When he plays more and more games, he will learn. It is tough, but he shouldn't be pointed out. He is doing the job for us. He is bowling well, he is a great fielder. He is learning the art of batting at this level. As long as he keeps learning from every game, it is fine."

  
  Can someone explain to me, what exactly is happening here?
  
  The problem is not with the content per se, but this is revealing something like a lack of consistency and even integrity.

  Quote: "He is a youngster, don't take that away from him," Dhoni said. "When he plays more and more games, he will learn. It is tough, but he shouldn't be pointed out. He is doing the job for us. He is bowling well, he is a great fielder. He is learning the art of batting at this level. As long as he keeps learning from every game, it is fine." Can someone explain to me, what exactly is happening here? The problem is not with the content per se, but this is revealing something like a lack of consistency and even integrity.

• From: Kalyasi on Fri Nov 6 3:39:51 2009.

  Night of the maestro
  
  Tendulkar turned it on, but the Australians stuck to their plans
  
  Ramesh Soundararajan
  
  
  Favourite player
  
  It has to be Sachin Tendulkar. He remains the only name from those of a billion-plus to be chanted with pride by tens of thousands of Indians in unison.
  
  Key performer
  
  Shane Watson. He started off steadily before hammering three sixes and a few boundaries. Set up the platform with Shaun Marsh. Watson faced the first ball, from Praveen Kumar, and 99 overs later, bowled the last over to him. His three wickets were critical too - especially Yuvraj and the break-through one of Suresh Raina. While this will be remembered as Tendulkar's match, Watson ended up on the winning side.
  
  Biggest absence
  
  Never since the days of Imran Khan calling additional players on a whim to Sharjah have we seen a floating side like Australia. What is essentially an Australia B team is leading India 3-2. They might field Dennis Lillee in the last ODI, but they are not really missing anyone.
  
  Any reason, Pragyan Ojha has been sidelined?
  
  He would at least have tried like a genuine spinner to get wickets.
  
  One thing I'd have changed about the match
  
  Praveen Kumar got Ricky Ponting bowled and Watson got Harbhajan Singh caught behind. Other than these, every single wicket fell to the batsmen's indiscretion or over-ambition. One does not want to see Kotla kind of wickets, but this one was overloaded in favour of batsmen. Make the pitch a little tougher to bat on. And can we erase Tendulkar's Misbah moment?
  
  Face-off I relished
  
  I was looking forward to Hyderabad versus its reputation and Asoka de Silva versus Indian batsmen. Bless the man, he was tempted but stood firm. And Hyderabad continues to be a nemesis for the home team.
  
  Bright young thing
  
  Raina looks a compact player. Good balance, shots round the wicket, and has the big shots too. He could be a good No. 3 if someone can sort out his issues with short-pitched bowling. Marsh continues to impress in India. And it was tough to believe Clint McKay was on his international debut. He was the best bowler on show. Graham Manou was quite impressive as well.
  
  Wow moment
  
  MS Dhoni, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj all dropped catches. Off the last ball of the innings, Cameron White swung hard. A familiar figure ran in from the cover boundary and got his dive just right to take the catch. It was the first positive moment for the home fans in three hours, and Tendulkar kept the mood buoyant for the next three.
  
  Player watch
  
  Ball goes to his left, Ashish Nehra runs around and gives two. Ball goes right, Nehra still gives two. The ball is hit in the air to him. A diving catch, maybe? No, Nehra times it well enough to concede two. The crowd really gets after him and starts booing. Is Mark Twain his favorite author?
  
  Shot of the day
  
  White's six over extra cover was extraordinary. But the match was like 20 years of Tendulkar consolidated into 175 runs. The front-foot pull, straight drive, step out and loft, and paddle sweep were all brought out. The best four were a couple of cover drives along the ground, a late glance to fine leg, and a late cut. All of them went in the vicinity of fielders, but they too were part of the audience for these shots.
  
  
  Crowd meter
  
  It was likely the biggest crowd for a cricket match in Hyderabad. The noise was deafening when Tendulkar and Raina were on song. Lots of national flags, and faces painted with the tricolour. There was a noisy DJ as well, asking the crowd to do Mexican waves and chant. Harbhajan seems to have gotten more popular, going by the ovation he got on arriving at the crease. Much more than Gautam Gambhir, India's top-ranked player. It was also good to see a crowd of about 200 people on the hill abutting the ground.
  
  Entertainment
  
  The DJ played music in Hindi and in Telugu.There was also a deal - if you sent an SMS to a certain number, the message would be displayed on the big screen. Nothing sensational there, though. Big cheers greeted the trumpet tune from the IPL in South Africa.
  
  Hardship factor
  
  The stadium as you see it on TV is very good, but the innards are dirty. It almost feels as if they painted the stadium and ran out of cash for the rest. Rs 1000 will get you a buffet in a five-star hotel with personal attention. Here it makes you feel you've gone to first-day showing of a blockbuster film without a reserved ticket. Too much pushing and shoving, and the entrances are badly designed. Every edible item was overpriced by 300%. I like it better in Bangalore. Maybe the authorities did not envisage the turnout.
  
  ODI v Twenty20?
  
  The consolidation phase of the Australian innings was very boring. Don't get me wrong, but muscular batting is not easy on the eye. I thought Tendulkar had a point in suggesting ODIs have two innings. But that would be manufacturing excitement, like with a lot of Twenty20 cricket. Good cricket is all about exciting match-ups and great performances. Twenty-overs cricket limits that scope and so does have a hook to engage the viewer, most times. When you think of ODIs, you would think Sachin; but you are most likely to think of an administrator when you think Twenty20. Go figure.
  
  Marks out of 10
  
  8.5. The final margin was just three runs, thanks to one of Tendulkar's top ODI knocks. (This will be the sad 175, to go with Kapil Dev's happy 175). Australia seemed to have a plan for each Indian batsman and stuck to it. Barring a few fielding glitches, they were professional. The Indian approach was disjointed from the time Watson hit his second six. If in Indian conditions, this is the best we can do, the 2011 World Cup could be a lot tougher than anticipated.

  Ravindra Jadam's runout is perhaps the one thing that lost us the match. Dhoni sending Harbhajan ahead is being overcriticized.

Sachin got out in the most horrifying manner. Field-a seck paNNaamaiya viLayAduradhu. When Sachin got out I pretty much lost interest. A large part of me didn't want Praveen Kumar to become a hero hitting winning runs and all. So I won't say I am so disappointed. It was sad to see Sachin so sad at the presentation ceremony - avvaLo dhaan. I missed the chunk of the innings and got home pretty late yesterday. Must watch a retelecast soon.

  
  
  Totally disagree with the Durbhajan decision. Durbhajan is a "pattA bAgyam" case. He previously has proved that when there is no pressure, he'll throw the bat around and get a few runs, but when the crunch comes, he cannot even survive. In the first match in this series, both these facets of him were in display.
  In this match, it was a cool sub-7 run rate situation. Sachin needed someone who can rotate the strike and not be too ambitious. Nudging the ball around is not the Durby way. Jadeja was more suited for it - for that is the only thing he is good at as of now in internationa matches. Even if he swallowed a few balls, Sachin could have compensated.
  
  Coming to Durby, he should be ideal in powerplays where he can blindly throw his bat about, and because of the field inside, get a few runs. And no pressure situation, please, for him. This being the case, Durby in was a bad decision - I am assuming that this is one of the "mental miscalculations" that Dhoni referred to.
  
  Durby should not be in the team, in the first place.

  I wonder if he is really a better fielder than Dravid. Maybe he looks good with all that preening in the field but in terms of effectiveness, I really doubt. I am sure Badri is a better fielder than most in the current team. And a reliable batsman. Food for thought? Maybe, keep him in squad and use him bowler friendly pitches, and keep the flat track bullies for flat tracks.

  Exactly, Benny! idhai thaan naan sollindurukkaen. As of date, Badri is a more reliable fielder.
  Now, now, even at his best, Savraj was only a show pony Here's why:
  A brief recap of the 175 match.
  Yuvraj had several shockers diving around in this match, losing the ball each time embarassingly. I wasnt surprised. Here's why:
  There are two aspects to a great fielder - anticipation and reflexes. The greatest of our times, Jonty Rhodes had both in abundance. Yuvraj is a reflexes man. His athleticism was the key to his fielding. With his new found belly and lack of fitness, not surprising that his reflexes let him down and he flopped as a fielder in this series.
  
  Even at his pomp, his lack of anticipation let him down. AS benny pointed out, diving around the ball inappropriately, failing to reach his palm out while diving - how many times have I seen him doing this in his favourite positions - faulty catching technique. something which was shown up badly when he stood at slips or forward short leg or silly point.
  
  Clearly, image and show counts for more than performance in Indian Cricket. As a batsman, he is way above so I was not advocating replacing him with Badri - I was merely pointing out that when the selectors make a big deal of fielding, some of out so-called best fielders dont match up to even the rejected domestic ones. Besides, Badri can add solidity to this flat track bully batting line up.

  Adhukku thaan paathuttu pEsaNumgaadhu. Yuvraj fielding paathIngaLA? All his flaws were exposed which was always on the cards once his atleticism and reflexes dwindled - some of us predicted this based on his misses and catching technique in all positions. Those who went by his show pony antics still are surprised that we call other solid and good fielders better than savraj.
  
  Azhar, Jadeja and Robin were much better fielders than all of the moden youngsters who have the additional benefit of modern training and better facilities.
  I repeat, badri is one of the best fielders today ahead of savraj and aina. Kaif of few years bacl was outstanding(remember the safe catching in cover-point region, deep fielding and catching, direct hits, electric runouts? Only iin close in positions was he weak)
  Azhar is the best allround fielder we have had. Electric in the circle, safe in the slips, excellent to spinners in fsl and s.point...

  Nice. Next time when ypou watch him, watch his reactions. or watch replat of sachin's hyd match. When he misfields or drops a catch, look at his reaction time. Indha maadhii vatch anticipation ilaaama edukka mudiyum - if reflexes are exttaordinary. Natural athlete. That is why, as he gets old and injured, his fielding has come down - because reflexes are down now. If anticipation was decent, he wouldn't be so poor as in hyderabad.
  
  Watch rhodes or even jadeja(not ravindran - ajayan) or robin.

  Dhoni became the first Indian player to score 1000+ runs in 2009.. he is fourth in all over the world ( more happy news : Ponting is the first ) This is really considering he comes at No.5.
  
  and he has an average of around 70 in 2009 whoch is the highest among anhybody who has played in 2009.

  Yes, yes, Hamid. His average is a well-known behemoth. But konjam peerainju pArkaNum, S Rajesh usually does analysis like "when he came in at 3 wickets down for less than 100, his average was xyz, when he came in at 1 wicket down for 100+, his average shoots up to 4*xyz" etc.
  
  If that is done for Dhoni, I'd be interested in it

  Rain Threat As India Look To Finish On Winning Note
  Gaurav Gupta | TNN
  
  Mumbai: A wonderful, state-of-theart stadium, ranked as high as the sixth best amongst cricket stadia in the world, all decked up to host its first international game. A city, bruised and battered by a ghastly terror attack almost a year ago, gearing up to stage its first top-level cricket match since then. A clash between two of the best One-Day teams of the planet. The ingredients for a perfect climax for a grand finale of the seven-match ODI series between India and Australia were all there. Sadly though, the Indians failed to hold their nerves at crucial moments in the series to render the seventh ODI at the DY Patil Stadium here meaningless. To make matters worse, unseasonal, but persistent rain now threatens to wash out this contest as well.
  Though this match, if it does take place, will be more like a football game where the last few minutes are largely inconsequential once it is clear that one of the teams has pumped in enough goals, there was plenty of enthusiasm building up for Wednesday, with all tickets being sold out. Mumbai, after all, is cricket-starved. The home of Indian cricket hasn’t hosted an ODI since, incidentally the seventh ODI of the India-Australia series back in October 2007.
  Tragically, the constant drizzle that the city is experiencing could wash out the last game of this largely fiercely-contested series in Navi Mumbai and hand Australia a 4-2 series win.
  There is one man not willing to give up though. Former India fast bowler Abey Kuruvilla is the man in charge of the ground, located in the DY Patil University Campus area. As somebody who has tended this place with all heart and soul and made it ready for top-class cricket, Kuruvilla should be feeling hurt. The tall man made tall claims to TOI on the match eve. “As long as the rain stops before the game, action will start on time, don’t worry about that. Even if it rains heavily, we will get the ground ready in about an hour,” he promised, pointing out that the ground has an excellent drainage system to back his claims.
  Shaking off any travel weariness they may have been experiencing after their Bharat darshan, the Aussies practised for a good couple of hours in the morning. They were lucky in the sense that by the time they were through, it started drizzling steadily.

  Ind vs Aus 7th ODI: Rain delays start of play

  Ind vs Aus 7th ODI
  F Prev Next L
  Mumbai: The last and final ODI match of Hero Honda Cup 2009 between India and Australia has been delayed due wet ground conditions at DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai today.
  
  The umpires will inspect the pitch at 4.30 pm in evening to take any decision, sources said.
  
  The match could not be start before 5.00 pm. Due to depression in Arbaian Sea, heavy rains have been lashing several parts of financial capital of India from yesterday. Both the teams have been instructed to stay inside the hotel.
  
  If the match is abandoned, Australia will win the series 4-2 after coming back strongly from a 1-2 deficit and went on to win three consecutive matches to pocket the series.
  
  Cyclon Phyan is likely to hit the West coast of Mumbai by midnight, Met department sources said.
  
  Groundmen are struggling hard to make ground available for play. But the possibility of play is very grim.
  
  Australia has already clinched the seven match ODi series 4-2. The only attraction of today's match is local boy Sachin Tendulkar, who is on the verge of another record in his kitty. The Indian batting maestro is just 49 runs short to complete 30, 000 international runs.
  
  Sachin will have to wait this milestone if today match washes out.

  It's wet wet wet in Mumbai, where the last ODI of this series is to be played. It has rained a lots, and is still drizzling. News - rather damp one - is that there is no chance of play till 5pm, which is when the umpires will come out and inspect the ground. Provided it doesn't rain more. We'll keep you posted.

  Warning itself was to prepare the ground for the recall, I think. I am appalled at the way people have ganged up against Sreesanth, while supporting that racist, incompetent match-loser Durby. Half the reason Sreesanth is unwanted in the indian team is the surge of support and protective ring around Durby. And the media too has latched on to Santh as a villain while Durby goes scot free.
  
  I have a lot of time for santh. While RP, Irfan , Munaf etc got wickets, he was the only one who looked like he is earning his wickets. Unlike them, he seemed to be genuinely drawing the batsmen into mistakes. Everyone talks his unqiue gift of landing it consistently on the seam. I dont know what that means so I'll not talk about it. Talent wise, I think he ranks only behind Ishant, if at all, among Indian pacers. It is a pity we cannot nurture him. Afterall, kochu kuttanANavan, ille? Can we not counsel and orient him instead of perversely waiting for him to erupt and grant a good story for everyone?

  Update 4.15pm
  
  Amodh: "I am just outside the stadium and it has stopped raining. It hasn't rained for past 15-20 minutes." But let me remind you, no inspection before 5pm Kendall from Australia, though, is looking for hope where there might not be much: "Hey Sharad...if you can see the roof-top of DY Patil Stadium clearly....then the drizzle cant be too bad then huh? No offence intended...I just wanna see some play!"
  
  Update 4pm
  
  Sharad Agarwal has this update to give from Vashi, not too far from the DY Patil Stadium. "Just peeped outside my office building in Vashi from where I can see the roof-top of DY Patil stadium clearly. It's still drizzling."

  Its hilarious to see the tone where we expect them to be accountable to us!!
  
  Still, thappu right, judgement argument ku pogamale, always when one hears of such party stuff, practice ethics, etc etc there has been one name which has never had a blemish - Sachin Tendulkar

  It's not like they shouldn't party at all. After such a close defeat and almost losing the series, how can one have fun in parties

  I don't know what they do and what they did. I just said it's worrying if they don't take the defeat seriously. If you think there's nothing wrong with it, then shake hands/walk off

  The score line was 3-2 with 2 games left. So they still had choice. Seri appadiyae irundhalum enna ippo??. Thotha matchae nenachu mookala aludhitu iruknuma?. Idhu onnum world cup illayae??. As some one says it is a non consequential ODI series dhaane.
