Among all the criticism heaped on West Indies cricket in recent years, one of the foremost has been the lack of resolve shown by their players who have appeared diffident, in contrast to the weight of the great tradition they bear. Too many times, dominating positions have been frittered away, conveying the impression that they seemingly do not care to gain ground. The hurt is magnified, given that that the West Indies is the only place outside the sub-continent where cricket is still, hopefully, much more than just a game.
That is why the win in the first Test against Pakistan should ideally be much more than just another win - it was the first...

I've reached the end.And what a nice way to say goodbye.It was great to finish here in Mumbai with a big win and I am really pleased with the way we all played.It seemed fitting that my last match was against the great Sachin Tendulkar in his own backyard. All week I had been looking forward to resuming...

As unfortunate it was to see the Rajasthan Royals crash out of the tournament, Shane Warne's last game of the IPL, and indeed of competitive cricket, provided him with a fitting farewell. The Royals won and it was as convincing a win as one could get from a T20 game and Warne managed to pick up a wicket off the last over he bowled.
The script had gone down the path as Warne would have expected it to, with the other Shane in the side nailing...

Well KKR and MUM IPL Match will be played on 14 May 2011 was a stunner. This match will be remembered at least for the players of the Deccan team and Deccan fans for quiet a long time.
Another interesting match will be played between Delhi and Kolkatta teams. Delhi once again needs a win badly. They are once again placed in the bottom of the points table and a defeat here means they are just left to play few other matches just to cause setbacks to the other teams . http://crazycricket-world.blogspot.c...

The PCB has asked Sri Lanka Cricket "for their views" on the prospect of playing their series later this year in Pakistan instead of Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka were the last team to play international cricket in Pakistan - their tour in March 2009 was cut short after terrorists attacked their team bus as it was on the way to the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore for the second Test.That attack, on the back of growing security concerns over the previous two years,...

Tanvir Ahmed and Pakistan's phalanx of spinners put the tourists in control of the second Test against West Indies on the second day in Basseterre. With Saeed Ajmal, Ahmed first put together a rousing, defiant last-wicket stand of 78 to not only prevent Pakistan's first innings from going to total waste, but actually make it a little imposing.Ajmal, Abdur Rehman and Mohammad Hafeez then shared six wickets between them as West Indies slumped to...

That’s been the daily call sheet for each of the Kannada film actors who will be playing for team Karnataka at the much-hyped Celebrity Cricket League which kick-starts on June 4 in Bangalore.
“An hour and a half of physical training, followed by an intense practise session on the field for another hour is rounded off with more exercise,” says actor Dharma, one of the team members.
The preparation does not end here. A healthy diet plan and a...

If there is anything to be had in the Test pitches in this early part of the summer, this could be a torrid tour for Sri Lanka.
They do not appear to have any firepower with the ball sufficient to dismiss a good batting side, and during the afternoon here, showed that they are vulnerable to good pace bowling.
The hard work appeared to have been done against the new ball as Paranivatana and Dilshan added 59 against Onions and Finn before the former...

The excitement of cricket odds has since waned for the West Indies, but there was a time when they dominated the sport, and cricket online betting fans can relive their glory days when watching the new film, Fire in Babylon.
Colin Croft, former fast bowler, was an aggressive player and his cricket odds of 8/29 against Pakistan in 1977 are still the best by a fast bowler from the West Indies in Test.
“We were so far ahead of our time. We were 20...

GLAMORGAN rising star James Harris left England captain Andrew Strauss in no doubt of his talents at Lord’s yesterday.
Harris might have been overlooked for the England Lions selectors for this week’s match against Sri Lanka but was presented yesterday with a direct audition in front of Strauss.
On a dream opening day for Harris and the in-form Glamorgan side in the county championship clash against Middlesex, the Pontarddulais paceman took his...

Three early-season home Tests against Sri Lanka might have been a hard sell, in bygone days, for the England and Wales Cricket Board.
But surely only a chastened economy can have slowed tickets for next week's npower opener in Cardiff - a venue which struggled so badly to attract worthwhile crowds to last September's NatWest Twenty20 double-header against tainted Pakistan.
If a sub-continental summer against Sri Lanka and India appeared something of a chore to the less-than-hardcore cricket supporters of a decade or so ago, those same casuals need only scratch the surface to discover times have changed.
English cricket perhaps needs another...

KARACHI: Pakistan's legendary leg-spinner Abdul Qadir saluted Shane Warne on Friday, hailing the Australian as a "diamond" who left an indelible impression on the game with his exemplary skill.
The 41-year-old Warne bows out from cricket on Friday in an Indian Premier League match for the Rajasthan Royals against Indian icon Sachin Tendulkar in Mumbai, ending a glorious and controversial career.
"I found Shane a great human being and a great cricketer. I use the word great for only a few players, like I can use it for Tendulkar and Warne," Qadir said. "For me Warne was a diamond for his exemplary skills."
Qadir, himself revered as a great...

KARACHI: Ijaz Butt on Thursday pushed Pakistan cricket off the track when he sacked Shahid Afridi as captain just when it seemed things were falling in place for the national team.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman replaced Afridi with Misbah-ul-Haq the veteran batsman who will turn 37 later this month — for the brief, two-match One-day International series against Ireland. Butt didn’t even bother to give any reason for Afridi’s sacking...

The new Indian coach, has said that his coaching philosophy will not be dictatorial in approach but will be about offering advice to the players. Fletcher also pointed out that he had mentored Gary Kirsten and that was one of the main reasons that influenced Kirsten to recommend him for the post and for the BCCI to appoint him.
"It's not about dictating to the Indian players how I want them to play - sure to some degree you have to try influencing...

Gambhir will lead a depleted Indian side to the limited-overs leg of the West Indies tour, with five first-choice players including Sachin Tendulkar and MS Dhoni either rested or injured. As expected, the national selectors haven't given much weightage to performances in the IPL, instead rewarding results in the more traditional domestic competitions. S Badrinath, Rohit Sharma and Parthiv Patel muscled their way in helped by the weight of runs in...
