Coming into this test match, this was possibly the best chance Windies had altogether. Now they are facing a tough task ahead with 51 runs more needed and only 1 wicket for Australia to take the series 2-0. BDV-522643-BDV

| ODI At Its Quickest:2nd Match |
| 2009-12-18 23:00:00 |
This match was supposed to be played at Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh but amidst a hostile political situation in the state, organisers thought better to shift to the New Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.One's' loss is others' gain.....Nagpur stood witness to another action packed (And Runs packed) game between hosts India and Sri Lanka. India won the toss and elected to bat first, but Dhoni's calculations went wrong as the Delhi Duo ( Viru & Gauti) was dismissed cheaply. Gambhir getting out in a rather byzerk manner as he collided with Chanaka Welagedara failed to reach back to the bowling crease, trying to complete a cheeky single with Sachin. Virat Kohli & Sachin were now left to rebuild the inning, they managed to put on a 62 run stand.Kohli Completed his fifty ...

| Fast Bowling returns to haunt Ponting |
| 2009-12-16 08:34:00 |
For the first in his career, Ricky Ponting was forced to retire hurt.First Ishant and now a budding express speedster Kemar Roach from West Indies...a place better known for tall legendary fast bowlers like Ambrose, Walsh, and many more against whom almost every batsman in this world feared to face them. Last two years while facing the fast bowlers have been horrid for the Punter. Coming from amidst all the hype just like Sharma, Roach was expected to do what he has done to Ponting in WACA...rip the batsman's body parts apart.While Ishant during his long battle against Ricky fired the ball at a torrid pace and bounce mostly towards the chest and the ass, Roach nearly broke Punter's arm. But during both the encounters, Ponting was left hoping and sometimes in pain at the crease. One must appreciate though for the way he was determined to continue playing despite in pain. BRAVO the blunted Punter!

| T20 at its very, very best: Ind V/s SL 2nd T20 |
| 2009-12-12 10:39:00 |
What a match we have had, last time I thought the match displayed a wonderful game of T20 cricket, but today the game was much better. Fortunately, this time India won the match, and that too successfully chasing down such a high total. Just like the last match, this match also witnessed bad fielding, but this time from both the sides. Surprisingly, the good fielders seem to be dropping easy catches. The Indian bowlers failed to save themselves from the rude batting of the Srilankans, and I could not do anything except to praise the batsmen and criticize the bowlers. The Srilankans maintained a good, healthy run rate throughout their innings, and I would like to give the credit to the sloppy Indian fielding. Looks like the new fielding coach doesn't bring in good fielding spirits. Sangakar...

| A Poem on Sachin |
| 2009-12-11 07:19:00 |
Who saidAnIdle Mind is A Devil's WorkshopA statement which I can prove false. I was sitting idle, so I decided to compose a poem on cricket, wasn't able to do so and wrote one on one of my favourite players- Sachin Tendulkar. Th e poem is not too good, but I believe it is fine as my literature and poetry isn't too good. You might find some useless things, but I had to write something. So please excuse me. Sachin Tendulkar is my favourite cricketer,He is also a good wicket- taker.He runs behind the ball to get his prey,He seems to get famous day by day.He is a person whose qualities can't be possessed by anyone,Out of thousands, he is the only one.Sachin, casts over everyone a magic spell,Without him our lives would surely have been hell.It is hard to believe how easily he sets ...

| New Blog, New Story |
| 2009-12-11 05:46:00 |
Hello friends, I've got a new blog, but this one is only for people who have interest in social and political issues. My new blog, The Inside Story has a lot to offer and most likely our partner Satya Mathur is going to join me. Unfortunately, Rishabh can't join us because he doesn't take interest in fields other than cricket. I will continue to write cricket articles on Crick-o. So if you do take interest in political and social issues, do visit my blog.

| T20 at its very best: SL V/s ind 1st T20 |
| 2009-12-09 09:32:00 |
As I close the television set in frustration, I can watch the Srilankans celebrating their victory, in the 1st T20 at Nagpur. Irrespective of the result, we surely had a wonderful game of cricket, infact I believe it was among the best T20 matches played by India, the best was surely the 2007 World T20 finals at Johannesburg. Those of you who have been lucky enough to watch the action live on television would have seen how the game managed to put on perfect T20 excitement.All cricketers gave their 100 percents, the fielder hitting the stumps on more than one occasion, the bowler coming back to the stumps as quick as he can to collect the ball and the batsman diving to save his vital wicket. Though the wicket gave a bit of extra joy to the batsman, the game lost its excitement only in the l...

| The brainchild of BCCI that has led to India's shaky No.1 position |
| 2009-12-07 08:35:00 |
Now, most of you must have got the idea from the title itself. Of course, it is the IPL and Mr.Lalit Modi who have struck again. And they along with the whole BCCI individual giants are encouraging a format, where India doesn't even rank in top 5. Come on BCCI...why do you always have to something atrocious and harmful for the team in your control? Bring in some more tests please :c ...before we, the fans of Indian Cricket break your luxurious, exquisite office made from the money-through-IPL into bits and pieces.For MSD and Co. somehow provided the icing on the cake by first marking Indian Cricket's 100th test win, and then of course, taking India to numero uno. Now that playing against minnows like Bangladesh is going to give India not even one single point in the table, and with the NZ ...

| Mohammads have done it for Pak at last! |
| 2009-12-06 10:47:00 |
Last time they did their best, yet they could not save their team from the clutches of defeat. This time, they'd overpowered their performance from their previous game along with another Mohammad, who is leading their team in a strange manner. In blogging circles, he's better known as MoYo.In all, a fantastic game played by Pakistan. They pretty much outplayed NZ especially with MoAa(Aamer) and MoAs(Asif) blowing the Kiwi batsmen like 10 skittles(of course 1 remains unbeaten in the end).Now there is a lot to ponder about for Dan and his boys before they take the field in Napier on Dec 11. How are they going to fight complacency as predicted by Vettori. Oh and how are they going to counter the Pakistani duo of MoAa and MoAs?Meanwhile there is some more disappointing news for NZ as Ian O'Brien is retiring from international cricket only to make a living in UK. Sigh...the beard goes :(

| Sehwag-Bowler's Enemy...Viewers Friend |
| 2009-12-05 20:07:00 |
Balls are a Bowlers best friends and to see one's best friend being smashed out mersilessly and repeatedly generates some anger and frustration. Maybe thats why bowlers fear and hate bowling to Virender Sehwag. But you cant blame Sehwag for his bad reputation amoungst the bowlers, because there is only one way in which he knows how to play...That Being The 'Hit Hard & Play Fast' Way...And we shouldn't just pity the Lankans, after all its not the first time that Viru has gone on such a rampage, he's gone past the 300 run mark twice allready..309 (Vs. Pakistan) and 319 (Vs. South Africa).....and we hope more big innings come from his bat in the future. On Friday he got out on 293, just 7 short of 300, but his inning has captured the imagination of people from all over (Exept the Lankans)...
