Indian cricket team needs to learn to walk the talk. All the aggression they show with their hands and glares needs to be put into action. Aussies are the true champions and they play aggresively which is defined in winning matches from a situation of 13 for 3.
Ponting rightly states in his article Some Indians misinterpreting aggression - Ponting
"Both teams can still play aggressively, but when the Australian team speaks about playing aggressively I think a lot of people get the wrong idea," Ponting wrote in his column for the Australian newspaper.
"I don't mean talking aggressively or showing aggressive body language. That's exactly the opposite of what aggressive or positive cricket is all about. A few of the Indians have reacted very much with aggressive body language and trying to force themselves upon us, and I think the way some of them are playing their cricket that they have also misinterpreted what aggressive cricket means.
"I suppose if some of the players don't understand it, a lot of people watching the game in the stands or at home don't understand it either. It's not jumping up and down, sledging, giving people send-offs and that sort of stuff. When the Australian team talks about playing aggressively, we are committing ourselves to playing hard: there's nothing given and there's nothing asked to be given."
The series till now has given the impression of 'history' repeats itself. After the 1983 WC win, WI the uncrowned champions had come to India and thrashed India 5-0 in ODI series. Now as things are progressing in this series the same result seems to be on card unless Indian team pull up their socks.
It is time, the stars of the Indian Cricket team live upto everyones' expectations.
And youngsters live upto the Twenty20 WC championship tag

Pakistan Captains draws flak for his comments
No match between India v/s Pakistan can end without generating controversies off the field. The Twenty20 WC finals was no different. Pakistan captain's comments at the post-match ceremony has created uproar in cricket fraternity.
the reaction posted by Mukul Kesavan at the cricinfo blog site "Scenes from a final" are worth reading
"It is a world where Muslims, Hindus and a Sikh currently play for England, where Buddhists, Muslims, Christians and a Hindu play for Sri Lanka, where Hashim Amla turns out for South Africa, where a Patel plays for New Zealand, where Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Hindus play (and have always played) for India. Why would Shoaib think, then, that the Muslims of the world were collectively rooting for the Pakistan team or that they felt let down by its defeat? Did he stop to think of how Danish Kaneria, his Hindu team-mate, might feel hearing his Test skipper all but declare that the Pakistan team is a Muslim team that plays for the Muslims of the world? It is one thing to be publicly religious—Shahid Afridi thanked Allah and Matt Hayden and Shaun Pollock are proud, believing Christians—quite another to declare that your country's cricket eleven bats for international Islam. "
Pakistani captain is a good sportsman and probably should be given the benefit of doubt as this would be the comments made in the spur of the moment. He is definetely going to take this as a learning experience and lead Pakistan cricket into future.
Personally, this was a game fought between two good teams. The best team on the day won and in the end cricket was the winner.

India are Twenty20 WC Champions
Indian Cricket team has been crowned the World Champions in the shortest version of cricket.
24 September'2007 will be remembered for a long time to come. It will be cherished by Indian fans as it was achieved with a win over their arch rivals Pakistan.
What a thriller of a match.... Pakistan tottering at one stage and recovering to come fraction close to winning the finals. But Indians just kept their cool and one fatal mistake of the day happened to bring down the curtains on the finale.
This young team was expected to make up the numbers at the Twenty20 WC. There were no expectations or pressure on the players to prove themselves. Though there were some who did have a point or two to prove for their return to national side.
If the batsman were scintillating, the bowlers were not far behind. With young and strong legs, the fielders were atheletic on the field and backed the bowlers to the hilt.
It was a complete team effort. There were people who were ready to raise their hands when given opportunity. India played the SA without the star - Yuvraj of the previous game and Rohit Sharma stepped in to do the job. Today India were without Shewhag, and Yuvraj & Dhoni failed to take off, but Gambhir & Sharma played the knocks of their life to keep India in hunt.
This young team will cherish the moments for their lifetime now.
CHAK DE INDIA has become CHAK DIYA India

Young Indian Brigade Storms into Twenty20 W
The young turks of Indian Cricket team have done it once again.... They have stormed into the "FINALS OF THE TWENTY20 WC" and setup a clash with arch rivals PAKISTAN.
WOW... Finals is going to be a game to watch. No one could have predicted a finals between India v/s Pakistan. For many generations, it has been a dream for many of the Indian and Pakistani fans to have their teams playing in finals of a World Cup. This will definitely make the sponsors and TV channels jump with joy.
Both the teams had been ousted from the ODI WC earlier this year in the first round. Reaching the finals of the Twenty20 WC would definitely erase some of the bitter memories from the minds of the cricket fans in both countries.
Chak De India.....

Young Indian Guns rolling in SA
Young guns of Indian Cricket team are rolling in SA...they knocked out the host from the Twenty20 WC.
This victory showcased the exuberance of the youth. Scintillating fielding, swinging bowling and flowing batting...all the 3 combined sealed the fate of South Africans.
Yuvraj the other day showed his frustruations on the England side, by sending the ball soaring into the Orbit for 6 consecutive times and today the SA team was at the receiving end of Rohit sharma's bat. Probably Rohit was sending out signal to BCCI selectors for dumping him without giving his due.
Fielding was sensational, must have defienetly made Jonty Rhodes proud - alas his home team had to make the exit from another WC at an early stage. Rohit did not end his day with 50 on board but also took the centerstage with a Jonty like runout of Kemp. If the run-out was outstanding, the catch by D Kartick was breath-taking.
RP Singh is having the best time of his cricketing career... a great series in England and now a great bowling spell that brought down the curtains on SA hopes of entering the semis of Twenty20 WC.
Indian team now take on the hot favorites Aussies in the semis. Hope the Indian captain Dhoni would be able to induce enough motivation and self-belief in the team that they could put it away against the Aussies.
If India win on Saturday, this team would have definetely erased the memories of 2003 WC debacle to some extent.....
Go India... CHAK DE INDIA

Rudderless Ship - Indian Team
With the resignation of Dravid as Indian captain, the Indian Cricket team seems to be going nowhere.
No Captain, No coach.... BCCI needs to take an action soon to put the train back on rails. At this moment, the sudden resignation of the captain after successful tour of England really raises some eyebrows. The excuse of concentrating on his batting does not really gel with the circumstances.
And the news of Tendulkar being offered the captaincy, is really taking a step backwards. With news of Tendulkar contemplating retirement from the shortened version of the game, does it really make sense in giving Tendulkar the opportunity to lead.
It would be better to have Dravid continue for some more time and groom an youngster for the job of captainship i.e. would be Yuvraj or Shewhag (if he makes his comeback) or Dhoni
Well, we would know the path BCCI takes in the next couple of days and the decision might even change the destiny of the Indian team's performance in the remaining half of the season.

Long Hiatus - Blogging time again
It has been a very long hiatus for yours truely... Have been busy with a project at work and had been traveling which did not give me enough time to blog...
Lots of water has flown under the bridge since last written on this blog
My son has started his first year of school and thus steps into the real world
SRK has returned with a super box office hit CHAKDE.. reviews the memories of Indian Hockey Glorious days
RGV disappoints again with RGVKIAAG... don't understand why Bollywood is depending on old movies & making remixes like the music
Hyderabad undergoes a turmoil weekend...as the blasts rock the city
India have won the TEST series and lost the ONE-DAY series in England.
India go to Twenty20 WC without their 3 main players...and may be the beginning of a new era and end of an illustratious career of 3 big names in Indian Cricket.
And after lot of debates finally one hears of retirement of a genius from the world of cricket. Sachin has been playing his best cricket on the tour of England, but the body and age has been telling on him.
Lets wait and see if this year would see the end of a great career in world of sports

India Without a Coach on A Tour
Wow... Work has been so hectic for the past couple of weeks...
Last time when yours truely wrote about Indian cricket, a coach for the Indian team had been found and finalized.
But it was not to be....the appointed coach said goodbye even before taking off on the tour of the INDIAN PARADISE. BCCI has since then swallowed the bitter pill and the Indian team has embarked on a tour to the Ireland & England without a coach. In these days when all the other countries talk about professionalism and accountability, these two words just don't seem to be part of the Indian Cricket authorities dictionary.
Just when things seem to be moving forward, Indian cricket always does a U-turn and goes back 2-3 steps.
Coming back to cricket being played...Sachin seems to be putting up scores on the board but that does not seem to make the critics happy. Even his 99 against SA is not being ranked as a face-saving effort for the Indian team. With the age, the best batsman seems to have lost his 'BOOST' power and seems to be just playing for the sake of being in the center of things.
It is high time, India looks beyond the three pillars of Indian Cricket. The days are not far away when DADA, Sachin and The Wall are going to hang up their boots.
It was on the tour of England that India discovered two finest players Dada and The Wall. ... This tour may decide how long they play for India before hanging their boots for good

Indian Cricket team has a new Coach
After days of speculation, the Indian Coach has been named and he is GRAHAM FORD
If you wish to read more about him...
http://specials.rediff.com/cricket/2007/jun/06slide1.htm
Time will only tell how this coach will setup India's cricketing future in coming years. He definetely does not have the charishma and hype that surrounded the earlier coaches to coach India.
let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. And hope the "PLAYERS COACH" works well with the STAR-UNIT of INDIAN CRICKET TEAM

STAR WARS - Completes 30 years
Guys while on way to India and surfing the net at the Changi Airport came across this interesting headline
STAR WARS - Completes 30 years.... Wow.. I still have the avid memories of going to the MADHURAM theatre in Ahmedabad and queuing up to watch the first movie of STAR WARS being screened there. For those who are familar with 1970-80 era of Ahmedabad film circle, would remember two prominent theatres - ADVANCE & MADHURAM which used to screen the ENGLISH movies.
And when rewinding down the memory one does not realise that it was way back in 1977 that STAR WARS was first relised. Yours truely definetly remembers those names which have become a legend Luke Skywalker,Han Solo (played by young Harrison Ford) and R2-D2( robot that won many hearts).

Tendulkar in Spotlight again
Even though Tendulkar is trying his level best to silence the critics, the list of critics keeps growing.
Tendulkar has scored two centuries in the series in Bangladesh but those too are not being regarded highly by the critics.
Intersting statistics posted at cricinfo in the article
"There must be truth to it but the manner in which he crawled to a century today has left even that argument open to doubt. Today's was a solid, honest Test century - for a debutant, not for someone playing his 137th Test"
Read the article ... Whither Tendulkar?
Things just don't seem to be going Tendulkar's way both on & off the field...

Bangladesh Series - Purpose Undefined
India have embarked on a test series with Bangladesh which carries no importance in the eyes of the cricketing world.
The media has given the series a big hype by terming it as a "REVENGE SERIES". The kind of sensational opening a bollywood masala movie would hope for.
If one runs thru the pages of cricket history, there was definetely a ' revenge' series played in India after the WC-1983. West Indies had come to India with soul objective of defeating India after they had lost the WC-1983 finals. And boy...they Blackwashed India completely during that series...
Since the Bangladesh tour started there has been less play and more rain delays. It makes no sense in going to Bangladesh when the whole world knows it is the pre-monsoon season. It is high time someone puts their step down and lets the ICC know that they had an over-dose of cricket.
After the debacle in WC-2007, there was a call for complete changeover in the composition of the Indian Team. Whoever was looking to see any new faces in Indian Team must have been born recently and not knowing the facts. India are still playing with Ganguly and Tendulkar, they are scoring hundreds and making sure they are on the England tour. Poor Laxman....he is labelled to be non-ODI player and is soon going to be non-existant on the TEST match scorecard. It is time Laxman bids adieu to cricket and settles down in the princely city of Hyderabad.
Indian team is good at making and breaking a players' career. This time round they are busy doing the same with a cricketer called Dinesh kartik. In the next couple of seasons, when the batting form deserts him, he will be dumped by Indian selectors. He will be left pondering whether he ever knew the business of wicket-keeping. If you guys don't agree, please go and look at the career graph of a player called Irfan Pathan after he was termed as the next "KAPIL DEV" - the all-rounder for Indian Team.
From a layman point of view, the Bangladesh series does not seem to govern any positives for Indian team. They have not tried or tested out any new players who would stand out and be counted. Moreover, it is becoming pretty clear India does not have a strong bench and they will be a big void when the 3 stalwarts of current team bid adieu to cricket.

Aussies win the WC-2007 - The Invicibles
Australia are the true winners of the Cricket World Cup -2007.
They lift the cup for the 3rd consecutive time and the PIEGON - Glen Mcgrath signs off in style.
Probably Glen Mcgrath was the only one of the oldies who was destined to have a fairytale end to his career.
Congratulations to AUSTRALIAN TEAM...

Imposing Total for SL - WC 2007 Finals
Aussies have posted an imposing totals for Sri Lanka to chase in the WC-2007 finals.
Australia riding high on Adam Gilchrist knock of 149 runs is placed well at this stage.
Everyone is waiting to see how SL reply to this mountain of runs. It is going to be a herculean task chasing and climbing the Mt. Everest. SL would like Jaysuriya fire on the top, Sangakkara play another good knock and the captain Jaywardane would need another GEM of a knock to take the WC back home.
If Jaysuriya fires.... WHO KNOWS WE MAY SEE THE SHIELD OF INVICIBILITY BREAKING DOWN IN THE YELLOW BRIGADE...
Let's hope we have a good game and not a one-sided finals as has been off-late....
Go TIGERS...

WC 2007 - Moment to Reckon
Gilchrist gets his hundred and the next ball the whole of SL must have gone up in joy .... but it was not to be
Gilchrist snicked the ball after he got his hundred and Sangakkara came up with a fabulous take...And immediately raised his hand to signal 'NOT DONE' ... he had floored the catch during his roll-over...
A GREAT SIGN OF SPORTSMANSHIP in the heat of the moment... HATS OFF to SANGAKKARA for playing the game in true spirit.
Meanwhile...Gilchrist has completed a great hundred and has taken the game away from SL in the first session of this final.
Sri Lankans are truely looking lost as the Indians did in the last finals. Vaas seems to be bowling like Zaheer Khan on that final day in South Africa...
Gilchrist summary so far 110, 80 balls, 10 4s and 6 6s... wow..

Aussies on a gallop
WC 2007 Cricket Finals is finally underway.... And a different kind of rain is being witnessed at Bridgetown, WI
Gilchrist is playing the "RAIN GOD" and it is raining 6s and 4s. Hayden is playing the pivotal role at the other end and joining in the fun.
SL players are looking up skywards and hoping the rain would make its entry once again.
The way the opening pair of Aussies is galloping away, this looks like more of an 2003 WC replay except that the Sri Lankans seem to be at the receiving end this time round.
Aussies seem to be truely playing as the 'invincibles'. With Ponting, Clarke, Symonds,Hussey still to follow, big score seems to be in offering. Unless,SL pull off something out of their hats, Aussies seem to be running away here with the WC 2007...
