Is it the Worst India Team Ever? Losing 3rd Match in Raw

Indian cricket team, The New World Champions, are on the verge of losing third test match against England. When England team player started giving statements that they can beat Indian team easily before the start of series was looking hyped. But they proved them self.

The way Indian batsman are playing looks they are left with no yield to make runs. Indian team with worlds best bats men looking like worst combination. What’s going wrong with the Indian team, not understandable to me. Is this the way the team really is or it’s our expectation from World champs to win every series put them in pressure. But big question is? if they cannot take pressure on top most level then why there are on that level.

In Third match Indian team is playing with its best payers then why no one seems to have any grip on England Bowlers. Have you seen worst performance then this series in last 10 year by Indian Team?

What’s the reason?

Is it Dhoni arrogance?

Has Indian Team Under estimated England?

Indian Player only perform in lucrative matches like IPL?

Do you know some other reason? Feel open to write.

India vs Australia 4th test Day 5

The final day was dominated by India's dashing opener Virender Sehwag who continue the display of his strokes and the emotional retirement of Adam Gilchrist.

Australia's vice captain Adam Gilchrist stunned the cricket world on Saturday when he announced he was quitting test cricket at the end of the match, then one-day internationals in March. The Australian Couch said that his retirement has hart Australian cricket more than the great Shane Warne.


Sehwag thumped a brilliant 151 and occupied the crease for more than five hours, contributing more than half the Indian total. No other Indian batsman made more than 20, though most seemed content simply to bat for time rather than runs once the prospect of a result faded. But it sehwag was the one who hold the fort in the last inning of India.

There was never much chance of a result after both teams made in excess of 500 runs in their first innings, but Sehwag at least gave the Indians a glimmer of hope of getting far enough ahead to set up an early declaration on the last day. But the Indian think tank was not able to take the brave decision. They continue to bat on until the both the captain were not agree to draw the match. I thing they should call Australian to bat for at least one hour or two.

The 29-year-old blazed his way to his 13th test century off 123 balls before lunch but was forced to curb his attacking instincts when Rahul Dravid suffered a broken finger and India started losing wickets at regular intervals.

Dravid retired hurt on 13 when he was struck on the finger by a short-pitched delivery from express paceman Brett Lee, who was named player of the series. Sachin Tendulkar, Saurav Ganguly and Vangipurappu Laxman all fell cheaply, forcing Sehwag to adopt a more defensive approach.

Tendulkar, who was named man of the match after scoring a hundred in the first innings, was run out for 13 after a direct hit from Mitchell Johnson. It was unfortunate that he got out in this fashion if was able to carry on in this inning he may also be the Man of the Series.

Ganguly went for 18 when he spooned a catch off Johnson to Mike Hussey at short cover, while Laxman fell for 12 when he glanced a catch off Lee to Gilchrist.
Lee captured a second wicket when he dismissed Mahendra Singh Dhoni for 20, brilliantly caught by Matthew Hayden in the slips, then Gilchrist caught Sehwag when he got a nick off Andrew Symonds.

Harbhajan Singh departed for seven, caught by Ricky Ponting off Brad Hogg, leaving Anil Kumble (nine not out) and Ishant Sharma (two not out) to bat out the last few overs

With neither side in any position to push for a result, India opted to bat out the last day before their captains agreed to an early finish.India, who needed to win the match to draw the series, finished the game on 269 for seven in their second innings and an overall lead of 232 runs thanks to Virender Sehwag brilliant knock who made more then half the score.

Highlight of the Match and series.

Sachin Tendulker got man of the Match for his first inning performance.

Bret Lee got Man of the Series for his brilliant performance throughout the Series.

Australia won the series by 2-1.

India suspend Australia tour

The Indian Cricket Board has decided to call a halt to the team's tour of Australia in order to proceed with their appeal over Harbhajan Singh's three-match ban. Before this BCCI has asked the ICC to change the umpire for then next match but ICC gone against the request of BCCI. ICC officially announced that Buckner will be the umpire in the next match. This raised the volume of protest in BCCI and BCCI chief decided to call of the Tour.
India were due to fly to Canberra for the third Test against Australia but will now remain in Sydney after Harbhajan was banned by match referee Mike Procter for racial abuse towards Australia's Andrew Symonds. The decision has come after the legendary Sachin Tendulker said that Harbhajan had not said any thing like that by Mike Procter gone with Symonds and Clark words and considering only these proof he given this punishment to Harbhajan which is totally one sided decision.


The tourists launched an appeal against the ban and will stay in Sydney in order to obtain a copy of Procter's order, which explains what the racism charges are. "The team will not leave Sydney and move to Canberra as planned today," said a spokesman for the Indian cricket team. "The Team will wait for further instructions from the BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India)." Here I would like to say that Indian team should return back immediately and should start a campaign against ICC monopoly and favoring Australia. They should also give explanation why umpire had asked pointing for a decision to give out Sourav Ganguly.
India narrowly lost the controversial second Test against Australia on Sunday and is now trailing 2-0 in the series. Meanwhile, former Australia bowler Glenn McGrath has defended Test captain Ricky Ponting's integrity following accusations from Indian captain Anil Kumble that Australia had failed to conduct themselves in the correct manner. "If they want to look at his integrity you only have to look at that first innings [when Ponting recalled Rahul Dravid, because he was unsure if he had held a tough chance at second slip]," said McGrath. But I thing The Great McGrath has forgot Symonds who stayed on the wicket after being out three time in same match.

See Umpire mistakes in 2nd Test.






Now BCCI is going in right direction this what they should have done a long time before. Taking this kind of this easy could cost us in big way in future. I can remember when umpire called murlidharan chukker it was Arujna Ranatunga who lead his team out of the ground. This given a boost of confidence to murli and see today he is the best bowler in the world of cricket. We should also support our player in same way.

Keep up the flame burning BCCI. Don’t bow Down against the wrong thing.
