West Indies vs South Africa, Can Indies repeat History

2011-02-24T23:07:00.000+06:00

The match between West Indies and South Africa will be held on 24th February. It will be one of the most interesting matches that to wait to see the result. It’s the opening match for them. Because, in the hands of West Indies that South Africa was to see many of their crucial moment’s defeat. Brian Lara started it 15 years ago. During that world cup tournament, South Africa won every of their group matches till they faced West Indies and was smashed in the hand of Lara by his 111 off 94 and West Indies made a score of 264 for 8.In 2003, 9th February, in the first ICC world cup match, West Indies again defeated South Africa. This time also, Brian Lara scored 116.In the ICC T20 world cup in 2007, 11th September; Chris Gayle took the responsibility to smash South Africa. He made the biggest score and the only century of T20 cricket history. He scored 117.But South Africa managed to win. In 2004, West Indies again made South Africa their victim in the semi final of the Champions Trophy. Again Chris Gayle scored 133.

But West Indies is now a different team and they also realize this .The present ICC World Cup Tournament is also a different one. Since 1996 West Indies Has played 320 matches and lost 169.Among them there are six ODI series lost to South Africa.

So the Caribbean squad may seek inspiration from the past and see the match in the historical context. Gayle thinks they are beatable and they will beat South Africa. Whether they can repeat the history is just a matter to wait and see.

A Win against Kenya ,not All for Pakistan

2011-02-22T10:20:00.001+06:00

Venue:Hambantota.Sri Lanka.

Match: Pakistan vs Kenya

Date: 23.02.11

Pakistan team draws focus on them more for their controversy and scandal. In some recent years Pakistan have come under discussion for such affairs as are not healthy for cricket. The mysterious death of their coach,so frequent change of captain, involving of the players in match fixing, attack on cricket players in Pakistan-all these have brought very negative discussion on them.Its not that Pakistan come with talented players.But this side of bountiful cricket talents is usually overlooked in general discussion though not by their opponents.This team is a unique team for the players are waiting to make their names and not those who sells their name.This is a team of young talents.The match fixing controversy sided some veteran cricketers from the team.So the team is now a combination of the young and experienced, of flared and pragmatic.

In the last six months they have won in three different lands .In last 19 ODI they have won in 8 and lost 10 match. But what worries experts most is that they can’t finish off close game. In the matches above, they won or lost but very closely. Also in the long bilateral ODI series they produce the same inability.

Though they won the ODI series with New Zea land and defeated Bangladesh in warm up match,the lost to England by 67 run in 2nd warm up match. Kenya is not a big challenge for them. But if they wants to bring back 1992 and become champion 2nd time they must learn how to finish well and must play rightly in right time.

Australia Confident to Win Against Zimbabwe

2011-02-21T12:54:00.000+06:00

This is the first world cup that Australia didn’t come with a clear favorite. Yet Ricky Ponting‘s squad has enough weapons to blow Zimbabwe out and make a very confident start.The team will obviously take inspiration from their world cup performance.Moreover Zimbabwe is not a strong opponent to them.They are still one of the best ODI squads.They have proved it picking a 6-1 win over England though they lost the Ashes series just before the ODI series to England.They also have a record of winning 23 consecutive world cup matches since 1999. They defeated South Africa by 7 wickets in the warm up match though lost to India by 38 runs.

But the Zimbabwe team is some what different than the team Australia defeated in 3-0 in 2004 though some of the players of that team will play.The team will be spirited from the memory of two wins against Australia in T20 World Cup 2007 and in a warm up match in T20 world Cup 2010 and also from the memory of the famous win in 1983 at Trent Bridge.Moreover Zimbabwe have a set of emerging stars in their team. So if Australia doesn’t play their best Zimbabwe can make the match very competitive.

The match will be held in Ahmedabad and Start at 14:30 local time (09:00 GMT)

Cricket officials are public servants Indian Supreme Court

2011-02-04T10:12:00.000+06:00

In a ruling the Indian Supreme Court has upheld the Kerala High Court’s view that the cricket officials of Kerala are public servants. This will create a very far reaching effect on Indian Cricket administration that from now onward anyone can sue against the cricket officials.The Kerala Cricket Association tried to established in the High Court that the Cricket Association is a private body and cannot be tried under The the Prevention of Corruption Act, 1988, which applies only to public servants.

Justice VS Sirpurkar and TS Thakur comprised the bench. The KCA president, TR Balakrishanan, and secretary, TC Matthew filed the appeal against the Kerala High court. But the Bench rejected the appeal and explained that the Kerala cricket board enjoys monopoly on cricket in the state and so does public function. So the cricket body must be tried under the public law. The BCCI is such a body and KCA is a member of it. BCCI is consistently trying to hold that it was a private body.

The original case was filed two years ago in a vigilance court in Kerala by Balaji Iyengar who was, a chartered accountant and former Kerala junior cricketer. He sued against KCA. The vigilance court gave the judgment holding that the cricket bodies are private body. Then the complaint went to high court and won the case. Afterward KCA appealed to Supreme Court.

The complainant, Balaji Iyengar , a chartered accountant and former Kerala junior cricketer, had filed the original complaint against the KCA in the Vigilance Court two years ago. The court ruled in favor of the KCA, saying its officials were not public servants, but Iyengar challenged the ruling in the High Court.
