The boys showed lots of commitment but one bad game made all the difference. We lost to Victoria Bushrangers and that match cost us a semi-final place," Kumble said after the match.<br /> Kumble, who celebrated his 39th birthday yesterday, praised Ross Taylor for the New Zealander's superb innings of 65.<br /> "It's a great birthday present though we were playing for pride. Ross (Taylor) played an exceptional innings to take us to victory. Rahul (Dravid) and (Virat) Kohli chipped in," said Kumble.<br /> "It was great to win before the home crowd who came out in large numbers though were out of semifinal contention before this match.

After all the action, drama and heartbreaks, Lalit Modi’’s brainchild will witness a fairy tale ending.<br /> <br /> <br /> Last years bottom two teams made it to the top two this season, where the Deccan’’s story has many heroes, but none can surpass the contribution made by skipper Adam Gilchrist at the top and the purple cap holder R P Singh.<br /> <br /> As for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, they gave the much surprised twist in the tale in the second semi-final. A victory against the Chennai Super Kings, which will taste even sweeter than the best of wine, brewed by this none other than team owner Vijay Mallya.With a nail-bitter all set to take place, all eyes will be on the star players from both sides.<br /> <br /> For the Deccan Chargers, their strength lies in the explosive opening pair of Adam Gilchrist and Herchelle Gibbs, followed by a gutsy Andrew Symonds and hugely talented Rohit Sharma.<br /> However, the team lacks the depth plus the inconsistency in the bowling department. The purple cap holder R P Singh has been the lone warrior for the Chargers. The team has the opportunity to keep the winning momentum going and shed the tag of underachievers. But, the threat of having lost badly to their opponents on Thursday is still fresh on the minds of the players.<br /> <br /> The Royal Challengers Bangalore, after almost being down and out, scripted one of the most memorable turnarounds under Anil Kumble’’s leadership, which is undoubtedly one of their biggest strengths. However, inconsistency has been the team’’s prime enemy. But the team has an opportunity to prove the critics wrong by making use of Manish Pandey’’s sizzling form and their disciplined bowling attack led by their skipper.<br /> <br /> The team will be a bundle of nerves with expectations rising, and once dubbed to be a Test team will go all out to win this prestigious T20 title.<br /> As per the odds, a resurgent team Bangalore looks better after each outing, but they are not the favourites with the punters. After Gilly’’s flambouyant willow show against the Delhi Daredevils in the first semi-final, the odds tilt towards the Deccan Chargers at 1.80 and Bangalore will have to be content with 2.20.<br /> <br /> The weather, which has been hold and cold in South Africa, is the key factor in today’’s grand finale. With a partly cloudy sky predicted and a minimal chance of rainfall, the blankets will be needed in the dug outs, as the minimum temperature moves a little further down at 6 degrees. <br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Viralink</div><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: small;"><a href="http://wampago.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.adgridwork.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.onlinecashflow.org/">*</a><a href="http://zr5.net/">*</a><a href="http://cashmoneyz.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://funnyjokes4me.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.vi-su.de/">*</a><a href="http://theresabloginmysoup.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.richminx.com/">*</a><a href="http://courtneytuttle.com/">*</a><a href="http://reviewsandpreviews.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://founderscafe.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.anitokid.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.savvyaffiliate.com/Blog">*</a><a href="http://thebrokenbow.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://shiokculture.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://plusultrapics.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://mysilentcuffs.wordpress.com/">*</a><a href="http://tutorialvine.com/">*</a><a href="http://mskzalameda.blogspot.com/">*</a></span><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk/">*</a><a href="http://kabayan-junction.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://ryanshamus.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.technobuzz.net/">*</a><a href="http://gaskinracing.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.linkrambler.org/">*</a><a href="http://www.tobsy.de/">*</a><a href="http://www.alexradich.com/">*</a><a href="http://afterlight.110mb.com/">*</a><a href="http://makemoneywithkassper.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://lasilasi.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://blog.nafurai.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.stephenwelton.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.calvinharvey.com/">*</a><a href="http://jakeldaily.com/">*</a><a href="http://wotzcool.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.andy-coates.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.screenwriterguy.com/">*</a><a href="http://thegreatreich.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://jasonaclark.com/">*</a><a href="http://mayenskie.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://elmoskablogblogan.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://buzzingbell.com/">*</a><a href="http://danielhonigman.com/">*</a><a href="http://miteshasher.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.howtospoter.com/">*</a><a href="http://bloggertrip.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.random-related.com/random/">*</a></div><br /> <br /> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a>Parashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08335288732851635569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788058749759087169.post-20142047482309438772009-05-05T15:21:00.000+05:302009-05-05T15:21:55.508+05:30<div style="text-align: left;">It was expected to be a battle royal but fizzled out like a wet cracker, Chennai Super Kings storming to a 78-run victory over Deccan Chargers at the Buffalo Park here on Monday. The match bucked the trend of great contests that have gone down to the wire and left Mahendra Singh Dhoni a delighted man as his team picked up their third win on the trot and topped the league with nine points.<br /> <br /> Winning the toss and opting to take first strike on a batting track in a small ground, Dhoni and his team piled up a massive 178 for three in 20 overs, the captain himself top-scoring with a half-century that was brilliantly paced. Dhoni’s 58 came off 37 balls (six fours and a six) and ensured that Matthew Hayden’s good work (43 off 26 balls, five fours, three sixes) was made capital of.<br /> <br /> Dhoni promoted himself up the order to No. 3 and finally came to the party with a smart innings, first by playing himself in and then by opening out. Barely a match after he termed his own batting as pathetic, Dhoni was given the man of the match award for his crafty innings. His knock propelled Chennai Super Kings to a wonderful total.<br /> <br /> Chennai Super Kings pitchforked themselves to the top with nine points from eight games while Deccan Chargers, who started off with four wins in a row but have now lost three successive matches, slipped to fourth place with eight points from seven games. Kings XI Punjab (eight points, seven matches) and Delhi Daredevils (eight points, six matches) are in second and third places ahead of Deccan Chargers. </div><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> Viralink</div><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple;

the new ranking assigns Sachin Tendulkar the twenty sixth place in the list of best batsmen that cricket has ever produced. No, it is not a printing error, you got it right; according to ICC ranking, two maestros in international cricket - Sachin Tendulkar and Brian Lara are not among the top twenty Test players. This unique ranking not only stunned the followers of cricket worldwide, it has been considered as a big joke by some of the prominent cricket personalities of the country. <br /> When even Sir Don Bradman picked up Sachin as his torch bearer, then ICC’s decision to keep him out of top ten all-time-great list does not only look odd, it looks funny and it raises question about the logical basis of such estimation. The ex-skipper of India and the Vengsarkar voices his doubts about the authenticity of the method that ICC follows in doling out their ranks for the international cricket players. Chetan Chauhan, one time opener for India also voiced his shock and disagreement, “Anybody who scores 12,000 runs…and not having his name in the all-time great list will surprise not only me but everyone in the fraternity.”<br /> So what has been ICC’s yardstick for preparing this controversial list? Consistency in career and the highest performances in the career of a cricketer have been two major criteria in ICC’s method of ranking. If consistency was a big factor for the selection, how can one down- rate Sachin who has over 12000 runs in test cricket and has a track record that spans over seventeen long years! And so far as the high points in the career of a test cricketer is concerned, Cricket360.com has big doubts whether ICC could differentiate between Sachin’s top performances and ordinary performances. Seems that ICC could not quite figure out the high points of the career of this player, who for the most part of his Test career stayed at the summit.<br /> While ICC’s injustice to Sachin drew huge nationwide criticisms, The Indian cricket board decided to distance itself entirely from this cricket controversy. It maintained that since it is an ICC decision, the BCCI should not make any interference.<br /> It does not matter, whether BCCI officially voices its displeasure over the issue, the rest of the nation seems to fully agree with Chetan Chauhan that “If Sir Don Bradman is number one, and then Sachin should have been number two.”<br /> <br /> </div><br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> Viralink</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> <span style="color: purple;

The 26-year-old top-scored with 118 to lift India out of trouble and to an imposing 292 for nine before denting England's fightback, earning the hosts a 2-0 lead in the seven-game series.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left"><br /> England collapsed to 238 all out after Yuvraj ended a 96-run second-wicket partnership by removing both Owais Shah (58) and Matt Prior (38) in successive overs before returning 4-28 bowling slow left-arm spin on a sluggish pitch. He returned to dismiss Andrew Flintoff (43) and skipper Kevin Pietersen (33) in the same over after their racy 74-run fourth-wicket partnership had kept alive England hopes before they lost four wickets for eight runs.<br /><br />Yuvraj, who stroked 138 not out to set up India's crushing 158-run win in Friday's first contest of the seven-match series, took over after paceman Stuart Broad's triple strike left the hosts reeling at 29 for three. He struck his 10th one-day hundred and raised 134 runs for the fourth wicket with opener Gautam Gambhir, who made 70 for his second fifty of the series. Broad removed Yuvraj to return four for 55 but Yusuf Pathan hammered 50 not out from 29 balls on his 26th birthday to help India regain the initiative.

They get personal when they get beaten. It is all a matter of sour grapes and after going home, they've started calling India a third-world country", Akram told ESPN Mobile from Karachi.<br /> "India is a superpower now; it is a hundred years ahead of Australia, which is no more than a village, as compared to India. You don't blame sightscreens for poor over rates. Even Allan Border was critical of Australian tactics on the pitch," Akram said.<br /> Akram's stinging reaction came a day after the BCCI reacted strongly to Hayden's remark, saying such a comment about India was totally uncalled for from the Australian opener.<br /> Back home after the 2-0 series defeat, Hayden spoke about, what he perceived, poor ground conditions and inordinate delays during the matches "that happen in Third World countries". <br /> </div><div style="text-align: center;">Viralink</div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: small;"><a href="http://wampago.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.adgridwork.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.onlinecashflow.org/">*</a><a href="http://zr5.net/">*</a><a href="http://cashmoneyz.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://funnyjokes4me.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.vi-su.de/">*</a><a href="http://theresabloginmysoup.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.richminx.com/">*</a><a href="http://courtneytuttle.com/">*</a><a href="http://reviewsandpreviews.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://founderscafe.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.anitokid.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.savvyaffiliate.com/Blog">*</a><a href="http://thebrokenbow.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://shiokculture.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://plusultrapics.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://mysilentcuffs.wordpress.com/">*</a><a href="http://tutorialvine.com/">*</a><a href="http://mskzalameda.blogspot.com/">*</a></span><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk/">*</a><a href="http://kabayan-junction.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://ryanshamus.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.technobuzz.net/">*</a><a href="http://gaskinracing.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.linkrambler.org/">*</a><a href="http://www.tobsy.de/">*</a><a href="http://www.alexradich.com/">*</a><a href="http://afterlight.110mb.com/">*</a><a href="http://makemoneywithkassper.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://lasilasi.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://blog.nafurai.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.stephenwelton.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.calvinharvey.com/">*</a><a href="http://jakeldaily.com/">*</a><a href="http://wotzcool.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.andy-coates.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.screenwriterguy.com/">*</a><a href="http://thegreatreich.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://jasonaclark.com/">*</a><a href="http://mayenskie.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://elmoskablogblogan.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://buzzingbell.com/">*</a><a href="http://danielhonigman.com/">*</a><a href="http://miteshasher.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.howtospoter.com/">*</a><a href="http://bloggertrip.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.random-related.com/random/">*</a></div><br /> <br /> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a>Parashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08335288732851635569noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788058749759087169.post-27422985125849029822008-11-01T19:06:00.001+05:302008-11-17T19:14:20.671+05:30<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="center">Indian opener Gautam Gambhir was today banned for a Test match after being found guilty of hitting Australian all-rounder Shane Watson with his elbow during the ongoing third Test. The ban rules him out of the fourth and final Test against Australia starting November 6 in Nagpur. “India opener Gautam Gambhir has received a one Test ban after being found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the third Test against Australia in New Delhi” the ICC said in a statement.<br /><br /><br />Gambhir had elbowed Watson while taking a run on the opening day of the ongoing match after a heated exchange with the Aussie all-rounder. The Indian met match referee Chris Broad this morning before the start of third day’s play where he was informed of the penalty. “The decision to find Gambhir guilty of a level 2 offence is indicative of the fact that any degree of physical contact is unacceptable” the Broad said. The hearing had been adjourned last evening to allow the match referee to review the evidence.<br /><br />The opener pleaded guilty to a charge under Rule C1 of the Code (Level 2) which states that “players shall at all times conduct play within the spirit of the game.” Watson was found guilty of “verbally engaging” with Gambhir “in a manner that was not in keeping with the Spirit of Cricket” and fined 10 percent of his match fee on Thursday.<br /><br />Broad said Gambhir could have been charged under a stronger code according to the rules, but he decided on a lighter sentence as umpires Billy Bowden and Aleem Dar had highlighted the provocation by Watson. “Had Gambhir been charged with and found guilty of a charge under 2.4, due to his previous offence, I would have been obliged to impose a minimum penalty of a two-Test match ban. In the view of the umpires, the facts of this case - the lightness of the physical conduct and the element of provocation - would not justify such a penalty” he added.<br /><br />Broad said Gambhir’s punishment was decided after taking into account his past disciplinary record. “The ICC has repeatedly told the players that deliberate physical contact between players will not be tolerated. I have also taken into account the previous offences of Gambhir and therefore, I am satisfied that the penalty imposed is an appropriate outcome in the circumstances of this matter. I hope Mr Gambhir will learn from this” he said.<br /><br />Present at the hearing was Gambhir himself, Broad, umpires Bowden and Dar, third umpire Suresh Shastri and fourth umpire Sameer Bandekar, India coach Gary Kirsten and captain Anil Kumble. The penalty for a Level 2 offence is a fine of between 50 and 100 percent of the player’s match fee or a maximum ban of one Test match or two ODIs. For Level 2 offences, players have the right to appeal against an adjudicator’s decision within 24 hours of notification of that decision.<br /><br /> Viralink<br /><span style="font-size:small;color:purple;"> <a href="http://wampago.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.adgridwork.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.onlinecashflow.org/">*</a><a href="http://zr5.net/">*</a><a href="http://cashmoneyz.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://funnyjokes4me.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.vi-su.de/">*</a><a href="http://theresabloginmysoup.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.richminx.com/">*</a><a href="http://courtneytuttle.com/">*</a><a href="http://reviewsandpreviews.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://founderscafe.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.anitokid.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.savvyaffiliate.com/Blog">*</a><a href="http://thebrokenbow.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://shiokculture.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://plusultrapics.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://mysilentcuffs.wordpress.com/">*</a><a href="http://tutorialvine.com/">*</a><a href="http://mskzalameda.blogspot.com/">*</a></span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" align="center"> <a href="http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk/">*</a><a href="http://kabayan-junction.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://ryanshamus.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.technobuzz.net/">*</a><a href="http://gaskinracing.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.linkrambler.org/">*</a><a href="http://www.tobsy.de/">*</a><a href="http://www.alexradich.com/">*</a><a href="http://afterlight.110mb.com/">*</a><a href="http://makemoneywithkassper.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://lasilasi.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://blog.nafurai.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.stephenwelton.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.calvinharvey.com/">*</a><a href="http://jakeldaily.com/">*</a><a href="http://wotzcool.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.andy-coates.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.screenwriterguy.com/">*</a><a href="http://thegreatreich.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://jasonaclark.com/">*</a><a href="http://mayenskie.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://elmoskablogblogan.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://buzzingbell.com/">*</a><a href="http://danielhonigman.com/">*</a><a href="http://miteshasher.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.howtospoter.com/">*</a><a href="http://bloggertrip.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.random-related.com/random/">*</a></div><br /><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate">Subscribe in a reader</a>Parashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08335288732851635569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788058749759087169.post-49941683737274983702008-10-30T19:12:00.008+05:302008-10-30T22:37:02.901+05:30<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMrYGWKzNhL3hOxuc133fWHLPej_OUO7gE4NL69VVzcBcd8elWgvbcO1LTHhuee-uiMBvVN_e-esIdWIB0Rfr4OO18qlNgxjp2D7N9dkQxAgp9pBD4TesSojAafW7LITjW5NW0RCAgSwlo/s1600-h/Laxman1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" jf="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh_BgQc5xu9maQoTqftUC5hyphenhyphen03LLGV-bSpYwfTWwIzhezkwZk6ac_jPfijQNRd_s_BGJ9rZaT_lt4GgnWwJRkvJbAqoXCDkNYNiD8-iJrBdO7fvUSGYtNsG7MQTzwbAFtCuElXtx6x3UrZ2/s200-r/Laxman1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;">Record breaking double centuries to <a href="http://beta.cricket.yahoo.com/player-profile/Gautam-Gambhir_3478"><strong><span style="color: #38761d;">Gautam Gambhir</span></strong></a> and<span style="color: #990000;"> </span><a href="http://beta.cricket.yahoo.com/player-profile/VVS-Laxman_1804"><strong><span style="color: #990000;">V.V.S Laxman</span></strong></a> lifted India to a commanding 613 for seven and into control of the third cricket test against Australia.Gambhir and Laxman compiled a mammoth 278-run partnership that left Australia tired, frustrated and wicketless for nearly three sessions.

India won the toss and choose to bat first. The decision to bat first, however, appeared to have boomeranged in the first hour itself with Virender Sehwag (1) and Rahul Dravid (11) cooling their heels in the pavilion.</div><br />India tottering at 27/2, was being stabilized by <a href="http://beta.cricket.yahoo.com/player-profile/Sachin-Tendulkar_2962"><strong>Sachin Tendulkar</strong></a> and Gautam Gambhir. Gautam Gambhir played exceptionally well today. Though two wickets of India were fallen, he showed his temperament and tried to rotate strike with Tendulkar with ones and two's. Tendulkar, however, looked dangerous as he played some extra-ordinary shots through cover. Gambhir and Tendulkar contributed 130 runs partnership for third wicket. Tendulkar was caught in hands of Haddin just before the final over of tea.<br /><br />Gambhir was involved in two century partnerships to stabilise the Indian innings after the loss of two early wickets. He added 130 runs with Sachin Tendulkar(68) for the third wicket , and then 139 with <a href="http://beta.cricket.yahoo.com/player-profile/VVS-Laxman_1804">V.V.S. Laxman</a> (batting 54) for the unfinished fourth-wicket partnership.<br /><br />Talking about Australia bowling, Brett Lee got rid off Sehwag(1) and Bowling only his fourth ball of the match, first change bowler Mitchell Johnson angled it across and Matthew Hayden collected Dravid's ugly poke at ankle height in the first slip, however, they were not effective after early two wickets. Sachin and Gambhir played them comfortably.When the platform was safely constructed, Gambhir clipped balls repeatedly through the leg side. He began to cut and drive through the off-side more readily and capped off an attacking period by clubbing the six to move from 99 to 105. Stuart Clark was the only who controlled Gambhir. Gambhir got just 11 runs from 62 deliveries of Clark.he bowled exceptionally well.<br /><br />In short, It was a bad day for Australia and India dominated completely at the end of first day of third test match.To view scorecard click here.<br /><br />Stats watch:<br /><ol><li><span style="color:red;"><strong>Gautam Gambhir</strong></span> became the <span style="color:#f1c232;"><strong>fourth player</strong></span>, after Michael Vaughan, Daren Ganga, and Shivnarine Chanderpaul to score hundreds in successive Tests against Australia since 2001.</li><li><strong><span style="color:#38761d;">Sachin Tendulkar's</span></strong> 68 was his 90th score of fifty and above in Test cricket, the most for any batsman. <strong><span style="color:#3d85c6;">He equals Allan Border</span></strong> who scored 63 fifties and 27 hundreds.</li><li><strong><span style="color:#741b47;">Sehwag is 1 run away</span></strong> from G.Smith to become highest scorer of the year 2008.<br /></li></ol><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Viralink</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-size:small;color:purple;"><a href="http://wampago.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.adgridwork.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.onlinecashflow.org/">*</a><a href="http://zr5.net/">*</a><a href="http://cashmoneyz.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://funnyjokes4me.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.vi-su.de/">*</a><a href="http://theresabloginmysoup.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.richminx.com/">*</a><a href="http://courtneytuttle.com/">*</a><a href="http://reviewsandpreviews.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://founderscafe.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.anitokid.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.savvyaffiliate.com/Blog">*</a><a href="http://thebrokenbow.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://shiokculture.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://plusultrapics.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://mysilentcuffs.wordpress.com/">*</a><a href="http://tutorialvine.com/">*</a><a href="http://mskzalameda.blogspot.com/">*</a></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk/">*</a><a href="http://kabayan-junction.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://ryanshamus.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.technobuzz.net/">*</a><a href="http://gaskinracing.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.linkrambler.org/">*</a><a href="http://www.tobsy.de/">*</a><a href="http://www.alexradich.com/">*</a><a href="http://afterlight.110mb.com/">*</a><a href="http://makemoneywithkassper.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://lasilasi.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://blog.nafurai.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.stephenwelton.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.calvinharvey.com/">*</a><a href="http://jakeldaily.com/">*</a><a href="http://wotzcool.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.andy-coates.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.screenwriterguy.com/">*</a><a href="http://thegreatreich.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://jasonaclark.com/">*</a><a href="http://mayenskie.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://elmoskablogblogan.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://buzzingbell.com/">*</a><a href="http://danielhonigman.com/">*</a><a href="http://miteshasher.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.howtospoter.com/">*</a><a href="http://bloggertrip.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.random-related.com/random/">*</a></div><br /><br /><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px;

He said the conversation with Tendulkar has left him a relieved man.</div>"There were headlines around the cricketing globe on Friday suggesting that I had accused Indian batting great Sachin Tendulkar of being a bad sport and also that he had lied when giving evidence in the Harbhajan Singh racial villification hearing earlier this year.<br /> "Neither of these accusations are true and I felt strongly enough on this to immediately ring Sachin once it was brought to my attention, to explain to him. I am pleased to say that at the conclusion of our chat, the same respect Sachin and I have always had for each other continues to exist," Gilchrist said.<br /> Rattled by the furore that has virtually turned into a backlash in India ever since the controversial excerpts came out, Gilchrist said a couple of sentences from an entire chapter were used to script a sensational story.<br /> "The headlines arose from the manner in which some journalists interpreted a couple of points I have made in an about-to-be released autobiography," he said<br /> <br /> &nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: center;">Viralink</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: center;"><br /> <span style="color: purple; font-size: small;"><a href="http://wampago.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.adgridwork.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.onlinecashflow.org/">*</a><a href="http://zr5.net/">*</a><a href="http://cashmoneyz.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://funnyjokes4me.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.vi-su.de/">*</a><a href="http://theresabloginmysoup.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.richminx.com/">*</a><a href="http://courtneytuttle.com/">*</a><a href="http://reviewsandpreviews.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://founderscafe.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.anitokid.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.savvyaffiliate.com/Blog">*</a><a href="http://thebrokenbow.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://shiokculture.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://plusultrapics.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://mysilentcuffs.wordpress.com/">*</a><a href="http://tutorialvine.com/">*</a><a href="http://mskzalameda.blogspot.com/">*</a></span><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk/">*</a><a href="http://kabayan-junction.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://ryanshamus.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.technobuzz.net/">*</a><a href="http://gaskinracing.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.linkrambler.org/">*</a><a href="http://www.tobsy.de/">*</a><a href="http://www.alexradich.com/">*</a><a href="http://afterlight.110mb.com/">*</a><a href="http://makemoneywithkassper.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://lasilasi.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://blog.nafurai.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.stephenwelton.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.calvinharvey.com/">*</a><a href="http://jakeldaily.com/">*</a><a href="http://wotzcool.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.andy-coates.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.screenwriterguy.com/">*</a><a href="http://thegreatreich.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://jasonaclark.com/">*</a><a href="http://mayenskie.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://elmoskablogblogan.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://buzzingbell.com/">*</a><a href="http://danielhonigman.com/">*</a><a href="http://miteshasher.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.howtospoter.com/">*</a><a href="http://bloggertrip.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.random-related.com/random/">*</a></div><br /> <br /> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a>Parashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08335288732851635569noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788058749759087169.post-26643626962642734512008-10-21T18:43:00.001+05:302008-10-21T19:36:03.425+05:30<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguhGqjMhw-UFEBCXykrnMFxQpyb-XcZ-6TY_UcNsgjN0c3otUQ7hMd9n3ajEcmzgKzxrMAi1hI-bim9QlVdsFad3zFU7MdZhHhIUPOjkeM-so1PVxfRgmkjY15ZyAnhg3uvR09srYPJHH2/s1600-h/Z_Khan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0nNXa4jNxFg7FQ9P223i2kGU3c_OtvqMzzR0MaqoUMeadYiMezJnKPRTSiBb8wKFC6uKTUG4LBlDulrCvdFoxupnkJc9iSR-lw8ooxtkLJoO1FNLybgWTmENMccvGN3qcy5v0LOgCNbqB/s320-r/Z_Khan.jpg" xd="true" /></a>It was a match that was never out of India's control. After the tremendous work done over four days, they needed less than a session on the fifth morning to defeat Australia, sealing the Test by 320 runs, their biggest margin of victory in terms of runs ever. Zaheer Khan nipped out three wickets in the space of four deliveries when play started, and though Michael Clarke resisted with 69, it was always going to be a matter of when India would take a 1-0 series lead. In terms of runs, it was Australia's biggest defeat since their 343-run loss to West Indies in Barbados in 1991. </div>India had reduced Australia to 58 for 5 yesterday, but had to wait 84 runs for their next strike, after which proceedings resembled a bowling alley as Zaheer knocked over the lower order like nine pins. Zaheer was simply unplayable. He struck in the first over of the day, bowling Brad Haddin for 37 with a ripper. It pitched on a length, shaped back in, and took out the middle and off stumps. In his next over, Zaheer struck with his second and third deliveries and found himself on a hat-trick. A leaden-footed Cameron White went for a drive and edged to Mahendra Singh Dhoni. Next ball, Brett Lee had no clue to one pitched fractionally shorter and had his stumps splayed. Three wickets had fallen for three runs. <br /> <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">With nine men around the bat, Mitchell Johnson averted the hat-trick. Zaheer had slowly built up his momentum through the fourth day and struck gold on the fifth morning. He got the ball to move slightly away from the batsmen, and was very accurate. Ishant Sharma achieved movement both ways, evident when Clarke outside-edged towards slip - the ball didn't carry - and later inside-edged towards square leg. </div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ185Qa5IVlRBLRJS7w3oXrznLbE-IpPrBSxgI7Hyhj4fr8BQul8M9IZXO6ZCI0NmlMcmghuMGjVxrKjY3MDZ2hS9_vFAKcYHGp-kCLRy1Q34R-EeYMbUNjKC0LssyJ15Ah76KEUbnLRFe/s1600-h/Dhoni.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgN5XopUeyj4G9cu7LuS8T4tjMg6pZiQYpaeWOcD1Q5q22WkvoJOxQb_6xJMqcsxYwMWyItPDfD22IOB6ye0niDQYtrzZ_iPmEZFVbzBDgb6QheLJh8wXbgGC0Da-L909E_S8e93Jgrkq-g/s320-r/Dhoni.jpg" xd="true" /></a>Perhaps significant with two Tests to play, Clarke shrugged off an indifferent tour with a fluent 69. On a pitch with good movement and against bowlers who were on song, he batted with focus and determination. He and Johnson, who batted well for his 26 before popping a return catch to Amit Mishra, added 50. Clarke had been the glue that held a poor Australian innings together, but he was last out when he clipped Mishra - who finished with seven on debut - to midwicket. As the fat lady sang and Punjabi bhangra filled the Mohali air, Dhoni - India's stand-in captain who rarely made a wrong call through the Test - led the charge towards the catcher, Virender Sehwag. </div>Teams that have a habit of winning know how to seize the momentum and never let it go. Like Australia had done for the last decade and more, India did that very well in Mohali.

The hosts were placed at 177-4 when the officials decided to call the match off. The experienced middle-order batting line-up saved the Test with gritty, determined and a resolute show. Tendulkar (49) looked very compact today while Laxman (42*) also applied himself very well. The tourists tried everything as spinners Cameron White and Michael Clarke did bulk of the bowling. Remember it was the last time when you saw Ganguly and Kumble playing a Test match at Bangalore.<br /><br />The Indian camp has plenty of thinking to do as their skipper Anil Kumble lacked fitness and looked below par with the ball. The hosts' batting line-up also looked fragile in the first innings but made it up with a fighting show in the second. Australia displayed excellent discipline and game-plan during the match. But lacking a quality spinner is still their weakness in this series.<br /><br />Five days on a cracking pitch could not separate Australia and India, who will head to Mohali for Friday's second Test at 0-0 after playing out a draw in Bangalore. VVS Laxman and Sachin Tendulkar helped grind out the result - or lack of - which was a pleasing outcome for India after Australia dominated the first couple of days.<br /><br /><br />Zaheer Khan was adjudged the Man of the Match for his excellent performance with the bat as well as the ball. Despite the draw, it was a fascinating Test match to watch. please join me back on the 17th of this month for the second Test at Mohali. Till then Bye!!!!<br /> <br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center">Viralink<br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center"><span style="font-size:small;color:purple;"><a href="http://wampago.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.adgridwork.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.onlinecashflow.org/">*</a><a href="http://zr5.net/">*</a><a href="http://cashmoneyz.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://funnyjokes4me.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.vi-su.de/">*</a><a href="http://theresabloginmysoup.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.richminx.com/">*</a><a href="http://courtneytuttle.com/">*</a><a href="http://reviewsandpreviews.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://founderscafe.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.anitokid.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.savvyaffiliate.com/Blog">*</a><a href="http://thebrokenbow.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://shiokculture.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://plusultrapics.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://mysilentcuffs.wordpress.com/">*</a><a href="http://tutorialvine.com/">*</a><a href="http://mskzalameda.blogspot.com/">*</a></span><br /><br /><a href="http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk/">*</a><a href="http://kabayan-junction.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://ryanshamus.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.technobuzz.net/">*</a><a href="http://gaskinracing.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.linkrambler.org/">*</a><a href="http://www.tobsy.de/">*</a><a href="http://www.alexradich.com/">*</a><a href="http://afterlight.110mb.com/">*</a><a href="http://makemoneywithkassper.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://lasilasi.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://blog.nafurai.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.stephenwelton.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.calvinharvey.com/">*</a><a href="http://jakeldaily.com/">*</a><a href="http://wotzcool.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.andy-coates.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.screenwriterguy.com/">*</a><a href="http://thegreatreich.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://jasonaclark.com/">*</a><a href="http://mayenskie.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://elmoskablogblogan.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://buzzingbell.com/">*</a><a href="http://danielhonigman.com/">*</a><a href="http://miteshasher.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.howtospoter.com/">*</a><a href="http://bloggertrip.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.random-related.com/random/">*</a><br /></div><br /><br /><br /><script type="text/javascript">addthis_pub = 'YOUR-ACCOUNT-ID';</script><a onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php"><img height="16" alt="" src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" width="125" border="0" /></a><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; VERTICAL-ALIGN: middle; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" /></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate">Subscribe in a reader</a>Parashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08335288732851635569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1788058749759087169.post-20771506350506071942008-10-13T19:15:00.000+05:302008-10-13T20:13:47.451+05:30<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu_aqPrSFnGONqD8zKnWTBAHxQ9z5BoUx2sc5zgwrrFtH65Buro76CIQvRx-tXQyVWSUBXQlMXRE2E8aWwyU6fzT0Gr7-IJqT95Y0ddnZo0aaCIROPaKePREBtp9KoYJdjzYsJjJRAf2R4/s1600-h/Z_Khan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdeKKnJgvGQt6o30FMRkLc_qZdL0ORt8s2iZeAXqAzymZcHPvUV15vQEN4Syk0sWprBcNGtk41gZ2XmgkWSTHsahn1zgnEVBr-ATqCDUPcKEcOcIj5DGDXOLiXtZuuoXrUA7sdXaZhrYNY/s400-r/Z_Khan.jpg" xd="true" /></a>Australia's cricket on the fourth day was not pretty but the final result - a 263-run lead - was a fine outcome on a day when India harassed them intensely in all aspects of the game. Led by Zaheer Khan with the bat in the morning and Harbhajan Singh with the ball in the afternoon, India fought and thought, tested and pestered, and still somehow found themselves facing a tough final-day chase. At least they shortened the odds of a draw. </div><div style="text-align: left;">&nbsp;</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ponting was targeted by Harbhajan with men crowded around the bat and despite a couple of edgy moments he survived - at least long enough to fall to his other developing nemesis, Ishant Sharma. Ishant tried to lure Ponting with the offspinning slower ball that had earned him two first-innings wickets but Australia's captain was alert to the ploy. However, with the next delivery Ishant tried a different style slower ball - he simply didn't roll his arm over as quickly - and Ponting, on 17, obligingly prodded to the short midwicket placed for that purpose. <br /> <br /> Ishant's more conventional slower one did account for Michael Clarke, who nudged a drive to short cover just as Haddin and Cameron White had done on day two. That India's fast men succeeded might have buoyed Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson, who watched on as Matthew Hayden battled extravagant swing from Zaheer and was trapped lbw for 13. <br /> <br /> Hard as it was for Hayden and friends, the 70-run first-innings advantage Australia had secured was vital. It could have been so much greater but for terrific lower-order resistance from Zaheer and his bowling mates. After Harbhajan started the batting fightback late on the third afternoon, Zaheer continued it on the fourth morning. His unbeaten 57 was his second Test half-century - his first had come against Bangladesh - and he combined in useful partnerships of 31 with Kumble and 27 with Ishant. Following India's top-order struggles, it was a magnificent result for their final three pairs to add 128 of the team's 360. <br /> <br /> They batted for nearly an hour and a half in the first session, grinding out 47 valuable runs that frustrated an Australia attack that had been on top for most of the previous day. Zaheer played in a more restrained fashion than on Saturday and justified his promotion ahead of Kumble, who gave him an appreciative hug when Zaheer's fifty came up with a clip behind square leg for two off Johnson. <br /> <br /> Eventually Australia finished the job. Watson ended up with 3 for 45 when he jagged one back to trap Kumble in front and Clarke bowled Ishant to secure his second wicket. But the successes were a long way apart. Australia must significantly shorten the gap between their celebrations on the final day if they are to avoid a disappointing result. <br /> <br /> Zaheer Khan, who took 5 for 91 and made an unbeaten 57, is the first Indian in almost ten years to capture five wickets in an innings and score a half-century in the same match against an opposition other than Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Thirteen Indians have accomplished this feat, with Kapil Dev having done so on four occasions. <br /> <br /> <br /> Australia conceded 52 extras, their highest ever. This was the tenth occasion a team gave away 50 or more extras in an innings in India. India holds the record with 76 against Pakistan in Bangalore in 2007. <br /> <br /> </div><center>&nbsp;</center><center>Viralink</center><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: purple; font-size: small;"><a href="http://wampago.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.adgridwork.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.onlinecashflow.org/">*</a><a href="http://zr5.net/">*</a><a href="http://cashmoneyz.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://funnyjokes4me.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.vi-su.de/">*</a><a href="http://theresabloginmysoup.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.richminx.com/">*</a><a href="http://courtneytuttle.com/">*</a><a href="http://reviewsandpreviews.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://founderscafe.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.anitokid.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.savvyaffiliate.com/Blog">*</a><a href="http://thebrokenbow.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://shiokculture.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://plusultrapics.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://mysilentcuffs.wordpress.com/">*</a><a href="http://tutorialvine.com/">*</a><a href="http://mskzalameda.blogspot.com/">*</a></span><br /> <br /> <a href="http://www.photoshoptutorials.dk/">*</a><a href="http://kabayan-junction.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://ryanshamus.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.technobuzz.net/">*</a><a href="http://gaskinracing.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.thethinkingblog.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.linkrambler.org/">*</a><a href="http://www.tobsy.de/">*</a><a href="http://www.alexradich.com/">*</a><a href="http://afterlight.110mb.com/">*</a><a href="http://makemoneywithkassper.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://lasilasi.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://blog.nafurai.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.stephenwelton.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.calvinharvey.com/">*</a><a href="http://jakeldaily.com/">*</a><a href="http://wotzcool.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.fanaticspace.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.andy-coates.com/blog">*</a><a href="http://www.screenwriterguy.com/">*</a><a href="http://thegreatreich.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://jasonaclark.com/">*</a><a href="http://mayenskie.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://elmoskablogblogan.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://buzzingbell.com/">*</a><a href="http://danielhonigman.com/">*</a><a href="http://miteshasher.blogspot.com/">*</a><a href="http://www.howtospoter.com/">*</a>***<a href="http://bloggertrip.com/">*</a>**<a href="http://www.random-related.com/random/">*</a>*<br /> <br /> **</div><br /> <br /> <br /> <script type="text/javascript"> addthis_pub = 'YOUR-ACCOUNT-ID'; </script><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="return addthis_sendto()" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[URL]', '[TITLE]')"><img alt="" border="0" height="16" src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif" width="125" /></a><script src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js" type="text/javascript"> </script> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img alt="" src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-top: 0px; vertical-align: middle;" /></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/getTheNewsOfCricketRightHere" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a>Parashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08335288732851635569noreply@blogger.com0
