The Adverse Sixth Jupiter is creating problems for Cancerians - for India ! India's GDP growth has slowed down, oil price has gone up, industrial production is down, manufacturing is down, inflation is up, stock market is down, deficit and debt has gone up and there is a deceleration in the economy. Jupiter will move over to Capricorn on Dec 9th and till that time the outlook is gloomy. At the moment Realty is not affected, but may be at a later date. Only in cricket is India doing well. As for myself ( I am a Cancerian ), my enemies are playing havoc, physical problems like digestive tract disorders and a general lack of peace ! I am waiting for Dec 9 th !

Brett Lee celebrates another English wicket A combination of Shane Warne and Australia's fast bowlers brought England crashing to defeat in the second Test in Adelaide. One bowling weapon that aided their cause was the same one used so effectively by England 18 months ago. This time, Brett Lee found reverse swing in the heat of south Australia. But what is swing? And more to the point - what is reverse swing and how can certain bowlers harness it so potently? We explain the theories. WHAT IS SWING? The cricket ball often moves in the air towards or away from a batsman when a pace bowler is bowling. It is this deviation most fast bowlers strive for because of the problems it causes batsmen. Swing is all about aerodynamics, more of which is explained in the next section. Batsmen are used to facing orthodox swing - which happens when the ball is still relatively hard and new in the first 10 to 15 overs. However, over the past 20 years fast bowlers have developed a new method of making...

Rahul Dravid became the third Indian and the sixth player to score 10000 Test runs ! He continues to be the No 1 Test batsman, says Sreenath. The innings he played today was a character innings, in a day dominated by the Springboks. He holds the world record for being involved in 72 century partnerships ! Veeru perished in the slips, but only after he had scored 319! These are the records set up yesterday 1 The fastest 300, off only 278 balls 2 In 503 minutes, 41 fours, 5 sixes. 3 The third batsman to score triple twice, after Bradman & Lara 4 The first triple against two different countries. 5 The first opening batsman to score two triples 6 The highest score in India and in Chepauk 7 Of the 8 200 odd partnerships, Sehwag figure in four 8 His 14th hundred, and third against RSA 9 The fastest double hundred against RSA, off 194 balls! 10 The first Indian batsman to score a double agains RSA 11 The highest score by an Indian batsman ( 257 ) 12 The highest opening partnership at Chep...

The entire Chennai stadium erupted with joy as Sehwag scored the fastest triple century ever. Sehwag blasted 42 fours and 5 sixes in an incredible batting display, scoring 257 runs in a day, out of 384 runs scored by his team ! His 309 not out today is considered better than his 309 at Multan. On the first day, he was then 228 not out. Today he scored 257 runs ! His captain had told him to bat responsibly til the end and he did oblige Kumble ! At lunch he was 110 and at tea he was 218, scoring a century during the post lunch session, off only 67 balls. . He said it hurt when he was out of the team. He had worked hard and Kumble's advice was very apt. Some of his shots were described by the commentator Rameez Raja as " lazy elegance " 300 off 278 balls ! The fastest 300 ball-wise! He plays a Test match like a T20! He became the third batsman to score a triple hundred twice, after Lara and Bradman ! What a glorious day for Indian cricket! India 468/1 ! India has becom...

India at the moment are 176/0, with Sehwag on 110 and Jaffer on 60 ! This is a good reply to RSA's 540. ICL will be staging international matches with an Indian XI, Pakistan XI, England XI etc , said their spokesman Modi. Another Modi, of IPL, said that IPL had already raked in 2 billion dollars, without a ball being bowled. Sponsors are coming to them with higher rates, as well as adverisers. Anything will click in India, a cricket mania country. Well, the business of sports, or rather the business of cricket is really taking off !

Sehwag scored 52 not out out of 82/0. The six he blasted was worth going miles to see. Indian fielding was shoddy and conceded 81 boundaries to the South Africans. Amla scored a brilliant 159 and Boucher 70, along with McKenzie 94 and Smith 73. So on the placid Chennai track, a batting paradise, we are yet to see records ? Will there be Indian records tomorrow? Let us wait and see. It is time for India's formidable batting line up to click tomorrow. SL beat the WIs comprehensively. In ICL matches, to match Sharukh Khan, Mithun Chakrvarthy has taken over the Kolkotta Tigers. Rechristened Bengal Royal Tigers, Mithun is posing a big challenge. So far ICL is put under pressure by BCCI. But no more !

November 24, 2006 19:47 IST South African great Gary Kirsten has identified technical flaws in Indian batsmen and advised them to work on their defensive tactics if they were to succeed in the remaining part of their tour. The former opening batsman said the Indians tend to play away from their body on faster pitches rather than showing the courage to get behind the rising delivery. "They were not quite there on the off-stump and it's a failing which usually causes the downfall of most opposition batsmen on South African pitches," said Kirsten. "But for Australia, nobody seems to get it right here." Kirsten is the highest run-scorer ever for South Africa in Tests and this is well-reflected in figures -- in 101 Tests he scored 7289 runs at an average of 45.27 with 21 centuries. Kirsten said the problem with the Indian batsmen is that they did not try to get behind the line of the ball. "Most of them don't get behind the line of the ball. One of the thing...

England lead by 487 runs! Andrew Strauss scores century. It seems England is taking revenge on the Kiwis. Ryan Sidebottom swung them out for 168 (7/47). Jayawardhene scored a century as SL consolidated their position against West Indies. Graeme Smith admitted that the series against India will be tough. RSA is fully confident. And so is India. Both India and RSA have scored substantial triumphs of late. So a royal battle is in the offing. We can play in the subcontinent well. This is proved by our experiences in Bangladesh and Pakistan. Confonting India is the greatest challenge. Our fast bowlers have the ability to bowl out the world class Indian batsmen. Ntini, Morke, Steyn & Sondesky are class bowlers. They can shine in India as well. Also spinners Paul Harris & Petersen. The players have been rattled by the recent changes in the team. But we are professionals and can overcome any crisis. Andre Nel was sacked and Langveld was taken. This created a crisis. This was part of th...

"Our fast bowlers - Ntini, Steyn, Morkel etc - can take 20 Indian wickets and we can win the series" warned Smith, the RSA captain.But beating India in India, he said, is difficult. Kumble said the series will be tough. All eyes will be glued to the TV, from 26th onwards. In Guyana, Malinda Warnapura scored a century against the West Indies. Vandort, the other lefthander was out for 52. In the other Test Match at Napier, Kevin Petersen scored a brilliant 128. He was supported by Stuart Broad . Indian Cricket is a financial success, but not a cricketing success, says Harsha Bhogle. The adrevenue coming from an ODI is around 150 crores, which makes the match financially viable. Gate collection may be around 5 crores. With 300 million cricket fanatics watching everywhere, even ICL and IPL will click, let alone the Test matches and ODIs. But India has been rated as the second best team in the world. She has to move to No 1 spot in order to be a cricketing success. Dhoni wants to...

After Australia, India is the second team in the world, in Tests! Now India takes on formidable RSA ! ICL stars are banned from playing county cricket. Wavell Hinds, Andrew Hall, Van der Werth, Kemp,Hamish Marshall - all these have been banned. This has put County Cricket Board in jeopardy. The reason - ICL has no official recognition from ICC. The English Cricket Board decreed so. Nottinghamshare and Derbyshire are already suffering. Hall and Van der Werth are Nottingham players and Hinds Derbyshire. Now Sachin has 11782 runs in Tests and needs only 172 runs to overpass Lara's record. Many believe this is possible and are glued to their TV sets. Dhoni and Bajji have been declared fit and both teams are in Chennai today. Torrential rain poses a big problem to the Test match. The WI - Lanka Test series starts today at Guyana. The third Test is already on at Napier, between England and NZ. Both share honours at 1-1. Now England is 230/7. Kevin Petersen scored 129. The Cricket war hot...

Dhoni's controversial remarks about the Seniors have created a furore. Many have opined that his remarks are strange. In the ICL match, Chennai Superstars scored 9 per over and triumphed over Delhi Giants. Bevan showed what can be done with the bat, scoring 22 runs off 9 balls! R Satish, the captain, scored a brilliant 60 odd and Russell Arnold 40 odd.

As Yadav bowled magnificently to claim 4 for 14, R Patil of Mumbai scored 65 not out of 40 balls to bring home the bacon for Mumbai. Ahmedabad Rockets could only muster 132, though they started well with Hinds and Dholpure. But they had no answer to Yadav's spin. Mumbai is now up in the table.

Indian Cricket is at its Zenith, with the T20 WC, U19 WC and after beating the World Champiions in their den in the ODIs. A great cricketing war is in the offing, as Dravid's Bangalore Royal Champions, Ganguly's Kolkotta Knight Riders & Sehwag's Delhi put on the warrior's clothes in IPL. In ICL, we have a parallel League. The ICL matches have clicked. They are scheduled at peak TV Time, at 1900 to 2200 hrs, when people are glued to their TV sets.

Chennai chasing Calcutta's 185 responded with Ian Harvey blasting 49 off 30 odd balls, till 19 year old Pritam Das sent Harvey's off stump cartwheeling with a magnificent delivery. In came Russel Arnold and he stroked his way through. The final situation was macabre - 4 runs needed off 2 balls and Arnold swung Chennai to victory with a four off the penultimate ball ! So thrilling ICL matches. In the offing are thrilling IPL matches. Earlier, Craig ...

A swashbuckling innings by Arnold ( 66 not out in 40 balls ) saw Chennai Superstars home. Kolkota Tigers batted first and Craig McMillan played a great innings of 69, followed by A Jhunjhunwalla ( 50 n o ) and a cameo from Rohan Gavaskar ( 23 n o out of 8 balls ). Score well over 9 per over at 185 ! Ian Harvey started the proceedings for Chennai with a hefty 49. He was removed by a super ball from Pritam Das, which toppled his offstump. Then Arnold took over and single handedly won the match ! Chennai now moves up. She was down as the 8th. Lahore is still on the first position

Sidebottom took 5 wickets and England took revenge on the Kiwis. The Kiwis were all out for 311. England won by 126 runs. Indian Squad for first two Tests The Indian squad for the first two Tests against RSA has been named.Ishant Sharma, the new pace bowling sensation, is ruled out of the first Test. Here they are Anil Kumble, Virender Sehwag, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, VVS Laxman, Rahul Dravid, Wasim Jaffer, M S Dhoni, Yuvraj Singh, Irfan Pathan, Harbhajan Singh, Murali Karthik, RP Singh, Sreesanth.

Today is the day of selection of the Test team, to play against mighty RSA ! Well. many in the Selection Committee wants to bring changes to the team, to infuse young blood ! The Awesome Fivesome ( Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly, Laxman, Sehwag ) will be there most probably, along with Yuvraj. Can we call them the Splendid Six ? Kumble's Knights and Dhoni's Dashers ( for ODIs & T 20s )- they are what the Doctor ordered. When Knights play, the Dashers get rest. When Dashers play, the Knights get rest. This cycling of Dashers and Knights have paved the way for India's famous victory ! India cannot take risks while confronting the formidable South Africans. Smith has moved to No 1 spot, overtaking Sachin and Ricky. ( But his latest runs were against Bangladesh ! ). Smith, Gibbs and Dale Steyn are dangerous from an Indian perspective. The Indian swing bowlers, led by Ishant Sharma, are dangerous from a Sprinbok perspective ! May the better team win !

Farhat drove, cut, swung and pulled Lahore to victory over Chandigarh Lions. 8 sixes and four fours flowed from his bat ( 94). The Lions proved to be too feeble, when confronting the mighty Lahore side ! Despite D Mongia's 34, Lions lost the battle ! It is exhilarating to know that Alternative Cricket, like Alternative Culture & Alternative Medicine, have come to stay.

At 52/3, in walked Justin Kemp, to partner the solid Nicke Boje. With 4 sixes and 6 fours, Kemp was 66 not out, out of 42 balls and Hyd had won the match. This innings was worth going miles to see. What a tournaround ! Indian Cricket Board is giving aid to Weightlifting, swimming, archery etc. ICL is here to stay and can be a formidable rival to IPL. The players who have fallen out of favour with the national selectors, like Kemp, Gillespie, Sunil Joshi, Bevan etc have got an alternative. This Alternative Cricket is like Alternative Religion, Alternative Culture and Alternative Health !

Indian swing bowlers bowled more than 200 odd overs in Australia and many are suffering from injuries. Ishant, Zaheer, Pathan, Sreeshant and batsmen Yuvraj and Sachin. Now they are getting the much needed 20 day rest, before they take on mighty RSA. Indians have a tight schedule afterwards, playing in the IP League and in other matches. Cricket has become a big industry in India, next only to Bollywood. So much money is circulating in IPL and ICL and this is a great opportunity for youngsters to showcase their talent. Not only for Indians, but for all cricketers !

With Inzy and Imran Nazir as batsmen, with Azhar Mehmood, Sami and Saqlain as bowlers, Lahore is a great side indeed. The way they beat Hyderabad yesterday was effortless. Let us see if any other team can match them in performance.

Those players who have been ignored by the selectors now get a chance to showcase their talent, that too before 300 million cricket fanatics who watch all ICL matches on satellite TV !

England managed 291/5, thanks to a great innings from the wicket keeper, Tim Ambrose ( 91 n o ) Alistiar Cook and Vaughn put on 79 for the first wicket. But the day belonged to Ambrose. In the South African team to tour, six non-whites have been picked. Andre Nil and Botha have been excluded. Jayasuria and Murali have been omitted from the SL ODI XI, now touring West Indies. The Bangalore team was announced yesterday. Nicknamed the Bangalore Royal Champions, the team is skippered by Rahul Dravid. Chanderpaul, Misbah, Ross Taylor, Virat Kohli, Wasim Jaffer, Jagdish Arun Kumar and Bharat Chipli adorn Bangalore. Dayle Stein of SA, Nathan Bracken, Anil Kumble, Sunil Joshi, Abdul Razzak, Zaheer, Praveen Kumar are the bowlers. The team is graced by allrounders Jack Kallis, Cameroon White and Vinay Kumar. Wicket keepers are Boucher, Goswami & Devraj Patil. V Prasad is the coach and Martin Crowe is the CCO, the Chief Cricket Offier ! A formidable team indeed ! The team is owned by Vijay Ma...

Daridra Yoga is generated when the Eleventh lord is in malefic houses, viz, 6,8 & 12. This is a negative yoga. The native's wealth will be affected.

Rather than seeing the same players for 20 years or so, we are now provided with an alternative option - of watching other talented cricketers, who have fallen out of favour with the national selectors ! We have been seeing some cricketers for 20 years or so and many young talented players have not just got into the national side ! Yesterday Rohan Gavaskar's batting was a revealation, as was his fielding. Bevan impressed with his 56. Hemang Badani with his 30. Raviraj Patel with his blisteing 52 out of 32 balls. Inzy powered Lahore to victory. Adams' two sixes in the last over was a revealation, as was his three wickets. Again Craig McMillan's experience showed as he guided the Tigers to victory. Jason Gillespie and Shane Bond impressed. We envisage in the near future an IPL World XI vs ICL World XI. Let their differences be sorted out on cricket pitches !

Kolkotta wins by 2 runs in an exciting match. Rohan Gavaskar impressed with 41 not out, out of 36 balls. He was instrumental in a run out and he got a catch as well. He did have a good match. Raviraj Patil impressed with 52 off 32 balls. Looks a nice prospect. Craig McMillan kept his cool and it was Nantie's turn to bowl Kokotta to victory. He took 2/17. So this rebel series is turning out to be thrilling indeed !

January 25, 2008 – 1:04 am The high-profile Indian Premier League on Thursday received overwhelming response as India’s top industrialists Mukesh Ambani and Vijay Mallya, and film stars Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta won bids to own teams in the Twenty20 venture. After much suspense, Board of Control for Cricket in India vice-president and IPL governing council chairman Lalit Modi named the winning bidders, who shelled out staggering amounts to become owners of the Mumbai-based teams. Reliance Industries chief Mukesh Ambani pipped Vijay Mallya in the bid for the Mumbai team, for US $111.9 million. The liquor baron, however, won the bid for the Bangalore team, for US $111.6 million.

Franchise owners spent lavishly in a player auction Wednesday for the new Indian Premier League, with India’s Mahendra Singh Dhoni topping the bidding on a day that demonstrated the enormous financial power of the Twenty20 competition.Bidding for the 77 available players reached about $40 million - pending late bids at Wednesday’s auction - and followed on from the $1.026 billion paid for the initial television rights and $723.6 million for franchise ownership. Chennai trumped Mumbai in the race for India’s limited-overs captain Dhoni, with all team owners cheering the breaking of the $1 million mark as the southern Indian team landed him on a three-year contract worth $1.5 million or €1.02 million per season. Dhoni, currently leading India in the limited-overs tri-series in Australia, was relaxed about being the most sought player for the league which begins April 18. “I heard about it from my manager soon after the bid was held. The sum seems to be good and I’m happy, but I was never...

When Thiru Kumaran reduced Lahore to 32/3, nobody thought Lahore had a chance ! In walked Inzy ! He engineered a turnaround and Lahore triumphed home ! What a glorious win!

Ganguly's team is called Calcutta Knight Riders ! More vintage cricket in the offing and the IPL series will be on from Apr 18. ICL series ends on April 7. The very champagne of cricket !

Written by Sharad Chikara Tuesday, 18 September 2007 Ever since the launch of IPL last week by BCCI one wonders if the latter was just a knee jerk reaction to ICL or was conceived for the benefit of the game. Indian Cricket League's (ICL) goal is create enthusiasm amongst the budding cricketers, carry that enthusiasm and momentum in the Sachins’ of tomorrow and give the domestic cricketers a chance to showcase their talent. On the other hand IPL's launch last seemed to be a "me too" by bureaucrats who have dominated the game more than the game itself. Apparently the BCCI league had been conceptualized about 10 years ago but had recently been finalized. I think I can assume with reasonable comfort that ICL's announcement early part of this year expedited IPL by good couple of years. BCCI top honcho believed just a couple of months ago that a Twenty20 league format (referring to ICL) would serve no good to the game of cricket. And it is rather ironic that...

DCA gave 2.5 lakhs to the Delhi boys, Virat Kohli, Sangwan of U19 and Gautam Gambhir, Ishant Sharma and Sehwag ! Each member of the victorious team got 58 lakhs. More money is in the offing as the contracts of the players like Ishant Sharma, Praveen Kumar ...

A cricket enthusiast writes from Bangkok Another master class, perhaps his final one on Australian soil,from the Little Master, inspired leadership from Dhoni and great bowling spells from the Indians, saw Australia humbled in their own backyard.To many Indians this is a great victory. To me, it has been India's greatest cricketting summer. Or greatest six cricketing months in it history ! And perhaps the emergence of the next cricketting superpower and the begginning of a crickting decline of another proud nation! For the 17th time, Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar missed an ODI century by less than 10 runs and failed to add to his 42 scores above the hunderd mark. If his 117 not out at Sydney,was perhaps one of the greatest "chasing" centuries and a payment back to the excellent Indian bowlers, his 91 yesterday with a niggling injury to his groin, was a match deciding, rivetting innings,duly paid back by the disciplined Indian Bowlers... Peter Roeubuk writes that his bat was a...

As per ICC ratings, India is second team in ODIS. In Tests, however, she is fourth. Indians have become more professional and their bowlers are concentraing on swing and reverse swing. In Praveen Kumar, they have a bowler who can swing both ways. The other medium fast bowlers, Ishant Sharma, Pathan, Sreesanth, RP Singh, Zaheer Khan etc also have improved considerably. The young batsmen have been coached by none other than (Sir) Sachin Tendulkar. In other words, the Indian team is now more professional. Credit must be given to Greg Chappell, who suggested this system of putting 33 players on BCCI payroll. Now there is healthy competition amongst players and no single player can be sure of any post. There are competing bowlers, batsmen and wicket keepers. The coaches have also performed well. In V Prasad, a master of reverse swing, India has an excellent bowling coach. R Singh and Gary Kirsten are also doing their jobs well. The youngsters have risen to the occasion. Good Luck, India !

Like the Juniors ( Under 19 team ), the Seniors do it again. Winning against Aussies in Australia is like winning the W C ! All credit to the star performers, Sachin with the bat ( 91 ) and Praveen Kumar ( 4/46). This is a clear message to the world that Indian cricket has come of age. Two World Cups this season ( the T20 and U19 ) plus this CB series win make India a formidable adversary to the Aussies! Let us hope India keeps up the winning streak against SA, in the next series.

India scored 259/8 and Sachin was at his masterly best, scoring 91. It seems Praveen Kumar has matured into a good swing bowler, as he took 3 glorious wickets and Aussies are now down at 41/3 ! The U 19 team has great potential. Most probably they will be swallowed by IPL with huge perks. Lady Fortune is going to smile on the teenagers ! Uthappa and Sachin put on 94, a good partnership. Uthappa is coming up and with experience can be a good one day batsman. Let us see how the match progresses !

People danced on the streets and firecrackers burst everywhere as 300 million cricket crazy Indians celebrated India's twin win ! The Indian U 19 team was invincible. Much credit must be given to the coach, Whatmore. It was Sachin who gave coaching to the youngsters and the young boys rose to the mark. Gambhir, Uthapa, Rohit Sharma all impressed. Credit must also be given to the bowling coach, V Prasad, who groomed excellent swing bowlers ! Indian cricket and BCCI are becoming more professional !

- By: Ellen Birkin, 2008-03-02 Cricket is the passion of all Brits. Playing cricket has been a well-known tradition in all English homes from the beginning of 18th century. English cricket was a part of leisure as well as English tea; playing it was considered a status of symbol, an exhibition of good taste. The announcements of cricket tournaments were often published in English newspapers: the pictures of the time depicted the players dressed in white shirts, white breeches and cylinders, elegantly leaning towards the cricket ball. The Cricket game has been the favored game in most English high schools – the most “rich and famous” schools hold a long history of cricket games. Eaton, Rugby and other selective schools were famous not only because of the education they provided, but also remembered for their sport games and sport groups. Cricket was a symbol of high standard, of belonging to a certain social group. The sight of boys and girls playing cricket on green lawns gave a Britis...

Kaul took 2 wickets in the ultimate over and India won by 12 runs over South Africa in the Under 19 World Cup! Srivastava top scored with 46, out of a total of 159 in 45.4 overs . Hendricks did well for SA, scoring 35, out of a total of 103/8 in 25 overs ! The Indian boys had done India proud ! This is reminiscent of the 1983 World Cup win and 2007 T20 win ! In the other match Down Under, Rohit Sharma took the pressure off Sachin,a fact acknowledged by Sachin, by scoring 66, while Sachin guided India home with an undefeated 117 not out. Earlier Indian bowlers did well, restricting the Aussies to 239. Praveen Kumar, the allrounder India has been waiting for, clicked again, taking 2/49, while Bajji took 2/38. Ishant, Yuvraj and Pathan took one wicket each. Go India ! Go and become a cricket superpower which thou art capable of !
