Black Clouds Around DADA

6 comments

Saurav Dada is looking in trouble these days.The coach of Kolkata Knight Riders John Buchannan had advised Saurav to take rest and resign temporarily as the team's skipper.

John claims that Ganguly is suffering from a back injury,which will make him unfit for the coming big bash IPL-2.

Ganguly instead is trying hard and pleasing the team owner Shahrukh Khan.

Seems like he dont want to play for KKR as a non-skipper.

The management of KKR had made it cleared about this issue that

the team has not been declared and that the skipper may be changed.

Dada....dont think of retiring even in IPL.Life is full of ups and down.

India In Trouble At The End Of Day 2

0 comments


Riding high Jesse Ryder made a maiden double century at the day 2 of the second test between NZ and India.McCullum,Vettori and Franklin also added trouble to India having played a good innings.This helped NZ to clinch a Giant score of 619 before declaring their innings with 9 wickets down.In rsponse to this India looked like they are going to have a good start but then came a big blow with Sehwag departuring early in the innings.Lots of hopes were on Gautam,but he disappointed the fans by playing a fluke shot.Then came Ishant as a night watchman.He could survive only 12 balls.The only thing that will be in the Blues mind will be to save the match.
With Rahul and Sachin on the crease India are 79/3 at the end of day 2.

India Miss Dhoni

1 comments

Dont know whether it was Dhoni missing the game or the pitch in the favour of
the batsmen,NZ made Indian feel fish out of water smashing 351/5 at the end of first day of 2nd test in Napier.
Dhoni's decision to be out of the game came just before few minutes the game started as he was suffering from back injury.
Sehwag then walked onto the ground with blue blazzer for the toss.Having winnig the toss Sehwag elected to bat first on the pitch which was favourable to the batsmen.
Sehwag's decision to bat first proved to be worthy with NZ struggling at 23/3 .
Then came Ross taylor and Ryder partnership which added 250 plus runs to their team total.Sehwag tried all his bowler including him but he was enable to break their partnership until Bhajji took the wicket of Ross Taylor.Taylor made 151 valuable runs.
At the end of the day Ryder was on 137 and Franklin on 27.

Wonder cant India manage a single game with out Dhoni?????
