This is a big loss for world of cricket. I really feel sorry for him. He has to die with a broken heart and humiliation. First it was south africa and now pakistan ........

Certainly a sad day for cricket.

WC Progress

After watching first few matches it is clear that pitches will not be too much bouncy rather they will be slow turners or to be specific damp wickets. At different venues situation will be different but it will have more or less same characteristic. So its not going to be a high scoring world cup rather it will be a world cup of spinners and medium pacers. These conditions certainly suit subcontinent teams.

Ireland can be surprise package this world cup. There performance is certainly credible in the matches (including warm up) they have played till now. Kenya looks to be a strong team than most have thought about it. They certainly have a good fielding unit and a very descent bowling. I am not sure of there batting thou, still we are in for a surprise from 03 semifinalists.

India will be playing there first match tomorrow against Bangladesh. I want a convincing victory tomorrow ......

First Match | WI v/s PAK

After a long wait of four year, the world cup will start today. This is a must watch match, since it will give a feel about whats going to happen over next few days. I feel that Pakistan will win this match, if there missing players are assumed to be playing. They have a good batting line up, but there bowling looks terrible. Gul, Rana etc can bowl sincerely but they are no asif or shohaib.

WI on other hand, not missing any players but the quality of the existing players ( sp Bowlers ) is certainly questionable.

राहे है वही,
अंधेरा कहि नही,
रोशनी लाया है कोई,
खुबसुरत सुबह लेके आया है कोई,
हा शायद सपनोसे मेरे,
आया है कोई.

खुशियोंका तोहफा लाया है कोई,
तनहाई मेरी मिटाने,
चाहत दिल मे लिये आया है कोई,
सपने मेरे सजाने,
हा शायद सपनोसे मेरे,
आया है कोई.

Orissa Steelers | The Champions

They have won ...... and there are the champs , only deserving team to hold that label in this years PHL.

Both the teams were well matched which is evident from the fact that champions were decided by the third final , but I guess if Mario Almada had been there story could have been different.

But no problems , They are the champs. They were very focussed, intellegent, innovative in there approach and they just wanted to win the championship.

Lead by magnificient Dilip , with great defense , midfield and superb Salman Akbar. This pakistani is just too good. I guess except D'souza of warriors no goally can be compared with this six feet wall.

Now I hope Indian cricket team will play a steeler game and bring back the trophy Home ......

WC 2007 | Pakistan Team

Pakistani team has a good batting line up but there main streangth was there bowling attack. There was set back when allrounder razzaq had knee injury but with fitness problems of akthar and asif, there chances of even reaching semi's are reduced many times.

They have got no good bowlers now, accepted that they are unpredictable but still i feel that they will be finished in super eight.

Akthar is a big loss for this world cup.
