Champions League T20 2010 - extragavanza maxima

Labels: , , , View Comments

Its again the time for all cricket fans to rejuvenate their cricketing appetite. Its the time for Airtel Champions League T20. Starting from today, 10th Sept 2010 with the battle between local Lions and the mighty Mumbai, the tournament final will be on Sept 26.

The Airtel Champions League T20 2010 is the most exciting cricket tournament played by club teams of various countries. Domestic teams of India, Australia, South Africa, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka and West Indies will once again compete for the title of T20 Champions this September. Started with 8 teams in 2008 (later cancelled), 12 teams in 2009, this year there are 10 teams divided in 2 groups clashing in round robin format from 10th to 26 September 2010. Top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals. There will be total 23 matches evenly distributed across four venues - Johannesburg, Centurion, Durban and Port Elizabeth. While the semi-finals will be played in Durban and Centurion, the Wanderers in Johannesburg will add another historical page of final in its cricket book.
Group A : Chennai Super Kings (Ind), Warriors (SA), Victoria Bushrangers (Aus), Wayamba Elevens (SL) and Central Stags (NZ).
Group B : Mumbai Indians (Ind), Highveld Lions (SA), South Australia RedBacks (Aus), Royal Challengers Bangalore (Ind), Guyana (WI).

Check here the complete fixture for the tournament.

With the opening match between Sachin Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians with Alviro Petersen's Highveld Lions, South Africa will prove their mettle once again hosting big and bigger sporting tournaments after the IPL 2009 and then the heavy weight FIFA World Cup 2010. The South African cricket fans are on new highs to catch the action at their home grounds. International stars like Sachin Tendulkar, Mark Boucher, M.S Dhoni, Jacques Kallis, Makhaya Ntini, Morkel, Hussey, Mills, Harbhajan Singh, Anil Kumble, Kieron Pollard, Ross Taylor, Cameron White, Dwayne Bravo and others feature in the Champions League T20 2010 making it the second largest international cricket event after the world cups. Since the first world cup of T20, people are restless to catch the T20 actions live or on their Television sets.

I am supporting Sachin Tendulkar's Mumbai Indians but I wish may the best team win.

Sachin Tendulkar - Naam hi Kaafi hai !!!

Labels: , comments (0)

Don't be amazed if the number of the day, month, year or the decade will be awarded to 200 !! Yes, its the favorite number of we all, do i need to mention why ?? I guess, No.
The only record which was away from the little master was the highest individual score in ODI. He not even get that under his belt but moreover, gifted the first ever double ton of ODI history to his fans !! We love you Sachin !!

I felt so lucky that i got the chance to watch the man creating history. And yes you and we all are fortunate that Sachin is the batsman of our era. The media and internet soon after his century flooded with fan feelings that some of the major site slowed down or down for a while. For fans he is God, but Sachin himself and some others don't like to be called "Sachin → God". For me Sachin is not less than a reincarnation of God and perfectionism. I am incapable of explaining Sachin and his master innings, so just citing some of the expressions of his fans, utter fans !!!

Beneath the helmet, under that unruly curly hair, inside the cranium, there is something we don’t know, something beyond scientific measure. Something that allows him to soar, to roam a territory of sport that, forget us, even those who are gifted enough to play alongside him cannot even fathom. When he goes out to bat, people switch on their television sets and switch off their lives. - BBC

The Little Master is as bright at twilight as he was at noon. - TIME

Sachin, the man we all want to be - Andrew Symonds

I have seen God, he bats at No. 4 in tests for India. - Mathew Hayden

He is 99.5% Perfect...I'll pay to watch him play. - Viv Richards

The more I see him, the more I want to see him - Azhar

(Last but the most imp one,)
This player is playing much the same as I used to play. Now I can watch playing myself. - Sir Don Bradman

Sachin : God Of Cricket

Labels: , , comments (1)

This post is dedicated to Sachin Tendulkar and his new landmark of 17000 runs in ODI cricket. If someone who don't follow Cricket here in India, also know Sachin very well. The man who made Cricket a religion in India and unites the whole nation, is definitely their God. Yes, this is what said about Sachin Tendulkar and i can proudly say, Cricket is my religion and Sachin is my God !!

05th November 2009, the day when a batsman serving Cricket for over 19 years was playing his 435th ODI match against Australia in Hyderabad, India makes another world record. It may be not a big thing for that man, but definitely for his fan and followers. This man was Sachin Tendulkar who now holds the world record of scoring over 17000 runs in ODI cricket. 17168 runs are now in his account and everyone hopes that when he will retire, i am sure after 3-4 years, has over 20000 runs. Well, we can hope this as this is start of the season and he is just 832 runs behind his 18000 ODI runs mark.

When he made his debut in 1989 (18th Dec 89), he scored a duck, yes a duck now holds the world record of highest total runs in ODI. What a character and a truly cricketer who knows to handle the situation as the team demands. Although the match against Australia in which he made this record was lost by India by a margin of only 3 runs.

In reply to Australia's a biggie 350 runs (for 4 wickets) India all out at 347. Its never easy to chase such a big total on any kind of pitch but every Indian was hoping that we will make it and the Indian audience glued to TV when Sachin started to make this happen. Masterstroke innings of 175 runs of just 141 balls with 19 fours and 4 sixes from the Little master helped India to reach near to the target. At once till Sachin was at the crease the run rate required was low than the current run rate. But the one man show and a poor performance from the rest of the 10 players can't help out India to bag this match. Anyways, he get the well deserved MOM.

The impact of Sachin's innings was so strong that Twitter, which has countable Indians noticed Sachin as the Trending Topic at 3rd place and that's in just in an hour. Some of the comments that is really noticeable about Sachin's innings and this match includes :

"when Sachin retires, the world will no long follow the AD/BC system for denoting years. It will be AS & BS (After Sachin/Before Sachin). "

"Commit all your sins while Sachin is batting, because even God is busy watching him."

"Team India lost to Australia and Australia lost to one man, Sachin."

"Sachin led the team to the door of victory but the rest of 10 players forgot to bring the key"
There are a lots of comments of sachin's praise and his heroic performance. The whole nation is saluting him and so I.

He is definitely the the shiniest jewel of India and i hope he will give chances to his fans and me to praise him with such post. Final words "Sachin is God" !!!

Ashes 2009 - final test.....

Labels: , comments (0)


Ashes, needs no introduction to the cricket community, a war between Aus & Eng, a war between Bat & Ball, a war for nations pride for both Aus and Eng.

This year's Ashes has been so exciting, as always. In the 5 match series, its 1-1 and two test draws. So its the final for the Ashes 2009, and sheduled on 20-24 Aug 09 at the Oval, London.
We all know how exciting was this year's Ashes till now, and definitely will the last match. Both English and Aussies players are all set to fire the opponent and get their Ashes.

The first match drawn, but Punter showed that he is all set to get the trophy. This match was really a nail-biter, that last wicket of Eng made this an unforgetable end, although rain helped Eng a lot. Paul Collingwood played his part too.

The second test won by Eng, and this was a historic win as Eng won an ashes test first time at Lord's. Also, retirement announcement of Flintoff from test gathered news too. As a result he played exceptionally well and help Eng to lead by 1-0 and get the MOM.


In the third test, rain played superbly and almost washed the test and finally match was drawn.

In the fourth test, Ausssies came back strongly and allout Eng in just 33 overs with only 102 at the score board in first innings. Siddle was the hero with his 5/21 in just under 10 overs. This set the stage for Aussies to made 1-1. And they did it well by making this victory with huge margin. They won the match by an innings and 80 runs.

Now, this is the time, for both eng and aus to show up their strengths and powers. They are so exciting and so the viewers.
For me, i wish the best team win, but should be the most exciting match of the season.
Best of luck to both Aus and Eng. !!!
