Tendulkar becomes a Deity, that he is.

It is hardly surprising for an average Indian to see Tendulkar in this avatar. In India, as they say, Cricket is a religion and Sachin is the God. But it could the other way round for any other Cricket fan.
The daily express in the London has posted that the supporters in Delhi commissioned artists to create icons of Tendulkar as the monkey god " Hanuman".
The works show him holding a bat instead of the more traditional mace.

JAI HANUMAN JI KI

The 360 degrees player......

Can u people notice it. Yes, tats right. Virender sehwag has add the pull shot into his arsenal of shots. In the past, opposition bowlers shared the opinion of not giving the room for him to drive. Sehwag was target in the rib cage and he was cramped for space. Now that can't happen anymore.

Now with this adjustment, he game has become more complete. Now it the bowler turn to devise a contingency plan to counter this hurricane sehwag.

எப்படி போட்டாலும் அடிக்கறான் .......

Is the present Indian Cricket team the strongest ever!

Is the present Indian team the greatest ever?. It is very tricky question. As a die hard cricket fan, it is very tempting to say yes. But we need to realistically analyze their performance before coming to a reasonable conclusion. The recent performances have been very encouraging. Indians are on a roll, they have trounced almost every team that it has confronted with. Since the Asia cup final, we have comprehensively beaten Sri Lanka twice on their own turf. We have beaten Australia at home (2-0), England (both home and away), West Indies. The list is a bit lengthy.

If we look at the one day squad, it is perfectly balanced. We've never had such a wide range of stroke players who can clear the ropes at will. Sehwag, Yuvraj, Raina and Pathan fall in this category. On the flip side, we have players who can drop anchor and render solidity to batting. Sachin, Gambhir and Dhoni fall under this category. Sachin adds value to batting, even his presence can make youngsters charged up.

If we look at the bowling, we never had so much variety. A left arm swing bowler, a right arm express fast bowler, a couple of finger spinners and a couple of part timers. In my opinion, our bowling could be our weak link. We lack a perfect third seamer who is a match winner.

The real icing on the cake is having M.S.Dhoni as our captain . Unlike, other nondescript captains, he is charismatic and led the team from front. Moreover, he is cool headed and down to earth inspite of all the successes. We can clearly say that the team is safe hands.

Our test team is very solid but that is bound to undergo a period of transition after the departure of the heavy weights. As far the as the recent performances are concerned, everything is rosy. I guess, it is very premature to draw any conclusions. Our boys need to sustain the high performance for a long period of time.
