Cricketing Brain - March 2008

[Rahul Dravid,the wall,has entered into the elite club of few who have scored more than 10000 runs.Most of the runs scored by dravid were under extreme and adverse conditions.But for some strange reasons his achievements have always been downplayed.Sometimes for some genuine reasons but mostly they are for keeping the god-like status of Sachin Tendulkar intact.Rahul Dravid is the most intelligent Indian Cricketer after Ravi Shastri.As far as cricketing brain is concerned,there is no match of Rahul Dravid.

No other Indian cricketer has been as unselfish as Rahul Dravid.He has played the most difficult role for the team and always kept Teams' interest above his own personal millstones.But as an ungrateful Indian we tend to dump and forget our heroes very quickly.The treatment he was given is shameful.


We are all going ga-ga over the achievement of our younger team.But here we again forget that the major contribution of the win was from senior members of the team.We have found Ishant Sharma and Rohit Sharma as the future star of Indian Cricket but they have just started and they have to prove their worth consistently over a longer period of time before they can be compared with our senior pro.

The most disappointing behaviour in this period is of Mahendra Singh Dhoni.The success and adulation has gone in his head and he utters the word which no sensible person would speak in public.He has every right to bask in the glory but he has no right to belittle our legend.He was subtly snubbed by Sharad Pawar when he revealed that Dhoni got the job courtesy Sachin Tendulkar.

My impression about Dhoni is based upon media reports which can be contrary to the actual truth.I hope it is not true because we can not afford to loose Dhoni,like Vinod Kambli or Sanjay Manjrekar who could not translate even 10 percent of their talent into worthwhile achievement.

Australia has replaced Pakistan !

March 16th 2008 04:56
South African Cricket team is now the number one ranked team of the world as per the official ICC ranking system.They are going to visit India very shortly but there is no buzz in the environment.After the high voltage Australian series the excitement seems to have died down a bit.Hopefully,the South Africans will spark a fresh interest in the series by some audacious Cricket.

Australia has replaced Pakistan as far as the intense rivalry is concerned.There can not be a better sight in cricket then the Bret Lee bowling a fierce spell to Sachin Tendulkar.The way Bret Lee bowled throughout the series is unparalleled as per as visual pleasure goes.Undoubtedly,he is the best visual treat these days and his smiling demeanour makes him very endearing.Strangely ,he was matched by one rookie,Ishant Sharma whom nobody knew a few months ago.


There is a tearing fast bowler with the South African team also but he is no match of Bret Lee.Australia has lost one of its most destructive batsman and match winner,Adam Gilchrist,which will affect them certainly because a player of the caliber of Gilchrist surfaces once in a century.Mathue Haiden also seems to be on the verge of retirement and once that happens,Australian Cricket will suffer a lot and will not be able to retain its numero uno status.

India has found some good replacement which augers well for the future and this South African tour is another opportunity for them to show their mettle.Will they be able to justify the expectation?
