Laxman, hit his 37th Test fifty in his 100th Test and his knock of 64 came up with the help of five fours and he added 146 runs for the fourth wicket with Tendulkar....

A ban of one match against Gautam Gambhir has been a issue now for the this match. Aussies now in a position to draw the match unless something goes bigger for Indian bowlers. Their is no help from pitch to the bowler so whatever has to be done is by Batsman. If India can manage to all out the Aussie team in the middle or before 2nd session and taking a lead of atleast 125-150, their will be a little hope for all Indian Fans.

Australian team is angry that Indian opener Gautam Gambhir was not charged with a more serious offence following his mid-pitchcollision with all-rounder Shane Watson during the opening day of the third Test. Match referee Chris Broad charged Gambhir with a level-two offence of not conducting play "within the spirit of the game as well as within the laws of cricket" after a raised his elbow into the all-rounder's, while taking a run, chest, a reflex the batsman later claimed was an accident. Watson was charged with a level-one offence under the same section of the players' code of conduct for not playing within the spirit of the game, The Sydney Morning Herald reported.

Test Tendulkar surprised at Ganguly's decision to quit

2008-10-31T00:03:00.000-07:00

Sachin Tendulkar has expressed surprise at former captain Saurav Ganguly's decision to quit international cricket after the ongoing home...

Ganguly announced that the four-match Test series this month would be his last following suggestions that the Indian board had drawn up an exit plan for five senior players. A board official said this month that skipper Anil Kumble, Tendulkar, Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman, all well into their 30s, had been told to plan their retirements by December. "I was little bit surprised but you know...the individual knows exactly when to move away from the game and I don't know exactly what's going on in his mind, what he thinks of his future," Tendulkar said of Ganguly's decision. "I am sure it must have taken him a long time to reach that. And it's a big decision. It is a difficult decision. "If he feels that this is the way to go, then we all should respect (that)," he said.
India's ageing batting stalwarts came under intense pressure following a poor series in a 2-1 test defeat in Sri Lanka in August that led to a debate in cricket-mad India about whether it was time for them to make way for the next generation of players. But the senior batsmen found form in the Test series against Australia. Ganguly notched his 16th Test century and completed 7,000 Test runs after Tendulkar eclipsed Brian Lara's world record for most test runs during a spectacular 88 in the second test, which India won by 320 runs to go up 1-0 in the series. Laxman scored a century in the ongoing third test on Thursday to help India take grip of the match after a double hundred by opener Gautam Gambhir. "One is made to believe that this is the right opinion ... (to) know exactly when to move away from the game," Tendulkar added. "We individuals will take that decision when we feel it is the right time."

Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh forced to wait to join 300 club

2008-10-29T20:09:00.000-07:00

HARBHAJAN Singh will be forced to wait at least one more Test to join the exclusive 300-wicket club after being forced out of the third Test in New Delhi with a toe injury. While Australia's naming of under-performing off-spinner Jason Krejza in its 12 the day before the match proved nothing more than a ruse when he was made 12th man, Harbhajan is clearly troubled by an injured toe on his left foot and must be in doubt for the final Test, beginning in Nagpur next week. The only change to the Australian side from the second Test, which Australia lost by 320 runs in Mohali, was the return of Stuart Clark after an elbow injury, replacing debutant fast bowler Peter Siddle. Harbhajan's absence solved a conundrum for India, which was presented with an embarrassment of spinning riches going into the match. With captain Anil Kumble back from a shoulder injury, India was looking at dropping leg-spinner Amit Mishra despite his spectacular debut as a replacement for Kumble in the second Test. Mishra claimed 5-71 in the first innings and 2-35 in the second. Despite Kumble's injury struggles and his failure to take a wicket in the first Test at Bangalore, his outstanding record in New Delhi was always going to make him an automatic selection if fit. He has 55 wickets in just six Tests at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium at an average of 15 apiece and has won the past two man-of-the-match awards. This has been a major factor in India winning its past seven matches at a ground where it has not lost for 21 years. While India's new-ball pair of Ishant Sharma and Zaheer Khan have done much of the damage, claiming 23 wickets between them in two Tests, mostly with reverse swing, the spinners are likely to play a vital role in this match, with India to bowl last. Harbhajan has been struggling since the last day in Mohali with what coach Gary Kirsten described as an overuse injury. The off-spinner has been limping and did not join in warm-ups before play yesterday, watching as his team-mates went through their paces. With eight wickets in the series, Harbhajan has 299 and is on the verge of becoming just the third Indian to pass 300 wickets, behind Kapil Dev and Kumble. In a bizarre toss, Kumble won it twice. As if he was out of practice after MS Dhoni stood in as captain during the previous Test, the first toss ended up two wickets across and was called back by match referee Chris Broad. Amid much mirth between Broad, Kumble and Ricky Ponting, Kumble had a mock toss which he caught before another landed on the pitch. This time he was officially successful. The fact Australia even included Krejza in its 12 suggested the tourists were worried about the reputation the pitch has for aiding spin. It was always difficult to imagine him playing given the terrible mauling he received in a four-day tour match against an Indian second XI before the first Test. Krejza finished with match figures 0-199 from 31 overs. Even so there was earnest discussion between Ponting, coach Tim Nielsen and tour group leader and selector Merv Hughes before the toss.

Dhoni, with 793 rating points to his kitty, is way ahead of Australian Mike Hussey (776) and South African Graeme Smith (764) who are at the second and third position respectively. Dhoni's teammate Sachin Tendulkar is the other Indian in the top 10 list at the eighth spot with 724 rating points. Smith, however, is eyeing second place in batting list as South Africa face Kenya in a two-match ODI series in Bloemfontein on October 31 and in Kimberley on November 2. In the Reliance Mobile ICC Player Rankings for ODI bowlers, Australia's Nathan Bracken heads the list with New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori in second spot and left-arm pacer Mitchell Johnson, another Australian, in third. In the ODI championship table, India is in the fifth spot above Pakistan. India and New Zealand both have 113 points, but the Kiwis are on fourth position after recalculation upto two decimal points.

Opening batsman Gautam Gambhir struck a career-best unbeaten 149 to propel India to 296-3 on an ill-tempered first day of the third Test.

Gambhir put on 130 runs with Sachin Tendulkar (68) and also shared 139 runs with Venkatsai Laxman (54 not out) for the unbroken fourth wicket after the hosts were reeling at 27-2 in the morning session. The opener, who bettered his previous-best knock of 139 against Bangladesh, was involved in verbal sparring with the tourists, who must avoid defeat here if they are to keep alive their chances of retaining the Border-Gavaskar trophy.

On the first day, national hero Sachin Tendulkar became the leading Test run-scorer of all time. Yesterday, former captain Sourav Ganguly constructed a calmly authoritative century and the new icon, Mahendra Singh Dhoni, blazed a wonderful trail.

Tendulkar, Gambhir Made Fifties 3rd Test..

2008-10-29T03:30:00.000-07:00

Australia struck two early blows on the first morning in Delhi before Sachin Tendulkar and Gautam Gambhir, the leading run-scorer in the series, steadied India with a level-headed 40-run partnership. Their patience was important after Brett Lee and Mitchell Johnson helped Australia pinch some immediate momentum as they set out to ensure the Border-Gavaskar Trophy would not be decided in the next few days.

Perfect 7 hero's for Kumble? part2

2008-10-28T22:29:00.000-07:00

However Kumble spun India to famous victories in England, West Indies and Australia over the last four years and proved that he could be dangerous anywhere in the world. It is sort of a cliché now but it was very appropriate for a certain someone to assert that ‘India does not know how to treat its heroes’.

Former India captain Gundappa Vishwanath who belongs to Kumble’s state, Karnataka, voiced his concerns to cricketnirvana.com about great players getting written off and stood up for the Indian captain, saying that he will be back stronger than ever.
“You can never write him off. The biggest problem today is that people who haven’t played or understand the sport are saying that he is not a good captain and bowler. We sitting in India don’t have to make assessments about him, the whole world knows what Anil Kumble is about.,” Vishwanath said.
Former India spinner Maninder Singh feels that Kumble has lost the zip in his bowling and that his bowling has affected his captaincy. However he was quick to assert to cricketnirvana.com that champion cricketers are capable of bouncing back strongly.
Kumble’s record in 2008 tells the story. He has taken just 25 wickets from 9 Tests at an average of 52 runs per wicket. This is the first-ever instance of Kumble playing not taking a five-wicket haul after playing these many Tests in a single year.

Perfect Hero's 7 for Kumble? part 1

2008-10-28T22:28:00.000-07:00

Talk about a perfect record - a clean slate. This champion leg-spinner has played at the Feroz Shah Kotla on six occasions, has taken 55 wickets and has bowled his team to victory on all six occasions. He was Man of the Match on three occasions and even took the perfect 10 on this, his favourite ground in the whole world.
He even said on one occasion that he’d love to carry this venue wherever he went across the world. One look at his record and it would most certainly hold true.
It is hard to imagine a bowler dominating proceedings to this extent at one venue. Let us compare Kumble’s performance at Delhi with others who have done exceptionally well at one venue.

Test match team Australia pondering Krejza inclusion

2008-10-28T20:54:00.000-07:00

Australian captain Ricky Ponting on Tuesday said Jason Krejza, the offspinner, stood a good chance of making his Test debut on Wednesday.
Krejza, the lone specialist spinner in the Australian team, was ignored for the first and second Tests, after he was torn apart in the tour game leading up to the Bengaluru Test.
Ponting said, "He's definitely in the reckoning, the wicket is a little bit loose on the surface, that would indicate late in the game it will probably loosen up more, so spin is a definite option for us.
“Jason is more of an attacking, aggressive sort of bowler, he does get the ball in the air and put a lot of revs on the ball, spins the ball, gets a lot of overspin on the ball as well, so you'd probably look at him as more of a wicket-taker than a containing type of spinner.”
Ponting said it also helped Krejza's confidence, which took a battering in the tour match, that Bishan Singh Bedi, one of India's legendary spinners, spent time with him at the nets. Ponting said, "I'm not sure how it came around that (Bedi) was there... speaking to Jason, Bishen's been helpful and he's also had some good things to say about Jason which has probably been good for him.

Final result is Australia expect weather to play in third Test

2008-10-28T20:12:00.000-07:00

The Australians, who are currently trailing 0-1 in the four Test series, are expecting weather to play a part in the third Test at Delhi, which starts on Wednesday.
While Delhi normally sees extreme weather and heavy fog, the festival of lights - Diwali - and all the smoke from the fireworks, are expected to make the smog more intense.

Australians are under pressure in both on field and off field performance. Indians hitted them out in the mohali test just like a wash out and in the same Indians were champion in the verbal talks as Zaheer and Dhoni cleared told that this side of Australian is the most defensive one.

The players which will be key to watch are Sehwag, Sachin, Zaheer, Ishant, Ricky, Hayden and Clarke.
