Yesterday waked up so lately,because I slept on satuarday lately as we had a party on saturday night.After that we played a cricket match,so after long time we palyed cricket again in US(played long back, ie before 2 months).In the evening ,thaught of watching cricket ie India vs England whichheld on Indore.This time I thaught that England will bounce back on India .India bat first ,it lost 3 early wickests ie sehwag,rohit and raina.It's Yuvi and Gambhir who played consistently ,ie they both hold for 4th wicket for 134 runs.Yuvi once again played exquisite innings with 118(122 balls) with 15*4's nd 2*6's . Lastly Yusuf Pathan smshed in slog overs(ie 50 in 55 balls),so India ended the game with a score of 291/9 50 overs. Mahendra Singh Dhoni takes Yuvraj Singh on a ride around the ground on the motorbike Yuvraj won as the Man of the Match, India v England, 2nd ODI, Indore, November 17, 2008 Next England started their game losing their ealry wicket ie Ian Bell.2nd wic

India won the first ODI against England

Yuvi's scintillating century made India to post 387/5 in 5o overs. Yuvi scored 138* (78 balls), Sehwag-85 nd Gambir(51).In the return Engaland was allout for 229(37.3 overs).England suffered third ever highest loss in ODI's. Peterson played few strokes in his 63.In the end Ravo Bopara struggled for the game with 54*(2 fours nd 5 sixes).KP is unlucky ,in which he was runout by excellent throw by rohit sharma,ofcourse it ws Ravi's fault who called for the run.If Kp would be still in the crease ,we don't know how match would be turned...... Yuvi was awarded man of the match for his 138*(16 4's nd 6 6's) This was his second best in ODI's .His best is 139 and even this was against England.

Yesterday I've watched the 4th test between India and Australia .With 381 as target Aus batsmen Hayden and katich came to bat. During lunch it was 91/3 ,but after lunch Dhoni introduced Mishra to bowl , which made sucess. On his first over he removed hussey.Upto lunch he haven't made mishra to bowl.After lunch spinners has shown their ability .Harbajam took 4 wickets nd mishra 2. Ishant bowled well ,overall in the series.This time ricky haven't got out in Bhajji's or Ishant bowling.He was runout by excellent throw of mishra.Haddin was caught out by Sachin in mishra bowling.Sachin took his 100 catch ie haddin's catch.Even this test is Laxman's 100 test.And even ganguly's last match is this test.So Dhoni at the end of the match ie on last wicket he asked Dada to do captiancy.Lastly johnson was out in harbajan bowling.Ofcourse he was out as lbw.So india regained the trophy after 6 years.During presentation again Dhoni asked Jumbo to take the trophy..

On delhi test it is JUMBO ie kumble who retired from tests.Now it's dada who retired from test cricket .He played his last test against Australia in kanpur. We can say saurav as most splendid cricketer with grudgeness in his voice. He debuted in tests in 1996 against England.He shots towards off side are exquisite. He can be said as "God of off side". On debut match he scored a century becoming the third person to score a century in debut in Lords after Harry Graham and John hampshire. In the 2nd innings he agained scored century ,thus becoming the 3rd person to scored century in both innings in debut.After that he did'nt look back and played memorable innings. In 2000 he was handed over the captiancy.He was a successful man as a captian over Azaruddin and sunil gavaskar in tests.He is active in the field, dare-devil to others , rigidness in his captiancy.During his captiancy India reached to final in 2003 world cup.In 2004 he has a poor form , and he was expelled

He scalped 619 wickets in tests with an average of 29.66.A qualified engineer, Kumble has also taken 337 wickets from 271 one-day internationals and quit the shorter form last year. He is the 2nd bowler after Jim laker to took 10 wickets in an innings against pakistan in feroz shah kotla (10-74) KUMBLE's Marvellos 10 wickets Any way what we can say about Jumbo.He was always co
