South Africa Aim To Wrap Up Series
South Africa have an opportunity to wrap up the five-match Cool and Cool ODI Series in the fourth match at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, but to make sure that happens, they will have to improve on an area that they are traditionally world class in: fielding. Daryll Cullinan, the former South Africa batsman, labelled the current team “the worst fielding side since readmission”, and while the situation may not be quite that dire, the number of dropped catches and missed run-out chances in Tuesday’s match suggested there is still some work to be done. The bowling has also been [...]

India Vs. Australia Series Finale Abandoned
India won the three-ODI series 1-0 as the final match was abandoned without a ball being bowled in Margao. Heavy rain on the eve of the game clogged the ground and, though the weather was clear on match day, the outfield was not suitable for play. The result meant a winless tour for Australia. The last time they experienced something similar in India was on their tour in 2008-09 where they drew the tour game and lost the Tests 0-2. The first ODI in Kochi was also washed out in similar circumstances. It was an unfortunate result for the locals [...]

India Wins The Second ODI Against Australia
The target of 290 appeared to be stiff, especially when India were wobbling at 35 for 2 in the ninth over, but Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh maintained their sang froid to get India close before the adventurous Suresh Raina sealed the win in style. Kohli, in particular, impressed. He not only lost Yuvraj in the 34th over with India still 118 runs adrift of the target but also, by then, was suffering from severe cramps and was forced to bat with a runner. If those hurdles fazed him, he didn’t show it and went on to clinch the game [...]

Bangladesh Complete Clean Sweep
Micromax ODI CUP : Bangladesh vs New Zealand Bangladesh 174 (Vettori 3-32, Mills 3-36) beat New Zealand 171 (Elliott 59, Rubel 4-25) by three runs. The Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium may have been operating at a fraction of its full capacity due to ICC World Cup 2011 renovations, but another nail-biting victory to Bangladesh in the final ODI against New Zealand sparked rapturous celebrations in the Mirpur crowd as the home team stormed to a 4-0 whitewash. Bangladesh had been bowled out for just 174 by a spirited New Zealand attack that showed plenty of fire in the first half of [...]

Indo-Aussie First ODI Abandoned
The opening match of the three-game India-Australia series was abandoned without a ball being bowled in Kochi. Heavy rain before the one-dayer saturated the ground and while the weather was clear at the scheduled start time, the clouds returned to send everyone home. It was an unfortunate result for the thousands of locals who were filling the stadium in their blue shirts. Both teams are fielding inexperienced squads so the expectation was high, but everyone will have to wait for the second match in Visakhapatnam on Wednesday. The Kerala Cricket Association has been criticised by former BCCI secretary SK Nair, [...]

Tigers Eye Clean Sweep
Micromax ODI CUP : Bangladesh vs New Zealand Bangladesh today have the golden opportunity to complete the annihilation of New Zealand as they look forward to a 4-0 whitewash in the one-day series. It would be another feather in the already rich cap of the Tigers in this series, as the scoreline would only be the first time they have done so in a home series against a top-flight international team. The Tigers have so far completed clean sweeps on six occasions, beating Kenya twice (4-0, 3-0), crushing Zimbabwe 5-0 in 2006 and West Indies 3-0 last year. A victory [...]

Magical Laxman Seals A Thriller
Venkatsai Laxman defied a back injury to make an unbeaten 73 as India snatched a remarkable one-wicket victory from the jaws of defeat in the opening Test against Australia on Tuesday. Needing 216 to win, India were facing defeat at 124-8 before Laxman came to his team’s rescue with a brave knock under pressure on the fifth and final day, guiding his side to a 1-0 lead in the two-match series. Batting with a runner because of a stiff back, Laxman was well supported by tail-ender Ishant Sharma, who made a defiant 31 in an 81-run stand for the ninth [...]

Injured Ishant uncertain for remainder of Test
India Vs. Australia 1st Test in Mohali Ishant Sharma’s participation in the remainder of the first Test in Mohali will be clear only on the morning of the second day, Mayank Parikh, a team official, has said.

Lalit Modi Accused of “Stealing” Watches
