So What If We Not Score a Triple Century, We are the best

So What If we Not Score a Triple Century, We are the best.

2012 and the starting ’13 both have got some sad news from cricketing world. Mostly from batters who

Have retired from International cricket Like Dravid, Laxman, Sachin(In ODI’s), Ponting and this year first person Hussey. All of them were wonderful to watch when they come out to bat for their nation. But it is surprising that all of these great names and institution of batting techniques have never made a triple century. Now that is something ridiculously uncommon between them.

 Highest scores of the above players in test cricket:

Sachin Tendulkar-248*

Ricky Ponting-257

Rahul Dravid-270

VVS LAXMAN-281

Mike Hussey-195*

In contrast to them those who have learn cricket from them, played with them and were the great fan of their techniques have scored 300. Like Sehwag who is the biggest fan of 10dulkar as well as of the other two Indian batsman has made it two times, Clarke who has learn a lot from Ponting and wants to be like him did it last year against India. Still Tendulkar has its test career but he will be contended to score a useful runs rather than a long-mark of triple century. And if we see the batsman of same era who retires before them a couple of years ago having like Jausuriya(340), Lara(400*), Inzamam(329) and Hayden(380) they all has made triple century. And if we see the coming era of batsman which will retire after them having Younus Khan, Sehwag, Mahela Jaywardane, Gayle, Clarke they all have triple centuries in their pockets. Kallis is out of the topic as he is the best all-rounders who will be known as a complete high profile all-rounder not as a high profile batsman or bowler so just put him aside. Considering about Sangakarra he is still left to score a triple century although he touches that feat by scoring 287. Perhaps, one has to sacrifice among the two partners. As Hussey didn’t make triple century but his partner made it. Also in case of, Sangakarra-Jayawardnae and Younus Khan-Muhammad Yousuf. 

Triple Century is a great honor and a milestone for a batsman and you can’t rebuff from it. It is only Lara who denies it by scoring a 400 knock in international test matches and 500 knock in the first class. It brightens your batting career and it put a great pressure on the opponents that there is someone who can score all day by himself.Conclusively, Triple Century is not the only milestone which will make you a great batsman. It is although a bloody single most wanted inning which comes under the caps of few. It shows the sign(s) of peaks in the graph of your career and the time when you were the best in the world. 

Getting a triple century definitely means that you have recorded your name among the finest batsman

in the world. But not scoring, will not make you small even by microns; perhaps if you did other things right.

There are list of many great batsmen who have never scored a triple century like Gavaskar, Miandad, Steve Waugh and tons of others and they all are regarded as a greatest batsman in the world. It is just a bloody desirable milestone for every player who plays test cricket.

May be Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting never desires for that…. 

 

 

Chacha of Pakistan Cricket Not in Indian Series

Today Pakistan cricket team won a match quite satisfyingly without any big resistance from Indian bowling line-up. Nasir put a second consecutive ton against India and Junaid Khan who setup Pakistan on a winning track by cracking the top batting order of Indian team.But what was missing from Pakistan's side? The thing which was missing is the old man holding a Pakistan's flag and cheering up for Pakistan Cricket team.It is the appreciation which is completely missed in Indo-Pak Cricket for Pakistan. Appreciation works a lot for a person playing; he gets a moral booster from a distance of around 80 to 100 metres from a old boy.

Chacha Of Pakistan Cricket

   There is also another cheering guy with a big mustache who supported Pakistan many times when Pakistan played in Dubai. He is also getting popular. But there is not only about these two person more than that there are too few people in the crowd who supports Pakistan. Even in T-20 matches there was blue every where in the audience. Perhaps there is a problem of sponsorships given to them. May be there is no one to sponsor him this time unfortunately at the stage where he is very much required. 

Well the series will be ended in the next week and his absence will be missed in the series by Pakistan cricketers.

Pak Vs India Second T20 Match Report

Another great T20 match between Pakistan and India. This time it was India who were the winning team and level the series 1-1.

The match was played in Ahmadabad; many Gujarati's attended as many dwell there. Pakistan team won the toss and elected to field first. The match started in evening and Indian this time workout on their plans. They started decently kept their cool. They don't went for the partnership they just tickle the score board with the run-rate of 7 and half. Then they both were unable to hit biggies and lost wickets. Rahaane 28 of 26 and Gambhir 21 of 11. Virat Kholi came alongside Yuvraj Singh, both have got plenty overs to bat on but Kholi was run out of a fine throw of Saeed Ajmal from backward short leg. Muhammad Irfan bowled his last over in the mid of an inning and he bowls Yuvraj Singh a good yorker which hits him on his toe. May be that was a wake-up call for him and actually that happens. He pulled 7 huge sixes of which 6 went on deep mid wicket. Thanks to Pakistani bowlers who bowls him on his stronger area. He was supported well by Dhoni who scored 33 of 23 balls. India put on a huge score considering a weak batting line up of Pakistan of 193.
Umar Gul was the pick of the bowlers who pick 4 wickets on a slow track. Muhammad Irfan was economical although he didn't pick any wicket but only give 20 runs in his four over spell.

It was like Pakistan team is out of the match as they have never chase such a huge total in T-20 plus the batting of Pakistan put themselves in deep trouble in first T-20 Match. But it was a splendid start by the openers. They provided a decent start and made handsome partnership of 74 in 59 balls. Then the Professor came he played a good knock of 55 of just 26 balls which was the demand of the match. Umar Akmal once again unavailable for the depth overs and he throws his wicket. He scored 24 of 17 having one six and a boundary. Afridi once again failed to stand on the wish of Pakistan's crowd he scored 5 of 11 balls. The target was such a huge that Pakistan required 20 runs in the last 6 balls. Perhaps Pakistan could achieve that if they may have a set batsman but they were running out of wickets. And in last India won comfortably by 11 runs. Dinda picks 3 wickets who was pick of the bowlers as he pick Akmal Brothers and Hafeez who could be dangerous in the last over of the match. Shoaib Malik was there to address but since he was new on the crease so he may find himself unable to play huge hits which were the requirements.

Cricket Extra:

*Yuvraj 72 off 36 balls was splendor which helped India alot in scoring a biggie. He was the Man of the Match.

*Muhammad Hafeez 55 of 26 ball. Although it was in vain but in a series that is a danger sign for the opponents for the upcoming one day series starting from Sunday.

*Will Muhammad Irfan be considered for ODI series against India?

*Virender Sehwag will be the part of ODI series. He will be treat to watch against Pakistan. Pakistan team will be joine by experienced players like Younus Khan and Misbah-ul-Haq in the batting order.

*Pakistan team will be a different team under a different captain against India in ODI series.

*Will Zulfiquar Babar do his debut against India? Perhaps he should be in team 11 in the second T-20 match. As there was nothing for fast bowlers though the leading wicket takers from both the sides were fast bowlers. 

*May be we will find two specialist spinners in ODI's. Mishra and Aswin from India, Babar and Ajmal for Pakistan.
