Recently, Wales and England cricket board has declared its next tour plan for 2010 and as the first tour they have selected Bangladesh. Their visiting time is 17 to March 25 they before Twenty20 world Championship. Host team Bangladesh will face their first New Year cricket match with England next in the fist quarter next year. The visitors will play two test matches and three one-day internationals. This series will be started from 28th February. They will play a three days match between leisure time of one-day internationals and Test matches.

Bangladesh cricket team is fully prepared to take on England and has a determination to play competitive cricket in the upcoming series and will thought to be earning a wins over the Englishmen. We all know that Bangladesh cricket team won both test and one-day international against West Indies and another successful tour so I believe they won’t fear to England Cricket team.

Finishing the tour of Bangladesh, both the team will fly to West Indies for the season 3 Tnwenty20 world Championship. Bangladesh will visit England for a bilateral tour just after seven day.

Schedule:

Feb 17: England arrive in Bangladesh

Feb 28: 1st one-day international, Dhaka

March 7-9: Three-day tour match, Chittagong

England tour of Bangladesh is a natural process and none but IPL have many question marks because. The last tow years, IPL Commissioner Mr Modi tried heart and soul so that England player could evolve in the money making game but fail. Even by being spending huge buck they auctioned perhaps four players but played limited matches for their tight international cricket schedule. They requested ICC to make a window for the events too.

ICC Champions Trophy 2009 preview all nations

You already have heard that the 6^th season of ICC Champions Trophy 2009 (Mini World cup) is going to hold in South Africa at two play grounds The Wanderers and Centurion from 22 September 2009 where eight nations will take part as well. Six teams are taking part in the Warm-Up matches and England and Australia is taking parts in Natwest One-day international series. South Africa, West Indies, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand already has played a matches each and on 20 September there will another warm-up match when New Zealand v India at Potchefstroom Pakistan v Warriors at Benoni and Sri Lanka v West Indies at Pretoria.

India is considered one of the strongest team at this moment. In the recent tour of Sri Lanka won the Compaq Cup triangular series. And last two New Zealand as well as West Indies performed well. It could say easily that last tow year they did not lose any one-series including the home series along with England.

Sri Lanka is one of the well formatted team of Asia that could do well in the last few series especially against Pakistan in odi and test and against New Zealand in the home series except losing in the final along with India. Their eye-catching showdown in the recent twenty20 world cup in England claims congratulate when the turning hand and most successful spinner Muttiah Muralitharan could not attend.

Pakistan is the third country from South Asian region and recent twenty20 world champions are determine to take the title this time. There last two tours were very fruitfulness although the home series was disappointed their fans. But, the series against Australia after a long break was hopeful.

Australia is on the way of series win. In the Natwest one-day international series, they are expecting a 7-0 victory over the host England. The last tours were very painful events for then Oceania giant especially the tour of South Africa. For England same thing is reflecting. Ashes series winner are dominated by Australian.

New Zealand is the 2^nd season winner and expecting to do well. In the press conference Black Cap captain was explaining their situation and expected highly to get the title second time. During the last series could not do well in Sri Lanka even when India visited to them, they lost their fame ever.

West Indies is the only nation who played most time in ICC Champions Trophy final and achieves title one time and two times runner up. Their last performances were very stable that could be appreciated. Though they were kept them to play international cricket when Bangladesh visit to them, it difficult to assume how they could perform in the 6^th stage.

At this moment all the fans are waiting to observe the worm-up matches result. The second worm-up matches will be staged on 20 September and look eyes on the fixture and timetable of the Champions Trophy 2009.

England’s Ashes 2009 win and Strauss highlighted

With the victory against Australia in the last and fifth Test match of the Ashes 2009 window has been closed with 2-1 series result. This is a big achievement for AJ Strauss during his captaincy. It is five years; England again has achieved the prestigious trophy. They last beat Australia in 2009 for 2-1. Similar result comes the season too. In the last visit in West Indies, England got the series win but when they played the in the home ground along with them the English men defeated the series to them.

Cricinfo

"For me, I suppose it is better than 2005, because I've captained the side," said Strauss. "But we've moved forward from then, there are different personalities involved, and a different management team as well. But any time you win an Ashes series it's an unbelievably special moment for all of us. It's just madness. You don't know what to do with yourself. You don't know whether to scream, cry, jump up and down, or lie on the ground.

Yes, England responsible captain can think so. Because, in 2005, England won the Ashes trophy under MP Vaughan leadership who has been kept out from this season.  Just after two years, they able to beat Australia for the prestigious trophy under Strauss. By the Oval test the Ashes 2009 series result comes to in fix and before the fifth test, the series was tied in1-1. Andrew Flintoff has attended to his last test to undergo further knee surgery. 

Andrew Flintoff: the hero of 2nd Test victory

The record breaking hero Andrew Flintoff leads to take the 2^nd Test match win at Lord's after 75 years. The English All-rounder has declared his retirement for the cricket after the Ashes Series 2009. Andrew Flintoff picked up five wickets in the second innings and was elected the man of the match. As a result England is leading the Ashes Test series 1-0, although the first match was result come to drawn. Although, he picked up a single wicket, just 4 runs in the first innings.

Cricinfo reported:

Flintoff, who bowled unchanged for ten overs from the Pavilion End to claim three of the five Australian wickets to fall on Monday, broke first from England's celebratory huddle to shake the hands of the vanquished Johnson and his batting partner, Ben Hilfenhaus. It was a scene that mirrored the final act of the corresponding Test four years ago, and envoked a spirit of cricket that had been bruised over the previous four days.

The English all-rounder, Andrew Flintoff was out of action for long time for his ankle injury. He attended in the Indian Premier League second season that was held in South Africa but went back home for keen surgery so that he could come round before Ashes. Andrew Flintoff added 37 and 26 runs on the score board in the first test that was held at Oval and just one wicket. The winning hero picked up 5 wickets for 92 runs and 4 and 30 (not out) runs.

Can Australia do well in Ashes 2009?

Cricket Australia is passing very tough time. After being very unsatisfactory performance in the last couple of tours including washed out from the first round of Twenty20 World Cup breaks all hope in the ongoing season, I hope so. Beside I also expect that they will improve a lot and will take task from the previous matches. Australia is going to take on England in the Ashes Test series 2009 end of the first week of July. The Ashes Series is very prestigious for both the participants and have much respect all the time. Australia is the most time Ashes winner and secured 121 victories whenever England 95 wins.

Timesonline reported:

But the Australia captain feels that his bowlers will be a match for Andrew Flintoff, James Anderson and Stuart Broad. “We’ve got three guys in our side who can bowl 90mph at the moment, so when you’ve got that sort of speed and the ball’s reverse-swinging, I don’t care who’s batting against us — it’s going to be difficult work,” Ponting said yesterday.

Ricky Pontings’ men are determined to over ome their previous faults and will try to hold the follow of consequent wins. Most important thing is that in the last decade Australia dominated over England and acquired 8 Ashes wins in a row. But at the time of Michael Vaughan’s leadership England able to make them stop, later, by storing 5-0 wins Australia able to back in the wining line-up. It’s clear that the Ashes 2009 will be full of contest because Australian performances have come down but England have improved a lot.

Michael Vaughan may good-bye International cricket

Earn and loss is the common sites in everyone’s life and like a wheel, it will be ups and downs. But it is very important to accept the reality by the time being. Michael Vaughan is considered as one of the most successful cricketer in England, especially as a captain. Recently he has declared his retirement from international cricket after fail to notice the attenuation of the selection board of ECB for the upcoming prestigious Ashes series in England against Australian. The 34-year-old could not contribute according to expected level in the county cricket. He has acknowledged in straightforward of his performances was not well at all. But during is leadership he able to acquired a wining records of 26 wins out of 51 matches.

Guardian reported:

"Having played almost non-stop for sixteen seasons, I feel that the time is right for the focus to shift to the next generation. We have some fantastic talent coming through the English counties and, with the next Ashes series upon us, now is the time for the younger players to rise to the challenge of building on the success achieved in English cricket in the last few years."

The Ashes 2009 will be commenced on at eh first week of the running month. It is the most prestigious test series of the two countries and most of the players desire to take part in the Test series. Andrew Strauss is the responsible captain of the England team who has been selected during the West Indies tours. Although Paul Collingwood was handed over the responsibility during the Twenty20 Championship, he was selected just for that time.

Australia squad for World Twenty20 2009 in England second season

The best Test cricket team, One-Day international Champions Australia has declared a 15 men squad for upcoming World Twenty20 2009 in England. The team is looking very unusual to me but full of young players. From this view, it is a mixed squad. May be, the main cause of it, the champion could not play any good T20 cricket in last championships and another cause is a large number of senior players said bye-bye from international crickets.

 

I almost very happy getting the list of from the selectors where the most senior man Ricky Ponting has got responsibility to lead the team in upcoming World Twenty20 championship. Brett Lee-Andrew Symonds has been placed among the 15 men after get rid up long term injury. Michael Clarke has showed a mine blowing captaincy at the absence of Ponting and David Warner who is the base of Australian Twenty20 formatted cricket at this moment, is performing well in the IPL 2009. Hussey brothers, Bracken and gong are supporting well. That is why; my complement is Australia is sending a mixed team in the second season of World Twenty20 2009.

 

Expectation to Australian team is very high as a fan because their last few years presence in every formats of cricket. It holds the top points in the rankings tables on both area One-day internationals and Test. So, as a fan, anyone can expect to be best in the Twenty20 field too. May, their aim and consciousness will be so as all expect them.

 

There are many questions in media about the declared squads for world championship. Especially Brett Lee but I have question about Andrew Symonds. I know the selection committee very intelligent than me. They have done what they found the best. The only T20 match before world twenty20 will prove that is the decision from the selection board is ok?

 

The squad: Ricky Ponting (c), Michael Clarke (v-c), Nathan Bracken, Brad Haddin, Nathan Hauritz, Ben Hilfenhaus, James Hopes, David Hussey, Mike Hussey, Mitchell Johnson, Brett Lee, Peter Siddle, Andrew Symonds, David Warner, Shane Watson.

England Tour of West Indies under Andrew Strauss’ leadership

Andrew Strauss is new captain of England team after Kevin Petersen. As a new captain at first Andrew Strauss leads the forthcoming coming West Indies tour. England team will play against West Indies a four test series, five one day international match and only a twenty20 international match.        

ECB managing director Hugh Morris said, "Andrew Strauss has agreed to lead the team to the Caribbean. He led the England team with distinction in 2006 when Michael Vaughan was injured." Andrew Strauss is a 31 years Middlesex batsman.             

England team will arrive on 21st January in West Indies. First test match will be played on 4-8 February in Jamaica. 2^nd test will be Antigua till 13-17 of February, 3rd and 4^th test will be 26 February to 2^nd March at Barbados and 6-10 march at Trinidad. Before one day series they will play a Twenty20 match on 15 February at Trinidad. First and 2^nd ODI will be Guyana ground on 20 March and 22 March 27 and 29 march will be 3^rd and 4^th match at Barbadose. The tour will be finished with the last one day match on 3 April 2009 at St Lucia. 

Andrew Strauss said,”The players are excited about going to West Indies, which is a great tour. No-one likes reading these things in the press and a tour is a great way to bring people closer together." 

There was news in media the Kevin Petersen was forced to step down from the captaincy. Now it is time to see how the success comes with the new captain. 

India vs England 1st ODI: Who will win at last?

The 5^th day of the first test between India and England is going to ground after within a few hours. Now, it is the burning question to all fans of both teams who re living both the countries India an England even all over the world. 

Batting: The batting started really well. The openers dominated Indian bowlers highly. The openers stable and balanced batting worried Indian blowers and added a milestone of century and a half century. AJ Strauss and AN Cook added 118 runs from 39.6 overs. AN Cook secured 52 runs and AJ Strauss added 123 runs by hitting 15 fours and without driving any sixes. The English wicket keeper MJ Prior also shared his 53 runs to build a stable score in the fist innings. The top-middle order batsmen completely failed of constructed any foundation.

In the second innings, similarity repled again in England tent. Just two batsmen AJ Strauss and PD Collingwood secured centuries and MJ Prior added 33 runs. 

I think all the fans who were watching the match live both area sitting on the gallery and with a TV or Online was annoyed much to watch the quick-downfall of the batting side. In the half-day they lost their most valuable 6 wicket just playing 45 overs in the second day. Only the new captain MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh and Sachin Tendulkar scored well. But in the second inning Indian batsmen are showing passions to overcome the faults of the first innings. 

Bowling: the bowlers of both teams did really great. I think the fans were enjoying the bowlers’ movements. We can see clearly that the spinners got huge success in that pitch. 

So, as a supporter of India, I will hope that India could do well and could take the series lead. But I am confused about the pitch of the fifth day and the batting of the first innings that can not assure me to take the lead. Anyway, the result of the fist test of India and England just times matter.  

Ind vs Eng 3rd odi: Kanpur pitch will be well for Batsmen

India will meet to the guest England for the 3rd ODI at Kanpur after a few hours. England already has lost the last 2 ODI. They are thinking to do well and turned back from the 3rd ODI. This year England draw a positive movement in the cricket ever. Even the ranking rise up well. But, in the last two match they are subdued by the Indian.

I have used a quaternion of the former that he used for the English team: Darren Gough, the former England fast bowler, has blamed
favouritism in selection for England's recent poor form in limited-overs
cricket. Gough said proven performers from the recent Hong Kong Sixes, which the
England side won, should have been picked for the seven-match ODI series in
India, which began with a massive 158-run defeat for the visitors in Rajkot.

The pitch of the Kanpur is favor for the batsmen who like to hit highly and has a good stock in hand. I have used where it detailed about he pitch conditions. The fans of the both teams who watched the match live in TV could understand the problems of the favourite England team.

Thestatesman reported:

Kanpur, Nov 18: In what would be far from music to the ears of Kevin Pietersen,
the pitch curator at Green Park Stadium today predicted a bowlers' bloodbath
when India host a beleaguered England for the third ODI on Thursday. Curator
Shiv Kumar said:“This should be a batting paradise. The bounce would be even,
ball would come nicely onto the bat and the strokemakers would make merry.”
Police today resorted to lathi charge at some places to control a mob which
gathered to buy tickets for the ODI. n PTI

So, it is clear that winning toss is very important to take the lead of the 3rd ODI that will be taken place at Kanpur.

India vs England 7th ODI: Detailed Analysis and Live Score Sites

The venue of the 7^th match of the NatWest Series between India and England is Lord's Cricket Ground. It is well known to the cricket lover in the world as the home of Cricket. According to the history, cricket was invented from this ground. The 7^th and final match of the seven matches NatWest series is going to take place at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Saturday, 4 September 2007.

Ground History: I will not discuss more about Lord’s Cricket Ground, just a simple on it. The ground was established on 1814. The capacity is 30000. First test match played England v Australia - Jul 21-23, 1884 and first ODI played England v Australia - Aug 26, 1972. As I am describing about the ODI so I will not mention more about Test Match. 44 ODI played here form 1972. If you want to know more just visit lords website, wikipedia, circinfo etc.

Weather Reports: According to the weather forecast report, it will be partly cloud and temperature will be High: 23° and Low: 13°. As the match will be held by day so this temperature is well for cricket. I think according to the cricket language this weather will help the pacer most.

Winning Rate: Among the 44 ODI matches England took part in 36 matches and won 17 matches with the different cricket teams in the world. But the wining rate with India is not good. England and India faced each other 5 times but England beat India only one time. On the other hands India faced with England 5 times and won 4 times. So the wining rate is favor to India. Anyway, we can not come to the result by depending on this statistic. As the 7^th match of the NatWest series is important to both the team. For the final result we have to wait for Saturday. Will it hold its history or break the history?

Lord’s is the last venue of the NatWest Series-2007 between India and England. In the seven match series the result is 3-3. Lord’s will dismiss the result who is the winner of that series.

Who will Win the NatWest Series?

After winning the last math, at Oval, India comes to 3-3 of the seven match series of NatWest series. Last match, 6^th match was played at Oval and India won this match. So you should understand that the 7^th match is important both the teams. Everyone is thinking that who will able to achieve the crown of the victory. I you will say Indian will but I think England is not lees important than India because they are not less important than India if you look over the previous matches. For the final result we have to wait for Lord’s match where the 7^th match of the NatWest will take place.

If we observe the last six matches we can consider easily that India has lost three. Why did they loose? What was the main fact of their defeat? In the every match their main fault was the early downfall of the top order batsman and the non-responsible fielding and other big cause was the slow movement of running between the wickets. The last mach India won and the man of the match award went on Sachin Tendulkar. In an interview with the commentaries he was asked about the slow movement for running between the wickets. Sachin answered cleverly that 4 and 6 increase the run rate but single run is important for a match. Indian skipper Rahul Dravid also answered some questions of the commentaries that were important.

In the last match between India and England, Indian batting, bowling and fielding performance was very good except Yuvraj one over. I discussed on my articles in many time that if India control the fielding and top order batsmen’s early downfall then they could covey all the impossible to possible. It is very good example the last match. If India keens to do well on the 7^th or final match at Oval Cricket Ground then they have to follow this theory which was brought success on 6^th match.

I think, Indian supporters are praying for their favorite team. No doubt that India did well for their good movement on the last match. It is proved that India can do everything. The 7^th match will select who will be the series winner of he seven matches NatWest series.

England was in a step before the 6^th match of the ongoing Natwest series. They also own three matches too. They tried to come concluding on the 6^th match but Indian batting stopped them and told that we will come to conclusion at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. But I think that the previous they played very not good it is best. As everything has a result so as a result they had to loose three matches. It does not mean that they did not play well. I think these will inspire them to do well as well as raise their hope to win the 7^th or final match too. Now Lord’s Cricket Ground will bring the final result. We can easily guess that English’s conditions were very well. If we make a short look on the previous matcher, we easily can see that in the first they defeat seriously India by 104 runs. On the second match, although they lost to India but it was 9 runs and they did 320 runs. In the third match they did only 282 but India did not reached to the target for their strong bowling and fielding. In the fourth match England’s lower order batsman basically bowler’s job was like a middle order bats man. On 114 they lost 7 wickets but the two batsmen strong and steady performances reached England to the target without loss. As a result England defeated India by 3 wickets. That’s mean the can do anything anytime. What will be the position of the England team what happened in their fate in the next match of the NatWest series?

Both the team will fight in strong strength at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. Now their position is 3-3 so we can not think now who will win. Who will ware the victory of crown? Just wait for 8 September 2007.

Indian Keens to win the Series!

After winning the last match, now India has become strong in mentally. Now they are thinking to win the NatWest series. Yes, they can think because of their very good performances and the top order batsmen’s back to the form.

Times of India has posted a bid article on it. In this article it has described the reflection of Rahul Dravid who is the skipper of Indian team. India then seemed to be cruising as Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly put on 150 for the first wicket, only for the momentum to tip back England's way after a series of wickets.

Robin Uthappa, though, kept his nerve amid the chaos, scoring an unbeaten 47 to win the game with two balls to spare.

"We got a bit of the rub of the green, but we have shown a lot of resilience after a long tour," Dravid went on. "It should be a cracker of a game at Lord's."

He had particular words of praise for his much-decorated opening duo.

"When you're chasing 320 you need to get off to a good start," Dravid said.

"They got 150 which make a big difference - especially on a slow wicket when you know it'll get harder to play shots.

If India wants to win the series then the top order batsman Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly needs to play a responsible match like the 6^th ODI. Robin Uthappa’s performance also inspires them to do well.

Anyway, we can not come to the result by depending on this statistic. As the 7^th match of the NatWest series is important to both the team. For the final result we have to wait for Saturday. Will it hold its history or break the history?

Lord’s is the last venue of the NatWest Series-2007 between India and England. In the seven match series the result is 3-3. Lord’s will dismiss the result who is the winner of that series.

All about Indian Team

Indian fielding coach Rabin Singh is trying to develop the fielding side. If you observe the last five matches you will easily observe that what badly thing they did although they won two of 7 matches series. The last two matches Indian fielding was so bad the every cricket fan even the cricket specialist was angry with them. Last match the Indian fielders missed 5 catches that is very bad for any team. They praised the bating and bowling of Indian team too. But they keen to recruit some all-rounder in the Indian team. Here is on comments of a cricket fan who visited my blog link and read it.

Yes, you are right in saying fielding needs improvement but more than that, an all-rounder is essential.

Even if you are missing a catch and giving 15 odd extra runs in a fielding, you can manage with an additional ie., the 7th batsman and still can win the game.

First find an All-rounder and then overall you can try improve the fielding.

When your batting is not so strong and even the best bowlers of our team are bowling like beach cricket bowling, what big thing you can do?

Who will win the 6^th ODI?

Five matches already have over of the ongoing 7 matches of NatWest Series. Now the result is 3-2. So the next match is important for both the teams. India will try heart and soul to come to tie and England will try to come dismiss the result in this match. So the next match is important for both the teams.

England won three matches that will inspire them to do well as well as raise their hope to win the 6^th match too. So the venue oval is going to become the spectator of a history. As oval is always favored for England team and their last six matches performances the fans all is favor. If we observe the England’s situation all the matcher they did well. If we make a short look on the previous matcher, we easily can see that in the first they defeat seriously India by 104 runs. On the second match, although they lost to India but it was 9 runs and they did 320 runs. In the third match they did only 282 but India did not reached to the target for their strong bowling and fielding. In the fourth match England’s lower order batsman basically bowler’s job was like a middle order bats man. On 114 they lost 7 wickets but the two batsmen strong and steady performances reached England to the target without loss. As a result England defeated India by 3 wickets. That’s mean the can do anything anytime. What will be the position of the England team what happened in their fate in the next match of the NatWest series? Will English men come back to their form or they will have to face like the 5^th ODI?

On the other hands, what Indian team will do? A large number of Indian fans who live both England and Indian subcontinent. But the Indian team did not able to fulfill the anticipation of the large number of fans. Form the very beginning of the NatWest series their unexpected breakdown have marked sensitivity all the fans. According to the cricket specialist the main requirement of Indian team is concentration and passion. Some time their bowling, batting is disgusting. But fielding is always worst that disperse all the hopes. I think you will not find any day that they did not miss more that 4 catcher and did not save any extra runs.

Both teams have change to win the match. Indian hope is that their batsmen came to the form and bowlers are doing well. The cricket specialist Sunil Gavaskar expressed that sourav, sachin,Yuvraj and Dhoni is doing well so it is a turning point for Indian team and the bowler Ajit Agakar is doing well although his econ is huge. England vs India 6^th ODI: Why India lost last three matches and what they should do for 6^th ODI?

India has lost three along with England of the seven matches’ series. Now the result is 3-2 where India is in loosing position. If they wish to win the 6^th ODI of the series they have to conscious about some significant points. Some of cricket analyst also advised them after the end to the match what the missing points were and how to solve it. They also discuss on about their batting, bowling and fielding. What was the key area under discussion behind their loose?

Indian Batting: what was the main cause of their defeat in the first match? First, Sourav Ganguly run out and added only 2 runs, it is totally non-responsibilities. G Gambhir added only 3 run Sachin Tendulkar 17, Yuvraj Sihgn 0. If the top order and the middle order batsmen do so how it is possible to win the match?

In the 3rd ODI was same problem top and lower order batsmen downfall and the slow running between the wicket was the main cause of loosing the 3rd ODI. That day SR Tendulkar 8, KD Kartik 0 and R Power 5 that was their runs. Although Sourav Ganguly did 72 runs but he spent 104 balls and he was slow in the running between the wickets. Cricket analyst Sunil Gavaskar and Ravi Shastri was compared with the England’s cricketer how fast they and how slow Sourav was! That was totally disgusting.

On the 4^th odi repeated the previous problem. Top order batsmen’s downfall and would be captain of the Indian team for Twen20 world Cup MS Dhoni’s achievement was dissatisfied all the fans. MS Dhoni’s did only 17 runs and the previous three matches he did 19, 21, 13. So how can you depend on them?

Indian Bowling: The bowling side of Indian team was not good before. But some of the bowlers are disgusting. I am not sure why they come to the national team. Some bowlers are good but they did not know how to do at the exact time. If you look over the bowling of Ajit Agaker, he is totally good but he could able to control his econ. In the past time he was only one bowler who achieved first 50 wickets in a very short time.

Indian Fielding: If I praise the fielding of Indian team, the fans will through the inkpot to me. Anyway, to help a bowler and his econ rate it’s totally depending on fielders. I am not sure how Indian fielders can improve themselves. I think if they want to improve them selves and want to save the extra runs and bounder first time they have to stop themselves over through, stopping ball by using feet instead of hands.
