England vs South Africa: England is leading the series 2-0


Last year the ODI NatWest series held between India vs England. But this year it is running between England vs South Africa. It was held before Twenty20 World Cup championship. This year it is taking place before ICC championship 2008.Althow it was postpones for security problem. The last NatWast series was full of climax; it is looking lifeless this year.

Prior and Ian Bell took just 14.1 overs to chase down the measly target, England winning by 10 wickets half an hour before the scheduled dinner break.

The two ODIs already been over and south Africa has been beaten seriously to England. South Africa showed a very good performance in the test series, but ODI performance astonished all the fans of South Africa over the globe. The last ODI was held on 26 August 2008; South Africa lost all wickets just acquiring 83 runs. England is leading the 2-0 of 5-match series.

India vs Sri Lanka: live score, buzz and reviews 4th ODI

Ten Sports and Zee Sports are telecasting live the Idea Cup Cricket between India and Sri Lanka but Doordarsha is not. Anyway it is an important thing for the cricket fan home and abroad. Beside it, there are some important things about the previous match of the both team. In the two teams you could examine that the top order batsman are totally failure to move the team in a big score. Do you think that it is a big problem or the condition of Pitch of the Ground is the main fact?

I think this is not a big excuse to stretch the team in the long score. After Sachin Tendulka, Sourav Ganguly and Virender Sehwag, Indian selection board did not get anyone who can dominate the opening bowler well. But most important thing is that against Sri Lanka it is almost impossible against the left-arm bowler Chaminda Vaas. On the other hand, new spinner Ajantha Mendis is a panic for Indian batsmen from Asia Cup Cricket Championship.

Similarly for the Sir Lankan batsmen, opener ST Jayasuriya and Kumara Sangakara is thoroughly failed to show their little performance in the last ODI matches in the five matches’ series. Those are depressed all the cricket fans of the Asian Cricket Champion Sri Lankan fans. Is it meaning that Cricket Giant batsmen ST Jayasuriya’s day has gone to end? I think it is not at all.

The Cricket Pitch of the R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo is similar to the previous match. So, the luck is on the toss. Cricket intelligent thinks that the turning point of the match result is depending on the winning toss. They are also telling the pitch will act on the favor to the bowers after the fist innings.

You can visit in the different website to see the text live score, commentary. Cricinfo is the most popular sited among them. Ten Sports telecasting live with English Commentary and Zee Sports with Hindi commentary. So visit the site and enjoy the match.

India vs Sri Lanka 4th ODI the Squad and who will win?

The two serial victories of the ongoing Idea Cup Cricket Tournament make confident India to finish the series result in the 4th ODI. The next match is match will be held on Tuesday, August 26, 2008 Start time 2.30pm (local time) 0900 (GMT) at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. India is thinking positively and Sri Lanka is trying to come back to the series equal. I think India and Indian fans are trying to dream well to make sure the series result but is it possible?? What do you think and who will win the 4th ODI?


The third ODI was full of incitement. This is big warning for the Indian side. Sri Lanka always plays a positive cricket all time from Ranatunaga’s era. When he used to dominate the opposite bowlers he looks cool and smiley. It seems that Mahela Jayawardena is a reflection of him.

Last two victories, however, Indian players will get inspiration to play well. They will have to more conscious about their fault and try to avoid any mistake during the fourth match of the Idea Cup Cricket tournament.

This is the players’ lists of both Teams who will play:

Sri Lanka (from): Mahela Jayawardena (captain), Kumar Sangakkara, Sanath Jayasuriya, Muttiah Muralitharan, Chaminda Vaas, Tillekeratne Dilshan, Chamara Silva, Chamara Kapugedera, Dilhara Fernando, Nuwan Kulasekera, Thilina Thushara, Ajantha Mendis, Mahela Udawatte, Malinda Warnapura.

India (from): Mahendra Singh Dhoni (captain), Harbhajan Singh, Gautham Gambhir, Virat Kohil, Praveen Kumar, Zaheer Khan, Munaf Patel, Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Irfan Patahan, Yuvraj Singh, Subramaniam Badrinath. Praghyan Ohja, Rudra Prathap Singh.
