Twenty20 World Cup 2007: Pakistan has sent Shoeb back to home

Pakistan team is at Johannesburg in South Africa now for playing Twenty20 World Cup 2007. During the practices Pakistan pacer Shoeb Akter adopted conflict with the team mate Asif. For this incident Shoeb has to send back home. The senior cricket Amir Sohel has supported for this decision.

Reuters reported that the incident, described as a "shameful episode" by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Dr Nasim Ashraf, occurred in the nets on Thursday when a heated argument led to the 32-year-old Akhtar striking his fellow fast bowler on the thigh with a bat.

"A decision has been taken to call back Shoaib on the basis of an initial inquiry by the touring team management," PCB chief executive Shafqat Naghmi told Reuters.

"Shoaib has admitted hitting Asif," he said. "Thankfully Asif didn't suffer any major injury apart from a bruise on his left thigh and he will be okay."

Akhtar told the Indian television channel NDTV: "I am feeling very bad. Sometimes you do things in a fit of temper".

Although no decision does not come from the Pakistan camp but it may called Mohammad Sami of the replacement of Shoeb.

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.

England vs India 7th ODI : The Venue Lord’s and Detailed

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.

Twenty20 World Cup Cricket 2007: Pakistan Squad and Profile

Pakistan declared a squad of 15 players for Twenty20 World Cup Cricket 2007 which is going to hold in South Africa form 11 September. The members are Shoaib Malik (captain), Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Akhtar, Kamran Akmal, Fawad Alam, Yasir Arafat, Mohammad Asif, Salman Butt, Umar Gul, Mohammad Hafeez, Misbah-ul-Haq, Rao Iftikhar, Younus Khan, Imran Nazir, Abdul Rehman.

Sporting Life has published Pakistan cricketer’s complete profile such as:

Shoaib Malik (captain)

A versatile and talented batsman, who has batted everywhere from one to seven in Tests and ODIs for Pakistan, and also a capable if controversial offspinner, who has twice had his action called into question. Those setbacks seem to have encouraged him to focus on his batting, and he is nothing if not adaptable - as that shuttling up and down the order testifies. Promoted to one-day captain when Inzamam-ul-Haq's stood down after Pakistan's awful and tragic World Cup.

Shahid Afridi

No longer able to pin down a place even in 50-over cricket, this is a tournament that should have Afridi and his fans licking their lips. Originally selected for Pakistan as a teenage legspinner, he promptly pinch-hit the fastest ever ODI century in his first innings. His determination to attack at all costs has often proved his undoing, and as a result has had a stop-start career. But on his day he can destroy any attack, while his varied box of legspinning tricks can also have an impact.

Shoaib Akhtar

One of the most exciting and controversial cricketers of the modern age, Shoaib burst onto the scene at the 1999 World Cup with his long hair and blistering pace. But eight years, numerous injuries, chucking allegations and an overturned drugs ban later, there's a nagging sense of a talent unfulfilled. Perhaps too focused on breaking the 100mph barrier than taking wickets, the Rawalpindi Express is a cricketer with a point to prove.

Kamran Akmal

Impressive keeper-batsman who looked to have made the position his own, taking over from Moin Khan and Rashid Latif. Impressive glovework allied to high-class batting - Akmal has four Test tons and three in ODIs - looked to have secured him a place in the team for years to come. But a horror tour of England where catches were fumbled and runs dried up left him vulnerable. The glovework improved, but the batting slump has continued.

Fawad Alam

A hard-hitting allrounder and one of the stars of Pakistan's domestic Twenty20 competition, Alam's international career got off to a poor start; not used with the ball, he then fell first ball. His five-wicket haul and 54 runs in a losing cause for Karachi Dolphins in the Twenty20 Cup final helped secure his spot for this competition, and his 20-over record is superb, averaging over 40 with the bat and 11-and-change with the ball.

Yasir Arafat

A bowling allrounder who should be familiar to Britsh cricket fans, Arafat looks to have the right ingredients for this form of the game. Has played for Sussex and Kent in county cricket, as well as Scotland, and his slingy action can make him hard to read. A useful hitter down the order, his form with Kent this summer earned him a central contract for the first time.

Mohammad Asif

Hugely promising quick bowler, whose fledgling career has already been hit by injury and controversy. Banned along with Shoaib for using banned steroid nandrolone, it looked like a career on the up and up had been dealt a critical blow. But his ban was overturned. Injury kept him out of the World Cup, but he's back now, and when fully fit is one of the most exciting young bowlers around.

Salman Butt

A wristy left-handed opener who has inevitably been compared to Saeed Anwar, Butt is an accumulator rather than destroyer at the top of the order. Averages around 30 in both Tests and ODIs, and has therefore failed to really pin down a spot in either form. Not selected for the World Cup, Butt is back in favour and has the temperament and talent to improve those career stats.

Umar Gul

Impressive fast bowler who first showed his promise when taking India's much-vaunted top order apart in 2003-4, picking up five cheap wickets. With higher-profile quicks like Asif, Shoaib and Mohammad Sami all out of the reckoning at various times for various reasons, the reliable Gul has emerged as arguably the most important of Pakistan's seamers, moving the ball both ways and causing batsmen problems with a good high action.

Mohammad Hafeez

A very useful all-round cricketer, Hafeez's major role is batting at the top of the innings. A well-organised and tenacious opening batsman, his best work for Pakistan has generally come in the five-day form of the game. But his tidy offspin and lightning reflexes in the field make him a very handy option for skipper Malik in the shorter formats.

Misbah-ul-Haq

There are many players for whom this tournament has provided an unexpected second chance at international cricket, and Misbah is one such man. Played a clutch of Tests and ODIs at the start of the century with limited success, but a stellar domestic season coupled with Pakistan's desire to make changes after the World Cup saw the 33-year-old back in the frame, surprisingly picked here ahead of Mohammad Yousuf.

Rao Iftikhar

Right-arm swing bowler who has been used almost exlusively in one-day cricket by Pakistan - he was wicketless in his sole Test - Iftikhar's chances at international level have generally come through injuries or other problems for more senior pacemen. His stock ball is the outswinger, but he has the ability to reverse-swing the ball while his well-directed yorkers make him an option at the end of an innings.

Younus Khan

The only remaining member of Pakistan's much-vaunted middle-order triumvirate of Younus, Yousuf and Inzamam in this squad, Younus is one of the best around. A classical batsman particularly strong between backward point and extra cover, his sumptuous drives are generally completed with one knee on the turf and applause all round the ground. Has grit to go with the glamour, and will be expected to carry a new-look batting line-up.

Imran Nazir

A prodigiously-gifted opening batsman, Nazir's occasional lack of footwork has been exposed at Test level. Batsmen like Hafeez, Imran Farhat and Taufeeq Umar have rather upstaged Nazir in recent times, but an explosive 160 against Zimbabwe was a rare high point for Pakistan in the World Cup, and kept him in the fray at least in the shorter forms of the game.

Abdul Rehman

A canny spinner in limited-overs cricket, Rehman has never been a big turner of the cricket ball but does offer his captain control with orthodox left-armers. Made his international debut at 26 - a veteran in subcontinent terms - and has done well enough so far, averaging around 23 in ODIs with an economy rate under four an over. It is this last stat that could make him a key figure in South Africa.

After practices under new coach and play some practices match with different country they will be perfect for Twenty20 World Cup Cricket 2007.
