England Squad without Andrew Flintoff

 
England has declared their squad for the first test alongside South Africa that will be held on 10 July 2008 at Lords, Andrew Flintoff is not in there because of his ankle injury. This is long times all-rounder Andrew Flintoff is out of international cricket tournament. Selection committee has decided to keep out him because Test match is a long time games. He could back to the squad form the second Test or ODI squad. After a few hours Lord’s will be full of thousand of Cricket fans to watch England vs. South Africa fist Test match. It is a big pressure for host, other hand; South Africa is in confidence to play a excellent cricket during the tour.
"There's always pressure on you in international sport, you've got to be able to live with that," England's captain, Michael Vaughan, said yesterday. "Andrew Flintoff is an exceptional circumstance, in that we want him back in the England team. We'll have to decide how to get him back in the team once he's become available and got enough cricket behind him."
South Africa will want to take advantage of Flintoff's absence by scoring more quickly, in order to give their pace attack of Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini and Morne Morkel as long as possible to work their mischief. Yet it is a tactic that could play into England's hands if the ball moves around on a pitch that has been under covers for 36 hours.
It is clear that South Africa will the opportunity of the all-rounders absence. South Africa has some destructive bowlers like Dale Steyn, Makhaya Ntini and Morne Morkel. South Africa also kept PL Harris and an attacking spinner. The Squads that has been declared for first Test is;

India tour of Sri Lanka with Sachin, Singh and Luxman

India Tour of Sri Lanka to play a Test and ODI series in this dam season. To beat Sri Lanka, India is making their team strong by including some experienced players in the declared team where banned Harbhajan Singh, injured Sachin Tendukar and cool man Rahul Dravid and VVS Luxman. All the selection committee members thought to declare the team with the news and young players. But the equation has been changed totally after the Asia Cup Cricket.
The clamour for the expected retention of seniors Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid and V V S Laxman in the Test squad led by Anil Kumble has gone up after the one-day team's failure to clinch both the tri-series in Bangladesh and the Asia Cup in Pakistan that ended yesterday.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his younger lot of players did not show the needed will and strength of character in the most crucial ties of both the tournaments, the finals, and lost to Pakistan and Sri Lanka respectively.
Now the team is looking better by adding the experienced players although bangla’s talents Sourav Ganguly is not in the Indian team of Sri Lanka tour. It is difficult to say what the India team will do? But it is clear that they will try to dominate the strong Sri Lanka team with a mixed team members and the team will be leaded by Anil Kumble.

ACC awarded Cricket Legends


Some of Asian Cricketers are awarded for their contribution in different sectors both ODIs and Tests, even two former crickets awarded "legendary cricketers" of Asia. This is the inaugural Asian cricket Council (ACC) awards.
Three Sri Lankans walked away with top awards with wicketkeeper-batsman Kumar Sangakkara receiving the best Asian Test batsman award while country-mates Muttiah Muralitharan and Farveez Maharoof named the best Asian Test and ODI bowlers respectively.
Former India and Pakistan captains Sunil Gavaskar and Imran Khan were also honoured with special awards named "legendary cricketers" of both countries.
The ACC also gave away a special award of "best administrator" to Colonel (retd) Nur Khan, former President of the Pakistan Cricket Board, who played a significant role in forming the ACC.
I think it is a very good initiative to inspire crackers and to appraise their contributing in their related fields.

Germany vs Spain: Euro final who will win?

Germany and Spain is going to face each other in the final of the ongoing UEFA Euro 2008. With the match German vs Spain, the 31 day long Euro will be end on Sunday 29 June. The match is going to kick off at Ernst Happel, Vienna. He opening ceremony was held in the same ground. In the opening match was Switzerland vs Czech Republic and the finishing match will be Germany vs Spain.

Germany is from Group B, the runners-up. No one thought that Germany will able to beat the most favorite Portugal easily. Germany just beat to Croatia in the qualification round and also beat Portugal in quarter-final and also Turkey in the semi-final that did not beat to Germany after 1984. I also strong recommended that Germany has become 3 time Champions.

The opposition team of Germany in the final of UEFA Euro 2008 is Spain. This is the third time Spain is playing in the final tournament. Spain became champion one time and one time runners-up. Spain is the only team that did not beat to any tams. If Spain becomes the champion of this stage they will be unbeaten champion. It perhaps the first time of unbeaten champion opportunity for Spain

The short story about the two teams of the Euro final match is full of useful information that I collected form different websites. But the result will come tomorrow at 20:45.

This is the third and final match of Group-B and also the qualification round of the ongoing Asia Cup Cricket Tournament hosted by Pakistan and is playing in the two play grounds. The match of India vs Pakistan will be most electrifying and overpowering among the match of the tournament.
Asia Cup Cricket is running now and four matches already have been over. The four matches of the qualification round was not more suffocated because there was three teams that are not most important such as Bangladesh new comer United Arab Emirates and Hong Kong. Arab Emirates and Hong Kong is playing first time in Asia Cup Cricket. The other three teams are India, Sri Lanka and host Pakistan.

Pakistan squad and some change for India match in Asia Cup Cricket
After Tri-Series, Pakistan is going to face alongside the strong India on 26 June in the 5th match of current Asia Cup Cricket tournament assembled by Pakistan. The strong squad of Pakistan helped them to achieve the Kitply Tri-series Trophy by beating India. Now Pakistan selector committee has decided to make a change in the math with India. They has declared a 15 men squad to face India with a new spinner named Saeed Ajmal.
The 30-year-old, who has performed well domestically, was praised as a ‘quality off-spinner’ by Salahuddin. “Ajmal has impressed with his wicket-taking ability and can also bowl one which goes out like former spinner Saqlain Mushtaq and we hope he does well in this tournament,” Salahuddin told reporters. Ajmal, who is playing domestic cricket since 1996-97, has taken 232 wickets in 72 first class matches with an average of 27 runs per wicket. Defending Ajmal’s selection, Salahuddin said Ajmal had performed well in the domestic circuit and one should not be concerned about his age. “There are many examples of aged spinners who played for their countries. Spinners have no age limit,” he maintained.
The selector committee is thinking the new spinner Saeed Ajmal will able to show a good performance during the match along with India. The cause of their selection is a good capacity and effective routine works in the domestic series bound the selectors to include him in the announced team.
Here is the team that has been declared; Squad: Shoaib Malik (captain), Salman Butt, Nasir Jamshed, Younis Khan, Mohammad Yousuf, Misbahul Haq, Shahid Afridi, Fawad Alam, Rao Iftikhar Anjum, Sarfraz Ahmad, Sohail Tanveer, Umar Gul, Wahab Riaz, Saeed Ajmal and Mansoor Amjad.
Pakistan vs. India live cricket of Asia Cup
Both Pakistan and India is in staring point in the ongoing Asia Cup Cricket tournament after getting a record Marginal victory of 256 runs and the opposition Pakistan holed the top four highest marginal victory records ago. The duo has secured easy wins again the new comer and compatible Hong Kong.
All matches is telecasting in different TV channel. As two matches are holding on in a day, that is why, ESPN and STAR Cricket is telecasting both the matches. There is nothing newly describe about online telecasting such as (live scoreboard, live text commentary, ball by ball commentary, live video streaming etc.). a new version has been added in the mobile network services. Most of the mobile phone networks are serving similar service like online scoreboard and live telecast.
The victory in Kitply Tri-Series is inspiring Pakistan to get another serial victory against India. Pakistan is always positive in their home ground against India. Although Pakistan has acquired the Asia Cup Cricket Trophy only one time but this time they are popular for their last performances in Twenty 20 championship, IPL and Tri-Nation Series.
In spite of playing well in the last matches India got serious defeat to Pakistan that it hitting them with a burning spike. They will come to face Pakistan with full strength.
Team of India
India rested Yuvraj and Ishant Sharma against Hong Kong, but expect both to get a game against Pakistan. Rohit Sharma, who scored a listless 29-ball 11, could well be benched. Irfan Pathan’s side strain kept him out of the first game, and if he clears a fitness test, Yusuf Pathan might sit out.
India (probable) 1 Gautam Gambhir, 2 Virender Sehwag, 3 Suresh Raina, 4 Yuvraj Singh, 5 Mahendra Singh Dhoni (capt & wk), 6 Robin Uthappa, 7 Irfan Pathan, 8 Piyush Chawla, 9 Praveen Kumar, 10 RP Singh, 11 Ishant Sharma.
