Just after a few days ICL come up with a new version ICL 20s World Series 2008-09. Today is the, second day of the ICL new formatted tournament that will be taken place at ICL India XI v ICL Pakistan XI at Ahmedabad- Nov 24, 2008 at 19:30 local time (14:00 GMT). Just after a few days of the second edition the players are playing the so called ICL 20s World Series. 

The four teams are taking parts in the tournament. They are India XI, Bangladesh XI, Pakistan XI and World. In the last match Bangladesh XI played the first match along with World XI and got defeat. Today, India XI is going to play along with the arch rival Pakistan XI at Ahmedabad. I think the match will be similarly the National Teams. 

Pakistan XI (Lahore Badshahs) has become the champion of second edition of the ICL tournament when the beat Hyderabad Heroes. So Pakistan is full of temper and mentally confident to take the lead in the ICL 20s World Series. On the other hand india XI will take he revenge of the previous defeat. 

Inzamam-ul-Haq the captain of the Pakistan XI (Lahore Badshahs) is determine to secured the Trophy of the ICL 20s World Series. In an article of sports.in.msn.com reported: 

Speaking to reporters, he said, “We have a good team and all are in perfect health. We will like to keep the momentum going and aim for the title.” “Our players are in good form and now with the inclusion of allrounder Abdul Razzaq we will have some advantage,” the former Pakistan skipper added.

Teams: 

Pakistan: Inzamam-ul-Haq (capt), Imran Nazir, Abdul Razzaq, Arshad Khan, Haafiz Shahid (WK), Humayun Farhat (wk), Imran Farhat, Mohammad Sami, Mohammad Yousuf, Naved-ul-Hasan, Riaz Afridi, Shahid Nazir, Shahid Yousuf, Tahir Mughal, Taufeeq Umar 

India: R Sathish (capt), Abbas Ali, Hemang Badani, Stuart Binny, Deep Dasgupta (wk), Eklak Ahmid, Rohan Gavaskar, R Jesuraj, Ibrahim Khaleel (wk), Ali Murtaza, Rakesh Patel, Ambati Rayudu, Inder Shekar Reddy, Reetinder Sodhi, G Vignesh. 

The match will be telecasted in the Zee Sports and ESPN because Zee is the telecast media right holder of all ICL matches.

Indian XI is going to face Pakistan XI in their first match of the ongoing ICL 20-20 World Series, 2008/09 tonight at the Sardar Vallabhai Patel Stadium in Ahmedabad with both sides looking to start off well in the tournament. Indian Cricket League (ICL) has recently organized the 20-20 Indian Championship which saw Lahore Badshahs winning the title. Pakistan XI seems to have an edge over the Indian XI, considering the fact that almost all the players played together in the 20-20 Indian Championship, except Abdul Razzaq and Taufeeq Umar. Their triumph in the tournament will also energize their mental strength and confidence. Indian XI, on the other hand, consists of players only from India, but their players did not play together during the recently finished ICL 20-20 Indian Championship. So, Pakistan team does surely have an advantage in this sense.

Having said that, Indian team also has some quality players like R Satish who was pretty much successful in the recent tournament, becoming one of the top five run scorers with 287 runs at an average of 47.83. There are some other key players like Reetinder Sodhi, S Abbas Ali and Ali Murtaza who did not see success as a team, but individually they were successful. One of the interesting things about this season of ICL is that players showed the guile to do better and there was improvement in their game in every department.

For Pakistan XI, they have some inform players like Naved-ul-Hasan who won the man of the series award in ICL 20-20 Indian Championship thanks to his consistent performance both with bowl as well as bat. He was the highest wicket taker with 22 wickets from 11 matches at an average of 12.77. His hard hitting batting in one-down was instrumental behind Lahore’s many wins in the tournament. Another all rounder Abdul Razzaq, who played for Hyderabad Heroes, was perhaps the second best all rounder in the tournament. Pakistan XI also has aggressive openers like Imran Nazir, who was the highest run getter in the recent tournament with 392 runs, and Imran Farhat. In the middle order, they have batsmen like Inzamam-ul-Haq and
Mohammad Yousuf. So, Pakistan seems to have a balanced squad.

India vs Pakistan match is always something special to the cricket team. I hope, it would not be different either in ICL.

Abhishek-Sonam next venture Dilli 6 vs Aishwarya

For the first time, Abhishek Bachchan is going to perform in a directorial venture of Rakeysh Om Prakash Mehra, the director of Rang De Basanti. His next film Dilli 6 will star Abhishek Bachchan opposite Sonam Kapoor. This is going to be the second movie of Sonam Kapoor after her debut in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s high-profile movie Saawariya, starring Ranbir Kapoor, Salman Khan and Rani Mykherjee. Abhishek Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor are now shooting for Dilli 6. During the shooting of Dilli 6, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan went to meet husband Abhishek Bachchan. Performing in a romantic scene is very simple in Bollywood, but if it happens after the marriage of an actor or actress then it depends on themselves how they will accept it. Such an incident happened during the shooting of Dilli 6 when Abhishek Bachchan had to shoot in a romantic scene with Sonam Kapoor in the presence of wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Shooting in the scene was natural for Abhishek Bachchan thinking of his career, but how Aishwarya Rai Bachchan would take it depends on herself. In Dilli 6, Abhishek Bachchan plays the role of Laxman Prasad opposite Bittu, the female lead role played by Sonam Kapoor. Besides, Big B Amitabh Bachchan will be seen playing the role of Abhishek’s father in the movie. Om Puri, Rishi Kapoor, Waheeda Rahman and Tanvi Azmi will be seen some other important roles in the movie.

Ind vs Eng 4th ODI 2008: Live score Streaming TV and Timing

If you want to get live score and updates of the India vs England fourth ODI then visit the following link:

http://cricket-news-bangladesh.blogspot.com/2008/11/india-vs-england-4th-odi-2008-live.html 


Indian and England will take on each other on Sunday (23 November 2008) at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore in the fourth ODI of the ongoing series. India needs only one more win to claim the series as they are already leading 3-0 after winning all three matches held so far. For England, it is a must-win match in order to keep the series alive. England batsmen are struggling against Indian spinners, while English spinners are struggling against Indian batsmen. These are perhaps the top most problems England has been facing in the series so far. So, England batsmen must be more confident against Indian spinners like Harbhajan Singh, while England spinners have to provide enough support to their pacers. For India, Sachin Tendulkar is all set to come back in ODI cricket after a long time and Rohit Sharma might be replaced by Sachin Tendulkar.


Irfan Pathan has been back in the squad for the 4th and 5th matches in place of Rudra Pratap Singh. However, rumors available in the media suggest that captain Dhoni had disagreement with the selectors about Irfan Pathan’s selection in place of RP Singh in the squad. Anyway, England team will play Graeme Swann as the specialist spinner, while Samit Patel and Kevin Pietersen will help Swann with their spin. I think, playing both Samit Patel and Graeme Swann together is a good decision. Cricket fans of both sides are eagerly waiting for this match as it could decide the series.


Live on TV

NEO Cricket will telecast the match live for the Indian cricket fans. However, cricket fans of India’s neighboring counties could also enjoy the match live on NEO Cricket. Besides, NEO Cricket will also share the feed with DD Sports and the match could be available for the Indian fans on DD Sports too. However, I got surprised when the third ODI was telecast live on DD National. So, I think, either DD National or DD Sports will telecast the match live for the Indian fans.


Sky Sports will broadcast the fourth ODI live for the cricket fans in England. In fact, Sky Sports telecast the first three matches as well. So, if you are in England, then Sky Sports is the channel you should tune on to enjoy the fourth ODI live.


Timing

The fourth ODI between India and England is going to be a day/night match. So, the match kicks off at 14:30 IST (Indian Standard Time) and at 09:00 GMT. Tomorrow is Sunday, the government holiday both in India and England. So, cricket fans in India and England may not have much problem to manage their time to enjoy the live action of the match on television. However, the only concern is that it has been forecast that there could be shower in Bangalore tomorrow. In that case, it would be disappointing for the cricket fans.


Live Score and Updates

There are many online live score websites from where you can find online live score and updates of the match. Here, I am giving some names of those websites:


Cricinfo
Cricketnext
Cricket.sulekha

I hope to see an exciting match between India and England in the fourth ODI. I think, so do many other cricket fans too.

Aishwarya Rai’s Next films

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s next English movie is the The Pink Panther 2. This movie will get released on 13 February 2009. The Pink Panther 2 will be Aishwarya’s fifth English language movie. The Pink Panther 2 is a comedy movie in which Aishwarya Rai will be seen playing a role of a detective named Sonia. The Pink Panther 2 is the sequel of 2006 film The Pink Panther starring Steve Martin in the protagonist role.

In the sequel, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be seen acting alongside Steve Martin, Jean Reno, Emily Mortimer, John Cleese etc. Aishwarya’s last English movie, The Last Legion, was released in 2007. Her three other Engliush language movies are Provoked, Mistress of Spices, Bride & Prejudice. All her previous four English movies were expected to be very successful in the box office, but after releaase, none of those films fared well in the box office. Now, The Pink Panther 2 is expected to do well in the box office as its sequel was a box office hit in 2006. At this moment, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is shooting for Mani Ratnam’s Raavan, Robot and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s next movie.

Bollywood’s recent film Dostana has fared well in the box office. Starring Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan and John Abraham, Dostana was supposed to be Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s first movie after her marriage. However, Aishwarya Rai was replaced by Priyanka Chopra later on in the movie. From 1997 to 2008, Aishwarya Rai acted in 38 movies including 36 in Hindi, 4 in English, 3 in Tamil, 1 in Telugu and 1 in Bengali languages. In 2010, Aishwarya’s fourth Tamil movie will be released.

India vs England 4th ODI: Kevin Pietersen Hoping for a Turnaround

You already know that England has lost all of the three one day matches they have played in the current Indian tour until now. They had nothing to be happy about as their batsmen are repeating the same mistakes and of failing to perform in the last three matches. This poor performance has surely disappointed the fans and British media is carrying out a lot of criticism against the current English cricket team. A lot of criticism is naturally coming at the captain Kevin Pietersen. Now, he is hoping for a turnaround in the fourth one day international match.

He wants that the batsmen of these people concentrate hard and can get some decent amount of runs. He is looking for some centuries in the fourth ODI and the remainder of the matches.

Well, the problem is that you England batsmen are yet to find any kind of become against Indian bowlers in the current series. I don’t see anything coming from them in the next one day intention match and I feel that England will suffer a white was because they are not playing well at all until now.
