Sri Lanka vs Pakistan 1st Test at Galle International Stadium on 4 July

Everyone wants success in his life and professional fields and the most important thing is to enable to last out. Pakistan is in Sri Lanka to play two test matches after getting victory over the host in the second world twenty20 championships. This wins has geared up their confidence for the upcoming tour. Pakistan last played Test match in Septembers in the home series against Sri Lanka but for gun attack on the visitors had to back home keeping tour unfinished. So, it will be the finished tour for both teams,

That time, Sri Lanka visited as a touring nation dividing two parts. First time they took part in the One-day series and returning back home they attended on an unscheduled tour along-with India. Banning Pakistan tour India-Sri Lanka authority planned the tour. That time they also played a single short formatted limited over match too. Lankan men performed well in both ODI and Test. But, can they showdown the similar way during the home series?

Pakistan crowned with victory in Lord’s in the final of World Twenty20 and is getting inspiration for the test series. The neutral venue tour hosted by Pakistan along-with Australia, presented themselves as a well formed and strong line-up team in both sides batting and bowling after a long time off from the international cricket.

The first Test match will be held from 04 July Galle International Stadium at 09:30 AM (Sri Lankan Standard time) but according to the PST the showdown will be commence on one hour ago and 04:30 GMT.

Pakistan will not sign in FTP next tours!

Pakistan will not sign in FTP next tours!

It is clear the business based on cricket has been totally depending on India. May be the main cause of this circumstances as large number of people live in there and they respect and love cricket players most. Pakistan cricket concern on about the plan of the next few year cricket tour along the top level cricket playing countries even they have no tour along-with India. It is natural that as a member ICC, Pakistan has right to raise their proclamation on the decision of last ICC about he home and away tour. All the test playing countries signed up for the future touring plans in 2006 and it was a six-year schedule, will be run out in 2012.

It is natural that Pakistan will raised protestation over the decision. ICC has wiped out the name of Pakistan from the host list of World Cup 2011 that was scheduled to hold in the four countries of the sub-continent. But from the view of security it is very serious matter. Although Pakistan proposed to host their matches in a neutral venue, instead, ICC has distributed all the matches among the co-hosts. It is clear that Pakistan is blaming India about it. But, instead of this controversy, Pakistan should keep its eyes on improving security matter.

India vs West Indies 3rd ODI: Can India lead the series again?

All West Indies players’ steady performance able to equal the four-match One-day international series and they are going to play the third match on 3^rd July. What Dhoni’s men thinking about and will they over come the serious batting slowdown in the next match? Indian batting in the 2^nd one-day disappointed all the fans. I want to mention three names Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja who failed to score double figure in the previous matches. India exiled from the Twenty20 championship earlier which was totally unexpected because they dominated all the teams with an iron hands.

Cricinfo wrote:

India's bowlers were indisciplined in the first game, bowling 19 wides and two front-foot no-balls, and the trait seemed to have rubbed off on their batsmen. Gautam Gambhir, Rohit Sharma and Yuvraj, each got out chasing wide deliveries, while the tail, with the exception of RP Singh, who added 101 with Dhoni to save India's blushes, was hapless. Dhoni, at the end of the game, pointed out that over-reliance on Yuvraj, who has scores of 131 and 35 in the series, was not going to win India the series. And with an important game coming up, India's top order will have to step up, with greater preparedness to counter the short ball.

The visitors brought single change in the bowling side in the second match but have to wait for that day, which squads will they declare for the 3^rd competitive match for Indian to take the series lead again. Only skipper MS Dhoni and Yuvraj Singh has continued the successive of well batting. Although YK Pathan did well in the first ODI, as a lower order batsmen it is good enough but second time he could not add any single runs when batting order was broken down with the hit of West Indies bowling.

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.

Shane Bond, the Fast bowler who was playing on the side of New Zealand cricket team, joined in the unauthorized Indian Cricket League, permitted to in the national team form next seasons. He was kept away from the international cricket for joining in the ICL in Indian. He has been drawn his name in the list of contracted 20 players.

"Shane Bond is confident he can continue to contribute to the blackcaps," head selector Glenn Turner said in a statement.

"He has performed well in the shorter form of the game at domestic level while his international track record is outstanding."

May there is no problem for the others crickets of the others nations of the world except Indian and the subcontinents players to play in the domestic cricket and during the contact time along-with ICL. Even Pakistan players Abdul Razzaq played world twenty20 championships just a few days after cut up relationship with ICL. But Indian players will have to wait for one-year to allowance for the international cricket. New Zealand right-hand fast bowler Shane Bond has debuted with the international cricket in 2001 against Australia. He picked up 79 wicket in Test cricket and 125 wickets in ODI and five wickets 4 times in both. But just a single time he picked up 10 wickets.

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.
