The Unsung Hero of Indian Cricket [ Ajit Agarkar ]

Well, there are lot of cricketers, who came in made an early inroads, got stardoms and got disappeared, it’s like a Cinderella’s fairytale in Indian cricket.

Well we are not talking about the Uttapa’s or Rohit sharma’s or Ishant sharma’s. I am talking about Ajit Agarkar, Man who has the record of fastest 50 scored by an Indian. Man who has the 2nd fastest 50 wickets in ODI’s. He has uncanny ability of taking lot of wickets, by conceding runs. But it unfair to say only he concede lot of runs, you should keep him out of Indian team. Look at Ishant sharma kind of phase he is in within 1 year of international cricket, whenever he comes and bowl to a batsmen it looks like you are guaranteed to see atleast 2-3 boundaries in that over.

Ajit Agarkar is the totally forgotten by Indian selectors now, then focusing on youth rather than the experienced guy like agarkar, who has 288 ODI wickets to his name more than Kapil dev I guess. His encomy was on higher times at those times, but 6 an over is almost unacceptable and team chase down 300 plus targets within no time.

Ajit has a good bouncers which can surprise batsmen along with his pace. Man he is 30+ still bowls speeds better than Ishant’s or any other bowler in the Indian circit now.

He is very good middle lower down batsmen and got a ability to make runs and he showed that in many occasion, one in Lords test that Indian lost, there he scored a century , even great little Sachin tendulkar deprived of. He scored a match winning innings on hell lot of occasions even in ranji’s.

How can we forget his match winning bowling performance in Sydney test where he picked 6 Aussies wickets, where the wicket was conducive for Spin bowling

Look at Zaheer he become wiser by age. Earlier he used to bowl all over the place but now he is 30+ and form of his life.

Indian selectors must give him a last chance, when they can give Rahul a chance why can’t Ajit. Look at the way he performed in the Ranji throphy final with 7 wicket haul.

All the best Ajit, I still feel you have a guts to make it to Indian team

Cricket after Sachin Tendulkar mania or saga

Well, It’s shouldn’t happen , Sachin retiring from cricket is the worst thing, I can ever imagine in my life. I pray god to give him power to play many more years to come. I would like to see him sharing dressing room with his son.
Well, we are not here to talk about Sachin tendulkar’s retirement.

I am big fan of cricket India, used to watch all the match with gluing myself to television, but for the first time, I felt there is nothing interesting happening in tri nation series in Bangladesh. Am I missing something? How can be feel cricket is getting bore to me? I am losing interest in cricket. Well, then hundred of questions lingered in my mind and I kept answering few of them. Is it due to too much cricket which being played now days? Every alternate day you will find some or the other match? Is cricket is just becoming like any other Movie channels or like any other daily soaps? Well finally I got an answer J , cricket was found wanting due to Sachin’s absence. There are days when people used to switch off there television when he used to get out. Now people say there are many youngsters and blaaa blaaaa, but still I can’t imagine Indian cricket without Sachin. He is a charismatic cricketer, He brings smile to 100 million people when ever he goes to bat. Everyone forgets there pain in life while watching Sachin bat. He’s such a rockstar in this nation and world-wide. Without Sachin I felt cricket boring and I didn’t even saw the final properly, that’s the impact the little genius has on Indian and world cricket. TRP ratings of neo cricket might have came down all time low

Umar Akmal Next sachin in making

Hey I been following Pakistan cricket for while now and I was hugely impressed by this little kid on the blocks. He bat’s similar to his brother kamaran, but has bit more aggressive and like to take risks.

Well I was disappointed with pakistan didn’t able to sydney test, If Umar might have sticked around for a little while, then they might have won the test and It might have done the young little kid’s confidence loads of good.

Its wrong to compare him with great little master blaster, but Umar at this little age able to play so many match winning innings like one he played in newzealand where the pitches are awful for the batsmen, but this kid showed lot of courage at this age. I think He is the one for the future. I know most of you don’t agree with me. But still I feel Umar can become next sachin tendulkar. all the best Umar

India in New Zealand [1st T20 Match ]

India on Thursday Paid price for being to aggressive. It all started with Virendar Shewag smashing Tim Southee for 3 sixes in very first over.
India have often been accused of making slow starts to overseas tours, but no one can make that accusation this time – their first 11 balls in New Zealand went for 25 runs. Unfortunately for India, they got too greedy – the short boundaries at the AMI Stadium in Christchurch offered a temptation few of their batsmen could resist.
No one actually showed the patience to stick at the wicket and place through all the overs. If it wouldn’t have been Suresh Raina, India Team might have had the worse start to their NewZealand tour.

Team India need to Think about following things

1. T20 is not always bang bang game.
2. Bring in Ravindra Jadeja in place of Rohit Sharma as his off spiners will be effective.
3. Have a settle start for 5 overs then start bang bang.

Is Indian Team World No 1

Well there’s been lot of discussion happening all around the world is Dhoni’s men in Blue are the next world No 1 side?. Beating Aussies in their own backyard then at home and then beating England and Now srilanka. But I still feel their is a long way to go

Indian fielding looks crap except Suresh Raina.

Bowling looks ordinary especially spin department

Controlling the middle overs 15-40 [ Give away lot of runs without many wickets].

They won series in Srilanka as then won toss in all the four games they won.

Olympics 2008 | Can India Produce michael phelps ? | If Phelps was Indian

Although India occupies only 2.4% of the world’s land area, it supports over 15% of the world’s population. Only China has a larger population. Even then we don’t have a sportsperson who can win Gold for us Except Bindra.

India at last produced a Gold Medal for which whole nation was waiting for years in the form of Abhinav Bindra.
But Indian Govt has nothing to do with Bindra’s Success. There were always a shortage of proper ranges, Training camps, ammunations.

Now let us think of a Interesting Scenario just think if phelps was an Indian then

1. He might have easily outraced sachin, Dhoni in ads.

2. He might have had his temples everywhere.

3. He might have had his Phelps fan associations.

4. Hell No of Bollywood Heroines where lerking around him with marriage proposals.

5. Each state might have given him 1 crore for each gold that is 27*8= 216 crores.

6. Each political Party might have had him as a Leader.

7. At school Level there might be textbooks named after him.

Olympics 2008 | Incredible Michael Phelps

Swim demon Michael Phelps won his 8th gold medal of the 2008 Olympics last night, his 14th overall. How does he do it? It’s that crazy 6′4″ bod of his! “Generally, a man’s arm span equals his height but in his case it’s 6′7″—three inches more than his height. Naturally his arms work as powerful propulsive paddles, giving him a clear edge over others. His lower body, interestingly, is shorter than that of an average man of his height. His relatively short legs result in less drag or resistance. In short, Phelps has an upper body of a 6′8″ person but his lower body seems to be of someone who is only 5′10″, which also make the perfect plane in water.” More science after the jump. His size 14 feet may not dwarf Ian Thrope’s size 17 but Phelps’ double-jointed ankles allow him to do a ballerina’s ‘pointe’ standing on the tips of the toes. It allows him to whip his feet as if those are flippers and break loose.

His unique constitution also produces less lactic acid than others which means Phelps takes less time to recover. And if he looks indefatigable at times, it’s because of the Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, which he was diagnosed with at the tender age of nine. His daily routine is equally mindboggling.

He consumes 12,000 calorie every day and trains 96 km every week. Naturally it was hardly surprising when Russian swimmer Alexander Sukhorukov went on to describe Phelps as “just a normal person, from a different planet, a planet from a different galaxy.”
