Bangalore Royal Challengers have given up in IPL?




rahul dravid despairs as the Bangalore Royal Challengers lose again

Originally uploaded by Rajaram S

Bangalore Royal Challengers seem to have lost faith in themselves, especially their captain,Rahul Dravid

The Bangalore Royal Challengers were supposed to be one of the best teams of the Indian Premier League,but the team is getting unstuck due to some rather insipid performances from the so called star players such as Dravid & Chanderpaul and some really weird captaincy decisions by Rahul Dravid

Rahul Dravid seems to want the Bangalore Royal Challengers to lose

Rahul Dravid has been scheming rather well to ensure that the Bangalore Royal Challengers do not win a single cricket match again in the Indian Premier League ( IPL )


You can forgive Rahul Dravid ’s insipid and slow batting in the recent IPL match between Bangalore Royal Challengers and the Kolkata KnightRiders, for Rahul Dravid is after all the “Wall that will not budge”.

But, to treat the gentle off cutters of Saurav Ganguly with as much fear as one would treat a Wes Hall beamer, was simply inexcusable and unfair to his Bangalore Royal Challengers team.

Rahul Dravid has been careful to ensure that the matchwinners of the Bangalore Royal Challengers are either left out or do not get to bat enough

Whats the point of having match winners in the Bangalore Royal Challengers team such as Misbah Ul Haq or Cameron White , if they are either not selected or allowed to come in to bat after the damage has been done by Rahul Dravid’s slow and laborious batting

Bangalore Royal Challengers still have a good team and if handled well, can do well in the IPL, but Rahul Dravid would probably have to step down


As the GreatBong points out in his hilarious blog, the Bangalore Royal Challengers seem to be royally challenged

Rahul Dravid has his head in hands, but the Bangalore Royal Challengers would do better in the IPL if his head on the block

Sourav Ganguly’s Kolkata Knight Riders vs Bangalore Royal Challengers in IPL cricket league

Sourav Ganguly ’s Kolkata Knight Riders take on the Bangalore Royal Challengers in the Indian Premier League cricket tournament

In the next couple of hours, the Indian Premier League (IPL) will be underway and Sourav Ganguly ’s Kolkata Knight Riders will play against the Bangalore Royal Challengers.

I have always been a great fan of Sourav Ganguly ’s captaincy and this will be a great opportunity to watch Sourav ’s captaincy against his “good friend” Rahul Dravid ’s Royal Challengers

Sourav Ganguly has been India’s best captain ever, but handling the diverse dressing room of the Kolkata Knight Riders will not be easy

Sourav Ganguly is a masterly leader and the way he handled the batting greats of Indian cricket, namely Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid and VVS Laxman suggest that he will be equal to handling Ricky Ponting,Hussey and Chris Gayle

Sourav Ganguly brings to the table his own brand of no-nonsense die-hard captaincy, along with his incredible people handling skills. One would have to watch how his Kolkata Knight Riders team fares especially against the pace bowling of Dale Steyn

Will Sourav Ganguly be late for IPL ’s inaugural toss and will Rahul Dravid be subjected to the Steve Waugh treatment? Probably Not!

ICL World cricket series scores : ICL World :145/2 in 18.3 overs (Damien Martyn 67 off 53 balls) beat ICL India 141/5 (TP Singh 63 of 49 balls)

Man of the match : Damien Martyn

Damien Martyn finally strikes form in the ICL World cricket series,as ICL World thrash ICL India by 8 wickets

Damien Martyn showed his class for the first time in the ICL World series cricket match. Damien Martyn’s innings came at the right time for the ICL (Indian Cricket League) ,midst allegations in some quarters that the leading cricket stars of the cricketing world such as Brian Lara were simply lured by the moolah offered, and were not pulling their weight

Damien Martyn has finally struck good form, will the legendary Chris Cairns (my favorite allrounder) also play another match winning innings

Ambati Rayadu,Hyderabad Heroes win ICL,thanks to Rayadu




Ambati Rayadu- hero for Hyderabad Heroes in ICL

Ambati Rayadu played an incredible knock as the Hyderabad Heroes win the Indian Cricket League

Ambati Rayadu played a set of great knocks as the Hyderabad Heroes progressively got better and finally beat the Indian Cricket League

Ambati Rayadu was never given a chance by the Indian cricket selectors but proved his immense talent in the ICL


Ambati Rayadu was always termed as a flawed cricket batsmen by the Indian cricket selectors and cricketing pundits, but anyone who saw his incredible knocks in the ICL (Indian Cricket League) finals will appreciate his immense talent

Ambati Rayadu played well even against the great bowling attack of the Lahore Badshahs

The Lahore Badshahs had an incredible bowling attack with Naved-Ul-Hassan, Mohammed Sami,Mushtaq and Saqlain forming an incredible dream bowling combination

Rayadu however,showed his worth by being the only player in the Hyderabad Heroes to effectively counter this amazing bowling attack

Ambati Rayadu ’s great performance in the ICL once again underscores the talent that Indian cricket is missing, due to the banning of the ICL cricket players

The Indian Premier League (IPL) second auction is underway


Misbah-Ul-Haq has been picked up by the Bangalore Royal Challengers in the Indian Premier League ( IPL )


Misbah-Ul-Haq is probably one of the best cricketers in the world today, and the Bangalore Royal Challengers cricket franchise has made an amazing selection by picking up Misbah-Ul-Haq in the second auction of the Indian Premier League

Misbah-Ul-Haq is joined by Abdur Razzak ,Bangladesh left arm spinner and Shreevats Goswami, the Under 19 wicketkeeper in Bangalore Royal Challengers team

Its obvious that Rahul Dravid’s smart thinking brain is behind these excellent cricket selections - Misbah-Ul-Haq is an amazing batsman who will revel in the Indian ground conditions. In the last Pakistan tour of India, the Indian bowlers really struggled to get Misbah-Ul-Haq out, as he played even the great Anil Kumble with ease

The addition of Misbah Ul Haq makes the Bangalore Royal Challengers an excellent cricket team,boasting of champion cricketers such as Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble , Dale Steyn and now Misbah Ul Haq

Misbah-ul-Haq, the Pakistan batsman, and Indian Under-19 World Cup winning captain Virat Kohli have been bought by the Bangalore Royal Challengers in the second round of the Indian Premier League player auction in Mumbai today. The franchise also includes Bangladesh left-arm spinner Abdur Razzak and Indian U-19 wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami.

Kapil Dev ’s Indian Cricket League launches again




Kapil Dev ’s Indian Cricket League (ICL)

Kapil Dev ’s Indian Cricket League (ICL) launches again with great fanfare

Kapil Dev has launched a new edition of the Indian Cricket League (ICL)- the rebel cricket league in competition to the Indian Premier League (IPL)

Kapil Dev ’s Indian Cricket League (ICL) - The Edelweiss 20s Challenge’ is being played at Panchkula near Chandigarh, a better location

The Indian Cricket League ( ICL ) is being played at a better ground at Chandigarh,Panchkula. The earlier edition of the Indian Cricket League ( ICL) was held on a really bad pitch and had lead to some really embarrassing moments for the ICL organizers

The new ICL (Indian Cricket League)venue at Panchkula is definitely a better ground and fans should get to see some great Twenty20 cricket

Kapil Dev’s Indian Cricket League (ICL) has some new teams and great players

The Indian Cricket League has some rather interesting cricket teams -such as the Lahore Badshahs and the Ahmedabad Rockets

The Lahore Badshahs, the latest cricket team in the Indian Cricket League (ICL) is made of ex-Pakistan cricket team players such as Inzamam Ul Haq,Abdul Razzak,Taufeeq Umar, Imran Farhat , Imran Nazir,Mohammed Sami,Saqlain Mushtaq, Mushtaq Ahmed & Arshad Khan.


Simply based on the bowling attack, the Lahore Badshahs are definitely one of the favorites to win the 2008 edition of the Indian Cricket League (ICL)


The Ahmedabad Rockets are led by the redoubtable Damien Martyn and have one of the strongest cricket teams in the Indian Cricket League

The Ahmedabad Rockets have some incredible players such as captain Damien Martyn,Wavell Hinds, Murray Goodwin,Sachin Dholpure, Sriram Sridharan,Anshu Jain,Jason Gillespie,Heath Streak,Reetinder Sodhi and Rakesh Patel

The Ahmedabad Rockets have a good chance in the Indian Cricket League (ICL) with a good mix of local and international cricketing talents

Will Kapil Dev, the inspirational leader of the Indian Cricket League, lead the ICL to be a worthwhile competitor to the IPL (the Indian Premier League?

Lets wait and watch if the ICL - the Indian Cricket League can deliver- meanwhile this is a great opportunity to see great talents like Brian Lara,Inzamam Ul Haq and Lance Klusener before they completely disappear from the cricket circuit

England Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket - Daniel Vettori missed

England thrash New Zealand in the Twenty20 cricket series as New Zealand cricket team misses Daniel Vettori

The England Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket series was incredibly one-sided as the New Zealand cricket team missed the services of the Kiwi cricket team’s captain, Daniel Vettori

In Vettori’s absence, the England cricket team toyed with the New Zealand cricket team’s bowlers in the England Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket series, as Dmitri Mascrenhas and Paul Collingwood walked away with Twenty20 cricket man of the match honours

Daniel Vettori was the best bowler of the Twenty20 cricket World cup

Daniel Vettori is probably the best spinner ever for New Zealand cricket and he has demonstrated his expertise in spin bowling even in Twenty20 cricket. Daniel Vettori has been effective even against good spin batsmen such as those of the Indian cricket team

The absence of Daniel Vettori is a big blow to the balance of the New Zealand cricket team already hurt by the exodus of cricketers such as Nathan Astle and more recently Shane Bond

Daniel Vettori’s return to the New Zealand cricket team should herald a change in the fortunes of the New Zealand cricket team in Twenty20 cricket, one day international cricket and even test cricket

Mahendra Singh Dhoni ’s recipe for disaster in Twenty20 cricket match

Mahendra Singh Dhoni ’s youngsters get thrashed in India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket match at Melbourne

Mahendra Singh Dhoni ’s Indian cricket team has lost to the Australian cricket team in the India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket match.

Well, saying the Indian cricket team lost to Australia In the Twenty20 cricket match is an euphemism- in reality, the Indian cricket team did not quite know what hit them as they were bowled out for 73 runs off just 17 overs!

Mahendra Singh Dhoni will realise that even in Twenty20 cricket, experience does after all count

Mahendra Singh Dhoni insisted on filling his Twenty20 cricket team with young cricketers discarding the talents and experience of veteran Indian cricketers such as Dravid , Ganguly and Laxman. Even Sachin Tendulkar was left out of this Twenty20 cricket match against the Australian cricket team.

A recipe for disaster in Twenty20 cricket or any other international cricket match-Not selecting talented cricketers

The Australian cricket players cannot believe their luck as Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the Indian cricket selectors have decided to not select any of the senior Indian cricket players for the Twenty20 cricket match and the subsequent one day international cricket matches

The Indian cricket team’s selection woes have ensured that the Australian cricket team had an easy win over India in the Twenty20 cricket match at Melbourne

India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket match at Melbourne-Can Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s men revive the magic?

The India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket international will be played at the Melbourne cricket ground (MCG) on Feb 1,2008

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s young Indian cricketers have a really tough task ahead as the Indian cricket team takes on the Australian cricket team in the Twenty20 cricket international

Mahendra Singh Dhoni may miss Laxman,Ganguly and Dravid

For this India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket match,Mahendra Singh Dhoni may have asked for a young side that excluded all the veteran Indian cricketers with the exception of Sachin Tendulkar, but may regret his decision.

As the Indian Twenty20 and one day international cricket team may realize,that on Australian pitches, what matters is acclimatization to bouncy Australian tracks, and an ability to play under pressure against the world’s toughest cricket team

India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket international- Will the Harbhajan episode be a positive for the Indian cricket team

The Harbhajan Singh episode may again serve to motivate the Indian cricket team to do well in the India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket match at Melbourne.

The last time the Indian cricket team had a strike in Sydney, they recovered well to beat the Australian cricket team at Perth- this Indian cricket team’s strike at Adelaide may help them again stage a surprise in this Twenty20 cricket match against the Australian cricket team

Dhoni and his men face a severe challenge to their India Vs Australia Twenty20 cricket supremacy when they meet Australia

Shaun Tait demolishes New Zealand in Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket international

Shaun Tait returned from injury to demolish New Zealand in Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket match

Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket Match summary :Australia 186/6. New Zealand 132 all out in 18.3 overs

Shaun Tait has demolished the New Zealand cricket team in the Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket match.

Shaun Tait picked up two wickets off his first over in the Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket international to peg the New Zealand cricket team. In addition to Shaun Tait, Brett Lee, Mitchell Johnson and Noffke produced a superlative bowling effort to restrict the New Zealand cricket team to just 132 runs in this sole Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket match at the WACA in Perth

Shaun Tait struck with the ball, Andrew Symonds slammed with the bat in this Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket international

Andrew Symonds continued with his great batting form in this Australia Vs New Zealand Twenty20 cricket international by scoring 85 runs off just 54 runs.


Once Andrew Symonds snapped the New Zealand cricket team’s confidence in this Twenty20 cricket match, Shaun Tait applied salt on their wounds by getting two wickets in his first over to end any hope of the New Zealand cricket team’s fightback

The Australian cricket team is relieved to beat the New Zealand cricket team in the Twenty20 cricket international at Perth, the recent twenty20 losses to the Indian cricket team had dented the Australian cricket team’s confidence in the Twenty20 cricket format
