Four reason why India won this world cup 2011

By admin

 
India’s win in the ICC World Cup 2011 can be attributed to the following:
1.       Dhoni’s captaincy: Not too many captains have had such an ice-cool demeanour on the field as MS Dhoni. It stems from the fact that he can maintain his calmness under pressure and that means that the side has also been influenced by that in many ways.

2.       Zaheer’s bowling: He has been one of the most under-rated player for the side, but you need to give it to the man who has bowled so well – and picked up 21 wickets in the tournament. The batsmen did not top the run-getting charts but Zaheer was at the top of the bowling charts.

3.       Yuvraj Singh: He is an excellent talent, but he had gone into the tournament as one of those who would have probably not made it to the playing eleven. The things changed with this tournament and there was no looking back. He was the main difference between him and the rest of the sides – an all-rounder who could get the wickets.

4. Our Hope :  We indians have trust on Indian players and spiritual trust of the indian people

Murali's final chance to do scar in India

Posted In: . By admin


Highest Test wicket taker Muttiah Muralitharan is highly unlikely that anyone in cricket tough or after can even approach the world scar the champion Sri Lanka bowler would set before retiring.

The ace off-spinner, who has grabbed a whopping 788 wickets to date from 131 Tests, is frustrated that he has been unable to make an impact in the ongoing three-Test series against India in which the visitors are trailing 0-1 going into the third and final match here from December 2.

The Kandy-born Muralitharan, at 37, in the autumn of his prolific career that commenced in the early 1990s, has threatened to walk into the sunset before the 2011 World Cup in the sub-continent because he feels he's no longer the silent assassin of yore.
Muralitharan has already announced his intention to quit the highest form of the game after his country's series against the West Indies next year but has now indicated he may quit ODIs too before the mega-event.
In the press meet his words....
"I am 37 years old and I can't bowl as much as those days because after 15-16 overs I get tired. But I will try and play a little bit of one-day cricket that's only 10 overs to bowl. If I find everything is not going well I might retire from both forms of the game before the World Cup," he told a Sri Lanka newspaper after his country's massive innings defeat to India in the second Test at Kanpur.

In two Tests in the current series, Muralitharan has taken only five wickets after bowling over 100 overs, conceding close to 400 runs with a best of 3 for 97 to show for.

Even his overall record in India in Tests is not very impressive, considering his stupendous performance in his long career during which he has grabbed 10 wickets in a match on 22 occasions and five wickets in an innings 66 times.

In total contrast are his returns in India, a meagre 36 wickets in 10 matches with a best of 7 for 100 at a high cost of plus-45 runs per wicket. He has also not taken a 10-wicket haul in India.

This pales even against his modest record of 93 wickets in 20 Tests at home and away combined against India with an average of just under 33 per wicket, including two 10-wicket hauls at home.

But Muralitharan is not an isolated case as far as legendary spin bowlers coming a cropper against India in the latter's backyard is concerned.
