24 HOURS CRICKET NEWS UPDATING EVERYDAY

Virender Shewag has been playing in the Indian team for almost a decade as an opening batsman. He has had a distinguished record with 19 test centuries including 2 triple centuries. But his batting average of 53 is a slight letdown compared to Don Bradman's batting (test) average of 99. We can qualify the Dons average of 99 as it was only against two countries the UK and Australia. The Don never played any where else. So it is a moot point how he would have fared against the master Google bowler SP Gupte and off spin wizard Ghulam Ahmed on rank turning wickets in India like at Madras and Calcutta. After all Gupte tamed the famed 3 W's(Walcott, Weeks and Worrel) on the 1953 Indian tour of the West Indies. Shewag has the distinction of having played his cricket all over the globe. He has batted on all sorts of wickets and faced all types of bowlers. He has performed creditably in England, the West Indies, Pakistan and Australia. Shewag stands out as an audacious player whose name...

Cricket is a ball and bat sport which was first enjoyed through the earlier 16th century within Southern England. It was eventually identified as the national sports of England during the 18th century. People around the world soon discovered the exhilaration of this game when it was introduced to various parts on the planet throughout the 19th century by the British empire. This particular game has many resemblances with baseball but the mind-boggling sales records of cricket tickets demonstrates that the cricket game has more followers as compared to baseball. Based on the International Cricket Council (ICC), this fascinating game has been played in over 104 countries on earth. This organization firmly believes that this quantity will keep growing within the coming years. Plus, this sport is also anticipated to rule the world of sports entertainment in a short time. These days, cricket has been regarded as the second most popular sport on the globe. A lot of people are really dying to...

I really cannot tell you just how great a solar or crank radio is. I have now had mine for over 11 years and it is still going It may be spattered with paint, the solar panel may be a little cloudy because I left it out in the rain but it still works. They really are a great item that everyone should own. Not only do they save a lot on electric but they also are extremely portable and it means that you can listen to the radio anywhere that you go. I love the fact that I can take it with me anywhere and simply set it down and turn it on. If there is no sun then a quick crank of the handle and it works for hours. Of course the new designs are much more efficient now and it seems that the newer models require even less turning or winding for them to work for hours. This is great news for anyone looking to buy one now.I also noted that many of them also have a great little torch feature which means they are an even more versatile piece of equipment that is sure to come in handy in so many ...

Once again Sachin Tendulkar is in news and for all the good reasons. He managed to make yet another world record (did you think there was any record left that he hadn't made already!!!) by becoming the first ever cricketer to score a double century in a One-Day international match against South Africa at Gwalior on 24-Feb-2010. Sachin is no wonder an idol, youth icon and GOD for many Indians who praise him, appreciate him and love him in the purest form. Maybe he is the only person in Cricket history to have broken and re-broken so many world records that it is very hard for any aspiring cricketer to achieve the levels of success that he is attained in his 20 year career. Recently a political party accused him of being biased when he claimed to be an Indian first and then a Maharashtrian (the Indian state to which he belongs by birth). What was wrong with that? And the legend that he is, he chose to maintain his silence and an entire nation stood up in his support. I am very sure e...

Sachin Tendulkar has been on the cricket scene for nearly two decades and has piled up records galore. Bradman also had a career span of two decades (though a portion was cut short by the war years) and has the highest first class and test batting average ever. But when you compare two greats from different eras comparisons can apt to get colored. Thus it is important to fix some parameters while judging the greats. As far as cricket is concerned the period when Bradman played his cricket, it was not a Global sport and most of the Dons career centered on playing fields in Australia and England. It was certainly not Bradmans fault,but then it has to be considered that Bradman made his records only in two countries and never toured the sub continent or the West Indies. Tendulkar on the other hand has played most of his cricket in an era when the game is globalised and thus he his has played cricket in venues as diverse as Durban and Kingston to Lords and Auckland. He has batted on all ty...

Sachin Tendulkar has become the face of Indian cricket who has taken Team India to soaring heights. The red caps achieved by him and the number of world records has only resulted in him becoming better as a player and much more sober as a human. To name a few records, he has the maximum number of runs ever achieved by a cricketer, he is the first person to have made 200 runs in an ODI, he has the maximum number of caught and bowled instances etc. One of the greatest cricketing legends, Sir Donald Bradman once described a situation in his house. 'I saw him playing on television and was struck by his technique, so I asked my wife to come look at him. I know I never saw myself play, but I feel that this player is playing much the same as I used to play, and she looked at him on Television and said yes, there is a similarity between the two...his compactness, technique, stroke production... it all seemed to gel! in reference to Sachin Tendulkar.' Sachin, since he was 16 years old h...

In today's day to day unfolding world of cricket spinning and bouncing have become a common trend of Indian cricket players. Cricket is the mere game of a team and not a victory of an individual rather playing for just their own motherland. It's the combination of a bat and ball in pure terms of batsman and the bowlers. Glancing on the two parts it's the hard and solid efforts of both for steeping the ranking and purchases the accomplishment. Neither lone bat makes to conquest nor ball; it's the tough combining of the rare two in a perspective way that achieves to the goal. A term bowling can be measured in two terms - Fast bowlers and quality spinners. From the very times Indian cricket team has been losing the quality spinners and fast bowlers. Still the dearth of bowlers never led to its down fall as its standing by effort made it to remain a supreme power. Various bowlers depend on rate of knots, spin and flight to achieve their motive. The recognition of bowlers is...

After the last tournament, which was held in South Africa IPL is coming back to India in March 2010 with more passion and glamour.
