A Chennai classic

India vs Australia special


The stage was set for a gripping final Test at a historic venue and what transpired over five unforgettable days added to many terming the 2000-01 series as the best played in India ever. Matthew Hayden continued his impressive form with a sweep-filled maiden double-century but Harbhajan collected 7 for 133 to keep the tourists to 391. In India's reply, Sachin Tendulkar scored a superb 126 and put on 169 with Dravid as India managed a lead of 110. In Australia's second innings Mark Waugh scored 57 while adding 100 with Justin Langer and brother Steve as Australia battled into the fifth day on 241 for 7. Harbhajan took the last six Australian wickets for 15 runs in 17.1 overs to finish with a career-best 8 for 84; that set India a target of 155. Australia chipped away at India's batting and recued the hosts to 135 for 7, raising hopes of a famous series-clinching victory late on day five. India lost their eighth wicket at 151 but Sameer Dighe and Harbhajan kept their nerves to seal a thrilling two-wicket win that gave India the series.

VIRENDER SEHWAG (THE INDIAN ATTACK)


the attacking face of indian team is virendra sehwag.today india is number one in tests. to do that, virendra sehwag is one of the important person.
too many matches we have seen in which india is going to lose and sehwag has saved it.test, one day, t20, in every form of the game sehwag attack is comman.
in tests he opens the scorecard.when he comes he playes like a lightning. he comes to his fifty in just 30-35 balls.the non striker at that times stays on just 7-10 runs.

he has great partnerships with dravid.on one side dravid playes the ball neatly like a wall and on other side sehwag play attacking.mumbai or london,chennai or barbados
on each pitch he playes with great attack and plesure.he never gets in cricket rules and history. he playes his own game everytime.
after coming near century he never let the strike-rate go down. he never takes the presure of bowler. he makes target a simple thing like 200 in t20s or 300+ in one days.

waiting for bad ball is not in his blood.he not also playes techniqally like dravid and laxman.
attattack the upcoming ball is his technique.

he stands errect while playing the shot....no problem, but he keeps scoreboard ticking.he also runs like a lightning.
everyone says "he cannot face the short ball" but still he tries.he also had made centuries on fast grounds like australia and new zealand.
"technique is nothing" he thinks. only one result, bowler gets presure.

he had smashed two triple hundreds in tests. he is the first one to do this from india.he have many recors like this on his name.when india had a
 test match vs west indies in 2010 we seem a demo of his attacking he had hit his 100th six in TESTS! but still full version is coming.BE READY!!!

CLAP FOR THE CAP(hattrick)




The story is from 18th century, in london on a small cricket ground there was a match held between two towns.ofcource it was a test match.
to view the match many spectators were there from both towns,and also the kings of those towns. first three days went with nothing,very boaring.
everyone was playing very slowly.one two wickets were gone.but the match was balanced for both sides.every one was bored with the match.when day ends a
few spectators were left.but no one knows that there is coming a twist in the match on fourth day.

now the fourth day has started.start was boring ofcourse.the batting team could have lost 2-3 wics.over ends. now one highted bowler came to bowl.
he got a wicket on fourth ball.everyone looked at each others face as usual.after that a new batsman came to bat.bowler bowled. and surprisingly it was pin drop
scilence on the stadium.you know why? once more the wickets were in air. now all the batsmen were end for that team, so a bowler came on field to bat.
it was stil pin drop scilence.and again..........it was WICKET. everyone started to clap for the bowler.

after some time the day ended.at that time a king visited the bowler and gave him his royal cap as a gift.

from that time we know THREE WICKETS IN A ROW MEANS HAT-TRICK
