The Funny Winning Run Scored by India!

India registers its first win in the Commonwealth Tri-Series against Sri Lanka. In the 46th over , bowled by Mathews of Sri Lanka Ashwin hit the winning shot which was ideally going to make him lose his wicket as it was high up in the air, very close to the pitch, towards the off-sdie and had at least two Sri Lankan players beneath it . It was considerably a very easy high-catch for any player. However, there was a twist in the tale as both took similar decision. Malinga decided to leave the ball for Tharanga and vice versa and the ball fell in between while Ashwin and Jadeja completed the winning run. Ashwin could not believe the rescue like everyone watching the match and had a astonished smile on his face. Well, rarely do we get to see these childish follies in International matches. All in all, it was a happy and funny climax of the match for Indian Cricket fans.

Kamla Pasand labelled boundary ropes may attract a fine of upto $66000 on Cricket Australia by the Australian Federal Health Department. The advertisment of “Chaini” which is fancy-packed spit(tobacco) were visible in almost all the matches. The advertisment is a breach of 1992 Tobacco Advertising Ban Law. Kamla Pasand being a company which is also into manufacturing of chewing-tobacco hence legally the adverts should not have been entertained by Cricket Australia.

As per reports these ads were removed in the first test match between India and Australia following complaints about the ad against the 1992 tobacco advertising ban law. But they were back after the Indian High Commission reportedly assured the cricket board that the product was mouth-wash.
The most shocking part is when asked by Cricket Australia the ad was allegedly translated in English as “Kamla likes fragrant Chaini mouth freshener”.

Well, Law breakers and manupulators find their ways out in the country , some way or the other but this time the limit was extended to a foreign country and at the end it is Cricket Australia which is likely to suffer by paying the penalty fee.

Recalling about the 2nd Twenty20 Match between Australia and India where India recorded its first win, Brett Lee had used his foot to stop a full-connect, straight shot from Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s bat. It was Lee who was bowling to Dhoni and a straight shot hit by Dhoni was intervened by Lee, immediately after which he was noticed shaking his foot, out of pain. Although he completed his last over , Lee’s pain was visible to anyone witnessing the match on their televisions. It may be the impact of the ball which hit directly on his foot that led to the fracture. Australia lost the match, yet they undoubtedly gave a tough fight till the last over of the match.

Shah Rukh Khan and Shirish Kunder, more known as Farah Khan’s husband in Bollywood ended up in a brawl in a Late-Night Party thrown by Baba Deewan, Sanjay Dutt’s friend to celebrate Agneepath’s success. Among the many , Shah Rukh and Farah were also invited.

Shirish Kunder had been tweeting sarcastically about Ra.One’s failure in the box-office which was Shah Rukh’s Home Production and it is also being said that even in the party , he kept annoying him some way or the other resulting which Shah Rukh and his Body Guards attacked him.

Well, while Shirish and Farah had their version of the brawl to sing about in the media and Sanjay Dutt and others in the party had a different version. The only thing which sounds common is Shah Rukh Khan punched Shirish.

Shah Rukh Khan has rarely been heard inviting trouble and knows how to maintain his stardom hence it is quite possible that Sirish Kunder may have harassed him so much that ‘punching’ was the only option.

On 4th February 2012 , bidding for IPL players would start in Bangalore and no Big Deal if in the forthcoming T20 matches scheduled in Australia , witness Indian Bats swinging for good. Matches are to be held on 1st and 3rd of February on Sydney and Melbourne pitches respectively. These matches would have sure impact on the bidding process of Indian players who are enlisted in IPL and would be playing these 2 T20s as well. So miracles of India winning the T20s(at least one of the 2 matches) may happen as it is not the nation but the personal worth of the players of India which would be on stake.

Regardless,whether the players play for themselves or the nation, it is important that India wins. That would somehow bring back a little bit of lost respect of Team India which got shattered in the Test Matches played with Australia and previously with England.

AGNEEPATH SERIES-INDIA VS AUSTRALIA…SO FAR, SEEMS TO BE ‘AGONY’PATH FOR TEAM INDIA AND FANS

It is just not a repeated disheartening loss for Team India, on foreign soil but also humiliating moment for Cricket Fans of India , lot more than the botherless Team India which does not even care to justify the continuous loss. More importantly, it has given reasons not only to the Media at home and Australia to criticize Indian cricketers but also the Pakistani Media and Cricket Fans. The story does not end there. Reports reveal that Pakistani Cricket Fans are happy about India’s continuous defeat while celebrating their Team’s remarkable win over England. Not to blame them as we are surely cricket rivals, since ages and after Pakistan lost in the last World-cup Semifinals, it got fueled again.

It is not easy to digest Indian defeat and to top it if Pakistan seems to be amused about it, hurts all the more. Indian media has been asking Team India to seek lessons from Pakistani Cricket Team. They have surely created an applauding comeback by overcoming all odds and winning against England. Pakistan Cricket Team is the same team which had created news with its key players held guilty in Match-Fixing and it is the same Team which has got back its respect by winning over World’s number One Cricket Team, England on their home-ground whereas India had lost 4-0 in England aswell.

Anyone who would have followed the India- Australia Test Series would not deny that Team India never seemed enthusiastic enough to turn matches and the result has humiliated not only Team India but the nation as a whole. Although Indians might not have celebrated Pakistani players found guilty for match – fixing but Team India’s loss has given Pakistani Cricket Fans sense of amusement, all thanks to our “Tigers Only At Home”, as claimed by Pakistani Media.

Indian cricketers are richer than any World Cricket Players and are treated as Gods in the country and even a bruise on their finger is a ‘Breaking News’ in India. In return, these are the same Gods who disgusted Indian Fans.

There is no comeback unless India wins the One-Day Series in Australia which all Indian Fans and Supporters can just pray for because the players seem cool about the loss and consider it ‘just a phase’.
