Is Anyone Cricket Fan?

A sad day for cricket 'THE GREAT WALL OF INDIA" RAHUL DRAVID RETIRES.........feeling a little sad today as he retires......i have come close quit watching cricket....
 
Hi Zhaldev

Well - The Little Master has finally done it - 100 centuries in international cricket. The cricket world is applauding one of the greatest batsman ever seen.

As for Dravid , he will be sadly missed, but not by his opponents on match days.

Take a bow, both men!

What are u referring to? I guess tomorrow's 20-20..can't say anything in 20-20 match.
 
Yes, result of multiple dropped catches, at least 2 off Sri Lanka's matchwinner.:crybaby:

Even so, have to say it sounds like a good match and in fact it could have turned up a really exciting last innings. Well done Sri Lanka, I hope England can pull their socks up and show us what they've got. Best of luck to India.

EDNA 236.

South Africa can be very scary when they strike form.

I don't think any one has come close to that great Australian Batsman Sir Donald Bradman who average 99.8% runs per test match
 
Congrats England for their win in SL..Finally England win in Asia and held their no 1 status.Fantastic performance by Kevin Peitersen and superb bowling by Swann.

also fantastic piece of captainship by Ganguly against Mumbai while defending a low total of 129.

Yes very true.Its really sad that his batting couldn't be filmed as the technology at that time was still infant.
 
Talking of Cricket I wonder if we will ever see the likes of Dennis Compton, a fine batsman a good captain and played a many fine innings for England, yet during the winter he would play football for Arsenal and even England, will we ever se the like again.
 
Even if they allowed the way the game is played nowadays makes it impossible to take another sports.Cricket has evolved during its time,it is not a gentlemen's game anymore and tours n matches have increased ten times since the era of Compton.

Bye the way there is a kiwi who i remember played cricket and rugby not long back.

At one time the Irish Rugby team was full of doctors and lawyers as all there members came from university teams.

And he was a fine rugby performer when asked to take part.(war time).

Also, his brother Leslie was a regular centre-half for Arsenal; a big man, good player; I believe he was capped on occasion by England at football and cricket. He was a wicket-keeper .
