The first Test match was far too easily won by Sri Lanka, despite 120 overs being lost due to rain, whereas the second Test match looks to be going only one way – away from India. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/what-can-india-now-do.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/dhoni-blames-inexperience-luck-for-loss-against-sri-lanka.php http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/dhoni-blames-inexperience-luck-for-loss-against-sri-lanka.php#comments Fri, 23 Jul 2010 12:57:11 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1394 India may have been outplayed by Sri Lanka in all the departments of the game, but MS Dhoni did not fall short of the excuses. He blamed the loss on to the lack of partnerships that the Indians came up with. Dhoni said that each time a partnership grew in the Indian batting, the Sri Lankan side were able to bowl that magical delivery to get the batsmen out. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/dhoni-blames-inexperience-luck-for-loss-against-sri-lanka.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/previewing-the-india-v-sri-lanka-test-series.php http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/previewing-the-india-v-sri-lanka-test-series.php#comments Thu, 08 Jul 2010 07:45:57 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1342 http://cricketnow.in/test-cricket/previewing-the-india-v-sri-lanka-test-series.php/feed 1 http://cricketnow.in/india/indian-side-for-the-tour-of-sri-lanka-selected-yuvraj-raina-in.php http://cricketnow.in/india/indian-side-for-the-tour-of-sri-lanka-selected-yuvraj-raina-in.php#comments Tue, 29 Jun 2010 19:19:46 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1322 India has selected Yuvraj Singh in their 16 member squad to tour Sri Lanka for the three Test match series after giving him the axe for the Asia Cup that was played in the same country. What has surprised many of the critics is that without having had any practice during the one month, and without playing any competitive cricket, on what grounds was the dropped player selected in the side. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/india/indian-side-for-the-tour-of-sri-lanka-selected-yuvraj-raina-in.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-may-have-been-dropped-because-of-fitness.php http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-may-have-been-dropped-because-of-fitness.php#comments Wed, 09 Jun 2010 20:13:12 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1284 Krish Srikkanth may have refused to take any questions on any individual selections, much like he had not done so in the previous World T20, but he did say that fitness and fielding were the two main factors that were kept in mind whilst selecting the side. He added that the team had lost a few games thanks to these two factors and hence the focus was on them. Srikkanth also added that MS Dhoni was content with the team he had been given. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-may-have-been-dropped-because-of-fitness.php/feed 1 http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-singh-dropped-from-indian-squad-tendulkar-given-break.php http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-singh-dropped-from-indian-squad-tendulkar-given-break.php#comments Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:54:33 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1278 The Indian side for the Asia Cup came with a lot of surprises as the selectors decided to change things around for the tournament. Yuvraj Singh was dropped from the 15-member squad that got selected for the tournament, whereas Tendulkar was afforded a break. It was said that Tendulkar wanted a break to spend more time with his children before the start of a very hectic schedule ahead. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/india/yuvraj-singh-dropped-from-indian-squad-tendulkar-given-break.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/indian-premier-league/updates-from-ipl-week-one.php http://cricketnow.in/indian-premier-league/updates-from-ipl-week-one.php#comments Sat, 20 Mar 2010 10:15:31 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1103 The Mumbai Indians have begun this edition of the tournament rather well as they notched up two wins in as many games. In their first game, they scored a 200-plus total, and despite a blitzkrieg ton from Yusuf Pathan, emerged winners. The other game saw them crush Delhi after getting to a near 220, winning by 98 runs. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/indian-premier-league/updates-from-ipl-week-one.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/indian-premier-league/gambhir-joins-injury-list-as-dhoni-also-misses-out.php http://cricketnow.in/indian-premier-league/gambhir-joins-injury-list-as-dhoni-also-misses-out.php#comments Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:26:41 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1101 Gautam Gambhir has joined the list of injured players in the Indian Premier League when he did something nasty to his hamstring yesterday while chasing the ball. He missed out most part of yesterday’s game against the Mumbai Indians and will not play the next game for Delhi against the Chennai Super Kings either. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/indian-premier-league/gambhir-joins-injury-list-as-dhoni-also-misses-out.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/sachin-tendulkar/smashes-200-record-as-south-africa.php http://cricketnow.in/sachin-tendulkar/smashes-200-record-as-south-africa.php#comments Wed, 24 Feb 2010 17:44:28 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1050 The name Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar echoed not only in Gwalior’s Major Roop Singh Stadium but also throughout the country as he smashed a double century against South Africa in an ODI. Tendulkar became the first ever batsman in the history of cricket to score double century and it was befitting that it was Tendulkar who did it before anyone else! ]]> http://cricketnow.in/sachin-tendulkar/smashes-200-record-as-south-africa.php/feed 0 http://cricketnow.in/india/laxman-worried-about-lack-of-spinning-options.php http://cricketnow.in/india/laxman-worried-about-lack-of-spinning-options.php#comments Tue, 02 Feb 2010 18:18:35 +0000 Vivek Gite http://cricketnow.in/?p=1013 VVS Laxman has finally spoken out of what one always believed was the case. Talking to the cricket website, Cricinfo, he said that he was worried about India’s lack of spinning options in the domestic cricket. ]]> http://cricketnow.in/india/laxman-worried-about-lack-of-spinning-options.php/feed 1
