Australia 479/5 (139.0 ov)

Champions Trophy 2009 to be held in South Africa

South Africa will host the ICC Champions Trophy for the year 2009. The tournament will be played between September 24 to October 5. The Champions Trophy was originally scheduled to be held in Pakistan in 2008 but it was postponed to 2009 because of problems regarding security. In February 2009, the ICC removed the tournament from Pakistan because of safety concerns and said that Sri Lanka, which was the reserve venue, would be the host. However, in March, the ICC's chief executives committee recommended that the Champions Trophy be shifted to South Africa following concerns over weather conditions in Sri Lanka in September.

India vs wesit indies third ODI

West Indies has set a target of 194 in 27 overs, here team India will need to fire from the top order till the end to win this battle. Chances of India winning this match are rare and with this defeat Indian team is going to lose the series as well.

BCCI course for state umpires

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is conducting Level I courses for umpires at the state level to monitor their performance and handle the process through which they are inducted into national panel.

"Earlier, member associations would have their own exams for umpires and then recommend names for the BCCI panel," Stanley Saldanha, manager, game development, BCCI, told HT at the end of a course here on Thursday.

"To make the process more transparent, BCCI has introduced this programme. We got 24 of our top umpires trained by Cricket Australia and they will go to every member association and affiliated unit to conduct the courses," he said.At all levels, the umpires' performance will be monitored, both through a peer review system and directly by the BCCI. The system will be introduced from next season.

Also second one day match between India and West Indies will be played today. India had already won the first one day match but I am sure today's match will be tough for team India to win.

ICC T20 World Cup - Super 8 pool matches

As Predicted in my previous post, Sri Lanka beat Pakistan & also second match is going to be a closed one. But I guess my second prediction will be wrong as Harbhajan Singh just bowled a maiden over. Another good news is that destructive Chris Gayle is bowled out by Y.K. Pathan. For Indian batting Yuvraj Singh played a crucial role by hitting 67 runs. Below are the latest wallpapers from the tournament:






Hope India will win the match & the tournament. Will post the review of matches for next day of super eight pool for twenty twenty world cup later.

ICC T 20 super eight matches india vs west indies

The second round of the ICC twenty twenty world cup has begun and it will be a testing day for three Asian countries India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. India will play against West Indies and Sri Lanka will face Pakistan at the first day of super eight sound of ICC T20 world cup.

Chances of India winning todays match are din and I am taking 40% chances for India winning the match today. Whereas for the game between Pakistan, Sri Lanka will have the upper hand but Pakistan team may give them real fight. Reason for Sri Lanka being my favorite is that they have been in the super eight from the group of death beating Australia and West Indies whereas India and Pakistan were in the easy groups. But records favour Pakistan as they have never lost to Sri Lanks in any world cup game so far.

Also ICC Women Twenty Twenty worl cup has also began and I will post about the same tournament later. In the mean time just have a look at wallpapers of female cricketers.

ICC T20 World Cup - Super eights

Ireland defeated Bangladesh by six wickets and has now qualified for the super eights, Indian team also qualified for the super eights. Both the teams had defeated Bangladesh and are pending one match to be played against each other before entering the next round of the tournament. Other teams to qualify for Super eights so far is England

In another match being played between Sri Lanka and Australia, Australia had set a target of 160 to win and if Sri Lanka defeats Aussies they will be knocked out from the very first round of the tournament. Also postign below som of the pictures and wallpapers from the ICC Twenty Twenty world cup:

ICC T 20 Day 3 matches - Twenty Twenty world cup

Today in the day day three of Icc twenty twenty world cup to matches will be played first Scotland vs South Africa and second England vs Pakistan.

England has already lost the first match and will definitely need to win this one to be in the competition. Whereas for South Africa it will need to be stop the match from being another setback by the underdogs.

Yesterday India beat Bangladesh by 25 runs and Australia lost to West Indies. This lost once again proved that 20-20 version of the game in not meant for Australians. With a great start of the tournament and hopes are there that India can retain the twenty twenty world cup title.

T 20 world cup India vs Bangladesh match

Twenty Twenty world cup has begun and Netherland already made it clear that tournament is not just for the top cricket teams and new teams are going to give them a real fight. Netherland beat England in the opening match. today there are three matched to be played.

In the current match between New Zealand and Scotland rain cause the match to be shortened to Seven overs and Scotland has given New Zealand a target of 90 runs in 7 overs. This is surely gonna be second setback of the tournament.

Lets see will there be another setback or India going to win their first match of the T 20 world cup.

Wishing team India all the best for a happy start of the tournament and the fact that they will defend the wold cup winners title.

Other match to watch today : Australia vs West Indies.

T Twenty 20 world cup matches

today is the warm up match between India and Pakistan. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first and have scored 158/6 in twenty overs. Misbah-ul-Haq was the top scorer at 37 not out. Indian team is yet to bat and I think this score is pretty uch achievable for the stronger Indian batting line.

The T20 world cup is going to begin on 5th. All the best for Team India for the Twenty Twenty world cup. Hope they defend the world champions trophy
