| India-England ODI series timings revised by BCCI due to dew factor #IndvsEng Posted: 19 Dec 2012 05:21 AM PST
The matches will be starting at 12 noon which is two-and-a-half-hour earlier than the scheduled start of play. The five-match series will be played in January next year with the first match in Rajkot on January 11. Remaining matches whose timings have been changed will take place in Kochi, Ranchi and Mohali respectively. “The timings of the day-night matches have been revised, to counter the “dew factor” and ensure the best playing conditions for both the teams,” a BCCI media release said. The last ODI, to be played at Dharamsala, will commence at 9:00 am. The day and night match will start at 12 noon and end at 7.45pm. Interval will be from 3.30 pm to 4.15 pm while for the Dharamsala match, the session-wise timings will be 09:00 am to 12:30 pm (first session), 12:30 pm to 01:15 pm (lunch) and 01:15 pm to 04:45 pm (second session).  |
| Chance for India to become no. 1 in T20s #IndvsEng #IndvsPak Posted: 19 Dec 2012 02:30 AM PST
India are all set to play England in a two-match Twenty20 International series, starting in Pune tomorrow, before squaring off against arch-rivals Pakistan, in another two-match series, commencing in Bangalore on December 25. Victory in all four games for India, currently ranked third on the T20I table with 120 ratings points, will not only propel them to number one position with a gain of 12 rating points but will also open up a five-point lead over current table toppers, Sri Lanka. This will be the first time that India have a chance of making it to the No.1 spot in the T20I championship table since it was launched in October 2011.
But if India lose even one of the four matches, the best they can hope to end 2012 is at the number two place, while losing all four could mean slipping down to as low as seventh position with 106 ratings points. England and Pakistan could hope to push up a place if they win their games against India. Meanwhile, South Africa could rise up to number two spot if they win the series against the New Zealand 3-0. But the final positioning for South Africa will be determined by the outcome of India’s series against England and Pakistan.  |
| Preview: India vs England, 1st T20, Pune, 2012 #IndvsEng Posted: 19 Dec 2012 01:49 AM PST
Under-fire for the first Test series loss to England in 28 years and and with his captaincy under the scanner, skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni will have to put these issues on the back burner and motivate his teammates for the shortest format of the game. To the home team’s advantage, a younger lot of players some of who were not part of the Test series like flamboyant all rounder Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma and Ambati Rayudu would give India the much-needed edge and enthusiasm. All three are very good T20 players and would also bring the extra zip and verve in the fielding department which was absent in the Tests.
They have all been busy playing in the Ranji Trophy for their respective units and will be match fit too. Incidentally Sharma, who has been in good form with the bat in the Ranji Trophy recently, had top-scored with an unbeaten 55 when the two teams last met in a T20 game, won by India by a whopping margin of 90 runs in Sri Lanka earlier this year during the ICC T20 World Cup. Yuvraj Singh, who flopped in the Test series barring a fighting 74 in the opener at Ahmedabad, is back to the format in which he has excelled in the past. Dashing opener Virender Sehwag has opted out of the two-match series, which ends with the last match at Mumbai on December 22, and it has given the chance to Ajinkya Rahane, who warmed the bench right through the Test series, to open the innings with Gautam Gambhir. Rahane had impressed with a 61 when the two teams met in a T20 game last year in England at Manchester and would be eager to get going after playing Ranji Trophy games for Mumbai. Dhoni, himself a superb T20 and 50-over batsman, would be the late-order game changer, and with Virat Kohli, who had rediscovered his wonted touch with a patient 103 in the last Test at Nagpur, will give extra impetus in the batting and fielding sections. The new ball bowling has a fresh look to it in the form of Ashok Dinda, Abhimanyu Mithun , Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Parwinder Awana with veteran Zaheer Khan opting out. Dinda and Awana had been part of the Test squad in the latter stages but did not get a game while Mithun has been added as a replacement for his injured Karnataka teammate, R Vinay Kumar. Spin bowling department will be manned by R Ashwin, who would be extra keen to impress after a disappointing show with the ball in the Test rubber, Ravindra Jadeja, who made his Test debut at Nagpur, and Piyush Chawla, who too was part of the team in the drawn final game. England have made wholesale changes in their squad with triumphant Test skipper Alastair Cook returning home and replaced at the helm by hard-hitting middle order batsman Eoin Morgan who was part of the Test team but did not play a single game. Morgan is also the stand-in captain for the injured Stuart Broad, replaced by James Harris, who has returned home along with many other members of the team, notably Kevin Pietersen. The absence of Pietersen, who played a big role in England winning the Test rubber, would be welcomed by India. The star batsman is no longer part of the England Twenty20 team. England have included T20 specialists like Alex Hales, Jos Butler, Jade Dernbach, James Tredwell, Michael Lumb, Luke Wright and Danny Briggs some of who have been part of the development squad which played a few matches in Navi Mumbai when the Test matches were on. Retained from the Test squad along with captain Morgan are Tim Bresnan, wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow, Samit Patel and Joe Root, who made an impressive Test debut in the final match. Bresnan and Patel also had the opportunity to play in two and three Tests while Morgan and Bairstow did not. India have lost three T20 games, all in bilateral series, between the two sides. They had lost bilateral matches played at Lord’s in June 2009 and the next two held at Manchester and Kolkata in August and October last year. The game here would be the first T20 International played at the swanky Sahara Stadium on the city’s outskirts which hosted IPL matches last year. It has a capacity of 43,000. Teams: India (Probable): Gautam Gambhir, Ajinkya Rahane, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma,Mahendra Sing Dhoni (c&wk), Suresh Raina, Yuvraj Singh, Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Piyush Chawla, Ashok Dinda. England (Probable): Michael Lumb, Alex Hales (wk), Luke Wright, Joe Root, Jos Buttler, Eoin Morgan (c), Jonny Bairstow, Tim Bresnan, Jade Dernbach, Samit Patel, Stuart Meaker. Time: 14.30 GMT (21.00 local)  |
| Michael Clarke confident of playing in boxing day test against Sri Lanka #AusvsSL Posted: 18 Dec 2012 11:00 PM PST
The world’s leading Test batsman suffered the twinge in his team’s 137-run win over the tourists in Hobart this week and he is racing the clock to recover in time for the next encounter in Melbourne from December 26. “I know I’m in great hands with (team physio) Alex (Kountouris) and I know how great a physio he is,” said Clarke, who reclaimed the top spot in the ICC Test batsman rankings released Tuesday evening. Clarke, who entered the Hobart Test trailing Shivnarine Chanderpaul by just one ratings point, now leads the West Indian by nine points after knocks of 74 and 57.
“Obviously my preparation will be a little bit different to the lead-up to this Test match but I’ve done a fair bit of batting throughout the summer so I’m confident,” he added. The prolific Clarke needs just 55 runs to equal Ricky Ponting’s Australian record of 1,544 Test runs in a calendar year, set in 2005. The Melbourne Test is the last chance to overhaul his now retired former team-mate. Clarke was included in the 12-man squad announced Tuesday with Usman Khawaja on standby. The Pakistan-born Khawaja played the last of his six Tests against New Zealand in Hobart a year ago. “I’m really confident that with seven, eight days’ turnaround (the injury will heal),” added Clarke.  |
