Left Arm Spinner Daniel Vettori confirms retirement from international cricket

New Zealand Cricketer Left Arm Spinner Daniel Vettori confirms retirement from international cricket.

“It was my last game for New Zealand so it was a lovely way to finish,”

“It would have been great to win but I’m pretty proud of everyone and the way they’ve gone about things for the last six weeks.

“To be able to finish in the final albeit without a win, I’m just very grateful for the amount of support I had particularly from Brendon [McCullum] and Mike [Hesson]. To be able to get back from a number of injuries and to be here and to be part of it ... is something I’ll always treasure.“

Daniel Vettori 

India will not win the Cricket World Cup, say Bookies

The debate on who will lift the world cup is getting heated up in cricketing circles as the final advances. Cricket pundits and experts are divided in their choice of their favourites. The world of betting is getting more and more intense as only a couple more matches are left in the tournament. Though there is no consensus on a clear favorite in mass media, bookies however seem to be having an agreement in their choice. Associates of a major betting syndicate here say that India is not their favourite, and they back Aussies in lifting the cup. Most of the wagers favour Australia, and money is being heaped on the Australia. Lets wait till the finals and see whether they lose their money or not.

Come on India - Indian World Cup Theme Song 1999

This was much less of a happy-go-lucky jingle and more of a battle ballad. This video begins with the Indian viewers making their seats in a troubled way till a single man gets on the barrier and roars "Come on India!"

Then, Shankar Mahadevan strolls lower the steps and rallies the audience regarding him while belting out a track which would speak out loud for years to come. Had mobile cameras and selfies been a thing back in 1999, Facebook would have seen scores of pictures of youth leaping on fences and yelling Come on India.

Here’s anything to replay over and over again, displaying some stars of Indian cricket in their youth. This was one appealing track which lent a growing pike to the 'Come on India!' cheer.

Sreesanth vows to return to international cricket.

Former Indian fast bowling sensation S. Sreesanth, who is  facing trial for spot fixing in a Delhi court, has expressed confidence that he will return to top flight cricket again.The speedster with a mercurial temperament was arrested on charges of alleged spot fixing while playing for Rajasthan Royals in the 2013 edition of the Indian Premier League.Once rated among the best fast bowlers,Sreesanth is currently out on bail.

The Keralite got a shot when a court in the national capital asked 'why was he arrested and where are the evidences against him'.A rather relieved Sreesanth later told reporters that he always said he had done no wrong.
"I am so happy with what has happened today. I had said many times that I have done no wrong. I am so fortunate that all along my parents, my family, my wife and friends always stood by me. I am sure I will be able to return to cricket,I have no complaints against anyone and all what I want now is to return to cricket," he said.

Team India director Ravi Shastri has told ESPNCricinfo that Dhoni "will be in Australia but not with the team." Shastri added that Dhoni will be on standby for Wriddhiman Saha, who is expected to don the big gloves at Sydney. "If needed, of course (Dhoni will be available)," Shastri said.

Why MS Dhoni Quit Test Cricket ?

Why MS Dhoni Quit Test Cricket ? Reason ..

Chanchal Bhattacharyya  the First Coach of Mahendra Singh Dhoni feels that his ward has taken the decision at a right time. From just another rookie cricketer from Jharkhand to becoming the most successful captain of India, Cricket Coach Chanchal Bhattacharyya has seen Dhoni come a long way.

Chanchal Bhattacharyya admitted that the Indian Captain MSD was not happy with a few things. “I think the decision has come at a right time. MSD has helped India salvage a draw in Melbourne, and for a skipper this is perhaps the ideal time to leave the game,” Bhattacharyya told to leading Online Portal today

India will be a bullet side in 12 months,says Ravi Shastri.

India will be a bullet side in 12 months,says Ravi Shastri. 

Failing to come out on top in crucial moments is something that the team should address, added Shastri, who mentioned that he was pleased with the team's aggressive mindset and predicted that the Indian team will be amongst the top-ranked Test nations within a year.  "This Indian team has pushed Australia hard. There are certain areas we have to address. Twenty minutes of madness has cost both our games. Little bit of luck and things could have been different. But, I am happy with the mindset. Mark my words, give this team 12 months and they will be back in the top two," Shastri said, in an interaction with Sunil Gavaskar and Sanjay Manjrekar.  "Here they have taken the attack to the opposition. They will be a bullet side in 12 months. They will learn how to cope with pressure. This is the first draw at the MCG in 17 years. The batting that I saw on Day 3 was something I have not seen in a long time. The whole of Australia stood up. India have not come out to compete, they are here to win. The scoreline does not matter," he added.          

While speaking of India's disappointing bowling performance , Shastri said the team lacks a quality all-rounder, who can ease the workload of the front-line bowlers. "What we miss overseas is a batsman in the top six who could bowl, somebody like Sourav (Ganguly) - a medium paced all-rounder, who could bowl overseas. I believe with four bowlers at times, the workload becomes hard."  "Discipline-wise, they bowled well this morning. They will learn from that. We will go to Sydney without a care in the world. To hell with the scoreline. You will have to take a chance with a certain player. At the end of this tour, we can do all the evaluation. It is important to have a sustained level of performance," Shastri added
