Editor’s Pick: England Vs Australia

By
Group A. Wide Open. With Bangladesh having won the match, Australia and New Zealand have been dumped to the bottom two. This adds pressure to the match today. A do-or-die clash always has its charm.
Coming back to us fans, while the men hope to do a good job on the field, we need to pick a good lineup for our dream team. Let’s get on with it.
England first.
England is on top with four points from two wins, yes. But there is no need to slack and take it easy. They would want their best men in front. 77% have added Alex Hales to their lineup. With a salary of 8, I’d want him on my team too. But then, that’s just me. Jason Roy is under pressure to perform, so he will want to put on a good show. I might risk him as well. Ben Stokes and Jos Buttler, still fresh from their IPL tournaments are pretty good bets. Joe Root is a must, along with Morgan of course. The Captain.
Now, the bowlers. Adil Rashid, Liam Plunkett and Jake Ball should be in.
Australia
Starting with the batsmen, Captain Steve Smith is most definitely in. Statistics state that 78% of the fans have him on their dream team. And why not?  Coming close is David Warner with 77%. Aaron Finch, Glenn Maxwell, Travis Head are a shoo-in.
Bowlers. What’s the team without Starc? With a high salary of 9 and fan rating of 74 %, he has good support. Him being in form is a good reason too. Josh Hazlewood is rated higher by the fans with an 83% selection. He’s on my team too. Throw in Pat Cummins, Wade, and Adam Zampa. The lineup is good to go.
Australia is yet to get off and score. Rain truly has messed around with them. This will be their first and must-win victory. England has already qualified. England will not want to stop winning, so their guard is not down either. This is a good match to watch. Traditional Rivals and all. Again, subject to rain. (Hating this disclaimer).

    Australia had one rain-day save it and one drown it. If the weather gods hold up for this game, they will be itching to get on the winning count. Big games call for big players, so I would put Smith, Warner and Starc in my team for sure

Chennai beats Mumbai and clinch thriller

By
It is not just about coming back. It is about the impact you make in the process. And Chennai team knows how to with a bang.  The Chennai team beat the home team by one wicket in what was an absolute sit-at-the-end-of-the-chair thriller. It was one of the best chases the tournament has seen and it most definitely won't be the last. The player who made the difference in the end - Jadhav - literally came back from the dead after retiring hurt to take his team to the finish line by hitting the ball in style with a six and a four.  Batting on one leg and playing an absolutely unbelievable shot, this player leveled the scores first with a six and finished the match with a four. 
Key Points  MI has never won their opener since 2013.This was Chennai's first win against MI in an opener of this T20 League DRS used in the league for the first time Bravo: It was a great team effort. I want to dedicate this win to the CSK fan, they have waited long for it. I came very early. I …

Champions Trophy - India is the team to beat

By
They say tough times brings teams together.  They say adversity brings out the best in us.  Looks like that is what is happening to Team India in the ongoing Champions Trophy in the UK.   AlI the talk about match fixing and spot fixing and conflict of interest seems to be bringing out the best in team India.  I am writing this blog just ahead of the semi finals where India will play Sri Lanka.  But got to say this - looks like team India is firing on all cylinders.  I have never seen the Indian team perform so commandingly well in a tournament before - especially one played outside the sub-continent.  All aspects of the Indian team seems to be clicking well and India is clearly the best team in the tournament so far.
Our bowling is superb, with the exception of Ishanth Sharma.   Bhuvaneshwar Kumar continues to impress one and all - the amazing thing is the carry he gets even when he is bowling around 130 kmph.  I don't think it is because of the wickets alone - I feel the carry he …
