Women's Cricket World Cup - Australia

By
When a team has won six world cups, it does not really need an introduction now, does it? They are the obvious favourites. It does not matter what disputes are taking place at home. The team is on their own looks like and they are doing really well. Let the players be.
For the other teams, Australia will be the team to beat. There is a saying. If you want to get to the top fast, beat the one on top. Australia is that team. They are in a healthy place. They are the defending champions. They have all the confidence in the world.
Squad:
Meg Lanning (capt), Sarah Aley, Kristen Beams, Alex Blackwell (VC), Nicole Bolton, Ashleigh Gardner, Rachael Haynes, Alyssa Healy (wk), Jess Jonassen, Beth Mooney, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt, Belinda Vakarewa, Elyse Villani, Amanda-Jade Wellington.
Fixtures:
June 26 V West Indies
June 29 V Sri Lanka
July 2 V New Zealand
July 5 V Pakistan
July 9 V England
July 12 V India
July 15 V South Africa
Players to watch out for:
Meg Lanning. Captain. She is in peak form. She leads the team from the front by practicing what she preaches.
Ellyse Perry - She not only builds legacies but also guides the team to its victory. It is a win-win situation for all.
Belinda Vakarewa is a right-arm quick bowler with a mean hard pitch. She can turn the game around.
Alex Blackwell. Vice Captain. Specialist Batsmen. She has led the team before and shown tremendous success. She’s a good one.

Australia is top ranked. Yes. But they do have stiff competition in Traditional Rivals England along with New Zealand and a few others.

TNPL - A Brief Rundown

By
Based on the stupendously successful Indian Premier League is the Tamil Nadu Premier League. This Indian T20 cricket league has been established by the Tamil Nadu State Cricket Association to bring out more and more Natarajans and Washingtons who otherwise do not get a chance to showcase their skill and talent in the world of Cricket.

Editor’s Pick(PKL)

Four more days of Kabaddi, a teeny break and the next round commences on October 23rd. The super playoffs. All this hard work only for that. A look at the point table will give you an idea about who COULD go to the next level. Course anything could happen in the last minute. Anyone could topple. You remember the havoc Bangladesh created during the Champions Trophy. They threw out the big guns. I mean, they probably stopped West Indies from qualifying too, come to think of it. Back to Kabaddi. Zone A is still topped by Gujarat followed by Haryana and Pune. The other three teams - Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi. Zone B, Bengal take the lead followed by Patna and UP. Today’s match-UP meets Bengaluru. UP is third and are doing very good for themselves. Bengaluru, fifth on the table, don’t really look like they have a chance. Only thing they do want to do now is walk out with a smile saying yes, we tried. UP Yoddha - Squad strength: 18 (16 Indian, 2 Overseas) Defenders – Jeeva Kumar, Ha

From all of us Fans to Players & Officials: Please don't treat us with kid gloves

By Anonymous
As any fan will tell you, we not just love, but understand the sport and our teams like no one else. And that’s also why they keep bankrolling the big fat salaries of the players, the profits of the clubs and the boondoggle of officials. The recently concluded test match raised, in my mind, three instances where the thought process seems to be – it is OK for us to handle it, but it is too hot for fans . Common, now, please don’t treat us with kid gloves. One: The first one, inevitably, is about the DRS and taking the dugouts inputs in it. The rules are clear – the decision to ask for a decision review stays with the players on the field. Within a few seconds of the umpires’ decision, the batting team can dispute an out decision or the bowling team can dispute a not-out decision, without consulting with anyone outside the playing field. The controversy of Smith’s ‘brain-fade’ and Kohli’s allegations have played out ad nauseam on TV and cyberspace, so I will spare you that
