Editor’s Pick(Test):India - Sri Lanka

By
The third match and final test match between India and Sri Lanka is here. India lead the series as of now - 2-0. Indian Captain and new coach Ravi Shastri are all smiles. And why not? The men in blue could be the First Indian Team to complete a whitewash and could defeat the lions in their den. That is really something. Another vital stats - Virat Kohli and team have six 600+ totals in tests. That is the most by any team under the same captain. Also, if India win this test, they win nine tests in the island. This will be the most by any visiting side.
In the second test match, C Pujara and A Rahane hit centuries. In reply to their first innings of 622, Sri Lanka managed only 183. Folow-on ensued. Sri Lanka was sent to bat again. They fell short. India won by an innings and 53 runs. That was truly below-par performance by Sri Lanka. They need to pull their socks up and hit back.


My lineup for tomorrow
Batsmen
A Rahane
Abhinav Mukund
C Pujara
Lokesh Rahul
Shikhar Dhawan
A Mathews
Bowlers

R Ashwin

Do you agree? R Jadeja performed exceedingly well. He deserves to be on the lineup. So does Karunaratne.
Last match winning combination
R Jadeja
R Ashwin
D Karunaratne

C Pujara

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. The inaugural edition of the TNPL took place in 2016 and received unexpected and unprecedented success and love. There was a brilliant batch of young men who came forward and made an event out of the first season of TNPL. Venues  India Cements Ground, Thirunelveli NPR College Ground, Dindigul  MA Chitambaram Stadium, Chennai  Changes The purpose of every organization is to make it bigger and better.

Editor’s Pick(PKL)

By
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
