Editor’s Pick (ODI): England - West Indies

By
England won the first and third test match. West Indies won the second along with the only T20 match played. So technically, they are even aren’t they? The two teams meet again for five One Day Internationals starting tomorrow, the 19th of September.

West Indies are looking for a lot more than just winning this tournament. They are looking for a clean sweep. And here’s why. They want to qualify for the world cup without having to take the entrance exam for it. Which means they have to move up in the world rankings and fit into the top eight. Now that is not easy by any standards. Not only are they meeting England who are in fairly good shape, they are meeting them at home. On British land. Where the weather is just as unpredictable.
The West Indies team are in for an uphill task. They missed the Champions Trophy earlier this year. Their absence was very conspicuous. They want to make up for it.

England made it to the CT Semis. They are in good form and shape mentally as well. Bairstow is still in. Jake Ball is likely to be given the ball as well. Will David Willey and Tom Curran be out? England brings in back the now well-rest players - Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes.

Let’s take a look at the squad
Windies: Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Kyle Hope, Marlon Samuels, Shai Hope(w), Jason Mohammed, Sunil Ambris, Jason Holder(c), Rovman Powell, Ashley Nurse, Devendra Bishoo, Alzarri Joseph, Kesrick Williams, Miguel Cummins, Jerome Taylor
England: Jason Roy, Alex Hales, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan(c), Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler(w), Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Adil Rashid, Tom Curran, David Willey, Jake Ball, Liam Plunkett

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 …
