Cricket South Africa

By
I have always loved the South African Team. Of course I am talking about the team that played in the 1990’s. If you are a regular reader of my blog, you would have realised by now that I am quite fond of the cricket of that era. They had some amazing players.
Allan Donald. Shaun Pollock. Mark Boucher. Jacques Kallis. Gary Kirsten.  Oh and I LOVED Jonty Rhodes. The catches he made while flying in the air. Amazing. Even Hansie Cronje I liked. That’s most of the players of that time if you ask me.

The current team is good. But none of them have made my favourite players list. YET. Never say never eh?

So, now, we are here talking about CSA. Cricket South Africa. CSA T20 challenge begins. CSA is the governing body for amateur and professional cricket in South Africa. Ram Slam T20 Challenge is the premier T20 Cricket Competition that takes place in South Africa. They changed the name a lot. It was first known as Standard Bank Pro20 series until 2010-2011. Then it was MiWay T20 Challenge for 2011-2012. Now it is RamSlam T20 Challenge.
What’s in a name right?
The tournament was born in 2003-04. The last one was played in 2016-17. There are six teams.

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 …
