Sehwag in the middle order is a good idea, Raja. Dhoni’s Test batting calibre when situations are difficult does not give any comfort. Rahane must be given an opportunity but with Viru now leading, would we see a change in the openers?

Comment on Yuvraj’s moment that stays etched in the mind by Sugel

Yuvraj Singh, who is only batsman to hit 6sixes in 6balls in T20 format named captain of Kings Eleven Punjab which was owned by Priety Zinta (Bollywood Actress) and Ness Wadia (Business Magnet). Yuvraj played many ODI matches for India and won matches single handedly for Indian team under his own shoulders. He is considered as one of the brilliant fielder in the history of world cricket. Yuvraj who is basically known for big hitter of the ball not played in IPL up to his mark. The expectations from him were huge. In his team the great players like Kumar Sangakkara, Mahela Jayawardene of Sri Lanka and Brett Lee, Shaun Marsh of Australia were included. In the opening slot Shaun Marsh performed brilliantly well and stood top scorer in IPL by scoring nearly 550runs in about 11matches. Actually Yuvraj’s one of his dream was to lead team India but it came in this process by leading Kings Eleven Team. In the second match of IPL Yuvraj did well with his bat by scoring 57runs of 34balls including 3sixes and 6fours but they put very decent score in front of Rajasthan Royals and they chased that score with 11balls left. Their first victory came against Mumbai Indians where there was big controversary between Harbhajhan Singh and Sreesanth and there after they won match by match as they were champions. They won 10matches of their 15matches played and lost only 5matches including semis. They lost to Rajasthan Royals in semis.

The formidable Indian team was built around very young talent back in mid to late 90′s with the likes of Tendulkar, Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly and Shewag being late addition. We need similar reconstruction now. Skip some marginal talent like Yuvraj, Raina for test cricket. Only if India can find few good bowlers, things can turn around.

Comment on A stint on AIR’s Sports Scan by Samir Sar

Namaskaar,

With all respect to the experience and maturity of our radio commentators of cricket match, I want to make a point for there improvements, in the description of the cricket match commentary.
I have observed that the radio commentators state the ankho dekha hall with the influence of character of a “Expert commentator”…
I want to say, they have to perform the describer’s role rather than a comment maker’s role as a journalist… Can any body pass on this Pc of information of mine, to them to perform, there duty in the commentators box at the stadium while watching the live game, which has been assigned & are being paid for… if they don’t know how to describe a live match, please ask them to look for recordings of old match commentaries of 70’s, 80’s & 90’s…
Few of the points due to which I am forced to write the mail:
1. They do not describe the field placement positions regularly during to balling. May be because they are influenced by watching the game, more in television, for avoiding this.

2. Very often I have observed the commentator while describing a shot by a batsman, forget to tell the location of the exit of a ball, to the boundary in the field of cricket ground.

3. Thirdly very often they also lose interest in telling about the type & form of baller throwing a ball to be played by a batsman regularly on each occasion, as used to be description of ankho dekha hall used to be described earlier, when we used to listen to the commentary in the small size transistors in our hand close to our ear. Now it has hot improved by the FM radio in mobile phones, but the quality of commentary has deteriorated to an extent all commentators have become “Expert commentator” rather than describing a cricket match for radio listeners.

At present, Resident from Gurgaon, earlier used to be at Shakti Nagar, Delhi

Bye for now & Take Care…

Regards…
