April 1, 2010 by Leave a Comment
We are half way through the IPL 2010 season and we already say some great fielding display by players across teams. As we know the very famous saying of catches win matches in Cricket, so I thought of sharing some great catches of this year’s Indian Premier League Cricket. The catch taken by David Hussey right on the boundary line hit by Paul Collingwood was one of the best catches - it not only involved the physical skills but also a great presence of mind to take that catch and also prevent a six. This catch was in the match between Delhi Daredevils Vs Kolkata Knight Riders. There are many more catches like that - the return catch taken by Yousuf Pathan. Rahul Dravid took a wonderful catches while running towards the ball and maintain the balance. Following is the pointer where you can visit to watch all the catches and many more. To watch Yusuf Pathan fastest century of the IPL visit following link:Author: Mona Gupta (New Delhi) … [Read more...]
Yuvraj Singh: The angry prince
April 1, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Anger, when channelized properly can be turned to an advantage; else it only causes harm. The best example for this can be seen in IPL-3 in the form of Yuvraj Singh. How can one forget the 6 sixes he blasted, to avenge the treatment meted out to his bowling by England’s Dimitri Mascarenhas in a one-dayer in England? One could only feel sorry for the bowler Stuart Broad. And everybody said that the way to get the best out of ‘the crown prince’ is to get him angry. Woe to the opposition who meddles with him. But now in IPL-3 Yuvraj seems a shadow of his former self. Stripped of his captaincy of Kings XI Punjab, one can sense the umbrage he has taken. But one would expect the proud young man to play his best and show that he is an asset to the team as captain or otherwise. Instead we see him sulking, glaring…..everything but playing well. Right now one doesn’t see much of a future Indian captain in the former vice-captain. A good leader accepts his own loss gracefully. How will one who has no control over his own emotions manage a team comprising of different personalities? Though he is said to have suffered a wrist injury in Bangladesh, the cause of his current poor form looks more psychological than physical. Or, are issues other than cricket occupying his mind? Whatever, one likes to see Yuvraj Singh angrily smashing sixes and fours all over the place. Hopefully he gets back to his former self soon.
