Failures: The Indian cricket team which had won 6 consecutive series in India and outside India was expected to give the South African team a fight in their own den but the youngsters failed to live up to the expectations. Shikhar Dhawan who made his test debut this year and made two centuries in ODI's was not up to mark in the test series as well in the ODI's, Rohit Sharma who made double century in ODI and two centuries in two matches but failed against quality pace in test and ODI, Zaheer picked 4 wickets in first innings of 1st test but was failed to make any impact after, Ishant was unimpressive in second test, Ashwin was unimpressive in test he played and ODI. Jadjea needs to contribute with bat. Bright Spot The bowling of young bowling star Shami Ahmed was very good as he bowled his heart out in both tests and troubled all the batsman, Virat Kohli did not play well in the ODI but played brillantly well in test,showed that the this young batsman can succeded and be...

This year when the Australian team went to England they played well in patches but lost the series 3-0 but today was the day when the Australian team regained the ashes. The Australian bowling was good in England but batting let them down badly but in Australia all the departments clicked well and trashed the England team in three tests so far. This team had the hunger to bring back the ashes.In this series so far Johnson has been the main difference with his pace going up to 145 to 150kmph which rattled the England batsman, along with that Ryan Harris, Siddle and lyon have given Johnson great support. I think overall Australia deserves all the credit for such performances in three test matches so far with two to go. For the England team only broad has been impressive with 14 wickets and Anderson, Swann has been not at their best in the series. Cook, Pitersen, Bell, Root have got starts but not converted into big scores to give the team a chance to fight. The first innings has been ...

 Highs: The Indian cricket team has been on a roll in 2013 be it A team, under 23 or the senior team. In the beginning of 2013 England came to India for five match ODI series India defeated them 3-2, then trashed the Aussies in the four match test series 4-0, then went to the champions trophy and won that tournament which nobody thought, won the tri nation tournament in West Indies invovling the hosts West Indies and Sri Lanka, defeated Zimbawawe 5-0, defeated Aussies 3-2 in the home series, made light work of West Indies team beating 2-0 in tests and 2-1 in the ODI series and lost the final ODI series against the South Africans 2-0.Rohit Sharma has been in fanastic scoring double century in ODI"s the third Indian after Sachin and Sehwag. Sharma also scored century in 2 consecutive test matches.  The batting of Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan,Virat Kohli , Mahendra Singh Dhoni giving the final touches to the innings has been a crucial thing for this sudden turnaround. In 2...

The expectations of the Indian crowd was that the Indian junior hockey team would reach atleast the quarterfinals but they failed to do so. The first match against the Netherlands as they lost 3-2, won against the lower rank Candada 3-2 and they had to win their last match against the South Koreans but they drew the match after they were leading 3-1 with 12 minutes. The Indians had to pay as the koreans scored twice to shatter the dreams of the team. I think they played well overall in the tournament but few mistakes did haunt them back. Gurjnder Singh was very good with the penalty corners scoring 6 goals in 5 matches. The classfication match against the Argentina was very good as they dominated the whole match from the start and won the match 4-2. In today's encounter against the Pakistan's they scored first and then with minutes to go Gurjinder scored from penalty corner and leveled the score. In the penalty stroke pakistan scored 4 and India scored 2. The Indian team did...

After a disappointing ODI series in which  the Indian  team lost 2-0, the MS Dhoni led side is looking to  turnaround the performance in the test series. The Indian batting which has won so many tournaments in 2013 has not been able to create any impact in this series.Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, and Rohit Sharma who are the top scorers in ODI's this year have not performed as expected. Since these three players have been key to India's success in recent times, South African bowlers were able to put pressure on them and win the first two matches easily. In the test series the Indian batsmen should play the South African bowlers cautiously and attack the lose balls. The Indian bowlers  in these three matches were poor and gave the South African batsmen too much width. The opening pair consisting  of  Hashim Amla and De kock scored the runs at will. The most impressive bowler in Indian team has been Shami Ahmed picking 9 wickets in 3 matches which shows th...
