Sourav Ganguly recalled for Test Series
Nov 30, 2006
Ten months after Sourav
Ganguly was unceremoniously dropped from the national
side, the former India captain was on Thursday included
in the Test squad for South Africa. Chairman of Selectors Dilip Vengsarkar said the Indian batting had failed in the one-dayers in South Africa and that is why "experienced players have been brought back". V V S Laxman, who was rushed to South Africa to replace an injured Rahul Dravid, was also named as vice captain of the Indian test team. Other players who have found a place in the Test squad include Delhi opener Gautam Gambhir and Punjab pacer V R V Singh. The first Test of the three-match series starts on December 15. India test team : Sourav Ganguly, Rahul Dravid, V V S Laxman, Wasim Jaffer, Gautam Gambhir, Virender Sehwag, M S Dhoni, Dinesh Karthick, Sachin Tendulkar, Irfan Pathan, Anil Kumble, Harbhajan Singh, Munaf Patel, Zaheer Khan, S Sreesanth
Fourth ODI @ St George's Park : Unbeatable 3-0 lead for South Africa
Nov 29, 2006
South Africa scored yet another emphatic victory, by 80 runs, over India in the fourth ODI at Port Elizabeth to take an unbeatable 3-0 lead in the series with one game to play. Herschelle Gibbs scored 93 to take South Africa to 243 and their bowlers triggered yet another Indian collapse, skitting them for a mere 163 in just 38.1 overs. Veteran leg-spinner Anil Kumble was the pick of the bowlers with 2-42 of 10 overs. Zaheer Khan and Sreesanth turned in fine performances at either end of the innings but that was not enough to beat South Africa.Reported Earlier : South Africa captain Graeme Smith won the toss for the third match in a row and decided to bat against India. For India, Sehwag is the acting captain as Rahul Dravid is out because of a broken finger. Wasim Jaffer replaced him and they also dropped spinner Harbhajan Singh for the match in Port Elizabeth. India trail 2-0 after two crushing defeats. India XI : Jaffer, Verendra Sehwag (Captain), SR Tendulkar, M Kaif, KD Karthik, MS Dhoni, IK Pathan, AB Agarkar, Z Khan, A Kumble, S Sreesanth

Nov 26, 2006
South Africa wrapped up the second ODI by 106 runs to go 2-0 up with two more ODIs left in the series. Zaheer Khan's good opening burst was neutralized by Justin Kemp's unbeaten 100*, his maiden in ODIs. The total of 274 was just too much for the Indians, for whom only Rahul Dravid and MS Dhoni could get going. Shaun Pollock finished with a fine 4 for 26, while Hall backed his batting heroics with 3 for 45. Earlier, a superb display of power hitting from Justin Kemp inspired South Africa to 274-7 in the third one-dayer, after India had reduced them to 76-6. Zaheer Khan took 3-42, but Irfan Pathan and Ajit Agarker went for more than seven an over as Kemp hit out late on.

School boys score 721 runs in record partnership
Nov 16, 2006
Two schoolboys in Hyderabad set a record partnership on Wednesday, evoking memories of a similar knock between batting great Sachin Tendulkar and Vinod Kambli nearly two decades ago.
Openers Manoj Kumar and Mohammad Shaibaz Tumbi both scored triple centuries and put on 721 runs as they batted through a full 40 overs in an under-13s inter-school limited-overs match. Local journalists were quick to recall the 1988 exploits of a teenage Tendulkar and Kambli, who both hit triple centuries in Mumbai's Harris Shield schools competition. Tendulkar and Kambli put on a record 664 runs for the third wicket for Shardashram against St Xavier's. Tendulkar went on to make his Test debut as a cherub-faced 16-year-old the following year and Kambli made his one-day debut in 1991.
Manoj scored 320 off 127 balls and Tumbi 324 off 116 balls for St Peter's School and they ran up the highest total, highest partnership and eventually the highest margin of victory (700 runs) in any class of the limited-overs game. A stunned St Phillip's School were bundled out for a paltry 21 in just seven overs.

Yuvraj Singh to undergo fitness test
Nov 12, 2006

Former Indian captain Polly Umrigar passed away
Nov 08, 2006
Former Indian captain Polly Umrigar died on Tuesday. He was ailing from cancer for almost a year.
A six-footer and powerfully built, Polly Umrigar was a veritable giant in Indian cricket both for his physical attributes and his achievements in the field. Beginning his Test career against the West Indies at Bombay in 1948-49, Polly Umrigar played 59 matches and scored 3631 runs including 12 centuries and 14 half centuries for an average of 42.22. An accurate off spinner, Poly changed to medium pace while opening the bowling for India. He was the first Indian to hit a Test double century. Polly Umrigar was the first Indian run machine before the arrival of Sunil Gavaskar in the scene.
When he decided to call it quits, after a career spanning 14 years, Polly was in possession of all Indian batting records most Tests, most runs, most hundreds. A shrewd captain, he led India in eight Tests with a tally of two wins, two losses and four matches drawn. He is only one of two Indian cricketers to score a century and take five wickets in an innings a feat he achieved against West Indies at Port of Spain in 1962. He was born on March 28, 1926 in Sholapur.

Adam Gilchrist sets record
Oct 30, 2006
Australia's Adam Gilchrist
is better known for his explosive batting than his wicketkeeping
but he secured a special place in the history of the game's
glovemen yesterday. The scorer of 30 centuries in Tests and one-day internationals, Gilchrist has become the first wicketkeeper to reach 400 dismissals in one-dayers. Gilchrist, 34, achieved the milestone when he accepted a chance off Glenn McGrath's bowling to remove Indian hero Sachin Tendulkar for 10 in their Group-A Champions Trophy clash in Mohali. Gilchrist, who boasts 16 hundreds in 85 Tests (5,124 runs at 48.80 overall) and 14 centuries in 255 one-day internationals (8,358 at 36.49), is also closing in on Queenslander Ian Healy's Test record of 395 dismissals.
