Shahid Afridi: Will quit, if I become a burden for the team
Afridi, 35, announced retirement from one-day Internationals after the World Cup while he had quit Test cricket in 2010. He recently announced that he was only going to continue playing T20 cricket and focus on building a strong squad for next year's World T20 Cup in India.
WC 2015: India top group without losing a single match
Misbah-ul-Haq Fastest hundred in test cricket (100 in 56 balls)
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq equalled Viv Richards' record for the fastest century in Test cricket as his side set Australia an unlikely 603 to win the second Test in Abu Dhabi.
Misbah and Azhar Ali each recorded their second century of the match - following Australian brothers Ian and Greg Chappell, against New Zealand in 1974, as the only pairs of batsmen from the same team to have achieved the feat - in a second innings of 293 for three declared.
Misbah's 11th four, to go with five sixes, saw the 40-year-old reach three figures in 56 balls and emulate Richards' effort against England in the 1986 Antigua Test.
Former coach Greg Chappell tried to remove Dravid as captain: Tendulkar
Dropping a bombshell, Sachin Tendulkar has disclosed that the then India coach Greg Chappell had made a "shocking" suggestion to him to take over India's captaincy from Rahul Dravid months before the 2007 World Cup in West Indies. "Together, we could control Indian cricket for years", the Australian told Tendulkar during a visit to his home when he offered to "help me in taking over the reins of the side" from Dravid, the master batsman writes in his autobiography "Playing it My Way" due for release on Thursday. Tendulkar is scathing in his criticism of Chappell who was the national coach from 2005 to 2007, describing him as a "ringmaster who imposed his ideas on the players without showing any signs of being concerned about whether they felt comfortable or not". Elaborating on the coach's bid to replace Dravid, Tendulkar writes, "Just months before the World Cup, Chappell had come to see me at home and, to my dismay, suggested that I should take over the captaincy from Rahul Dravid. "Anjali (Tendulkar's wife), who was sitting with me was equally shocked to hear him say that 'together, we could control Indian cricket for years', and that he would help me in taking over the reins of the side. "I was surprised to hear the coach not showing the slightest amount of respect for the captain, with cricket's biggest tournament just months away", Tendulkar writes. He says that he had rejected Chappell's proposition outright. "He stayed for a couple of hours, trying to convince me before finally leaving".I may never play for Team India again
After successfully fighting the dreaded disease of cancer, Yuvraj made a brief return to the Indian team when he played Twenty20 matches, but he has been a pale shadow of himself on his comeback trail.
He last played for India in a One-day match in December 2013.
"Definitely, a comeback to the Indian team is a goal....It's always disappointing when you don't make it to the side. But, that said, the last two years have been patchy, up and down. So it's not my call whether I should be picked.
Hopefully things will change, and I will be picked again, otherwise life will be very depressing. I can only try and do my best," the left-handed batsman told 'Wisden India'.
Asked if the thought of not being picked for India again ever crossed his mind, Yuvraj responded in positive.
"Of course, there is a possibility that I may never play for India again. I have considered that. But there is also the possibility that I might play for India again, and as long as I believe that I can come back and I have it in me, I'm going to keep pushing myself," he said.
Star of India's many a victories, Yuvraj said he along with other sidelined and struggling players such as Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir often talk about the good days.
"We always talk about the time we spent playing for India. We all know that those were the most amazing years of our lives. But, life still goes on, even when you?re not in the team. You just have to be positive and keep working hard."
Yuvraj did not do much to stake claim in the national team but he has still not given up.
"I can't really speak about selection. What is the best opportunity that I have? Duleep Trophy, the Ranji one-dayers and whatever other games I can get. As I said, if I can make it to the squad, it will be a great story. It will be awesome to come back and play for India in a World Cup again. If it doesn't happen, life goes on, and it will be hard to accept, but I'll have to accept it," he said.
India wins Chennai Test by 8 wickets
CHENNAI: India clinched the first Test against Australia with a
comfortable eight-wicket victory to take a 1-0 lead in the four-match
series on Tuesday with their spinners taking all the 20 wickets for only
the third time in their Test history.India achieved the target of 50, losing two wickets in the second innings to beat Australia by eight wickets before lunch on the final day of the first cricket Test at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium here Tuesday.
Sachin Tendulkar remained unbeaten on 13, assisted by two big sixes, and Cheteshwar Pujara on 8.
Earlier, Australia were all out for 241 in the second innings. Moises Henriques remained unbeaten on 81 and Nathan Lyon (11) was dismissed by left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja, who finished with three for 72.
Australia, resuming at 232 for nine, added just nine runs before being packed up in 30 minutes.
India have taken a 1-0 lead in their 4-match series against Australia
by winning the first test in Chennai by 8 wickets. The final day of the
test match failed to provide any unnecessary drama with India taking
just under half an hour to wrap up Australia's second innings with
Ravindra Jadeja getting the wicket of no.11 Nathan Lyon, caught at bat
pad for 11. Australia were bowled out for 241, leaving India with just
50 runs to get to win the match. India lost both their openers in the
chase, but knocked off the runs in less than 12 overs to land the first
blow in what promises to be an enthralling series.Resuming from their overnight score of 232-9, Australia added another 9 runs in just as many overs this morning as Moises Henriques and Lyon continued to bat for time, treating the bowling on merit. Henriques was fortunate that an inside edge in the very first over of the day from Jadeja bounced over his stumps, but apart from that looked quite solid. The debutant allrounder went on to make an unbeaten 81, an excellent effort following on from his 68 in the first innings.
India were left with exactly 50 runs to get to win the match, and the onus was on both the openers to take the opportunity to spend some time at the crease and get some confidence under their belts before the second test.

who is SACHIN TENDULKAR???????????
Sachin Tendulkar

Sachin completed his high school from Sharadasharam
Vidyamandir, and it was here where he met his mentor, coach and creator,
Ramakant Achrekar. Very few know that the greatest batsman of the world who
gives nightmares to many fast bowlers first started as a fast bowler himself.
But was suggested by Cricket Greats to focus on his batting.From his early days he impressed many by his batting. At just 13 he started playing for cricket club of India and at the age of 15 he played for Bombay in state level competition. He scored century on his debut in first class cricket and he was the youngest to do so. He scored a century in first matches of both the Deodhar and Duleep Trophy.
He made his presence felt when he made an unbeaten 326 in a 664 partnership with Vinod Kambli in 1988 in an interschool match.
Within one year of his entry in state level he got in the eye of Indian selectors and was selected to play for India against Pakistan at the age of 16 in 1989.

He played his first world cup in 1992 and since then he has played for India in six world cups the most by any cricketer of the world. He has scored more than 200 runs in these world cups, again the highest by any batsmen.

Australia Wins Women's Cricket World Cup
Batting first, Australia Women rode on Jessica Cameron's quick-fire 75 and a half-century by Rachael Haynes to post a challenging 259 for seven. Cameron's almost run-a-ball knock, which was studded with eight fours and two sixes, coupled with some lacklustre fielding by the Windies, allowed the five-time champions to record the highest ever total in a Women's World Cup final.
The previous best was 215 for four by the same side in 2005 against India Women. Australian pace spearhead Perry, who was back in the side after suffering an ankle injury, ripped through the West Indies top-order and had them reeling at 41 for three. The pacer struggled to get her run up right twice for her first delivery but drew first blood when she trapped Kycia Knight leg before in the last ball of her first over.
Chasing 260 to win, the Caribbean team were bowled out for just 145 at Mumbai's CCI.
She then struck in her second and third over to get rid off Stafanie Taylor and opener Natasha Mclean. Perry, who thought she had dismissed Taylor in the first ball of her second over when the ball just bounced before carrying to first slip fielder Meghann Lanning, struck three balls later.
Perry's figures after her first three overs read 3-2-2-3, and her devastating first spell ended with three wickets for eight runs in six overs. She was introduced two overs later when Deandra Dottin, known for her hitting prowess, was batting after Kyshona Knight retired hurt. Offie Lisa Sthalekar castled captain Merissa Aguilleira (23) to break the fourth wicket partnership of 47 runs.
Aguilleira had hit two fours and a six in her brief knock. Dottin, who hit a four a two sixes in her 28-ball 22, was also bowled by the all-rounder. After being reduced to 109 for five, things nosedived for the West Indies as they soon found themselves reeling at 114 for eight. Anisa Mohammed tried hard to fight back and shared a 27-run partnership for the ninth wicket.
Megan Schutt, who was the joint wicket taker earlier, became the bowler with most dismissals in the tournament with 15 wickets, after picking up two wickets in the final. Australia Women took home a prize money of USD 75,000 along with the distinction of being the top ranked team in the world, while runners up West Indies received USD 30,000.
Electing to bat, openers Meghann Lanning and Haynes provided a good start to Australia Women, putting on a 52-run stand, with the former being more aggressive of the two, striking six fours during her 31 off 41 balls. The right-hander perished at mid-off in the last ball of the 10th over.Left-hander Haynes, who later forged a 64-run stand with Cameron, notched up 52 off 74 balls. Her 88-minute knock fetched her six boundaries.The Caribbeans, who were otherwise sloppy on the field, managed to hold onto the catches at least. After sending back Haynes, the West Indies were quick to take the wicket of Alexandra Blackwell (3), who was playing her 100th ODI. Australia Women, however, did not let West Indies take an upper hand as Cameron and Lisa Sthalekar consolidated the innings with a 55-run stand for the fourth wicket. Just as it seemed that the two were set for a long haul, Cameron was dismissed.
Australia Women, who had been cruising along, had a few hiccups as West Indies struck twice to dismiss Sthalekar and Sarah Coyte (7) to reduce them to 190 for six. The Aussies couldn't utilise the power play overs, scoring only 15 runs, while losing three wickets. A late attack from Jodie Fields (36) and Perry (25) helped the side to reach a challenging total.
For the West Indies Women, Shaquana Quintyne was the pick of the bowlers with figures of three for 27.
KERALA STRIKERS WIN THRILLER
Ricky Ponting announces his retirement
"This Test will be my last," he said at a hastily-called press conference, adding that he will continue to play for Tasmania in the domestic competition this summer.
Ponting, who turns 38 next month, has failed in three innings against the proteas during draws in brisbane and Adelaide and pressure has been building on the veteran ahead of Friday's series decider in Perth.
Perth will be a fitting conclusion to a remarkable career.

| sachin tendulker |
Pujara averages 79, Kohli 61, Sehwag 40 and Gambhir 27. Dhoni averages 37. Even R Ashwin, who bats at No. 8, has scored 303 runs at an average of 38.
In Tests, Sachin averages a ton every 6.2 innings. But it's now 28 innings since he hit his last ton (146 vs South Africa, Jan 2011) - the longest he has gone without a ton. The previous longest was 17 innings in 2005-07.
Sachin has proved detractors wrong and bounced back from barren patches before.all indian cricket lovers will be hoping he does so again soon and returns to form, all guns blazing
England level series with 10-wicket win
Resuming at a precarious 117 for seven after conceding a vital 86-run first innings lead, the Indians were skittled out for a paltry 141 within an hour’s play on the fourth morning, leaving the visitors an easy target of 57 for victory which they achieved without much fuss with more than five sessions to spare.
Only Gautam Gambhir (65) provided a semblance of resistance before being the last man to be dismissed though television replays indicated that he was distinctly unlucky to be ruled out.
Reuters
The moment of triumph came through four byes off R Ashwin which triggered off scenes of jubilation in the England dressing room with the players hugging each other and celebrating a remarkable victory.
It was a pathetic display by the Indians who were thoroughly outplayed in their own den. While the spinners were a complete letdown on a track which suited them, the famed batting line up also left much to be desired failing to counter the spin threat of Panesar and Swann.
England, on the other hand, showed remarkable character and resilience to bounce back and square the series 1-1 after suffering a nine-wicket drubbing in the first Test in Ahmedabad. The turnaround was largely possible due to Kevin Pietersen and Cook’s centuries in the first innings and the brilliant bowling efforts of Panesar and Swann.
Australian MP questions award to Sachin Tendulkar
 |
PRIME Minister Julia Gillard may have endeared Australia to many millions of Indian cricket fans by announcing Sachin Tendulkar will receive an Order of Australia but sections of this country's cricket community are not so enamoured. |
Great batsman he may be, as the Prime Minister pointed out in New
Delhi yesterday with exquisite timing, but sections of the Australian
cricket community still remember the central role he played in the
Andrew Symonds scandal.
Tendulkar lied to an International Cricket Council appeal following the suspension of Harbhajan Singh for racially abusing Andrew Symonds during the Sydney Test in 2008 to save face for his country and his team mate, who was a serial offender.
While no one was surprised by Harbhajan's appalling behaviour, Tendulkar lost enormous respect on and off the field for changing his story from the original hearing to the appeal.
None of the Australian players involved in the drawn out farce wanted to comment publicly yesterday but Adam Gilchrist in his book True Colours described the appeal as a "joke".
 | |
| sachin |
"The Indians got him off the hook when they, of all people, should have been treating the matter of racial vilification with the utmost seriousness."
Tendulkar showed no respect for the Australian cricket community when he was in Australia last summer either.
At no stage did he ever bother to make a public utterance to his many fans and followers in this country, while India regularly locked its fans out of training, in contrast to Australia.
There were even widely held fears that Tendulkar would not respond to Mark Taylor when the former Australian captain and then board member made a presentation to the former Indian skipper during the Sydney Test, his last in Australia.
Tendulkar eventually did respond following a presentation on the ground as the SCG celebrated its 100th Test.
The Prime Minister revealed the rare honour during a visit to New Delhi, where she met with children in a slum playing cricket.
"This is a very special honour, very rarely awarded to someone who is not an Australian citizen or an Australian national," Ms Gillard said.
"(It is) a very special recognition of such a great batsman.
"Cricket is of course a great bond between Australia and India. We are both cricket-mad nations."
Tendulkar has played more times against Australia than any other cricketer, with 106 matches across Tests, ODIs and Twenty20 internationals, and five tours Down Under.
He becomes the first non-Australian cricketer to receive the Order of Australia since Brian Lara, who was given the award in 2009 "for service to Australia-Caribbean relations by promoting goodwill, friendship and sportsmanship through the sport of cricket".
Two other West Indies greats have also received the honour: Clive Lloyd in 1985 and Sir Garfield Sobers in 2003, but Sobers is an Australian citizen through marriage.
Australian cricketers who have been given Order of Australia honours include Sir Donald Bradman, Allan Border, Dennis Lillee, Max Walker, Bob Simpson, Keith Miller, Steve Waugh, Mark Waugh, Mark Taylor, Adam Gilchrist, Glenn McGrath, Matthew Hayden, Justin Langer, Bill Lawry, Ricky Ponting, Peter Burge, Ron Archer, Alan Davidson, Dean Jones and Belinda Clark
