  • Watch out for ...



  • Tanvir against Delhi's openers, Sehwag and Gambhir.


  • Glenn McGrath. Rajasthan were able to score only 33 runs off his eight overs in the league games.


  • Yusuf Pathan and Shane Watson, who form the mainstay of Rajasthan's power-hitting arsenal.
  • "It's been an interesting journey with the Daredevils. Basically, we have been in three finals already to get in to the semi-finals. If that doesn't prepare you for a semi-final, then nothing else will. To get through three must-win games steels the team. It will be a huge advantage for Viru and his guys.

    Dennis Lillee, Delhi's cricket advisor on the team's preparations.

    • Memories of Maco


      Malcolm Marshall ought to have been 50 in April. His biographer celebrates the all-too-brief life of one of the game's all-time great fast bowlers


    • Click here to find out more!
    • On April 18, Malcolm Denzil Marshall would have been 50, should have been 50 but for the colon cancer undiagnosed for three years which crushed even his noble spirit half way through his 42nd year.
    • ...8 more annotations...
    • The worldwide outpouring of grief when Marshall, reduced to not much more than 25kg, died in November 1999 was testimony to the genuine love and admiration he engendered.
    • Click here to find out more!
    • Marshall went on to become statistically the most successful Test bowler of the 1980s, suppressing his desire to be recognised as a batting allrounder once it became clear his springy, skidding action could cut a swath through the best international batting. As far as I could make out, only three batsmen irritated him.
    • In Dilip Vengsarkar's case it was more than irritation. It was an uncharacteristic blind hatred, at least in the early years. Vengsarkar had belittled him from slip at Bangalore in 1978-79 when the debutant Marshall was batting, constantly appealing until the umpire gave in under pressure and raised his finger for a dodgy leg-before. Marshall never forgave him and spent the rest of his career hunting down the great Indian batsman. No wicket gave him greater pleasure.
    • Marshall liked Geoff Boycott, admiring his technical correctness and his bravery. Whenever they played against each other, a curious ritual was enacted. As Boycott walked out to bat and Marshall prepared to bowl the first ball, Marshall would say: "You hookin' today, Boycs?" To which Boycott would reply: "Not today, Maco." Marshall would then bowl him a bouncer, Boycott would sway away from it, they would smile at each other and the match would begin.
    • On one surreal occasion I was a front-seat passenger in Marshall's car driving down from his house high in the hills over the west coast of Barbados when he spotted Boycott honing his batting with local youths willing to bowl to him on the rough-hewn pitch and then retrieve the ball from the undergrowth past grazing sheep. Maco slammed on the brakes, wound down the window and screeched: "Boycs, I'm coming to get you." Under his tan Boycott visibly paled. "No, no, I'm just finishing up," he said, putting the bat under his arm and vacating the crease at a brisk pace.
    • For those of us who remember the one-armed bandit of Headingley 1984, the swagger of a man who knew his place in history, we would like to think Wes Hall was right when, from the funeral pulpit, he boomed: "Malcolm Denzil Marshall is safe and all is well with his soul."

    • In this series against India we have witnessed something different and unusual. The visitors, with the worst disciplinary record in world cricket, have cried foul. After the Sydney Test, a comment by Kumble to the effect that only one side had been playing in the true spirit of the game, was seized on by the media.
    • Kumble succeeded in muddying the waters. It was no longer just poor umpiring. Somehow the poor behaviour of our cricketers contributed to the result. This was brilliantly conceived and executed.
    • Previous successes had not been built around any overt goodwill toward opposition sides.

    • Many Australians underestimate Indian people, seeing them as modest, humble, self-effacing types who are often mistreated and misunderstood. Underneath that exterior you will find many with devious cunning, ruthlessness, astute brains and acumen. Just ask Pacific islanders of countries with a large Indian population base.

    A man nicknamed Death - 0 views

    • The shortest Test, both in terms of time taken and balls bowled, was the remarkable fifth Test between Australia and South Africa on a "sticky dog" of a pitch in Melbourne in 1931-32. There were only five hours and 53 minutes of play, and just 109.2 six-ball overs all told.

    • At the start of West Indies' second innings in the second Test at Cape Town, Makhaya Ntini bowled five maidens in a row. What is the longest spell of consecutive maidens by a bowler in Test cricket? asked Marian van Oorschot


      The most successive maiden overs in a Test is 21, by the Indian slow left-armer Bapu Nadkarni, in the first Test against England in Madras in 1963-64, when his overall figures were an astonishing 32-27-5-0. Nadkarni bowled 131 successive dot-balls in that spell, but that didn't break the Test record, which remains 137, by the South African offspinner Hugh Tayfield against England in Durban in 1956-57. Those were eight-ball overs, though, so Tayfield managed "only" 16 maidens in that spell, which spanned both innings.

    • Who was nicknamed "Whispering Death"? asked Arnold Proctor from Marylebone


      This was the great West Indian fast bowler Michael Holding, who's now a treacle-voiced television commentator. The nickname originally came from an umpire, and referred to Holding's athletic, light-footed run-up - unlike some more lumbering pacemen, you couldn't hear him coming. Holding called his 1993 autobiography Whispering Death.

    shared by Pankaj Sharma on 21 Sep 07 - Snapshot
    • nd so, after the cut and thrust of the last ten days, a tournament that began with 12 teams has been whittled down to four. Pakistan take on New Zealand in Cape Town, but arguably the more mouthwatering contest is in Durban, where India, riding high after two top-class performances against England and South Africa, take on Australia, world champions in all forms of the game, but showing unusual signs of susceptibility in the Twenty20 format.

      australia is better that India. But I agree if we forget the past and concentrate on quick wickets, we should be able to defeat Australia. Pakistan has already done it.

    • Berlin, Germany, November 3, 2007—U.S. "chess boxer" David Depto (right) makes a move while playing against German Frank Stoldt (left) during the chess boxing world championship.



      Chess boxing, a sport that alternates between speed chess and boxing rounds, has grown in popularity across Europe.



      To win, players must either checkmate or knock out their opponent within 11 rounds.



      Local favorite Stoldt won the championship in the seventh round with a checkmate.
