One last chance for Zimbabwe in this series to register a win though chances seems to be bleak considering the way series has progressed till now. Pakistan may try to shuffle the players and give more chance to their bench and also at same time to win the series 5-0 comprehensively
This series must had addressed Aussies security concerns about their tour next month and hopefully Cricket Australia will take the right decission and the series will go ahead.
West Indies and South Africa meet once more for the 4th ODI of the 5 match series which South Africa already won 3-0. If there is any reason why West Indies has to win this then it has got to be pride of the West Indies Cricket. Though they played decently in last match, the score was not good enough in front of Kallis and Smith heroics. Doubt if this game can provide some entertainment in this one sided series but lets hope so.
After a month of longer version of the cricket, both teams are ready to switch to the shorter version of the cricket for the CB series between India, Australia and Sri Lanka starting in couple of days and they are gonna get warmed up in style with the help Twenty20.
With Yuvraj and Hayden(& may be ponting) absence tomorrow it will be interesting to see how both teams can fare. India will also have to play without RP Singh who was another superstar for India in this version of game apart from Yuvraj.
Just can’t wait to watch this match(any Twenty20 Cricket 
)
As expected Pakistan won the series after winning the 3rd ODI which was dominated by Zimbabwe for initial couple of hours before Afridi blasted their bowlers all over the park and helped Pakistan to put a good total to defend and Pakistan won it comfortably.
With nothing at stake for both the teams, the rest of the two matches are more of a formality to complete the 5 match ODI series. Zimbabwe needs a win more desperately than Pakistan here in next two matches while Pakistan hope to continue thier winning streak and prepare themselves for the upcoming pak vs aus series.
Welcome back for the Final day of the 4th and the final Test match of the four test match series between India and Australia.
Day 4 belonged to Aussies all the way, they not only got the lead but they are in more comfortable position than their opponents India. They ruled out all the possibilities for India pushing them for a win. The best result India can achieve has to be a draw but Aussies can still push for a victory. All they need to do is pick 9 more wickets in 1st two sessions as India will not declare at any cost with less than 200 on board and some slogging in the last session with Gilchrist and Hayden opening which will be perfect farewell for Gilchrist from test cricket. Well all that may sound too much optimistic but this is cricket and anything can happen.
We wish Gilchrist all the best and may god bless him. (Damn, hate to see great players retiring)
Thanks for being with us through out the entire test series and we will continue the same work for the future matches as well.

Series seem to be already one sided with no competition from Zimbabwe. If Zimbabwe need to stay in the series they need to win today at any cost which seems to be not so easy looking at the way they performed in last two ODI’s. While Pakistan had different issues to handle like team selection and the player management but that should not affect the match in any way.
With Utseya ruled out of the match Zimbabwe will have a new captain and may be that can bring some luck to them and put some competition here today and provide some good cricketing entertainment.
Day 3 is just one of those bad days in Cricket where none of the teams could dominate even for a single session and both teams has reasons to justify. India blames Aussies for defensive and slow approach while Aussies blame Indian bowlers for persisting with off side line approach and the ball. Matt Hayden had delivered once again when team is in need and surpassed the Bradman’s record of Centuries scoring his 3rd consecutive century against India at Bradman’s home ground. Hayden is the most consistent opener over the last 8 years and what a service he is doing for Australian cricket. Ponting who is out of form played one of the slowest innings he may had ever played and never took a single chance to reach unbeaten 70 at the end of day 3.
Still if any team got a decent chance to win this it has to be India but the defensive approach India always adapts will not let them win. Assuming if India can get a lead of even 100 runs before lunch or even in the 2nd session, they will not declare before a lead of 350 because they don’t want to take any chance and thats how they have been playing their cricket for more than a decade which means they can’t play aggressively.
Lets hope one of the teams lose wickets quickly and make a match out of nothing for all the cricket fans out there rather than a dead match. Also lets hope to see some fireworks from Gilly who probably will be playing his last innings in test cricket today on international arena. It’s very hard for all the cricket fans across the world to take the Gilchrist retirement news and he will be missed by everyone no matter which team they support.
Half Centuries from both the Indian spinners after the early departure of Dhoni and Sachin on Day 2 put India in a commanding position from where the chance of losing are remote. After fall of Sachin’s wicket Australia must had thought of restricting India to score below 400 but Kumble and Bhajji played excellently to take India past 500. Australians were careful not to lose any wicket and played at a Run Rate of 3 which is not normal from Aussies.
To have a winning chance India need to restrict Aussies below 400 in the 1st innings before 1st session of Cricket on Day 4. Anything beyond 400, this match will be heading towards a draw with which Aussies will be happy looking at the India’s score in 1st Innings.
Hope the 4th test will shape up nicely by End of Day 3 and we get good cricket to watch.
West Indies will be playing without Gayle for the rest of the series and Gayle will be missed a lot who can single handedly change the shorter version of game.
Lets hope the rest of Windies players puts up a good show and show some fighting spirit and make series interesting. With the loss of Gayle the series is almost one sided and hope a some player will step up and fill in the boots of Gayle and change the equation.
