  • Finest Wicket Keeper batsman I have ever seen.
     - landmine on 2008-01-26
  • Adam Gilchrist, who revolutionised the role of the wicketkeeper-batsman, has retired from Tests barely 24 hours after taking the world record for dismissals. The shock news means Gilchrist will depart on a global high at the end of the fourth match against India on Monday and his last ODI appearances will come in the CB Series, which finishes in March.
  • Gilchrist played 96 Tests, the same number as Rod Marsh, and has collected 414 dismissals, currently one more than South Africa's Mark Boucher.

2008 australia blog cricket india

  • 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.

Yuvraj likely to play against Australia

  • 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.

  • 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.

Cricinfo - Four fast bowlers no concern, says Kumble

  • Tait has never played India in a Test or a one-day international and he is keen to test them with his speed and bounce. A few of their senior players, including Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, came up against Tait in a tour match when they last visited Australia in 2003-04 and while he was not the dominant bowler in that match he has matured since then.
    • Tait is known for his injury prone body. Indians have to just play basics. Out of the four, only Brett Lee is a wicket inducing bowler. Indians have to see him off during his short spells and play basics/attacking against the rest. Even Lee can go for runs but you cannot relax against him. - on 2007-12-19

Cricinfo - A field day for left-arm bowlers

  • Very nice bit of information....game of numbers.
     - landmine on 2007-10-17
  • For the first time in an ODI, left-arm bowlers took all ten wickets in an innings (six for Kartik, two for RP Singh, one each for Zaheer Khan and Irfan Pathan). The previous record was nine, also in Mumbai, and also in an India-Australia match: the last time the two teams played here, in 2003-04, Michael Clarke and Nathan Bracken took four each, while Brad Hogg chipped in with one. The 16 wickets by left-armers in this match is also a record, going past the previous mark of 11, which had been achieved three times - in the Mumbai game mentioned above, in Dhaka earlier this year when Bangladesh played India, and in an Australia-Sri Lanka game in Sydney in 2005-06.
