Vacancy : Good fielder – Indian Cricket team
Share
When Sachin Tendulkar dived to stop Charl Langeveldt’s shot from reaching the boundary line, I was forced to rewind a few hours backward to what Sreesanth did. A simple, straightforward fielding chance at third-man about 20 yards from the line and still Sree spilled it, giving away three runs to the opposition. Contrast this with the penultimate ball of the match when Sachin Tendulkar ran...

What a comeback by Shanthakumaran Sreesanth! The last we saw of him was in 2008 during the Test against South Africa at Kanpur, the same ground where he has now impressed everyone with his comeback. He is reported to have thought of giving up hopes of playing for India and nothing can change his mind and put him on the road to redemption more than the magic spell he weaved in the first innings.

During the days of Ian Healy (90s) and Adam Gilchrist (21st century), Australia never had to look beyond the two for second choices for wicket keeping. Gilchrist had to play the waiting game as a fielder before Healy was dropped on account of dipping form and age.

India has secured a lead in the 7-match ODI series with a win on a slow and low pitch at Kotla.
