Third Seamer problem should be sorted in New Zealand

February 17th, 2009

Former India pacer and one of my favourite cricket players, Javagal Srinath thinks that one of the important areas that India need to sort out on their tour of New Zealand is the third seamer. While hailing India’s opening pair of bowlers as the best in world cricket today, Srinath added that the third seamer has been a problem area for Indian cricket with any number of bowlers walking in and out of that slot.

The former India spearhead thinks that Zaheer Khan and Ishant Sharma have been doing a fabulous job for the team, inconsistenct performances by the third partner means that the two leading bowlers are being forced to take undue load. That will mean the two bowlers tiring out early.

While in the short term that has an immediate bearing on the current match, extra load also means greater chances of injury being caused to these bowlers, who are vital to the success of the team. Let’s hope that the team management will be able to sort out this issue during the tour of New Zealand.

The first India vs New Zealand match is on the 25th February. We will keep you updated here with the live cricket from the series, and also with info on live cricket streaming for the India - Newzealand series.

India tour of New Zealand extended - 1 extra test and T20

January 16th, 2009

Only the BCCI could have had the gall to do this.  For years players had been cribbing about the fact that the BCCI put in place only one tour game on overseas cricket tours - now the BCCI has gone a step further, on India’s upcoming tour of New Zealand they have scrapped that one practise game too!

At the expense of that fixture, India will now play an extra test and an extra T20 game. Of course, the cancelled tour to Pakistan has allowed the Indian cricket team considerable breathing space, and they are now slated to arrive in New Zealand at least a week earlier than planned. India will now reach New Zealand on 20th February and play their first match - a T20 match vs New Zealand on Feb 25th at Christchurch.

Napier will hold the extra test.
