Seven Pakistani players storm into the subsequent IPL auction shortlist

The Indian premier league auction has now lifted the ban related to Pakistani players, and seven Pakistani players have stormed into the subsequent Indian premier League auction.

The IPL had banned Pakistani players for the last IPL auction owing to the dastardly Mumbai terror attacks, but the Pakistani cricketers now find themselves in the thick of things as they have been allowed to be a part of the third Twenty 20 league edition, which is scheduled to be staged from March 12, which is sure to delight the cricketing world till April 25. Shahid Afridi, the Twenty 20 captain for Pakistan, Umar Akmal, a promising batsman and Mohammad Aamir, the upcoming Pakistani pace bowler are all a part of the shortlisted Pakistani cricketers as the list also includes Imran Nazir, Saeed Ajmal, Abdul Razzaq and Rana Naved who have been benefactors of the Indian Premier League auction.

As it was the case of Pakistani cricketers to miss out last IPL league edition, it is now the turn of English cricketers to stay away from this IPL league auction, and as Lalit Modi, the IPL commissioner had pointed out, the new conditions which were imposed by that of the ECB were instrumental for the absence of English cricketers from this Indian Premier league auction. Even the negotiations made between the Indian and English Cricket Boards hadn’t yielded the desired result of bringing the English cricketers to this IPL auction.

The IPL auction, where the franchises make the bid pertaining to players, which gets based upon annual salaries, is sure to include new cricketers to the already existing international players who take part with their multi-year contacts with respect to this IPL league cricket. The new recruits related to the IPL auction has added 11 Australian cricketers, 9 South African cricketers, 8 cricketers from West Indies, 8 cricketers from Sri Lanka, 4 cricketers from New Zealand and one cricketer from Canada, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and Holland.

High and Handsome, An Immortal Sixer-shooter did that in style

Baird would have found this a most gratifying moment. The very toy that he had built was telecasting an absolute cracker of a contest between bat and ball. The one-day match between India and England was cresting to a sensational finish, keeping the audience on the edge of the seats.  Being a Scottish man himself, Baird would have liked England to be the victor than the vanquished in a match that held promises of a close finish. It was a run riot. There was sumptuous meal for the batsmen from this batsman’s paradise. It proved right with England posting their highest ever score in India. The seesaw battle for win saw the game swinging in England’s favor, though a distant Indian win was spotted in the horizon. The last lap of the match had begun and it was a solitary run that separated India from victory. Patrolling the crease was a sly fox in Ashwin ready to lay its trap, this time with the bat. Standing like a gladiator with the bat resting on his shoulder and eyes betraying

A Little Bird Told Me

The sound of clickety-clack in no way overpowered the urge to take a peep into the gorgeous M.A. Chidambaram stadium. As the train whistled past the stadium, the glimpse of the sanctum-sanctorum with the lush green outfield and the 22 yard strip was just the sight the tired eyes were yearning for. My spirits soared at the mere sight, but did not peak as it should have for the moment of truth was far away. The wait at the stadium for this moment of truth is a nerve-racking ordeal. Minutes, perhaps seconds, would mean a whole day at the stadium waiting for the action to begin. The excitement begins only when two men walk into the field, signaling the start of play. The limelight they hog, for minutes, virtually falls on the men in white as they make the entry. Their tribe counts more sticks thrown at them than the carrots that come as a pittance. Judgmental errors, lack of control, misuse of authority, intoned bias have been the curse for some men of this tribe who have paid a

Australia thump Pakistan

Australia completed the formalities to register a series whitewash when it defeated Pakistan in the 5 th one-day international at the WACA, with the ball tampering allegations proving to add fuel to the tensed atmosphere. Australia romped home to reach the target of 213, with three balls left unused in the Australian innings. The dramatic finish witnessed the winning run come in the form of a no-ball when Ryan Harris had hit the ball in the air to mid-off, as the no-ball then got declared by the square leg umpire. Mike Hussey, yet again played the role of a hero to perfection, with his 40 runs complied from 46 deliveries. His knock made sure that Australia completed the series with a 5-0 win. The sporting events were pushed to the backburner when investigations were initiated with respect to the ball tempering incident perpetrated by Shahid Afridi, the stand-in Pakistan captain. Caught by the camera, when he was using is teeth on the ball, the third umpire had reported the same to t
