SURPRISE ELEMENT-NEED OF THE HOUR

The game of cricket is a team game where performance is the name of the game. For sometime Indian cricket faced a tough task facing genuine pace bowling on overseas conditions and that caused us series after series defeat. Bouncing tracks and lateral movement all put paid our hopes and we could not force a single win in the entire series down under. It is our own making as the captain is not ready to experiment and try to make sure his men are in place in the side to back him despite defeats. Of course, we need a surprise element to break the Juggernaut 

LEFT HANDERS LEAD FROM THE FRONT

Last three days of world cup cricket saw the emergence of left-hand opening batsmen of three test playing nation did wonderfully well to lift the morale of their sides in a calculated way of hitting. Sunday sport showed the talent of Shikhar Dhawan doing wonderfully well against a strong South African side. Again Moen Ali did his job for England against a scintillating Scotland side. Now it is the turn of Chris Gayle to go berserk a made a match of it for West Indies with a hurricane double hundred, the first of this kind in World cup cricket in the last four decades. He was in wretched form before this match but made it big with his belligerent batting spree hitting 215 of 156 balls with 10 fours and 16 sixes. Gayle and Samuels added a record 372 runs for the first wicket and beating the highest partnership for any wicket in world cup cricket by Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid. Thus the emergence of left handed openers coming handy and they blossom at a right time to give their sides headway start in the World's Premiere Tournament.
LEFT HANDERS ARE GIFTED AND THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT IT

TEAM INDIA IS THE MOST PRIVILEGED SIDE IN THE WORLD CUP 2015-
THEY ENJOYED PLAYING TWO TOP TEAMS ON SUNDAYS IN FRONT OF CAPACITY CROWD AND THE THIRD MATCH ON SATURDAY- SO THEY GET ENOUGH REST TO NURSE THE INJURIES AND COME FRESH. NZ ALREADY PLAYED THREE GAMES. EVEN GAYLE'S 215 CAME ON A TUESDAY AND WITNESSED LIVE BY ONLY LUCKY GUYS. ALL IN THE GAME OF CRICKET.

GAYLE STORM IN CANBERRA BUT ONLY FEW SPECTATORS- HAD HE SCORED THESE RUNS AGAINST INDIA THE STADIUM WOULD HAVE BEEN FILLED TO THE CAPACITY AND THE MATCH WOULD HAVE BEEN PLAYED ON A SUNDAY
