England HUMILIATED by INDIA

India trashed England 5-0 in the recently held series in India..India outplayed England in all the departments..The hosts stunned the visitors by whitewashing them!The series was termed as 'The Revenge Series' by a news channel..MS Dhoni termed the word 'revenge' too strong a word to be used! In the first match India played well and got to a score of 300..England started steadily but lost wickets at regular intervals..That too after the dismissal of captain Cook the wickets started to fall down quickly..India won the match by 126 runs ! India won the second game in which the total was more than 230! Virat Kohli hit a magnificent century..not to forget Gambhir's knock , India won the second game convincingly by 8 wickets..The third game was the most interesting one..The match was held at mohali..England made 298 with Trott scoring 98*..Anjikaye Rahne scored 91 runs and Dhoni's cameo at the end ensured a victory of 5 wickets!In the 4th ODI England made a modest 220..India chased down the total easily finishing it in just 40.1 overs..India won the match by 6 wickets..In the last game England looked good but Dhoni ensured that the brittle bowling attack of England got a good trashing as he scored 75* in 69 balls India's total was 271/8..Again the batting of England was brittle..England got out to a flyer as the score read 129-0..Both Cook and Kieswetter had jit half centuries..One who was seeing the match would have imagined alas england would win but england lost all the 10 wickets within a space of 47 runs and were bowled out for 176 all out..England won the only t20 by 5 wickets..MS Dhoni wasn't dismissed in the series!(not also one time)Thanks to a good knock from Kevin Pietersen..India struggled as the got only 120 runs from the quota of 20 overs! England finally had dismissed MS Dhoni!Robin Utthapa was recalled and he failed .. even yusuf pathan.. He was run out! England got out  to a good start and lost Kieswetter and Hales in the first 7 overs but the start was good enough..Raina played a good knock but he got out and even he dropped a catch of Kevin Pietersen when he was only on one! Had that catch been taken the game would have turned on its head ! But past is past! It was a good series for India as all the youngsters excelled and there was no services of Sachin,Sehwag,Zaheer due to injury and Harbhajan was dropped! Jadeja who was recalled did exceedingly well by bowling,batting and fielding brilliantly ! The thing i loved from england's fielding was the diving of the keeper,Kieswetter..India will play against West Indies after 2 weeks!

Mumbai Indians win CLt20!

Wouldn't you believe it!  Mumbai Indians were down with injuries even before the start of the tournament!They lost Sachin Tendulkar,Rohit Sharma,Munaf Patel,Ali Murtaza and many more! After the tournament started they lost South Africa's Davy Jacobs who injured himself while practicing..Harbhajan Singh led the side..The finals was all an Indian affair..It was between Mumbai Indians and the Royal Challengers of Bengaluru..The cLt20 consisted of two groups..Group A consisted of Chennai Super Kings,Mumbai Indians,Trinidad and Tobago,Cape Cobras and New South Wales Blues..Group B consisted of Royal Challengers Bengaluru,Kolkata Knight Riders,South Australian Redbacks,Somerset and Warriors..All the ten teams had a chance of qualifying to the Semi Finals but only four made the cut..They were RCB,MI,Somerset and NSW Blues..Trinidad & Tobago were awesome in the last two games and won it! They were really awesome and lost their first two games in a very very narrow margin..Suni Narine was the most awesomest bowler you would have ever seen..He spun the ball both the ways which made batsmen difficult to understand..Even they had a chance of qualifying but they failed..CSK lost the first game as MI's Malinga hit a cameo,37* off 18 balls..CSK won against Cape Cobras and lost to T&T and NSW Blues!They would have qualified if they had chased down NSW Blues total of 202 in 102 balls but even they failed..MI and NSW qualified from Group A and RCB who lost their first two games qualified with Somerset..Somerset were a good team rigt from the beginning and RCB gained a spot in the semi finals after winning against Redbacks which was a last ball thriller..KB Arun Karthik of RCB hit six runs which was required from one ball.!Somerset lost against Mumbai Indians..Malinga bowled beautifully in the semi finals and RCB chased down NSW's total of more than 200 in the semi final! David Warner hit back to back centuries( against CSK in the group stage and against RCB in the semi final )!And it was a mouth watering final between RCB and MI ..RCB needed 140 off twenty overs..One would have imagined that RCB would win after Dilshan got to a flyer..But Malinga got the initial breakthrough and Gayle and Virat struggled in the Chennai pitch which offered a lot for the bowlers..Bhajji and Chahal bowled well and RCB were restricted to 108 all out! It was a great event
