Mahendra Singh Dhoni - Great Gambler Of Cricket


Finally came a day when one of the greatest finishers in world could not finish the  game in his teams favor with his taking the game to the last ball and all the audience on their seats with heart in their mouth .Like all the memorable wins which he had given to India with his trademark approach, this lost will also be remembered ,as he rarely fails !!

Sunday September 7 2014, Edgbaston ,was the day which will be remembered by many ,especially by the Dhoni's critics who donot agree with Mahendra Singh Dhoni's gambling tactics in cricket .Like usual he took the game to the last ball for the powerful fireworks but eventually fell short of a hit ,which was the difference between the results which two teams got.The reason why people say gambling is bad because once you start getting results in your favor you become so much addicted to it that you almost forget the probability of losing and  start believing that no matter what you will get the result in your favor .

Cricket is all about challenging each other .Every ball by a bowler is a challenge to the batsmen and if batsmen decides to dominate the bowler and play on his own will than it’s the biggest challenge a bowler can ever get. Mahendra Singh Dhoni loves to challenge the bowlers each times he comes to bat and hence loves to test his powerful hitting each time he comes to bat. Yesterday Dhoni once again the man with strong will power has shown how much faith he had in himself and how much he enjoy the game and the challenges.

Even after losing the game at Edgbaston against England Dhoni took the blame and responded by saying that it was his responsibility to finish the game as he is better known for finishing the game .Well, he always takes this responsibility of finishing the game take any match which you can remember be it world cup final or countless IPl innings. It is really admirable that team India’s captain known his role both as a captain and as a player. He takes decisions for team , he keeps for team ,he finishes for team overall he took the whole responsibility of winning the game for India.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s tactics are so full proof that maximum time the only possible result team India could get is a win. His tactics are perfect for shorter formats like ODI and T20 and the heights which team India achieved under his captaincy need not to be recited all the times.Lets forget the loss and hope for many more wins. Long live the wins!!

Cricket Commentary Adds Life To Cricket

"Welcome to the Chinnaswamy stadium here in Bangalore, to the day two of the second test match between India and Australia, India in the commanding position here.."

"We have got the two captions out there, Heads is the call and its tails "

"India have won the toss and they have elected to field first "

"Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the post match presentation ceremony we had witnessed some extraordinary cricket today ..over 700 runs have been scored but at the end it was India that have managed to win this one"


Yes, Cricket is not only about bat and ball, it is also about commentary. Its the cricket commentary which adds life to the game and makes every moment alive. Just imagine a match without commentary, I bet you wont watch the full quota of match. Commentary involves you to the game and if there is no commentary there are chances that many will not even understand whats going on. A wicket will not be wicket, fours and sixes will never look like the ones without commentary.

There lies a parallel world of commentary with cricket. Ravi Shastri, Harsh Bhogle, Ramiz Raja, Sanjay Manjrekar are the ones who rule this world. With their unique speaking styles and use of adjectives  they had grabbed viewer attention on television and are the ones whom people wait to here. It is because of commentary only match starts thirty minutes before for many, just to watch the toss and pitch report which is been presented by commentators in their own defining styles and ends after thirty minutes after the actual match ends.

Bang on target, that's hammered away through the covers, jam packed stadium, electrifying atmosphere, the ball raced away to the boundary, ball will win the race, thats going going and gone, maximum, using the pace of the bowler and giving direction from bat, thats dusra for you, helicopter shot, upper cut, edged and taken are some of the synonyms used for describing all the cricketing actions going on the field and this is how those action become live for the audience watching it on television. Commentary make you familiar with actions and brings you more closer to the game by explaining all the things going around on the field.

Although, I  doubt their might be any one who is not impacted by cricket commentary but still if you are the one I will suggest you to listen to commentary as well while watching cricket, you will surly enjoy the game like never before.
