My World XI Team...

Well I would like to kick start my blog with my favorite sport Cricket.. Wanted to form a team with players who have tormented the opponents and finished the game in their own style winning hearts of million cricket crazy fans all over the World .For any team to be successful the openers play a vital role in laying a solid platform from where the middle order can continue and Allrounders igniting at the end. Bowlers too need to play their part. At times when the top order crumbles it’s the bowlers who need to hang around and play the entire quota of overs. And when it comes to fielding, everyone plays a crucial role saving as many runs possible the team needs to have some partime bowlers who can click when the main bowlers are out of form and getting blasted. And i ve made an attempt building up the best team with 11 top players of the present.



Sachin Tendulkar

He s the opener who has every shot in the textbook, gives the team a perfect start. A true master of the game for 18 long years, his records are no bound. He can tear any attack in the world and turn into bowler's nightmare. His wicket stays the biggest prize for any bowler to cherish. His committment towards the game is amazing. Opens the innings, plays a pivotal role, anchoring the innings, gives his never ending thirst in the field saving every possible run, bowls his heart out with superb legbreaks. Always keeps the team alive,cheering all the players. Wherever he goes the kinda respect he gets from the crowd and players stupefying.




Adam Gilchrist

Most devastative opener, whose batting style has exemplified the scoring rate faster. Gilly has a excellent strike rate in excess of 90, who can blast his way through with fours and sixes flying to all parts of the groung.The longer he stays, more the opponents get rattled. A great keeper who pounces on to every possible catch leaving none grassed to the ground. He s the only player in Aussie camp who i respect to a great extent.. True gentleman of cricket whose honesty is appreciated worldwide. Never waits for the umpire to give him out, walks once he s out. One of the rare gems of modern day cricket with explosive batting coupled with brilliance behind the stumps.




Ricky Ponting


Archetypal modern day cricketer whose maturity and aggression have improved a lot. Known as "Punter" is well known for his quality fielding and the stunners he take pulls the crowd attention. Once he hits the ball it stays hit and boudary is the destination.. Many ve sailed into roofs struck from the sweet part of willow. Kinda middle order batsman who can stick when the openers fail to score.Captain of my side with lotsa tactics in his baggy, leads from the front and a spirited player.





Brian Lara

The King of Trinidad, a born wizard of style, each of his shots, the cuts, drives, woww awesome..!!!!

Once he gets the start he s unstoppable and runs just keep flowing. Sweet timer of the ball worth watching. He makes sure the team is safe with a decent total for the bowlers to attack. If you dont keep him calm he ll turn into one storm hard to stop. He along with Inzy crushed the toughest of opponents. Yousuf excels at both versions of the game and esp. in one day scores 20-30 runs before anyone notices.

Andrew Flintoff

One of the best Allrounders of modern cricket, who clicks with bat ball nd fielding. They are the key players of any team who can help out the teams cause..
