CRICKET SINCE AGES
As you all know that the cricket was originated in ENGLAND . But the history of cricket in INDIA is known to very few !! So , here is an article on the glorious past of the indian cricket . Hope you will enjoy it !!!! Do let me know your comments ( I personally accept them to be kind ..... hehehe)
Cricket began in the eighteenth century in India, courtesy of the arrival of the British Empire, and it is thought that the first game of cricket there took place in 1721. Cricket developed further when the Oriental Cricket Club was formed by Indians of the Parsi community in 1848.
There was a quadrangular event staged in 1912 when the Parsis took on the Hindus, Muslims and Europeans in Mumbai, which became an annual event.
In that generation, the highlight for Indian cricket, which undoubtedly inspired Indians to play the sport, was when Ranjitsinhji and KS Duleepsinhji represented England after being educated there.
Their names still adorn the two key domestic competitions in the country - the Ranji Trophy (where players represent local teams) and the Duleep Trophy (contested between five regional zones in the country - West Zone, East Zone, North Zone, South Zone and Central Zone).
India made their first tour to England in 1911 under the captaincy of the Maharaja of Patiala, though they didn't play any internationals. Their first game was against Oxford University on June 1 and they completed the tour against Gloucestershire on August 24. An indication of where they were at then was demonstrated by an innings defeat to Cambridge University.
India made their Test cricket-playing baptism in England in 1932 when CK Nayudu was skipper.
The match was played over just three days but was still long enough for England to win the only Test of the tour before a reciprocal visit in 1933.
India went on to develop some of the best players in the world such as Subhash Gupte, Bishan Bedi, Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar, world record-breaking batsman Sachin Tendulkar and current skipper Rahul Dravid.
They are especially renowned to have nurtured some of the best spin bowlers of all time, like Gupte, Bedi, Erappali Prasanna and Anil Kumble. India's greatest success was winning the World Cup at Lord's in 1983 against an all-conquering West Indies side.
India Create History with World Record Run Chase
India's six-wicket victory in the third Test against West Indies at Trinidad in 1975/76 was no average Test win and was more than just a series-squaring triumph.
Their successful pursuit of the 403 West Indies skipper Clive Lloyd had set them made history when they reached 406-4. Their mark surpassed the 404 that a Don Bradman-inspired Australia chased against England at Headingley in 1948.
Although the same would have been an unlikely scenario half a decade later when Lloyd had the likes of Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner, Andy Roberts and Michael Holding to call on, in this match Lloyd had only Holding at his disposal of the fearsome pace attack that was soon to terrorise batsmen of world cricket.
In fact, this match is said to have been such a hurtful event to the West Indies and Lloyd that it motivated them all to ensure they were never beaten like that again.
So maybe the hapless batsmen of the next generation should blame India for setting the hostile bowling trend that was to follow.
For now, Gundappa Viswanath (112), Sunil Gavaskar (102) and Mohinder Amarnath made hay.
Even the great Holding, albeit a raw model of the great that was to blossom, was rendered helpless and finished with figures of 0-82 from his 21 overs.
The third-wicket partnership of 159 between Amarnath and Viswanath was the pivotal stand in which the match finally swung away from West Indies.
The home side, though, had their revenge in the fourth and final match when they won by ten wickets, albeit courtesy of a controversial decision by India skipper Bishan Bedi to virtually forfeit the match because of the West Indians' so-called intimidatory pace bowling.

BOLLYWOOD OBSESSION ..........
JUST CHECK OUT THIS GREAT ARTICLE..... IT IS ALL ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CRICKETERS
Top five Bollywood cricketers
It is often said that India is obsessed with two things - cricket and Bollywood.
It will therefore not come as surprise that the two have overlapped from time to time with many of the world's cricketing starts making appearances on the boards.
1. Shoaib Akhtar
The controversial Pakistan fast-bowler was offered the lead role in a Bollywood film in 2007.
At the time Akhtar was struggling with injury and rebuilding his career following a failed drug test so he might be tempted by the offer.
Shoaib was said to be surprised - if slightly amused - by the offer, but is willing to look at the script for Gangster.
Mahesh Bhatt, the producer of the film, believes Akhtar to be ideal to play the role of a gangster, because he combines animal magnetism, raw emotion and, strangely, the 'vulnerability of a child'.
2. Brian Lara
West Indies cricket legend Brian Lara looks set to swap Test scene with the big screen.
Lara has been approached by producer
Viveck Vaswani to star in a film set in Trinidad - filming started during the Cricket World Cup.
'Dulha Mil Gaya', or 'Found My Husband' is a romantic comedy and will feature Bolllywood star Shah Ruhk Kahn and has a budget of $2 million.
3. Brett Lee
When Brett Lee decides to call it a day out in the middle, he seems set for a career in showbiz.
Lee is already well known in cricketing circles for his involvement with the band 'Six & Out' - for whom he plays the guitar - and recently starred in a Bollywood music video.
Bollywood legend Asha Bhosle invited Lee to play the role of a foreigner who woos an Indian girl - the fast-bowler is seen miming along to the song.
He has already been offered a role in movie by respected actor Amitabh Bachchan, although Lee turned it down saying: "Mate I have had no acting experience in my life."
Fair dinkum.
4. Navjot Singh Sidhu
The former Indian batman plays the part of a cricket commentator in the film Mujhse Shaadi Kagori - 'Will You Marry Me'.
And seeing that Navjot Singh Sidhu has actually been a professional commentator after retiring from cricket, the role should have not proved to tasking.
The plot of the film sees two men fighting over one girl, culminating in one proposing on a cricket pitch - the scene also features cricket stars like Irfan Pathan, Mohammed Kaif, Harbhajan Singh, Javagal Srinath, and Ashish Nehra.
5. Kapil Dev
India World Cup winning captain Kapil Dev starred in a Bollywood film called Aryan in 2006.
The story follows the life of an Indian boxer who has to chose between his career and his wife.
Dev ended up playing himself as the leading character interviews him as a sports journalist, ultimately being inspired to get back in the ring through his wise words.
Kapil gave the film his backing: "We need Bollywood to make films on sportsmen so that youngsters in our country are encouraged to play sports.
