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.

THE REAL HERO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
'Sachin plotted Vaughan's dismissal'
Sachin Tendulkar not only played a crucial innings but also a smart role too in getting the important wicket of Michael Vaughan in the second innings when the English skipper single-handedly attempted to thwart India's effort for victory.
Though Vaughan will considered himself unfortunate, as the ball after hitting his pad gently rolled onto the stumps, it was Tendulkar's advice to keep bowling to Vaughan round the stumps that finally clicked and triggered a batting collapse for England.
"It was Sachin's advice to bowl to him round the stumps and it got the crucial wicket," bowling coach Venkatesh Prasad revealed after India coasted to victory by seven wickets in the second Test on Tuesday.
"Zaheer has been bowling consistently throughout the match and, especially, he was bowling round the stumps to Vaughan which got him out," Prasad said.

THE SNAKE AND A "HUMAN"
This is a very ironic poem!!!!!!.It particularly displays the typical "human" qualities.
It shows how initially poet thinks the snake(albatross) as its guest and thinks to offer him his hospitality. He was fascinated by it. But still his inner "humanly" voice encouraged him to kill that golden snake as these types of snakes were venomous. Though the snake did no harm to anyone and silently quenched his longing thirst , still he thought to hit him just as an act of self-defence. But at the other hand he was a little afraid to kill him as it might attack him.
Though in the end he attacks him. But it might be because he wanted the snake to not to go into the darkness (the hole). But there is irony at the end of the poem when the poet compares the snake to a king and a god and it might be b'cos he is deeply regretful for his "mistake" .But it also shows that the poet was a good , calm and a peace-loving person (particularly for animals) .
So there is a similarity between the "night of the scorpion" and the "snake" as both of them show the mean acts of humans. Just the difference between these two are that in the former the reptile causes a damage to the poet's mother for it's own self-defense , whereas in the latter one the reptile doesn't cause any damage but still is caused harm. Though both the reptiles are protective and attack for defense .
But I personally feel that these are two are really good poems which poigantly define the typical "human" qualities very well.

A prison riot near Warner Park passed unnoticed by the bumper crowd that watched Australia beat South Africa in a Cricket World Cup match on Saturday.
International Cricket Council (ICC) officials were also unaware of the revolt, which was quelled by the St Kitts and Nevis security forces with the help of a task force drawn from across the Caribbean.
The national security ministry issued a statement on Saturday saying an uprising had erupted in the prison, which is located 400 metres from the stadium, on Friday night after prisoners fought off warders who wanted to search a cell.
"The prisoners were eventually subdued and the search of the cell was conducted resulting in a small quantity of marijuana being seized," the statement said.
"About 7.30am (1230 GMT) on Saturday ... prisoners escaped into the yard by using furniture in their cell to break down the door.
"The assistance of the security forces was requested by the prison authorities. Members of the police force and the St Kitts and Nevis Defence Force, assisted by personnel of the CARICOM joint Task Force, who initially met with some resistance, quickly brought the situation under control.
"In the process, several prisoners and one prison officer were injured and received medical attention."
A crowd estimated at 8,000 streamed into Warner Park a short while later to watch the match, which started at 9.30am.
The incident did not disrupt the match, and ICC communications officer Sami-ul-Hasan told Reuters he had no knowledge of the situation.
"A prison uprising? I know nothing about that," he said. "If it was going to affect the match I would have known about it."
The multi-national CARICOM Task Force was specifically formed to deal with security issues during the World Cup.
Holders Australia beat South Africa by 83 runs in the Group A match, the top tie of the first round which finishes on Sunday.
The seven-week World Cup, the first in the Caribbean, culminates in the April 28 final in Barbados.
